    Why make me hate you?

    Why do these flash banners have mouse-over audio?

    I am only going to hate you more every time I accidently activate them and freak me or my environment out...

        Ugh... they make me feel like I stepped on an audio land mine. Good way to make me want to stay far away, so I won't have to go collect my skin after I've jumped out of it. Same reason I hate jump scares in horror movies - I don't like feeling like someone just punched me in the gut.

            I have always hated those. Since I use my PC as my stereo some crazy loud banner always interrupts my damn music.

              The first time I moused over one I looked around my office startled. It took me a sec to realize what I just did.

                  The flashing ones suck ass even more than the audio ones. I have no clue who's banner it is but I refresh GFY as soon as it pops up. I have no clue why these stupid programs think it's good business to annoy webmasters.

                  Then again this forum is pretty much nothing more than a banner farm anymore...

                    When I sit back for some zen-board-posting chill, I do NOT want some banner freaking me the fuck out; I will write that program's name on a piece of willow bark and burn it in a hellfire.... argh.

                      Bump for the complete halt of all bullshit audio-phreak flash banners from motherfuckinghell.

                      Thank you.

                      :D

                          You know, I don't even know which program that "Giggity-giggity goo" banner belongs to. I only know that it annoys me and that I don't even take the time to look at the banner when I accidentally scroll across it.

                          Mission not accomplished.

                            My boyfriend scores horror movies... it's quite possible he has scared you before

                            He likes to beta test on me... if I feel really uncomfortable, annoyed, stressed, or sick... he knows he's done his job.

                                What annoys me is that it seems like all the loud annoying banners have all been loaded into that space just below the "quick post" box, so when you're done typing your post you invariably always scroll over it to get to the post button.

                                It's like a hellish little sound trap.

                                  They're really annoying!

                                    Everyone trying to copy the "Duke Of New York" but they are failures. It's like people trying to create new Rick Roll's, they are all just annoying failures.
