Marshalus Veteran Posted July 15, 2008 Veteran Share Posted July 15, 2008 If you have been getting full page, pop up, flash ads, etc, on the site we apologize. These are not intentional and we're working to stop them. Our ads are managed by a third party company, we will be in contact with them to figure out why this is happening and stop them.

Steven P. Administrators Posted July 15, 2008 Administrators Share Posted July 15, 2008 Mail I sent today: Hi Jennifer,Our members and staff are complaining about a new ad that is appearing on Neowin?s pages, it is a ?pop-up? full page flash ad that shrinks to the size I am sending you now (see attached pictures). We never agreed to such an ad-campaign and all it?s going to do, is cause our members to add Neowin to their ?blacklist? because we have stated time and time again that we won?t ever do such ad?s on Neowin. We only use Netshelter and VibrantMedia, and since Vibrant is just text links I have to assume these are coming from Netshelter. What?s the deal?

+Mystic MVC Posted July 15, 2008 MVC Share Posted July 15, 2008 That was solved before I could even get any of them. That's the quality I have grown to learn and love from Neowin. Great job guys! I still think those are the most annoying ads ever though, whoever thought of them must be some kind of evil. :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/649173-full-page-pop-up-flash-ads-etc/#findComment-589558541 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewJW Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Cheers, although it never hit me, I am grateful to see the admin have it sorted quickly.

Nice try, I hope you read Marshalus's and my posts carefully, then you'd understand that this incident was out of our hands and was dealt with quickly (by me).

roadgeek9 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Their name was Jen, I would be careful. I don't trust anybody named Jen (for reasons that nobody knows).

Antaris Veteran Posted July 16, 2008 Veteran Share Posted July 16, 2008 Should they forewarn you of changes to their advertising mechanisms up front?

shockz Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Sounds like a contradiction with https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=389495 ? Fail. Thats about blocking our ads... this is about making sure the ads we serve aren't intrusive.
