Now this is something I have noticed. Several times I have been submitting a site review only to to end up totally confused when other posts described things I wasn't seeing. Usually I'll figure it out, disable the firewall, reload and everything is fine.
I'm torn now because as an average internet user, I like the blocked popups and faster loading pages because the advertisements don't load; but now that I am trying to advertise affiliate ads on my sites and get others to support my own affiliate program I see it from the other view point. I can't see most of the banners on my own sites because they are blocked by NIS. I know ZoneAlarm blocks some advertisements that NIS misses. I have an Amazon button on two of my sites that NIS doesn't block, but through a site review, the reviewer asked "Why do you have that "books block" with nothing in it?" I asked her which firewall she was using and it was ZA.
Where is that thread you mentioned where this discussion is going on, Catalyst? I'd be curious to see some more views.
