Guess what makes it free?

And there are things you can do to prevent pop ups.

Welcome to the internet.

Yeah I hate the pop ups too. I would recommend you get the Google tool bar with pop up blocker. I have it and it works great!

Just hold control when you click something that you want to pop up.

They didnt lie. They are still pop-up free. This is an XBA site, not XBC. Just cuz Xbc forums are on here, it doesnt make this an xbc site.

There's really nothing we can do about it though, it's either you get popups - or you get the whole site splattered with banner ads like other sites.

And for those that say they're going to leave because of the popups, if you want, I'm sure Stephen would take donations to pay for all our bandwidth that we use of his that he pays for each month....you gotta pay the bills somehow. People just don't understand that everything out there isn't free.

I Spoke with Stephen from XBA. Bio}{azard myself, and the other Admins were vey concerned about this. YOu will not see two popups everytime you click a link. Believe me that was making XBC staff off too. As you know XBC has never had popups, so now you should see the occasional popups. XBA uses alot more bandwith on thier forums, so they need help with paying the bills. You have to have money to make money right. Thank you guys for understanding that.
