I'm starting a UO news site (yeah, yeah, I know there's a ton but I'm just doing it for fun). So have a look at my website. Do you see anything in particular that you don't like? I'm trying to make a nice, simple setup.

(Yes it's on .tk and yes it's on geoshities)

You quit when you see a couple of popups? Um... that's just stupid.

Remember, not everyone is tolerant of pop-ups in the least. I am one of them.

Calling someone stupid for this is asking for trouble. It would be no different than calling someone stupid for creating yet another UO news site when there's already many of them.

Please think about your replies before posting.

Nice effort. :-) Just gota? work on finding a better host. If you?re serious, it?s worth the money to invest in a commercial server.

See? Now there?s a good sport! When your competition has enough gonads to applaud you, it means something. Too bad the real world isn?t like that.

popupstopper free. Of course now it's got an annoying splash screen but I have an older version on my ftp that doesn't have it, ftp://ldtek.com
I run Symantec Corporate 8 and I update my defs every day but the usual if you get a virus it isn't my fault disclaimer stands.

I didn't call him stupid, I called what he did stupid. Well in any way, sorry if I offended anyone.

You didnt offend me for what you said but how you replied did. You ask for opinions and thoughts and I gave you one. A simple "ok thanks" would have done just fine. I know some of you may find it weird that when I open a site and see pop ups I close everything. I just dont tolerate it anymore. And as stated above if your serious about making a real news site, well you should find a good host too.

Dont take this the wrong way but when I open a shard website with pop-ups I just skip it and go to the next shard. Because its my opinion that if the shard cant take the time to establish a web site without pop ups they are most likely not going to have a shard that will last. (and yes I know I can be proven wrong here but the majority rules)
