[link\|http://www.x10.com/home/optout.cgi?DAY=30\|http://www.x10.com/...t.cgi?DAY=30]&PAGE=[link\|http://www.x10.com/x10ads1.htm\|http://www.x10.com/x10ads1.htm] is the link. Notice the DAY=30 bit? Change it to something appropriate, like DAY=100000000. That does it quite nicely.

All Internet access from my network to the domain is effectively shitholed. Naturally, I enter the domain into Junbuster for good measure (or laptop roaming). -- Karsten M.

Does it really stop the ad popup for longer when I set it to something like 100000, and the screen only says 30 days, OR do they ignore my numerical choice and set it to THEIR choice of 30 days?

My guess is that the techie who designed that page put it in as a back-door sign of remorse for all the shovelcrap that he's had to put out.
