Ok, so how about this for a solution -- reward the most frequent posters (the people who really make this board) with less pop-ups, and make it known that once you hit a certain status they'll start going away. T hat will keep the majority of the popups coming up for the people who mainly read (like me), get people like me to start posting, and keep the people who really make these boards worthwhile happy. On the CP side, hopefully that works out and they can make some $$$.
