I am the only one who's been getting popups on GB? I thought that after GB joined flashlink they were removed. I don't really mind them, I'm just kind of suspicious since I read no announcement and there seems to be quite a lot of popups (as opposed to pre-flashling GB).
If I'm the only one getting popups I should check out some anti-spy/addaware programs..

I got a few pop-ups aswell. A bit annoying, if you ask me. I can and will cope with it, but I have always been opposed to pop ups. But if Buck needs the help from more sponsors, Ill gladly swallow my pride and deal with it.

ok, so the problem isn't on my side.. Now we just have to wait for buck to post an explanation.
As I said, pop-ups never bothered me, I was just surprised that I got them after such a long non-popup period.

I got a pop up the two first times I clicked on anything in GB, then nothing...... I 2 can cope with pop ups as long as they don't come up with every click I make, then it gets ennoying......

Get Opera 7 - it removes all popups that you don't directly request by clicking a link

And that's where I'm currently at. I have to say though that if the formatting hadn't been that bad, I'd stayed with Opera as I found it much more to me needs than IE 6...

Buck just updated the homepage. We're no longer members of flashlink, and he is relying on advertising money for the present.

Sorry about the popups today =\. As you can read in this thread, I've decided to drop Flashlink as our third party solution for subscription revenue. In the interim, I've been experimenting with some popups integrated with some new rotation code. This code will allow me to show popups on particular frequencies - time limits, pageviews, etc.
By the end of March, I should have a good solid solution for revenue implemented into GameBanshee. However, part of this solution does include adding more advertisements to the site. Unfortunately, the only ads that bring in decent revenue at all anymore are popups, so I have no choice but to use them.

Some rather questionable pop-ups happened to show up today for me. I'm wondering if something nasty found it's way into the pop-up list, or if it was something missed, but it was definatly not for younger members.

Thanks for clearing it up @ Buck. I support anything that would keep this site running, and I'm pretty sure that 99% of the GB community feels the same way. I just hope you don't have to pay out of your own pocket to keep this site up.
@Aegis, I didn't get any questionable pop-ups. Nothing overly obvious, anyway - I didn't look at them too closely, but I didn't really notice anything inappropriate at first glance.
@all, if you have pop-up killers, put GB on the white-list (if such a feature is available), and wait for the popups to load.. AFAIK, advertisers don't pay unless the popup has loaded...
