So uh, if there are pop unders are they going to be force coded down our throats?

As long as it doesn't start downloading fake virus scanners and credit card theft attempts to my PC like it used to, I don't care if Gelbooru's adverts link me to Dramatica's "Offended" article.

You know... unless Dramatica gives me a virus, which it may very well try to.

I hate pop unders. Not only do they tend to be cesspools of malware like Anti_Gendou said, but they often prevent me from using arrow keys to scroll which is easiest for me on my laptop. Not to mention the fact that they're a massive eyesore that doesn't go away. The last thing I want on this site is some penis-enhancement ad staring at me at all times while I'm trying to fap.

Honestly, pop unders shouldn't even be brought into consideration. The intermission ads are perfect, and I'd like to keep it that way.

intermission is perfect, pop unders won't stop me from coming here, but it's just gonna make me go "why is every website becoming worse nowadays, youtube profiles got screwed and now this", gelbooru is perfect the way it is including the ad system, if there needs to be updates like for the profiles and site, that's fine to me, but pop unders would suck.

Guys, i hope you know a popunder is nothing more then a window that pops under the main browser and you won't see it until you are done fapping and close gelbooru? It is not to be mistaken with a popup that goes over the browser or those annoying things that come from below the browser (inpage ad) or those ads that stick to the page and move when you scroll down.

A popunder is way less annoying and forcing then a 10 second intermission and will greatly improve revenue so there is more budget for gelbooru servers and upgrades in the future.

I didn't think it was going to improve revenue.

I thought Lozer was just shifting the method used to obtain more or less the same amount of revenue.

He made the mistake of not specifying that.

Yeah, lozer said that the popunders would greatly increase the amount of revenue we pull in.

I would still like more details on them before I'd support the change, though.

Scroll down to "Pop-under ads"

Not about pop-under ads in general, about the specific ones we'd be using.
