Whenever I see the joinrightnow.com banner I just go ahead and refresh - GoFuckYourself.com

I have a 3.0Mbps DSL line, but that one chokes GFY where the page never loads past it. There's a couple others almost as bad, but that one is consistent. Is there any reason for a swf banner to have more than a few seconds of mouseover audio?

GFED · 08-13-2005, 10:21 AM

i never even see the banners... even though they're there...

Sly · 08-13-2005, 10:23 AM

I thought I was the only one. It lags my computer as well.

Doc911 · 08-13-2005, 10:26 AM

makes you want to turn flash off sometimes

I've never had a problem with it as I am on a 20mb per sec connection but somebody made a post like this the other day. Maybe they should make a new one.

Babagirls · 08-13-2005, 10:43 AM

yup, i do the same thing, im on cable.

theres a few banners that do that, JRN is just one of them.

So that's what it was..I knew GFY would cause my browser to lag but didn't wait around to see which banner did it

The only time I notice who is advertising on GFY is when someone skins the whole site, so I never pinned slow loading down to a particular banner. When GFY hangs, I tend to assume it's being DOS'd and just come back again later...

There's banners and sigs on this site?

What you need is Adblock+Firefox and presto: problem fixed

Well, being that this is a business site that is a pretty bad approach.

Maybe forcing you to reload a page several times just to continue is a business model

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Seems like a lot of people like the music and even some mix master mixologists use it to scratch with.

Here is the link ........... how many of you do a little scratch mix off the banners on GFY
