DarkDragon Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Hey there, love the site and have been using it for some time. I currently am not in a financial situation where it would be good for me to become a supporter of this site, regardless of how much I may want to. On that note, there is an advertisement that has recently been added to the site that is driving me nuts (and probably a lot of other people too) I don't know if anything can be done about it as you probably don't control the ads on the site, but anything that can be done would be appreciated. The ad in question is one for "2-free ipod nanos", and every time it appears it screams across my speakers "Congratulations, you have been selected to receive 2 free ipod nanos". Like I give a damn... :P Anyways, I have no problem with ads as I know they are necessary to help pay for freeloaders like me, I just have a problem with ads that have annoying sounds that come up every time I open a new page. If I get more money in the near future I will definately consider becoming a supporter of this site, as I said though, right now it's not an option unfortunately. Thanks!

Jew Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Ignore my handle. It took me an an amazing amount of time to actually get a username in the first place. Anyway, yes. That message is annoying. REALLY annoying. Whilst browsing through 100+ pages of mods, I don't like hearing that every other time I click a link. Could you please remove that ad from your rotation? We'd be much obliged, sir. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd be much obliged, sir. Thanks.I agree. I jump every other time I hear it because I don't think to turn off my speakers before I log on. I'm all for advertising but the ones with sound are just plain grading on my senses. I know the site may possibly be under contract and must advertise for them but I'm sure they have other adds that would do the trick. In any case I still love this site and think that the admins are doing a fine job despite advertising obligations. :D Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Povuholo Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I would almost forget tessource has advertisements... My strict firefox settings seem to block all of them, I only see empty advertisement boxes :) But as soon as I get here with the latest IE it starts blocking pop ups and let a few through. Well, a 2 free ipod nano's advertisement sounds less annoying than the pop up message of a spyware site (drivecleaner) I used to get here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithrandir8 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 The advertisement is very annoying but if they pay the best for the spot would you chose it or a cheaper advertisement that pays less? I would want the most money for the spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja_lord666 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I'll jump on with everyone else. I concur! It is the most annoying thing ever. However, I turn my speakers on only when I play a game or watch a video. I have no reason to waste the couple cents an hour to send electricity to the speakers when all I wil hear is:" "I am on the same boat as DarkDragon. I want to donate...but I would need money in order to do that...I would need a job to get money...I would need a car to get a job...I would need money to get a car...I would need--*You hear the sound of a gun shot, and all is silent once again.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark0ne Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Can anyone confirm if the IPod ad has gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elpiggo Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Can anyone confirm if the IPod ad has gone? *Pokes head out of hole* Unblocked it and still can't see it. Did you get rid of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Filtered out audio on the one advertiser that actually lets me do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
