Joetec.net Sucks
It does. Every so often I'm trying to do something, load a page or anything, this Joetec.net gets in the way and totally jams everything. It takes many seconds to get it done with and continue to the page I try to go.

No it even gets in between loading pages in Apolyton. Doesn't have to be external link even.

"skip" works very fine by me. But indeed, joetec.net is an annoyance. I often copy the link directly in my adress bar and delete the apolyton part of it, insteand of bothering getting joetec again.

That is how I handle it as well. Much faster than waiting on Joe

I hate it as well.
However, I guess that it pay's Poly's bills, something which I've never directly contributed a cent towards  
(Though I would be willing to shell out, say, $25 Australian a year if it meant that I could enjoy 'Poly without joetec and the almost ceaseless smiley pop-ups)

You'd think if Joetek wants us to view their ads they'd at least make them load fast.
