Man I love this site!
BUT...... COME ON this is ridiculous. Every stinkin screenshot pops up more ad banners! I have never seen so many ad banners generated by a site.
Isn't this a little extreme?

Hail, O XBOX, virgins I sacrifice unto you

Yeah, I hate pop ups, too...but, the quality of this site outweighs this inconvenience. Way to go XBoxAddict.com!!!!!
I agree, this is the best gaming site I have ever come across. I understand that it is ultimately a business, but even the most successful high profile sites Anandtech.com as example don't hammer the user with THAT many banners. Build the ads on the page somewhere itself or something.
:::awaits angry reply from the admin stating that they serve 5 zillion gigs of transfer each month which equates to $1,000.00 or more in fees....plus hosting:::::
While bandwidth is like gold on the web, I strongly doubt this site is pulling in any traffic which would require more than one or 2 banners to offset costs.
This site is part of an entire "xbox network", and if you visit any of the other sites, you'll see they have the same pop-ups, and the same quantity of them.
Frustrating indeed, but unfortunately is sometimes deemed a necessary evil.
You could always install a pop-up killer application, SACK.
Thanks for the info.
Im gonna make mine short & 2 sweeeeeeeeeeeet!!
Plain and simple, pop ups suck a$$, but everyone,.... this is how these guys have to make their paper to survive.
Just something we all have to except for a website that's very much so worth it
Ninja Scroll,
I agree that to sustain a site of this quality ads are necessary but I totally disagree with their methods. Take a look at other websites that are a major success, checkout the site I mentioned above:
www.anandtech.com
That site makes a ton of cash without annoying popups because they blend ads into the normal site... a MUCH better solution.
As for me, I downloaded a pop-up killer. I love this site don't get me wrong, it IS one of the best designed sites I have seen... especially this forum (by far the best) BUT to generate a pop-up on EACH screenshot you look at??? Come on!!!! I watched the pop-up killer and after only about 5 minutes of checking out screenshots the killer already blocked over 60 ad banners... that is 60 annoyances IMO.
Also ad-popups make it REAL hard to websurf at work and quickly close a window when the big guy walks up hahahah.
SACK
