RANT: Those BEEPing popup ads!
So I show up at this site after a long abscence, on a mission to find some Blueprints, and post my creations, when I first get BOMBED by popup ads! Then, about three or four programs want to install themselves. Do you want to install the Widdleydiddeley Search bar that arbitrarily helps you search better than Google while really hijacking your browser so your start page is their popup ad website that constantly places thousands of cookies that monitor every byte on your computer and sends it to them so they can blast you with more ads? Then, I go to type in a reply to a post I made and in the middle of my typing my browser the browser suddenly gets very small and loads a popup ad. I think, what the bejesus? The ad just hijacked my browser! I hit back, and then another flurry of fake search bars want to install. I don't want another bar on IE, BEEPit! I have enough already! No, No, No, No, No! X, X, X, X, X, X, I kill all four thousand concurrent popups! Then, I fire up the Yahoo bar's pop-up blocker. Well, good riddance to the popups, but then, IE gets very small again! Fourty-two rude words later, I finally back up to where I was before the hijacking episode. :x I hate popups!

Has anyone else had the brower hijacking episode, where the popup doesn't pop up, but steals the window that is currently open?
