Well, do you? I think as long as you only have one or two, then they can be ok (but they still bug me).

to me they are always bad. I hate pop ups and even pop under. I hate ads in general. I hate to close them one by one everytime it pops up and I hate the ones that open full screen and I have to press CTRL F4 to close.

I hate all kinds of adds, they disturb me...When there's a nice tasteful and not very big add on a site then ok, but popups and popunders are really annoying..
Especially I hate that kind of stuff which pops up and asks if i want to download something, if i say 'yes', then it says that I must clock yes to view site.. this thing has occured to me here, at trap17 too...

I hate pop ups and pop unders. I hate pop unders the most. Image and text links are fine, as long as they don't clutter the webpage. The webmaster's gotta get some money somehow right.....?

Essentailly, any pops that are generated from your site will drive away visitors, so always go to the small textual ads if you ever display ads on your site. I think ads all together are bad, as they derive from the content of the website.

I also hate popups when im trying to do find something out on the internet especially on my nans 56k internet connection from her pc the popups just slow her pc down so it take more time to do find something which should only take like 5 minutes take somthing like 10 - 15 minutes because of popups. it gets on my nerves so i instaleld mozilla firefox on my nans instead so i dont have to use microsoft internet explorer because it is so crummy. on my pc i have mozilla firefox as my web browzer and i ahve popup stopper running so if one doesnt stop them the other will ;) :P

I also really do not like popups. I really hate the ones that flash different colors. Its painful to the eyes... I also dont like any with noise. It can really get annoying, especially if you keep getting the same popup. But thanks to a popup blocker I dont see very many popups.
