Actually the same situation with that happened to Tam happened to me with my daughter yesterday - only I saw it coming *I knew this fucking thing was going to happen* and when I heard *OH YEAH--** I started singing veryyyyyyy loudly - but she caught the 'pussy' part and repeated it! I corrected her with *that's SUSIE sweetheart - repeat after me SUUUUUUUUUUU-ZZEEEEEEE* so she ran along.
It sucks - most of us don't work out of our homes - although kids are not in our home offices, they do come in and no matter how fast I am at closing the screens or turning them off & in the process I mouseover or in Tam's case she just refreshed - and it won't go away - then it doesn't help us as parents.
Thank God my son wasn't around with his friends - they would think we're sexmaniacs and I could just imagine the bullshit I'd have to hear from the neighbours.
Moral of story - I hate it & I think it's unprofessional - If I'd want my kids subjected to this, I'd leave pornos around the house. If it must be tolerated, onmouseout should be in effect.
As for leaving GFY for a banner sound - from the responses I see, I think there wouldn't be too many people left other than surfers - I'm sure GFY would be happy about that.

It isn't that I personally mind it so much, that's the first time I had ever heard it..... it was more that it freaked my son out and left me with nothing to say.
I know NOW to keep my sounds off at any and all costs here.

I know I need to tread carefully with this one ... but where are the mods? Who are the mods? Whenever something comes up like this it seems like it takes forever to get it changed, if it ever does get changed. Another example is the search function, which has been broken for a while now. Why hasn't anyone fixed it?

Same for me, I don't what I hit, moused over, whatever, but my volume was WAY load from listening to a cd earlier and the message came out really loud and scared my son, he jumped up and said "what was that" because to him it sounded like someone getting hurt. Luckily he didn't hear what exactly was said, but I don't like the sound banners because of that situation. I have people over all the time and I am always working when they are here, so personally I don't think its professional.
Until this thread I didn't even know what company it was for, I've been dodging it. If I were going to be annoying the hell out of webmasters with talking banners I'd sure have it yelling out the name of my company
I don't give a shit how many times it's been said. You're banner is way out of line and way unprofessional. It' too loud, doesnt stop, and will loop every time you hit it, like when you try to move your mouse quick to get off it. Even if its still playing. Your advertising is LAME and CHEAP
Word the fuck up! My sentiments exactly, fuck Naughty Bank!
Originally posted by Tam Well up until today I hadn't heard it because I keep my volume on mute all the time, but I hit a link that required me to turn my volume way up and I forgot to shut it back off........ I came back here and loaded it........ and I hear someone screaming "fuck my pussy" or whatever, RIGHT as my 10 yr old and 15 yr old boys walked into the room where I am sitting.......
THAT wasn't pleasant at all and was a little hard to get turned down while looking at THEIR horrified faces...... so I don't think *I* like this banner one damn bit either. I wasn't ready to have that blasting in my boys ears when all I did was hit refresh on this board......
making comments on a board like this that is so public and most likely monitored by some of the people that hate porn, was a worse idea...
That is something that should have been taken up in a more private matter! Stating something like this can be twisted by people that are against porn and used against you trying to prove that you are a bad mom.
I dont think that you are, but why give someone the bullet to shoot at you with???
A few things first I have met Allie and her hubby and they are very nice people, very cool people. Now the rest first to the guy said who cares she is hot, this is a business what the fuck does her being hot have to do with anything. Its too fucking loud and if you take your mouse off it still continues but I forget this isnt a business forum anymore its a yahoo club with nudie pics how stupid of me.
Want sound banners to stop dont support programs that use them or pull your traffic if you are with one of them, that will wake them up lol.
I can understand if you don't like their choice in advertisement decisions or design, but to come out on a board like this one and put the thread header as "Naughty Bank Sucks" is just wrong and uncalled for. Some of you may not realize, but threads that deliberately bash someone's program on the boards usually results in loss of revenue.
Allie's team spent money advertising here, and sure they probably thought by sticking in some sounds of her (which I think is hot, but for surfers not webmasters) moaning would attract some webmasters, it's pretty obvious they overshot their expectations but you don't have to ruin business for her by making it seem like they are scumbags..
Think before you post next time. Perhaps put yourself in her place for a bit. She made have made a mistake, but does she seriously deserve to lose valuable webmaster business from it?

Think before you put up horrible advertisements, and then make BAD pr statements and ignore the constructive critisism. She's brought this on herself now.

Note to Tam:
DO NOT LOOK AT PORN OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE, MESSAGE BOARDS OR NOT WHEN THERE ARE UNDERAGE KIDS IN THE ROOM... jesus christ, you cannot blame someone else's advertisements on your own mistakes.

Thats nice but people have been complaining about this for weeks and its been ignored. This isnt new .

