 | View Full Version : Gator sued over pop-up ads mantra 06-28-2002, 01:38 PM I hate Gator. There ads are so annoying. They pop under from anywhere. NNHost 06-28-2002, 01:42 PM yay its about blood*y time huh? Gator allways get me somehow,, with the stupid adds.. bambenek 06-28-2002, 02:34 PM I've been pondering writing an RFC to deprecate pop-up ads... I think that Gator just might burn. fatman 06-29-2002, 08:44 AM Originally posted by Hiccups Who should win? (duh) Well, I don't know who *should* win, but as a webmaster who is a potential victim of all these pop-ups being displayed when people are viewing my site, I know whose side I'm on! :) diederik 06-29-2002, 08:47 AM I hate Gator :angry: :angry: :angry: They should ban it :) NNHost 06-29-2002, 08:48 AM yes. Aymo 06-29-2002, 10:50 AM I hate gator with a passion - never been to a zoo ever since lol. RRolfe 06-29-2002, 10:55 AM I think gator is in the wrong and deserves to be sued. Putting ads ontop of another site that you dont own is just wrong. My friend had a problem with his computer, when he went to my hosting page he noticed that every time the word hosting came up on my site it was highlighted in yellow and linked to a diffrent hosting company. Come to find out later that some how a piece of software got installed on his computer that was doing this... Still we have no idea how this software got there. avara 06-29-2002, 10:59 AM The way they operate just doesn't seem ethical. :angry: Hiccups 06-29-2002, 01:17 PM Originally posted by whw I think gator is in the wrong and deserves to be sued.

Bundled with some other software downloaded probably. See: http://scumware.com/ :angry: code_renegade 06-29-2002, 01:35 PM I agree - real unethical business model. Hope they get their pants burnt off :D On a side note, I once downloaded the gator software on my old computer to help me with form filling, but it was so lousy, works on rare occasions and basically messes up my system with those ads so much that I deleted it. Of course, I never did put an CC info on it, since it is real unsafe to store your CC number electronically...
