New Idea - EVERYONE BOYCOT any company that has a banner with noise in it on GFY
 

fuck the noise banner piss me off - and I'm getting to the point where I'm going to boycot the companies that think they need that to sell their crap.

let me work in fucking PEACE already

Sleazy... I have been doing that for ages anyway.

Call it a "silent" protest.

He he

;-)

Actually since GFY allows that I just adblocked all their banners. I unfortunetly don't see anybodys banners. I HATE those sound ones, and GFY is the only board that allows that crap. I also HATE adblocking webmaster banners because I like to see what everyones got, and what they're doing, but after getting scared outta my skin for the zillionth time they ALL got blocked. Really it's the OTHER SPONSORS who don't use that sound that should be yelling. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's done a complete adblock on GFY... and it sucks. Speak out sponsors, 'cause I'm not seeing what you're paying good money for!!!!

'Nuff said.

And if you use IE, too bad for you, since IE sucks a wet fart out of my ass. :)

:thumbsup

Been systematically shitlisting every sponsor whose banners ever barked at me.

but i gotta find the one where the girl says... "aint nothin goin in my ass" first... i wanna put it on my voicemail, lol.

some are pretty annoying

good ideea !

They do get annoying

i made a thread about this so many times

Thank You!

Sponsors that put sound in that banner spot have never gotten a dime nor will they ever make a dime from me - and it doesn't block the "regular joe" banner folks in the rotation!

I got FlashBlock in FireFox, works like a charm :thumbsup

Yeah I nuked those flash banners too. I usually browse GFY late at night and I don't need to hear loud moaning or other BS. It may seem like an attention getter but really its counterproductive I think.

that's what I was going to say

Welcome To The Oc, Bitch!

Well, No Shit!

I agree! Same goes for any of these websites, adult OR mainstream, that plop out music, or noise, or some loud ass video that plays when you visit their site...

Pain in the ass!

They are annoying as hell.. every time I get a phone call if I'm browsing GFY I have to turn off my speakers. Just in case I might mouse over one of those damn things and hear a "Oh fuck me harder" or some useless BS.

i dont think this will work

I don't have volume on :(

you never listen to music while surfing gfy ?

I have my sound turned off entirely. Sites that produce noise are one of the reasons.

I startle easily, and hate that.

Why don't just turn your sound off?!?

I meant today sorry you are right it is has happened :thumbsup

I was looking for that stuff. Thanks for the link.

Am I the only one who cares like a thousand times more about making good money than about annoying sounds on GFY?

getting that righhhhhhhhhht now

That adultlinknetwork thing pisses me off... Shit design and gives me a fucking heartattack every time my mouse comes near it.

Agreed ... I gotta turn off my speakers while browsing GFY, I barely listen to any music anymore

i only mind it if i am rocking out to music at the same time i accidentally mouseover the fucker and it scares the living shit out of me.

i like the OC Cash one, but i guess you gotta be a so cal person to appreciate that one. "Welcome to the OC Bitch!!!!!!!!!!"

No offense but you shouldn't be allowed to browse GFY if you don't have the main ads turned on.... But at the same time the sound banners piss me off too. I'm just not going to do anything about it because it's gfy's income and the principle of using their bandwidth and not letting them show me their ads.

I've been trained like a dog to simply move my mouse around all banners... I almost never mouseover banners anymore.

Its not either/or dumbass. If you are here to make money and network you don't want stupid shit banners yelling irrelevant attention getters at you.

People still click on banners.

Agreed. Scares the begeezus outta me. But it can be amusing to see my roomies' reactions when the sound scares the living hell out of them. :1orglaugh

I never hear them - don't you have to mouseover to get sound?

I haven't seen a banner or ad around here in 2 years.

Get yourself a better browser. You'll never regret it.

I used to listen to music from my laptop, now I listen directly from my IPOD. I hate it when music gets cut off.

BOOOOOOOOOOO!! :1orglaugh This mustn't be your fav day being Halloween and all. :upsidedow

its so people make threads about them and bring attention to their program. I find this not the best way to market although it gets exposure.

I already avoid them. In fact I block them.
