Jesus fucking Christ - stop the talking fucking banners already
God damn it - PLEASE stop the fucking talking banners. there is NO GOD DAMN NEED FOR THEM. quite giving into those that want them, they will buy ads anyway or others will buy ads.
having them drives away the better surfers to other boards. they are a pain in the God damn ass and they make this site LESS usable instead of more usable. testiment to who is buying them is that the people who do CHEAT -my understanding was that the banners arn't suppose to continue to make noise when your mouse moves off them, but some of the current ones DON'T and continue to talk - PROOF that the people who want such things are those that arn't even worth advertising for as they don't play by the rules. unless adult.com is in such financial shape that it DESPRITLY needs the couple hundred extra dollars?????? I doubt that's the case but if the talking banners continue people WILL start to talk.

Just put the ad server in your hosts file and be done with it.

It was that boobiebucks fart banner that started the whole phenomenon...Maybe there were talking banners before that one, but it REALLY got bad after that fart banner.

I haven't seen a flash banner in months...so if you're an advertiser and using flash banners then you're wasting your money.
You may have a great product and a non-intrusive ad but I will never see it due to those who have violated the gfy member's trust. |

Problem is, the ad server is the main gfy server, so that won't work.
I use firefox with adblock, and only block the ones with audio. Sleazy, just go to www.getfirefox.com, download, install. Once installed, go to Tools, Extensions, Get More Extensions and install Adblock. It will add a small tab to flash adds that you can click to get rid of them forever. |

I have to say that they are quite annoying. I think it kind of drives away any clicks it might have received because of its annoyance.

After having the sound go off over and over again, I finally broke down and Adblocked all the GFY banners. I NEVER Adblock webmaster banners, but unfortunetly I did it for every banner on GFY. The sound/flash banners ruined it for everyone. If I was a sponsor I'd be very upset, and be demanding that all the sound banners be banned.

I agree 100% with Sleazy. They are obnoxious and intrusive into your workplace.

Wow... You guys must be the same people that complain about Parties at Internext where you get free booze and free entertainment and yet walk away saying the party sucked. Sorry for your 5 seconds of inconvenience that supports the community that you spend the majority of your time gaining entertainment from.
Would you complain about a free ticket to Hawaii too if you had to fly and hear a jet engine the whole way?

That Dark Cavern one is not allowed. I think the key is that they have to STOP when you mouse out. The ones that don't need to be NUKED. And if one slips by, we need to know about it.
If anyone else has a better idea to get the banners noticed, I'm all ears (pardon the pun). |

since when is it good business sense to cater to 5% of your clients (those with talking banners) who represent 5% of your revenue at the EXPENSE of the other 95%?

I have friends who are advertisers here, and all have said the return is extremely low. So really, advertisers sometimes keep the ADs up out of good faith and for the love of this forum. But they are still getting assfucked because of other banners crying for attention with annoying sounds that wont stop. But then again, who can blaim them? They need to be loud to be noticed, I'm sure being placed in such a huge rotation is not fun. Hell, I remember having to refresh a shit load of times to catch the dollars.com banner (I was looking for it) I also really find it weird that the "big board names" are NOW stepping up on this, because in the past the banners were a lot more annoying and intrusive. Most banners these days are "okay." I even like some of them, mostly Dollars.com. I guess because the sound reflects something related to biz. Summary: -People with traffic and brains have flash disabled. -Advertisers will not get what they pay for, and shit will have a downfall eventually. Somewhere down the line changes will have to be made. -The board members is what makes this forum function and grow to what it is, not the faulty and non existant features. People who have been here since 2001 have spoken up, doesnt that say something? Remember wen Person A leaves Location A, himself and all his friends will slowly but surely move onto Location B where they are treated better The above is obviously personal views and random ranting, so fuck off if you feel the need to argue with me.
