I am getting swarmed with pop ups?

I used to almost never get pop up adds here and now I am getting swarmed with them all over the place it is only at this site too! so is something up with the org or do I need to mess with my pop up blocker.

or do I need to mess with my pop up blocker.

I would try that first, mate. My IE6 browser with google pop-up stopper add-on seem to be killing more than usual lately. They seem to come in waves sometimes.

I had noticed them too, especially in my early days on here. Of course, I was finally persuaded to switch over to Firefox, and rarely have trouble with them coming up while I'm on the forum...

One thing though, somewhat related...

I have noticed, while playing certain games in the arcade, popups come frequently, and it becomes more than an annoyance; the game gets ruined and would be high scores become 4th place.

You're making those who never get close to top 3 sound bad. How is 4th place 'only' a disappointment?

I have high standards man! I need to keep at least 5 top arcade scores! It's hard enough keeping them with those predator score stealers (aka more skilled players) out there! When a popup helps them, Gah! And this has happened twice! Both were great games that became 4th place!
