Sound banners, once again. - GoFuckYourself.com

Alright, could we please get rid of the sound banners. They really make me not want to come to GFY.

Babaganoosh · 07-09-2004, 01:14 AM

Gosh, good thing GFY is a democracy and our polls matter. I'll bet all of the sound banners will be gone by tomorrow.

Advertisers matter. Our opinions don't.

I really dislike those banners, especially when you are on the phone. You try to minimize the browser, or try to go to start, and BAM some girl is screaming at you.

bu sound banners!

NoCarrier · 07-09-2004, 07:52 AM

No matter how many threads, votes, whinings, suicide.. Nothing will make them change that.

Controversy = publicity.

Some people just don't seem to get that concept.

If no one clicks on it or even talks about it. Audio banners will go away.

The opposite is happening now..

There are 10000 threads every day about it.

Jakke PNG · 07-09-2004, 07:54 AM

I'm basically curious what will happen if this carries on. I'm seriously thinking of getting software to prevent from flash loading on GFY. I bet that I'm not the only one.. advertisers must love that.

Roald · 07-09-2004, 07:54 AM

maybe if we all make a thread about it they will remove 'm.

candyflip · 07-09-2004, 07:56 AM

I only approve of them if they use unlicensed music content.

Basic_man · 07-09-2004, 07:57 AM

No more banners with Sound

Is it really that hard to reach over and turn your speakers off.

The forum needs to make $$$ too. You want to pay for bandwidth?

Exactly... This affects advertisers who don't use sound as well.
I for one am looking for a solution to disable Flash in IE right now.

One more people mentioning turning off music and I'm coming through the screen to stab him in the face with a rusty screwdriver.

axelcat · 07-09-2004, 11:02 AM

I agree that sound is annoying, especially when it's a moaning - kinda hard to explain that away when on the phone lol
But I guess those banners creates a higher click-through or why else would they insist on using those?

Validus · 07-09-2004, 03:40 PM
