site you see who made it, otherwise, could i make it show a page to people

Ah, see, "unobtrusive" is where you make your mistake. Most people view
popunders as *very* obtrusive. Same with pages that come up when you try to

Don't make a banner; make a nice simple tag at the bottom of the pages.
People can appreciate and respect that.
