I don't know what you're talking about

Semi-Retired-Dave 02-09-2005 11:30 AM

I liked it the first few days, but it is getting annoying.

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.

1) Well, the first point is off, I am not referring to the exact ad Sleazy referrenced. On the contrary, the ads I gave attention to I stated that I do not know who made them, because I am trained to shut them down.

2) You are correct. I many times will use my ipod directly. That is the way it is; but, keep in mind, this makes me pay less attention to the ads. Now, I ask you: Whose ad says, "this is a message from God?" Can you answer that without going to look now?

(btw, I am not condemning the specific banner in question, just making an example.)

3) I originally supported Allie's ad. At the time, it was original. It got a lot of attention. But now everyone has copied it. It is no longer a novelty.

one can block the ad server entirely, or deny certain types of files in your browser.

This is the first complaint I've seen about the movie, except for in the beginning when it was screwing up firefox. It's been pretty easy to avoid, and we only set it up to autoplay without mousing over once. Now that we figured out how to do it right, it will only have the mouseover feature one day, then you will have to click on it to play it until it comes down.

JFK 02-09-2005 11:49 AM

Fitty things that anoy Sleazy :1orglaugh

Lensman fully supports the firefox browser

Michael O 02-09-2005 12:02 PM

Its all about respect for the user of the board.
Lensman makes a lot of money from all the ads here I donīt see a reason to piss people off with an anoying ad like that. If the board was struggling and couldnīt make bandwidth payments I wouldnīt have a problem with it but I hardly think thats the case. This is taking the advertising a step to far. If this is the start to something new it will only make people stop coming here or simply turn the ads off.

pornstar2pac 02-09-2005 12:05 PM

Lensman does have a big bandwidth bill

UniversalPass Pete 02-09-2005 12:06 PM

Well, these audio ads totally fuck up and crash firefox and netscape on the Mac.
So he can't fully suppor tit now can he.

fuzebox 02-09-2005 01:56 PM

I've been using flashblock for Firefox since the first audio banners appeared... They were scaring the shit out of me whenever my mouse happened to be near the top of the browser after clicking "refresh", especially if I was listening to music and had my speakers up.

tranza 02-09-2005 02:59 PM

It would be VERY nice to surf a sound-free GFY....

ProjectNaked 03-24-2005 11:56 PM

Download something to block ads and shut your fat piehole

chodadog 03-25-2005 05:35 AM

Since the inception of audio banners to GFY, i haven't seen an top banner spot on GFY. I'm sure this is true for a fairly large chunk of GFY surfers. I'm sure the annoying banners have higher click throughs, but when you only have 1/2 the people seeing them, what's the point?
