Are you annoyed by the "oh my god I'm coming" banner...

... and other flash banners with sound, especially when they don't stop on mouseoff?

I am, and I'm confident most people here are. I hope the people in charge at this board will bear this in mind.

I think it's very annoying to have sounds in banners. Especially when you've got a kid in the next room and you didn't realize your sound was turned way up.

It dont bother me as much as the very highly annoying "epassporte" banner...i want to smash my computer when I hear that fucking sound.

If porn sounds are bothering your children in or outside your office, then turn the sound down when you surf on GFY...

personally I don't think the kids should be in the office you work on porn in..

I hate that banner. The Giga Cash banner is cool, and the one that played Metallica a couple months ago, but one thats cumming is just lame.

Don't like sound on surfer sites.. guess it's not so bad on webmaster sites, but personally I mute the volume anyway.

I always like to chime in on these threads - I HATE the banners that have porn sounds. I have been on the phone and had it go off, it fucking sucks. I don't really mind the music ones.

Anyhow, because of the porn sound banners I scroll down when I hit a page so the top banner doesn't show. This isn't really fair to the other advertisers who don't have the shitty sound in their banners. At least if they made it so the sound stopped as soon as you weren't mousing over the banner, but noooooo.

How? I can't save or view properties. And when I "viewed source" for the page I didn't see the banner code anywhere..

The best way to send a message is dont sign up for people that use sounds on banners or dont click on those banners or unsign up and let them know why. That will send a clear cut message.
