How Many Of U Will Sign Up Via That Stupid Boxing Banner?
 

How many people here have signed up or are thinking about signing up via that Stupid anoying Boxing Banner that keeps popping up going DingDing, Ding Ding?????

If U dont wanna post that cool just fill in da poll...

I know I won't signup, It just Annoys Me

I won't, that banner annoys the fuck outta me:mad:

You guys won't push one of the industry's top programs because of a banner - wow

This is not about the program its about the banner its self and wether or not it works as far as getting sign ups, or is just Fucking annoying???...

After all there are better ways to get people to signup especiually for a leading program, than to annoy the fuck put of 'em

I like the banner, but Joel's face is too pretty to hit.

I lost your business card . . . can you ICQ me please?

Nope, never would. I consider the banner to be very impolite, a Zango-ish interruption in my visits to this board. Anyone who is that willing to abuse my attention here will likely do something equally as dumb later.

You get one chance to make a first impression, that the impression I get is a group of people willing to get in my face to try to get me to sign up. If their products are good and such, they don't need it.

Answer is no.

if something annoys me, im not going to devote my efforts towards it..

If a company needs to do that kind of stuff to get my attention, I don't think they are right for me.

I Agree :pimp

I signed up 3x

K, np, Keep 'em cumin... I really wanna know how well this method of advertising / annoying people into signing up really works???

If they used Franck instead, I'm sure their CTR would have been huge.

Yup.

The banner actually scared the hell out of me a few times when my 7.1 speakers were 'on' and I was surfing peacefully and then suddenly.. ding ding..dang.. wtf?

Was just wondering how many of you actually played the game?

Your not alone, I've read up, quite a few hav already gotten scared from that shit... DING, DING,DING DING... God Damn

Stop All banners with sound, anyways I think it hurts the company more then anything. :2 cents:

Sum are actually tolerable atleast... They dont go off / play unless U hover over 'em.. But This one DING, DING, DING Shit man :Oh crap

Don't even know or care who's banner it is, as soon as I hear it, I hit refresh to get rid of it. It's a waste of space.

Got That Right!

Keep 'em cuming guys, I'll be checking Poll results and or comments on this DING, DING, DING shit....

You forgot the "I don't see them because the sound banners ruined it for ALL the GFY sponsors because I just adblock them all now. Sound banners don't just hurt the stupid sponsors that choose to use them..... they hurt all the GFY sponsors." choice in your poll.

Well, not necessarily because of the banner, but because of the relationship with xxxtoolbar and the trojans and malware it installs.

I agree :thumbsup

exactly - i don't see any banners anymore now

Me Neither :)

I could not figure out where the sound was coming from.... Then when I did, I knocked the guy out and at first thought I won something, once I found out I didn't win anything I was a bit disappointed...

I am turning of my ads now... I have a fresh format and havn't done that yet.. Thanks for reminding me! GFY rocks with out the loud ass banners :thumbsup

Funny thing... I clicked on this thread the annoying banner popped up to validate your point LOL!

I didn't even know which company it was promoting until I saw it in another thread title. I just hit reload if I hear that stupid banner.

What site is it even for? I refresh instantly the 2nd it starts blasting loud noises and bells. Either way, they really should fire whoever created that stupid crap.

With that adblock thing can I block adds on certin sites? EX just gfy?

I have norton internet security and it blocks all ads... but I caan choose to show ads on a site if I want by clicking a button

ROFLMAO...as soon as I voted, the page refreshed and that stupid banner was there.

How's that for irony?

At least the annoying flash banners of the past didn't play sound unless you moused over them...this thing starts fucking blaring the second the page loads, it's fucking insulting if you ask me.

I'm not saying I'd never do business with a company that tried a marketing gimmick like this...BUT...if after hearing all of the webmasters complain they still leave it up, then I know they don't give a fuck what webmasters want and I'll never send them a single click.

worse banner ever

it's annoying a lot

You'd think after all the complaints that are made about sound banners people would stop using then all together....

No, you'd think that the OTHER sponsors would talk to GFY about not allowing them since more and more people use adblockers to just block all of the GFY banners. The bad apples always ruin it for the others.

I'd love to unblock the GFY banners, as I like to see what people are promoting but not when the sound ones scare the shit out of me in the middle of the night.
