IGN fucking sucks...

But hey who wants to use Firefox to browse Polycount anyway!

No I'd rather sit there and stare at a stupid flash ad for X-Games and a Car

Edit: Ah I blocked it out but the statement still stands!

[killingpeople]

what?

[Seyiji]

Any one else who wants to block it add this to your popup/adblocker
http://ads.gamespyid.com/ad.aspx?S=plane...Falt%5F1x1%2Ejs (http://ads.gamespyid.com/ad.aspx?S=planetquake&A1=HOSTED&G1=ACTION&T=3&A2=0 &A3=PRESTITIAL&alt=http%3A%2F%2Fadcontent%2Egamesp y%2Ecom%2Fprestitial%2FdisabledAds%5Falt%5F1x1%2Ej s)

@killingpeople: I'm just ranting about a flash ad that popped up and made it so I couldn't see the front page of polycount.com since it took up most of the center screen (even at 1024 x 768 resolution) so I couldn't read the news.

I haven't had a pop-up since using Firefox... although the actual ads @ IGN.com are annoying, as they're party of the page layouts and don't actually pop-up.

regarding the ads within the page, if you are using FireFox be sure to check the Adblock (http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/#adblock) extension, helps zap those pesky ads within pages, just right click on what you dont want to see, choose addblock, and it's gone. Works with wildcards (block a whole domain like ads.com or something) block whole Iframes or even flash ads! I love it...

I discovered that, of all things, the Viewpoint plug-in has a pop-up blocker. Puts em all in a bin, and you can trash em with one click. Site prefs, too. It also has an annoying me-too search function, but...

I already have ADBlock and I managed to block it out two minutes after I just needed to restart the browser for it to take effect.

It would be nice if they actually had a close button on the ad but no the desguised one that looked like an x but actually lauched another window to the site.

By the way what the hell is up with the 404 page going to IGN instead of a Gamespy server?

I know about the merger.

I didn't know IGN took over the servers as well.
