Advertisements

[Hoptic]

Hey guys,

so yeah I'm going to talk about the ads. I know this must have been done a thousand times before, but oh well.

 

I don't really care about ads, I'm totally fine with them most of the time, and I'm not one these guys who would complain at the first ad there is on any website.

Yet there is one thing I hate. The ads that make a sound without you asking for it.

So everytime I get on the Nexus main page (and that's quite often, believe me :) ) I get this stupid Battlestar Galactica online game that plays the stupid music associated.

 

My guess is that the admins have signed a contract or whatever with an announcer with certain conditions, and I guess one of the conditions may have been "no ads with unasked played sound or music"...?

 

Maybe the problem is the localization of these ads (being in France, I get French ads, and maybe they are more daring -maybe not)

 

Anyway, is this something the Nexus sites allow? Unasked sound on an ad on the main page? Otherwise please sort things out with your announcer. Unasked sounds are super annoying, and sorry guys but no, muting sounds on my computer (or clicking every time on the mute button on the ads) are not a solution, and should not be one. Plus, sometimes even if you mute the sound on the ad, it just starts again anyway...

 

I mean, the former silent ads were totally fine imo :/

 

By the way, great job on the nexus sites (just grabbing the occasion to say it, because I really want to :) )

 

EDIT: seems these guys have the same problem as me:
