Popups/Consoles on sponsor site... OK?

[uterpie]

Hi all, I'm pretty new at free sites, I've been doing galleries for a while though. On galleries, I use ONLY sponsor links with NO popups because that's what most TGPs want.

I've had a few people tell me that for free sites in general, you can actually use sponsors that have popups on their site. Is this true?

For instance Penisbot says "No pop up consoles ever" in their rules, but many of the listed free sites use sponsors with popups. This has me greatly confused. So does this mean that unless a free site says specifically "No sponsor popups" then sponsor popups are probably OK? I have some sponsors I would love to promote, but they have 1 exit popup.

I did a search of this board but did not find a thread that addressed this question specifically.

Thanks for any help.