I didn't say she was correct with her advertisement, I think it was a stupid idea, but I don't think she should apologize, it's just a harmless mistake.. It's not like she mistakenly spent affiliate money on her husband's new Hummer H2, then I would understand the reason for everyone to be so mad, but to get all worked up over a stupid banner advertisement, cmon...

Where did she say that the kids were in the room? She specifically stated they walked into the room - kids go out, they play, they come home - they look for their parents....it happens....more often than not.

Well, like what happened above, my situation was somewhat worse. I had an ENTIRE room filled with family, friends and two little kids. I really do not appreciate this shit and if anything I hope they fail horribly in the future for being stupid enough to use such marketing strategies. The fact that they cannot even address this issue is just sad and unprofessional. Believe it or not GFY was very surfable BEFORE, without having to worry who was around you. I have no clue why the mods and GFY would even allowed such banners.

Please shut up. We can and will blame them for being the unprofessional dickheads they are. GFY is not all about porn, actual business threads are located here on this forum.

It actually does sound cool when you move your mouse over 100X fast. But seriously would you approve of such filth playing when you have family in the room, or even nearby?
The sound level is pretty intense when compared to the other sound banners too.
Originally posted by fuzebox The banner pisses me off too, but I really can't believe there are so many people on here working at home with kids running around their office.
Who cares if it's "just a forum", use some fucking discretion. You're not selling flower arrangements, your office should be off limits.
Whatever the case is, shit like that is really not needed.
You guys remember that purefuck banner from way back?
Originally posted by boobmaster The thing that gets me is that it's just really BAD marketing.
I disagree. There have been at least 10 threads in the last few weeks about Allie's banners. Even if it's complaints, it's drawing a lot of attention to a great site & will probably bring new webmasters to her program.

I DO NOT LOOK AT PORN WHEN THEY ARE IN THE ROOM!!!!
HE WAS NOT IN THE ROOM...... he was two rooms away walking towards me........ I had JUST hit refresh and heard that and was trying to CLOSE the shit before it got out there......... he wasnow in the next room coming towards where I was....... and he heard it from the next room....... and MY speakers weren't up as loud as most keep theirs, I keep mine down pretty well...... but that thing is very loud!
You have never been in my house, you don't know me...... My kids are MORE sheltered from porn than 99% of those who HATE it..... and you know why? BECAUSE I am a webmaster and I KNOW all the steps to take to protect them from it and I TAKE those steps.
My kids are not allowed near my computer or in the room where I am when I am working. We got them their OWN computer so they wouldn't be subjected to it!! I do TEXT (html and such things) when they are up and about and in the area and I do the image stuff when they are out or asleep. I protect my kids at any and ALL costs from anything to do with porn......
What I do isn't illegal, and I don't subject my children to this.... never have and never will. But I can't always control what SOUNDS are screaming from these banners, now, can I? It is because of things like that that I have had my speakers shut down for the past 5 years, this isn't the first instance with talking banners, just the WORST!
MY fault? I suppose it was, I should have known there was going to be a banner screaming FUCK ME HARD when I hit refresh on my computer, and one that wouldn't shut up to boot..... damn what was I thinking? LOL

My office is VERY much off limits...... that's why it freaked me out so bad when it happened.... All I have ever had to worry about was the visuals, so I didn't give two thoughts to their being in the next ROOM...... I honestly hadn't really paid attention to it before because my shit is so off limits to them...... but I wasn't ready for the screaming banners. But I can ASSURE you, my office is completely off limits to all of my kids........ even my 20 yr old when she comes to visit, I shut everything down. LOL
Its sorta funny that no one has come foward. With this new annoying trend legit gfy flash banners will have to suffer. It's sad that no one on the upper end really cares, banner spots will probably have to drop in value due to all of us disabling flash on gfy.
I really said enough on this issue, someone give me a call when action is taken.
who gives a fuck, really, its just a bit of noise, turn off flash or your sounds when you are on gfy if you hate it so much, or just dont mouseover the banner

You don't have to apologize for anything. There are many parents who work from home and don't subject their kids to porn.

I highly doubt it. Personally I've made every effort not to mouseover the fucking banner.. never even crossed my mind to actually click it. I can honestly say that I have never been to the page where that banner leads to. Not by clicking it, not by typing naughtybank.com

Exactly.
I have a suggestion. Get the Maxthon (MyIE2) extension for IE... and turn off Flash when browsing GFY. Never ever will the fuckin banner annoy you again.

Originally posted by PrivateIvy I don't understand why the banner haters need your sound turned up when browsing GFY ? I turn mine off....it's very easy to do

Ivy your a very smart woman so I know your not serious. So you are telling I cant listen to my news programs while surfing GFY if I dont want to hear FUCK ME FUCK ME
