Hey, there’s an idea I never thought of. I know that subprofile uses MASSIVE amounts of popup ads, so if anyone goes to sign your guestbooks or leave a note in your profile, they will get swamped. I hate it when people have links in their profiles that flood my computer with popup junk. Thanks for the idea.
I’ve read over this thread a million times, and the only thing that worked for me was blocking the addresses that Squid listed:
ads.aol.com
ar.atwola.com
VTOT.proxy.aol.com
ads.web.aol.com
As soon as I did that, BAM no more ads. It had nothing to do with deadAIM – that only took away the visual, leaving only the audio piece of the ads (which was twice as annoying).
I was getting annoyed because every time I would sign on AIM, it would play ads 2-3 times IN A ROW, then repeat every 30 minutes or so. That’s really annoying when you’re listening to winamp -_-
