contacted all the companies that were advertising on MCS and informed them of our distaste of both pop up and overlays.
Please let me know if you happen to see any. Including the url would be awesome. This last time it was a third party that was contracted with another party that was serving ads for my ad network, so it was really more like a fourth party, but whatever.

tl;dr:
They should be gone now.

Well count me as one sad Tiki, apparently the bullshit is still happening. So, I removed AdBrite from the site. Let me know if::
1 – you see any adbrite ads
or
2 – you see any more pop ups or overlays.

Pause for a moment for a sponsor!

    Just got one. Funny thing is, it looked like the mobile layout of the website had loaded on my desktop. Took a screen cap of the overlay, went to right-click the image for the URL, and the overlay disappeared. Where should I send the screen cap?

    I just threw M[C]S into IE, and I got a pop-up bar warning. I turned off pop-up blocker but nothing appeared. Some weird shit. Clicked this page (in IE) and the page switched to [horribly bad link removed]

    WTF mate?

    And did you know that IE will block third-party cookies?

    It is 1:30AM Eastern.
    I click on my MCS bookmark, page loads.
    If I then click anywhere on that page, the tribalfusion pop up pops up.
    a.tribalfusion.com/p.media/aVmNJHSGJZa563JodetTtQ9XbQaXUZbjXaisRbBBUbB0VH3XmUJxPUjmXEUp5Eja4q3QnEBA1rZbcWtFWmAfZcpVMmmWnE2qv75dZaN4mvLmbbZc0GvT1VMV0VbxnavU5U3RVrjHW6jTPqb1ScUMQdUO1WbpTmfm2GQW0bUDVpmBb4F98P/3027726/pop.html

    Get rid of that, continue reading.
    I read this thread and click on comments, and read them.
    I scroll back up to click NSFW and when I do, there’s the fucking bane of my MCS existence, again.
    You see it here, with the heading of Tiki’s pop up thread. There has never been a url for the Lexus ad.
    imageleech.net/details.php?image_id=6322

    I try to backspace but the ad prevents that.
    You have to click out and start all over.

    Wish I had better news to report.

    Yes, Lexus is still active in ruining this site. As of 11:00 PM Tuesday night Lexus is still in the house. I saw it. It wouldn’t be so bad but the skip ad button does not work and probably opened me up to a whole slew of virus and bacterium had I not already been inoculated.

    Just got one for Irish Spring Deep Scrub something-something.

    And on the latest version of FF, I can back-click out of it, but I can’t close it.

    I dunno Tiki. Through all of this bitching about pop-ups and ads that won’t go away I have never had a single bit of it. FF w/Adblock Plus ftw

    The Lexus ad is still there, with a non-functional “skip ad” link and no close button. What a pain in the arse.
