There will be no more popups and popunders used for the mp3 , bio , links and newsroom pages. Too many complaints.... If you encounter popunders on the main site they are coming from a few bravenet services such as the polls and the photo album I use. I have no control over those. Thanks for your input.

shame - popups rock! ;D they're the best way of making money that i've found. i know they're annoying,but websites cost money - more than most people realise. And i think its only fair than webmasters try and get back the money they have invested
if you want the best websites possible, with all the downloads, information etc, you have to put up with advertising. or eventually sites will be forced to become subscription-only (or be supported by voluntary donations, which is becoming very popular)
we all visit this site everyday, its always free, we use the site's expensive bandwidth. Yet none of us give a penny to the webmaster to help pay for it all! I don't think anyone should feel they have to contribute to the running of any website, but everyone should be tolerant to a small amount of advertising
so i'm in favor of popups!

thanks for your support, the popups might come back if the mp3 page gets "too" popular. The most damage gets done by people who hotlink to files without asking the webmasters. In my case I have fixed those situations. In the meantime I will try to offer a pop up free site as the other big 3 Oasis sites due. I think people will appreciate the effort , I hope ...
