OK OK, my first and only statement regarding the farting banner
 

OK OK OK We're back and recovering from the show. I didn't bring my laptop on this trip but when I got home and played a bit on the boards, I finally witnessed and developed great sympathy for those of you who had to listen to PFPFPFPFT every 8 seconds. How fucking annoying indeed ;) (LOL)

To let poor shok off the hook, I attached an email to show you guys how quickly the banner was fixed. I'd like to thank Blue design studios for doing such a good job and for being prompt and accomodating with as always. After the first post was made regarding this ad, they had it fixed within an hour. It was immediately sent to Eric and jt at gfy. No one was at fault here. It was just crazy timing because Friday after the offices all close, everyone at GFY was scurrying to get ready for the convention.

We sincerely apologize for the excrutiating torture we put you guys through and vow to turn our volume up a bit when reviewing our banners before forwarding them off.

I would agree that it would not be a "good marketing decision" if deliberately made. However, the unintentional branding was priceless and it shows bigtime in our Jettis admin.

For those of you that we drove crazy, our apologies again and please let us buy you a few beers and a xanex at the next convention ;)

The only fix in this banner needed is that the sound should only come on with a mouseover.
Can you fix that?

Shok

i like it..and thats the bottom line...

Only one gfy can you find 10 posts about a fart :)

One of the many reasons why I surf with the sound muted :Graucho And when I listen to music I never come on GFY... do not need any extra sounds in my music.

Yeah I cant believe we got the blame for a LegendaryLars banner, he should be here apologizing for his annoying farting banner.

yeah well i do and when i sat down for a read of the board and some relaxing music, i did not expect..

"And I Said To Myself, PFFFRRRRTTTT!!!, What A Wonderful World, PFFFRRRRRRRRRTTT!!!!!!! :eek2 :Grrrrrr

:winkwink:

a little know secret is thats an actual recorded sound from RRRed I kid you not.

the future is in smellavision.

Hearing a fart is like watching someone yawn, its contagious.

Besides being very annoying, my biggest problem was my son's tutor was in the room next to me. These things are not cute or cool.

Now thats funny
:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

hey red, you're hot. we met at the airport. Do you want to have babies with me?

you should try this line it works better:

"Hey baby, I run Hustler"

Man, i didn't even get to see it....is it down now?

fuck mouseover sound too. NO SOUND people. we want NO SOUND in the banners. definitely no farting. this isn't Yahooligan's people. this is an ADULT webmaster board.

if you HAVE to have a mouseover make it something personalized, like "ohhhhhh pamphage you know i love your sweaty long cock inside my sweet little luv muffin."

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Every fucking song in a banner is fucking stupid . I can understand mouseover sound over a menu or something . But the banners are in the wayt of the mouse and this is just ANNOYING . they should ban all the sounds from the banners.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I concur!
