I swear to god, if neatorama doesn't get rid of that opening pop-up, I'm getting adblock.
I didn't even know we had those. Once you register an account and log in, the ads disappear. Or you could get AdBlock, but registering is easier.
You have a pop-up that blocks the entire opening page of neatorama and you didn't know it?!?!
Joining doesn't help a damn bit, that just means you have to get by the pop-up to log in... or never clear your cookies. Fuck that.
No, I didn't know it ..I have nothing to do with advertising, and I'm always logged in.
Yeah, I believe you. Like the store owner who always comes and goes by the back door, so doesn't know the sign out front is falling down.
I'm not the owner. Just an employees who goes in the back door.
