I always listen to music when I'm working... so when those god damn banners sound off I hear them.

You are lucky, they SUCK.

Jon Clark - BANNED FOR LIFE · 03-15-2007, 12:07 PM

I use ad blocking software for the sole reason to block them ads... It sucks to because I like to see them ads...

I just hate to hear them... and like DWT I listen to music all the time so keeping sound off is not an option

me too! i have to have music playing.. i'll go insane without it.

anyways, i don't mind if they have sound when you roll over them, as long as when you roll OFF of them, it stops. i HATE HATE HATE the ones that just start playing and you can't stop unless you refresh or hit the back button.

prezzz · 03-15-2007, 12:56 PM

Damn, from the board owner's point of view it would be a bad move to allow banners annoying enough to make people disable ads on a given site... But what do I know

Sly · 03-15-2007, 01:00 PM

Those banners are the reason I have flash blocked. I now see no flash banners at all.

Sponsors take note.

it's surprising that more are coming out when the last one was so universally hated here.

DWB · 03-15-2007, 01:56 PM

Ohhhh... didn't think to turn my flash off. Doh!

Very true.
The recent banners have prompted me to install ad blocking software.

And as a top banner advertiser, we are re-evaluating the worth of the ad buy.

candyflip · 03-15-2007, 02:10 PM

Awesome Hal. It's about time someone did.

People have complained about them for years and those complaints have fallen on deaf ears.

I don't see why someone would spend money on a top banner knowing that a large portion of their potential viewers can't even see them.

stickyfingerz · 03-15-2007, 02:14 PM

Ad block for any banner with sound period. Mouse over or whatever. Sound =s block.

wyldblyss · 03-15-2007, 03:25 PM

I don't click banners that have sound...even if they are the exact sponsor I am looking for...I will not click...I will not sign up. I figure everyone knows the banners drive people nuts and any program who is willing to annoy a hell of a lot of people in an effort to attract their attention is not the kind of sponsor I want to do business with.

Three people I know have adblocked ALL banners on GFY because of the banners with sound.

tabasco · 03-15-2007, 04:41 PM

Just block em in your host file;

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
Open the "host" file and add
127.0.0.1 ads.gofuckyourself.com

Juilan · 03-15-2007, 04:57 PM

DaddyHalbucks · 03-15-2007, 05:01 PM

Yes, the banners with sound are very annoying.

Somebody should do an official GFY poll and see how everybody feels about this.

Scott McD · 03-15-2007, 05:07 PM

I fucking hate them. And they seem to get more annoying with each new one...

alexg · 03-15-2007, 05:14 PM

I AGREE!
let's hope Lensman sees this thread...

TTiger · 03-15-2007, 06:27 PM

last night at work (i work as dj in a stripper club and have a puter on my dj boot) a girl was on stage and was surfing GFY then i pass my mouse over this fucking banner and the sound come out of the speaker during a girls show in front of over 100 people and all the eyes were turning to my boots instead of the girl stage that was kinda funny and ambarssing at the same time,,:-)

i think that sums up the concern best right there. that fucking 'duke of new york' banner has been pissing me off for the last hour, trying to listen to the radio online while working and that obnoxious voice belting out w/ every refresh fucking sucks... it seems really silly that i have to block flash wholesale to avoid the distraction..

I have sound enabled for "rings" from incoming VOIP calls since I don't want to wear a headset all day, so I block all ads here, too

Banners with sound make the advertiser look desperate. Do you scream to get attention at a show, running around with blinking lights on your head ? No ?

Why do it on the board ?

nico-t · 03-15-2007, 07:16 PM
