Tasia | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 09:19 pm     I joined the league but just had to unjoin it I created a special email address just for that site and even with pop up controls I ended up getting 32 pop-ups in a 20 minute time span, plus about 20 more that bypassed the controls. I also ended up with a forced download of Gator and YahooStock aka YSTCK32 spyware and adware. Considering the only 2 websites I even go to with this computer are here at TVCH and now the Mediiiawhore, I also received a ton of spam.The Mediiiawhore site was the only one who had my email address. It took me 20 minutes of battling through pop ups to even make my picks, and I decided although it would be fun to play, it just was not worth it. Just curious if anyone else had this problem? |
Caroline | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 10:56 pm     I just upgraded to AOL 9.0 and it lets you block pop-ups so I don't get a million a minute like I use to -- don't yet know if there are other advantages/disadvantages though. |
Halfunit | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 05:11 am     Tasia - I use a small program called NoAds, that lets me control which url addresses I want zapped. When I first went to Realiiity.com, it was a nightmare. I would leave the NoAds window open and just keep adding the popups to the list. Now, I might get one popup a week. Here is a link to the program: NoAds |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 06:48 am     Caroline, poke around 9.0; I think you'll find some cool stuff, especially in the spam control features in email. As for realiiity, I paid to have no popups three years ago and it was well worth it since I do enjoy the site and the games very much. |
Tasia | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 08:00 am     I'm using AOL 9.0 now, and have adaware and popup controls as well. I managed to get 32 pop ups blocked but because of how fast I was getting slammed with the ads, the download prompts and whatnot, I still ended up viewing about 20 popups and such that somehow got through. I will take a peek at the NoAds site later today and see if it may be worth my while. Thanks for the link. I was just thankful I had TVCH to run back home to, where it's all safe and cozy I swear I'll never run away again. I learned my lesson  |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 01:15 pm     I'm not sure if we can spoil here for this game, so I've posted what I think is the answer to one question on mediiiawhoer, over in the spoiler thread webmaster's favorite body part |
Halfunit | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 03:37 pm     Party Dopey wants to thank Alaginger, Seamonkey, and everyone else for all they are doing to help and inform the TVCH MediiiaWhore Team! YAY !!  |

Alaginger | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 07:44 am     I believe this is where we are posting any information about Loser Biiingo over at Realiiity.com. Scores are up for LB this morning...nobody got a blackout this time. There will be no picks this week for Loser Biiingo.....here's the reason: "Biiingo is closed this week. We are investigating a problem in coding that makes updating this game a hassel. It's still very operational, but we're taking this early week to attempt to make Biiingo better and more stable down the road, where it really matters. As we might close access to this game to fiddle with the coding, please enjoy your scores while you can. Massive apologies, but hopeful hope, Loser Biiingo" |
Tabbyking | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 11:26 am     well, alaginger, you did veryyyyyyy wellllll on all your games! and this way, you get to see your name at the top for another week i hope the bingo game doesn't totally malfunction as it did with TAR; i played it last survivor and it was a lot of fun. |
Cathie | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 02:13 pm     I'm late joining - better late than never (until my scores start dropping, lol)... my TVCH ID on MediaWhore is WonderGirl. |
Not1worry | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 02:47 pm     The Bingo game seems to be down right now. I had a hard time getting any of the pages to load. |
Alaginger | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 03:58 pm     Thanks Tabby......but you obviously didn't look at my puny score in the Scurvy Game or at MediaWhore. Not too well in either of those last week. |
