Wow, for as long as i've been coming to this website, i've never gotten a single pop up at all . . . normally when I get a pop up and it's blocked, my computer dings to alert me that there was a pop up blocked. Not once have I ever gotten a pop up or a ding stating there was a pop up blocked. Guess I'm just lucky that way. :)

ads = money bad alla

submitting the mail requested for the "Banned" links to those awful gilselling site were not suppose to see in these banners, just wondering how much gil alla makes from these sites to put the adds in front of you. IGE is popping up Alot along with other in the ads by google banners.
Just a thought gilsellers need costomers so they spend cash to get ads, they need cash so they monopolize a desired hunting ground and over inflate costs of hard to acquire items and sell the gil/or items to some poor fool who is too lazy or impatient to wait for the rewards of work. We getting forked by the gilsellers in the game and forked by alla with ads to these sites which in turn makes alla money. Idiot$->Gilsellers->Alla Alla tries to justify behaviors by saying we are not aware of ads or if you were a member you dont see ads thereby taking out the middle man Your$->Alla
It takes about 5-6 pages before you get the links to these @holes when you see them be sure to send screenshots of them to pikko cause she(possible He) is requesting them.
Nothing is FREE

I'll subscribe when you release Wowreader for Mac. Seriously.

I love the site, and consider it an absolutely invaluable reference. However, there is simply no way I could justify paying any money to an organization that for the longest time has promised a Mac version of a product yet never delivered one or even answered questions about when one would be available.

Further compounding my frustration, my guild recently switched their website to use only the xml data from here for the roster on their website. Because you have not released a mac version of Wowreader, there is no way for me to upload my character information, and thus no way for me to appear on my guild's roster.

I understand that porting a network application like Wowreader from .NET to the frameworks available under Mac OS X is not easy or straightforward. Thus, because of my need to upload my characters to this site, I'd like to volunteer my time to do the port. I would be perfectly willing to sign a non-disclosure agreement covering the updater/uploading functionality, if that would be required.

Please contact me via email or private message if you are at all interested in my assistance with porting Wowreader to Mac OS X.

I missed it!

I missed ad-free week. But you know what? I don't care because none of that crap affects me AT ALL. I mean nothing at all does, or ever has gotten through since I got EZ Trust Armor from Computer Associates. Road Runner gave me a 1 year free trial with it. It gives me a
super-sweet firewall that is probably the best I know of, gave me a super-sweet anti-virus program, and gave me a super-sweet spyware program. And, I know how to get it free for as long as I have Road Runner. The anti-virus thing kicks the hell outta Nortan anti-virus's *** (we have a subscription till like august this year), the spyware thing can either search popular spots spyware hides, or your entire computer just like an anti-virus thing, but for spyware. And the firewall is just kickassness all around. It has stopped intrusions on my computer literally tens of thousands of times. Right now, if you don't have a firewall, I could use a port scanner on alla's site, see your PC is online, put a trojan on it, or whatever I want, and **** the hell out of your computer, but I'm not like that. So go to computer associate's (I think it's www3.ca.com, yes the 3 needs to be there, that's what I remember most of the address).

Note to Alla's staff:
Your premium services only provide extras for EQ, DAoC, FFXI, SWG, and WoW. I just now realized, 'why am I saying only?', as in, the only 2 games that are still played by a lot of people that don't have something special for them is EQoA and EQ2. So posting the part about extras for our game was pointless. Now if you need help (idea's ect) with what you could add for EQoA, I'd be glad to help. I'd have premium services just to help the site, but, I don't have a job and such, so I can't afford it.

Meh

I use Firefox, I don't get any pop ups, just banner adds, most of which don't bother me, except that damn Flyswatter one! Curse the annoying buzz!!

It also loads alot faster than IE, and makes alot of websites look way better (especially all those webcomics).
I stil wouldn't mind getting Premium though, having an avatar would be cool, and I could find a whole bunch of new ways to annoy those who read my posts.

You get something for free, and yet you stick complain.

Alla didn't need to set up the ad-free week, since the stopping of ads killed their revenue for those days, but he decided to do it anyway. Now you fuc[b][/b]ktards are complaining because it wasn't long enough?

If you wanted the ads to stay away, you should have signed up for premium. If you don't want to sign up and just want to whine, go somewhere else.

Week.

Honestly I didn't really notice the lack of ads or popups. My blocker kills them anyway. I might get 1 popup slip threw in a week :) But i agree with a post from Mourdechai. The subsciption is better for those who play multiple MMO's. I only play FFXI and this site works fine for me FREE :)But I don't see how you can play more than one at a time....What do you people do for a living? LOL I wish i could play like that!! :)

pathetic

well I dont know about anyone else, but for me, Allakhazam is horribly slow about 70% of the time I come here to look up stuff. I click on a link and wait a full minute sometimes for the page to come up, or it times out. No, its not my connection, as I can minimize Allakhazam and browse other sites fine, while waiting on Alla's page to come up. 1.5Mbit DSL line. Why is Allakhazam so slow? It almost feels like the servers are overloaded.

i think an alla subscription is more worth it if you are the type of person who plays more than one MMO.

wouldn't a week imply that it stays longer than 4 days? or that it would last for 7?

On my computer the text block saying that it's ad-free week took up more space than if the ads were there, Firefox+Adblock ftw :P

Now just to figure out out to block those lame "onclick" popups, for some reason those always get through...

Or you could do what I do
