Matt - the Suitcase HAS to go!

“and get it off the board! Everytime I click on a diff thhread it pops up. What a pain in the a$$.”

“Let him make his coin.”

“but oh well...”

“Hold on. It will run for today and the next two Monday's only. That's just a total of three days, so everybody just chill for a bit.”

“Ya I finally got it once, now I get it on every click !!”

“So do I!!!!!!!

(best Alvin the chipmunk voice...) Ohhhh-KAY!!!”

“amen”

“Matt you may want to warn us for next week”

“I don't like it either but I can put up with it for the rest of today and the next 2 Mondays, I hope.”

“just when I thought I was in the clear.. BAM! suitcase. what an annoying pain in the @ss! And it just sits there for a few seconds before you can close it”

“You want to make a difference?

Email Travelocity.com (and those who still use ads like that one)and tell THEM how much you hate the ad and how it hampers your enjoyment of the sites they advertise on. CC the webmasters too.”

“if it bothers you all download a new version of netscape or IE and select the custom installation. I know in the netscape installation I was able to not select flash player. I have no more problems if I view this site with my new version of netscape. No suitcase!!!”

“for other, work-related stuff. I can't choose to NOT install it.

I, personally, would rather have a subscription fee of X$ rather than see the pop-ups.

But I'm also the kind of individual that gets pi$$ed whenever I go to a movie & have to sit through advertisements there. I wish they'd raise the price of a movie by a buck & not subject me to that crap either.”

“I use flash, but installed an extra copy of netscape just for this site. This add is pretty anoying, I have to agree!”

“I was going to comment about low tolerance but this thing has gone nuts! I thought it was only supposed to display once a day. It comes up on almost every new page. They owe you a ton of money matt.”

“Actually, you don't have to wait to close it. The close button is light grey and a few inches from the ad. I didn't notice it myself until just a couple minutes ago.”

“Good suggestion.
I have done that.
Thanks.”

“yeah, the more you close it, the more often it pops up. At least it seams like it.
I got rid of it, so I will be using another browser every monday for the next 3 weeks.”

“still haven't seen it?????? what are you guys talking about”

“I really like the suitcase, it kinda flies right outta nowhere and lingers. Its almost as though it can anticipate my every move.”

“Great, the suitcase just landed on Matt's response.

"..it will run for today and the next two Monday's only."- Matt

Didn't some girl shoot some people (students, I think), a few years ago because she hated Mondays?”

“Hey Matt I have only see it once and that was while I was loafing at work.

You rock man, great site.”

“Hmmm..I wonder if this is an Earthlink Ploy to go with them because they have Pop-up Blocker...

They are paying Matt to drive us over the edge!”

“dagnab suitcase! Geez, now I REALLY want to give Travelocity a try!”

“Actually Travelocity is my favorite way to shop for airfare...”

“Matt does a great job running the site and listen to you all griping at the way he's making his money. At least we don't have to pay to have fun on TT. 3 days isn't bad, let it pop up for its second and then close it.”

“Mine's got some customs officials searching it...”

“C'mon guys, Matt's gotta pay the bills dammit! It's a small price for us to pay, seeing as it's free for us.”

“Alright, I take it back. That suitcase really f-ing sucks. It appears EVERY time I go to a page on TT. I'm boycotting Travelocity for now on. I'm not joking.”

“Hee hee, looks like someone popped a vein.

It's alright now...the flying suitcase is gone.”

“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.”

“Encore, suitcase!”

“$”

“Why don't you lock yourself in it and see if you can get through customs without a cavity search...”
