Holy Crap an ad just whizzed across my s creen

“What's up with that? Have those animated ads been on this site for long? Maybe my Pop-up Stopper has been filtering them out, but today is the first one I've seen. Ugh, this just will not do! Signs, signs, everywhere a sign...”

“Was it a flying suitcase?”

“Check out the "ENOUGH, ALREADY!!!" thread. It is the price of admission.”

“Yes, it was a suitcase!”

“Yes, it was a suitcase!”

“Did I mention, yes, it was a suitcase?”

“Was it a suitcase?”

“someone say free lunch?”

“free lunch”

“yummmmmmmmmmmmm free lunch. AW, you guys know the way to my heart :)”

“FREE LUNCH! HES INNOCENT!”

“Pass the liver please :)”

“The flying suitcase is free lunch???”

“Dang it, there it went again!! And Pop-up Stopper was on this time!!!”

“MFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMF!!!
It did it two more times in a matter of 10 seconds!!! Grrrrrrrr!”

“A flying suitcase whizzing. What will those crazy Americans think up next???”

“shoot if this is the price for free then I don't know. No one is going to click on this darn banner. I saw this thing today at least 15 times, maybe even more. I know I counted 7 times just in the last 3minutes. I know it wasn't on that much earlier today.

Matt, we promise, we will click once a day on all the other banners, but please remove this darn suitcase. Right everyone?”

“YEA
what the naked german said!”

“ey 2scoops!!! cut it out!”

“yeah, it's just gone a little crazy on me too”

“im gonna be seein that stupid suitcase in my sleep”

“lets just all click on one of his other banners. Maybe that makes him happy! come on all, 1, 2, 3, go....”

“I'm not clicking anything until that suitcase is gone!!!”

“Somebody email me when it's safe to pull up TT!”

“Suitcase? What Suitcase?

HAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAhahhahahahahahah...!!”

“Now I'm seeing things like the rest of you nuts. Get that thing off my screen!”

“I have pop up stopper and I don'e get that stuff.

8)”

“Mike, which one do you use? Can I download it for free somewhere?”

“##$%^$^%*%^$^%#^ god damn%&*%%&^
*^(*^*&%*&%&$$^$%^#^

get that &%&*%*&^ off my **(^^&
computer $$%*(@%*(@~$^&&# screen”

“I've had it come up four times now today.”

“Make it five, three in the last two minutes.”

“Everytime I go to a new thread or submit to a thread that thing comes up.

Eyeblaster is right!!!”

“Let Matt pay his bills.”

“I just installed Pop Up Stopper Free Version and it still appears.”

“Pop Up Stopper stops other pop ups, but not this one! See y'all when it goes away!”

“I hope the travelocity thing is bringing in big bucks... cuzz it's a huge pain in thebackpacker.com”

“can I spread some saurkraut on your naked german body???? I love naked german body...”

“Knock it off, stikky, I ain't that kinda guy...”

“boy, this whole #&%!$ started because I wrote "mude" instead of "mood" (was tired) 2scoops dirty mind visioned "nude"

No nude german sitting here, but then you'll never find out....”

“I find the 25 threads dedicated to the pop-ups infinity more annoying than the pop-up itself.

Look you whining selfish bastards, this site exist for one reason and one reason only, to make Matt money. This is his job. If you ran a restaurant where people liked to come, hang out and chat but no one bought any food . . .how long would you keep the restaurant open? This site doesn't exist so that you can come whine and vent for free. It exists so that Matt can pay his light bill, his mortgage, and buy skimpy lingerie for his hot wife.

So suck it up. Ungrateful bastards.”

“I could be wrong, but if matt were only in this for the money, I’m pretty sure this site would have died long ago.”

“are you kidding?

we amuse him, thats the only reason why this site is still here.”

“I think it's fine - the only time it was a problem was yesterday afternoon when it appeared every time I changed pages within the site. Few times a day is ok though if it helps pay the bills.”

“On the positive side, it did stop the Iraq threads for a while.”

“The nother day my hubsand Gissmo WIZZED ON MY LEG! AHAHAH!!

We was ridin in the truk and I sayed "I got to walk aroun and PEE REEL GOOD!" and Gissmo sayed "Yeah daddy I got to PEE REEL GOOD to!" so my daddy made the truk stop and opened the dore for me like a gennel man and I got 'out' and did not walk aroun verry much cuz I had to PEE REEL GOOD!

Any ways I was peein reeeeeel good and Gissmo sayed "I can not be a gennel man verry much cuz I got to PEE REEEEL GOOD!" and he did not wate for me to get all my peein done when he PEED ON MY LEG!! in sted of waitin like a gennel man.

It got me wet stinky hares on my leg and I sayed "You are verry welcom Gissmo cuz I am perty stinky now" and he sayed "you are verry welcom to."

When we was in the truk a gin my daddy sayed "Ewwwwww you are VERRY STINKY Sarabelle!" and me and Gissmo sayed "you are verry welcom!"
(o:3”

“When they come up with pop-up ads that whiz on your leg to get your attention, I'm throwing my computer away...”

“I dunno Lee... I think people have a right to complain... Matt might not even know what the ad did. If he wants to keep it, we have to suck it up and put up with it - but if it drives people away he has to figure out if its worth it to have it. I figure it would need to have a big impact on his revenues for it to be worth keeping.

On another note: I plan to check the prices at Latta Outdoors before buying any outdoor related book - if the price is better or at least very close, I'll get it from Latta.”

“FINE!!!! GOOD God man . . . stop being so rationale!!!




Besides . . . .this place is like cigarettes. Ain't nobody quitting, no how. If Matt thought he was gonna lose us, he'd just start a thread by some young, attractive newbie looking for a hiking partner.”

“...with pictures...”

“Do you think Matt trolls?

(I do)”
