I must ask you guys two questions regarding sites and scripts.
1. If you get to a website and in the bottom you see 'Powered by ----' which mean that they use some scripts from HotScript.com (for example) what is you first impression?
2. Do you oppose to this sites or the only thing that you care about is the content?

as long as those scripts are being used for the site and NOT to do things on my computer or flood me with popups to the point where my browser or worse windows crashes ... then honestly don't give a damn.

Scripts are ok except, like Raven says, they do something to annoy me like open popup windows or try and install stuff on my pc (things like Gator and the like). Unfortunately most people here host their sites on geocities or other free site that have to have popups to show ads to pay for the hosting.

Sites that have script errors also annoy me as I get numerous popup error messages (I need error notification turned on as I develop websites myself). Also get lots of 'permission denied' popup errors that annoy me.

Most scripts, like rollover menus and popup menus are ok and the odd site that like to have text or graphics following your mouse cursor are just about acceptable.

Even this forum site has LOADS of scripts on it but they all work properly, don't produce errors and are mostly invisible to the user.

Boo!

Im not talking about annoy scripts that give you popups and stuff like that.
Im talking about scripts like news system, poll system etc.

well, when those scripts are present, it's actually a good thing. If a script is worth distributing, it probably means its not going to mess anything up. I like seeing "Powered by ____" because I imagine one day my name is gonna be there
