As for pop-ups, well, they're the price I pay for getting a free forum, but I'll take a look at how much it costs to remove them, od ree if I can get a free forum that's as easy to use. I didn't mind when it was just banner ads, but you're right, itis getting OTT.
Voy do a free forum, with no pop-ups. And its VERY simple to use! (www.voy.com)
