urbex Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I really don't see the shame in blocking them when they're disruptive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrstu Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I leave adblock off for the most part, as I like supporting the sites I like to use... but yeah, these are sorely tempting me... opening up three or four tabs and having them all start yelling at me is just... UGH. Ads that auto-play sound = bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retribution Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I have a 200 MB/day download limit. These ads can actually impact that, because they're often 1 minute+. Also, after you mute them or turn the sound all the way down, it goes right back. The videos I've seen are for GTA, some biking game, 5 gum, and some sort of walkthrough for getting a bobblehead in Fallout 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curneld Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 I have a 200 MB/day download limit. These ads can actually impact that, because they're often 1 minute+. Also, after you mute them or turn the sound all the way down, it goes right back. The videos I've seen are for GTA, some biking game, 5 gum, and some sort of walkthrough for getting a bobblehead in Fallout 3. This is my main issue. I don't have a mb cap. But I also don't have the fastest internet. These videos are anywhere from a minute all the way up to like 6 minutes or more, and the video it's constantly downloading, whether I have it muted or not (I have Opera turned all the way down in the volume mixer atm, so I don't hear it), it still sucks away my bandwidth and pages end up taking the better part of a minute to load.

Zedblade Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Agreed, at the very least they should be muted by default. I, like many others like to browse with multiple tabs. I'm tired of hearing "Hey whats up, rizzo here." played 4 times all overlapping. It's rather irritating and it will only drive away people.

LHammonds Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Dark0ne doesn't like the loud obnoxious ads any more than the rest of you. SCREENSHOTS PLEASE EDIT: See. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I believe I know the one you're talking about. Trying to find it and stop it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevedroid Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Yeah what the heck is with the "Hay, what's up, rizzo here..." ad? Everytime I go to a new page this autoplays - along with a couple other video ads, but this is by far the most annoying. I don't even know what the heck it's advertising, it's some kid doing a walkthough of how to get FO3 bobbleheads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
