There are also referrals in the software section whenever you buy, that could come to a fair amount.

I have to admit, this is a great site, a great deal of care went in it, my hats off for you guys at afterdawn!

Thank you AD for removing them. Never liked the pop ups and they were some of the hardest to keep from coming up.

Great to hear that the pops are gone :) I personally have bot noticed it because of my firewall blockin everything on websites that are anoying, but i do understand that ads help pay for the sites costs.

But its good to see the improvements of this site still goin.

Thanks to Petteri for all you have done. Yes, I too hated the popunders, but knew how it benefited the site and was tolerant and understanding. I hope that AD can and will survive and flourish in the future. Words cannot express my feelings of gratitude and thanks for all the knowledge I've gained from AD.

I really hated the pop unders as well but I really wouldn't mind them if AD needed the revenue. I'd rather have an AD site with a few pop unders than no AD site at all.

Been using FireFox for so long that I forgot about them... ;-)

Thanks for removing.

Well I still used to get them. Not any more though, cheers!

hmm. i never noticed these ads. maybe cause FireFox blocks them so good. Anyway it doesnt bother me because i'm young and got a little extra time on my hands. haha

I can deal with popups if it meant keeping afterdawn going. So do what you have to do for funding this great site.

Thanks Afterdawn

Thats impressive, the number of members they have, and the changes they've made to accomodate them. That's great, like the kellogs frosty the tiger, which is actually on cocaine, that's why he's always happy, well, that's pure speculation... lol

You mean to say he might not be? Oh, shame!

Well, of course ads are always hated, but the pop-under wasn't that much of an adherense, moreso of a slight annoyance. I didn't know that aD limited the amount to just one pop-under, if I did, then maybe I would've kept it open. :D

N-e-way, it's cool that you would keep the users happy in exchange for that. That was thoughtful of you guys at aD. Also, do those static ads still count if ads are fully removed, like I have it with the AdblockPlus/Filterset.G combo? I don't even see the top banner link to the home page! ;)

Unfortunately, no. So, if you block the static ads, such as our banners, we wont receive any income from those ads.

As some of you might have realized, we haven't had even a single ad on our site's main front page (same goes for forums' main front page) since late 2002 -- again, to make the site more welcoming to new users and people who prefer to keep our site as their browser's default home page.

Never even noticed any pops, so what you never see you will not miss.... Tks

I can't believe all the butt-heads that have written in. Not one person has OFFERED TO DONATE ANY MONEY to help this wonderful sight out.

Moderator: Please let me know where I can send a donation in. I'am disabled and live on Social Security, I can't send much, but it's better than the rest of the deadbeats that leach off this wonderful sight for nothing.

Thanks, I just want to do what's right.

Actually, as weird as it might sound, in Finland -- where AfterDawn Ltd is based -- it is illegal for individuals and companies to accept donations. Only organizations that have registered as non-profit are allowed to accept donations and as our website is owned by a for-profit company, donations are out of question.

Therefor, only and best way to help us out is to view pages with ads, buy stuff from companies who advertise on our site -- and of course, to promote our site to other people via word-of-mouth, via your personal homepage, via other discussion forums, etc.

@buckeye73

Mate just a friendly reminder that we can not post our emails in our posts. Against forum rules. :)

Sorry I forgot. Maybe moderator will remove it. Meems funny they don't allow donations though. Well... it was a nice thought anyway.

Am a FireFox user so i never even noticed them, but fair played to ya,s! Excellent site.

Thanks to all you guys (who most of us don't know or have never heard their mention) who keep this a great site, and I certainly appreciate all the help over the years. If the pop ups are needed, then let them come as we need to show our appreciation for your efforts. I would be first in line for a donation or fee, but understand the legals rammifications. Thanks once again from Stan in the USA !!!!

buckeye,you can edit your posts, maybe you should get to no the site a little better befor posting.(read forum rules)
your thread is off subject.and you posted your e-mail.

Also, Thats my tax dollers your trying to give away,(so dont call us dead beats! (wasent for us and the goverment you would be a bum.) Most normal people have to work for a living.6-7 dollers an hour.

And everyone donates what they know thats what makes this website what it is. this website is teaching and learning

Should of kept the pop-ups then just maybe afterdawn could afford to make some new wallpaper backgrounds.(Im sick of the same old 3)also some afterdawn PSP wallpapers would be nice.

sorry if i sound rude,didnt mean it like that

So we're not butt heads then?
Actually, truth be known I didn't know about that either. What of paypal with connection to all this?
NINVIN21: Stern but true.

Like dRD said, if you want to help the site then buy your supplies or other products through the advetising links found here. I've bought media through supermediastore.com to do my part :)



Hey Boss,

If http://newegg.com advertised here we could get a ton of folks to buy through that link.

---

The number of links that have appeared, particularly in this section, involving newegg is uncountable, they'd make a fortune.

Just to let you know, I allowed Adblock to allow static ads for this site now. Just a minor inconvinience, but well worth keeping this site up. :)

I also didn't know of the links to newegg.com. If I ever shop there, I'll be sure to use the links from here. ;)
