How many freakin times is this going to pop up? In the last two days, I've gotten it 30 times.

NO I DON'T WANT TO FUCKING INSTALL SOFTWARE I DONT KNOW FROM A COMPANY I DONT KNOW!

These are the lowest of the low pop-ups. There is no ad, no explanation, just an attempt to install software on your comp. And then it pops up 30 times, hoping eventually you'll accidentally click yes.

I wish NG would crack down on some of these bad ads.

Just to let you kow, these ads pay for NG.
If they didn't put them up, we would have a place to post stuff like this.
Who cares if it pops up again, and again and again.........
It's what is keeping the site free :)

I DON'T WANNA SOUND GAY OR NUTHIN', BUT THAT SHIT IS HOT!!

newgrounds is pretty safe if you just get a pop-up blocker. Ad's are the sign of a new age, pop-up ads will not go away

Yeah, I mean I have an idea how much it costs to run this site.

But supporting spyware and other shit?
Is that really needed?

Porn? Sure, we choose not to click those damned banners.

But those dirty popups trying to install all kind of shit on my computer... no way. If I make one mistake, once... My harddrive would be loaded with crap.

So please, get them off the site!

Well, maybe not a 100 bucks...

But, why not add some kind of VIP-membership.

One that gives you some cute icon and maybe a couple of experience points and thats it.

Set it round 15 - 20 bucks a year, a small amount that could regenerate income anyways.

If that is enough to get rid of the spyware/adware ads, then I am at least willing to pay.
