GFY, Eric, Theo, WTF ?
 

You guys are gonna give me a heart attack. dammit.

I refreshed the screen and a big old video window opens up and starts loading shit.

Thought I had been hacked or something.

Cool effect there if I had been aware of it before hand...lol. As it was though it made me jump pretty fucking good.

Same here i thought i got a virus or something

crazy shit :error

It's pretty good ad space but at least cap it, once I see it and click the X, I don't need to see it again and again. I'm sure it's just a small issue tho and it will be capped to at the most one time per day.

You should only see it once every 24 hours, that is unless you are using some nefarious software to hide your identity. But then that is on you, not us :thumbsup

You are so sexy when you use the big words ;p

.

I also closed it immediately and have no idea what it was about LOL

Hint: all these big ads and banners just don't work. Yeah, at least for webmasters (we have a strong immunity for all that shit). The best way to promote something on GFY is a sig. spot. Not just someones sig spot. Bots who made their 50,000+ posts commenting in every thread with "cool", "she's hot", "sexy", "i'd hit it", "lol" etc, are absolutely useless because everybody just skips their "wise comments". Only those who always argue and make dramas get their signatures clicked, because everybody thinks: "ok asshole, now let me see your websites..."

Believe me, I know what I'm talking about :winkwink:

Its just an ad no biggie here.

I didnt closed it,nor was shocked.I already saw same ad on ynot awards show,and i am used too to popunder format.Too,intresting how it bypass both adblock and firefox.Need to copy that code somehow lol

I never saw ads like this, but I immediately understood it was going to be a video ad, all good. Of course I would not like to close it every 24 hours after I already watched it :)

popups hahahhahaha

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

God me too - I couldn't figure out what the hell was going on - in all of my years here,never seen a popup here - not on gfy!! :Oh crap

Yep works fine now, I probably caught it very very early or it was user error.... :winkwink:

Still isn't as bad as the sound banners... :1orglaugh

for some reason i see a popup on the index page!!! is it correct?

I thought something was hacked too.

I lost interest in the first ten seconds.

It never occured to me to think it was a hack. I've seen this type of ad before on many other sites, and since lately GFY has been trying out new things it came as no surprise at all. Plus I know my system, and know when something like this is malware related. If it were, it would no doubt be happening when I hit other sites, including my own even. Virus's and malware don't descriminate. To me it was obviously a new form of ad on here.

Clicking the X once a day won't be so bad. Will it? :D

Well you are just so smart, aren't you?

From now on I am just gonna call you SmartyPants. Is that ok SmartyPants?

;p

.

Got me to on Linux.

Why target those that are members who are logged in? Why not use videos ads like these and target users who are not logged in or non members.

Just a thought.

She's Hot!

:1orglaugh

Yup scared the hell out of me just a second ago too

This thread didn't seem so funny the first time I saw it.

Oh god I know, I STILL am gunshy of those things - I shut all sound off my machine and only turn it on as a case by case - there was one that scared the living shit out of me a few times. lol

I just got a big red screen; thought it had something to do with PMs. Turned out I did have one that came last week but never notified me

some of y'all might want to switch to decaf. ;

Got me too, but mine was an add for a mobile traffic site, so I knew it HAD to be GFY :)

we gonna used on it

Bwahahaah!

How about turning off the sound, the ad is intrusive enough without the sound.


Has anyone had any luck blocking this ad with adblock?

If you must, this filter will stop the video from loading.

Do we get free GFY underwear; because you make us shit our pants.

:1orglaugh

same here

:1orglaugh

Pay $4.99 / month to upgrade to no ads + access to hidden forums :thumbsup

No, fucking deal with it, or leave. You're being a hypocrite.

Eric, good job, get something back from these fucks giving you a headache. :thumbsup

This is incorrect Eric.

I am using GFY from a static IP, do not block cookies and I have seen this popup several times in the past hour of browsing GFY. Your ad serving mechanism is broken if you think it should only happen once every 24 hours.

I have not seen it since I posted this thread yesterday. In about 25 minutes it will have been 24 hours. So, it appears to be working to me. So, maybe some browser, cookie issues going on somewhere for you AK.

I should see it again if I check back in an hour or so.

For those that didnt see our ad, here you go :

Send us your mobile traffic, you will not regret it !


:thumbsup:thumbsup

I browsed the site from 2 separate computers on 2 separate IP addresses. I only got the popup ONCE on both devices.

If I click in a thread after seeing it then click my back button, I get the video again for a second time then not again until 24 hours later. Seems like a small issue with back button, I'm sure it is easy to fix.

got it again a few minutes ago so it appears it is working as planned to me.
