Maaaaaaaaaaan, do I ever hate to agree with baddog!!!
 

Holy fuck that porn access banner is annoying!!! No wonder I surf the interweb with my sound muted, fuckheads like to play stupid ass sound when I didn't ask for it. YUCK! :)

Flame away, I wanted my own cool thread for today.

I couldn't agree with you more Jact!

yeah its pretty fucking annoying you have to surf the web now adays with the sound off but to come to a webmaster forum and deal with shit you would encounter on myspace or some surfer driven site is absurd

I agree!

Haven't noticed that one. Guess I don't want to, either.

That Python banner's been snapping me these days - locks my browser until it finally loads, regardless of the machine I'm on. The Duke of NY one also sucks, with the sound that won't off on mouseout. :(

I don't have the luxury of surfing muted . . too much going on that I may to be alerted with sound.

I'm glad I have banners blocked lol.

As a top banner advertiser, it concerns me when other banners start driving people to turn off the ads.

Maybe I should load up our banner with sounds. :(

haven't seen the banner, but I also turn off my sound when I come here, fucking annoying as hell.

Damn, I knocked the dude out twice...fortunately for me I didn't know I had the sound turned off...without sound, the banner is quite entertaining.

I thought those auto play banners weren't allowed?

As a top banner advertiser, you should refrain from buying anymore advertising until they put a stop to those kind of banners. People complain about that kinda shit all the time but nobody seems to care. The only way to control it is with money. Stop spending it and that'll get somebodies attention.

Sad but true :Oh crap

pretty much

100% agreed!!! it should only play the sound when you put your mouse over it!!

I always have my speakers on mute, due to the banners

i just love ff with flash-block :)

I keep my sound off

I like listening to my iTunes albums and radio stations when I surf. Those stupid banners really fuck up my surfing experience. Not that the powers to be would care about "my" surfing experience...as long as the money keeps rolling in why should they care? :mad:

Hey JOEL, fuck u and ur baner

Firefox with AdBlock Plus + NoScript = No annoying sound banners.



You guys all realize _you_ (the surfer/person hearing the annoying banner) control the computer/browsing experience and not the other way around right? :)

It's your web browser, it's your machine, it's your internet connection, you decide what content is displayed, and not the other way around.

Nice addon - thanks :thumbsup

Yes, I think we all realize this. It just sucks ass that the people who run this board have no interest in what we as a community like and dislike. People have been complaining about this for quite some time and nobody is listening nor do they care. It's all about money and ad-revenue and as long as it continues to roll in - nothing will change.

Like I said, it's your browser, if you don't want to see/hear the banners then install adblock and start blocking them, problem solved. The money hungry juggernaut that is GFY needn't rule your browsing experience. Change has to start somewhere, right? If everyone starts blocking the sound ads I suspect they'll go away. I haven't heard a peep out of GFY since "SHOULDA USED QUICK BUCK!!!!!!!"

:1orglaugh That's brilliant!
