I guess Tim is right here - the pop ups appear in a Linux's Mozilla
also, and the "General terms of service" of Webstats4u.com
(http://www.webstats4u.com/terms/) hosting the counter do explicitely
state in ยง1:
"Some of the Products and Services are supported by advertising,
enabling WMS to provide them to you at no cost. When you use these free
services, you agree to allow WMS to display advertising, including third
party advertising, through the Products and Services"
Hence, either we accept the ads or we abandon the counter.
I'd favor the latter, for the advantage of having some stats here (we
have the download stats on the project page still, haven't we?) does not
outweigh the drawback of getting these pretty annoying pop-ups (as for
me, I consider pages that bring up such stuff rather suspicious and try
to avoid visiting them...).
Cheers,
Matthias

I suppose the pop-up ads are generated by the nedstatbasic script at the
bottom of the page. So we have to remove the counter if we don't want
any advertisement.

I just updated the home page to reflect the NXT announcement and how
it might affect leJOS. Also, I put an interim FAQ in place, though it
obviously isn't as in depth as the Wiki one was.
BTW Are those "You are 100,000,000 winner" pop-up ads coming from
Sourceforge? If so, that might be a good reason to move the lejos.org
home page to another server. I think I might have room on another
server if that's the cause.
