    I'm outraged!!!

    why were all those banners added?? is it so more people will pay money to get premium UCP. I liked how UCP wasn't all full of all that WINNER WINNER WINNER you've won a trip to disney world, all those you have a chat message waiting, they've just popped up this afternoon. why were they added.

    oh yeah BTW, why when everytime I come on it says ive visited 1 hour ago. even if I just logged on after going to sleep or coming home from work? can this be explained?

    First...Why do you care about the "you last visited..." thing? Does it really affect your visit?

    Second...Wouter had a choice. He was going to have to add the banners anyway to keep the site running. So, he chose to do that and then offer people the chance to avoid them. He didn't add the banners JUST to get people to sign up. Like it has been said before. Wouter just makes enough to cover the costs of keeping the site up. That's all.

    Third...you get outraged easily. You should look into some meds for that.

    It's not too big or intrusive.

    Get an ad-stopper - adviseable for 90% of the internet now if you don't want to be annoyed by all the extra 'benefits" that web sites offer !!!

    Karrmann, you are obviously a child.
    You are obviously a retarded child.
    Go see the school nurse.

    agreed

    and the only pop up I get is the one on the main screen. Just close it no big deal.

    They aren't huge adverts, and if they are particularly annoying:
    "Remove object" *click*
    Thanks for all the fish

    I don't even get an ad on each page of that site Karrmann. It's like every 3 pages. Sure, there are banners. Nearly every single site on the internet has those. But, I didn't even get 1 popup with each page.

    Nope.

    Karrmann, do you have spyware or malware that is creating more popups for you?
