While over my friends house I was trying to explain 'free sites' to him and went to greenguys linkorama site.
When I went to click on any listing he nearly slapped the mouse out of my hand saying "NO...I'll have all sorts of shit on my computer from those sites!".
I wonder how many people avoid web porn due to early experiences of multiple pop-up of chromless windows full screen, redirections, and even scumware.
Didn't matter how much I explained to him that some quality link lists are very strict he wanted me to avoid bringing up any porn site on his system.
Even while signig up with a sponsor and previewing a site I got hit with 3 pop-under's.
That just messes it up for the industry as a whole- in my newbie opinion.
