I disagree, repectfully of course.

Two problems exist with sound banners, in my opinion:

1) Marketing saturation. They have worn through the original shock value and luster. In fact, I am now trained to immediately react and shut down GFY whenever sound cuts off my iTunes. Thing is, I can't tell you whose banner it is that plays the rap song, not sure who it is that has the message from god, nor do I know who that screaming one is from. I don't have a clue as to whose programs they are. Fact.
yep, but you are back and posting and writing paragraphs about it. What was the target of this ad? attention, did it get some,.. sure is working to me.

2) They interupt my music. Personal thing.

I doubt any advertiser would cancel GFY because of a no sound policy. Other boards have a no sound policy and their boards are growing with advertisers. GFY is huge, people want to be here, it is not a tough sell. It does not have to come with a free "waffle maker in addition to for $19.95."
i set up a second computer to run all my music when the first audio banners come out.

it doesnt matter what we think. just accept it.

Hey, that is just my opinion, nothing against the sound programs. Whatever works. Basic business logic.
naughty allie banner success proved audio banners are here to stay, our opinion does not matter.

im not arguinging, just stating the facts. and i agree with many of your points, i just know it doesnt matter.
