True, but going there has become a real pain in the ...you know where coz
you get a crapload of popups,
and a sh**load of ads, then to cap it all off before you actually download
what you want you are presented
a full page which prompts you to download a software which will get you
better screensavers or one which
will give you more smiley options, both the softwares come riddled with
spyware/adware which is not too
good for your comp....these full pages stay for 10 secs or you have the
option of "skipping" them while
the 10 secs counter is going on.
Almost forgot, you also get a warning page page telling you about a bug in
IE,
EVERYTIME you try to download a package/class...
this page too is loaded with ads of course.

I'm sure to get quite a bit of flack for this email...so go right ahead, but
before doing so please note:
1: I was/am quite a fan of the php classes site, its a good idea and very
useful (although sadly i dont use the site anymore because of the above)
2: I have nothing against a developer making a money off his site/programs

but I think its quite shameful to ruin a good site by littering it with so
many ads that it becomes an eyesore and a
pain to visit...plus promote 2nd/3rd hand software from shady companies like
cursormania/funwebproducts (do
a google search on them) and lastly...show extra pages of "content" before
giving the user what he wants just to
deliver extra ads.

Even adding this to my windows hosts file:
127.0.0.1       files.phpclasses.org
so that all unnecessary graphics dont get displayed is not much of a
advantage anymore as they are being served from
a LOT of places...but it does help.
