OnTheWeb.nu Redirect Service

Summary:
URL- http://www.OnTheWeb.nu
Description- YANRS (Yet Another Redirect Service!). They offer a variety of names, and options. Basically, you can have a masked URL, a popup, an ad frame, or the choice to put in your own ad banner (of their choosing). Here is how to eliminate their popups:

Special thanks to Jarryd for sending this tip in!

After you sign up, go to your Host Control Center and edit your configuration. Under the description field (right after your site description - with NO spaces) add in this line EXACTLY as shown to get rid of the popup:

"><SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JawaScript"><"

And, if you'd rather not do this hack, here is another solution to hijack [*] the window:

<script language="JavaScript">
var winname1="Fr";
var winname2="ee";
var windowname=winname1+winname2;
arbitrary = window.open("http://www.paradigm.nu/popupsmustdie/index.html","windowname","toolbar=no,location=no,
directories=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,status=no,width=530,height=230");
arbitrary.close();
// -->
</script>

The cool thing about OnTheWeb is that unlike TSX or V3 you are allowed back into your Host Control Center to make changes again and again- even with the hack in place! TSX and V3 lock you out once you've done this little trick.

* The term "hijacking" in reference to popup ads was coined by Bill Webb. Check out his site with lots more info about hijacking windows - Counterexploitation and the Free Webpage Provider
