My guess is that it's more about branding then other things

I never had problems with those banners

firefox.

You have a very large mouth. Ofcourse you are a very large man.

You should also keep in mind those guys with those banners are PAYING to have a sig the size of yours, and you arent forking over a cent.

After seeing how many people block flash banners, I'd be surprised not to see some change in them.

The sound banners are bad because of a couple things. Sometimes you don't want to have someone yelling some obscenity or adult phrase while you are working. Some work in offices, some work around family and kids. I know this is the adult industry, but some of us still have to keep some sort of privacy when we are working.

I think some of you forget how unobtrusive the advertising on GFY is. The nano second that you have sound from a banner as you mouseover it can't really have you guys on edge this bad could it?

I think some of you are forgetting how much business you have gotten from here, and in some cases without a single dime out of pocket.

This may be a good time to reflect on the big picture of things, instead of the miniscule items that are just trying to get your attention for a millisecond.

Just don't surf GFY while on the phone.. :1orglaugh

What I don't understand is: if this is something that really pisses of everybody, why don't they quit doing it???

The only sound banner that doesn't annoy me is the OC one

i dont care about that really... my music is mostly louder then that noise

50......... :arcadefre

What about the fact that the members of this board are what makes this board?

The more obtrusive ads there are the more people who will do what they can to block ads (therefore making the ads completely redundant) and not promote a program.

Advertising on GFY is most definitely not unobtrusive. You'r'e kidding yourself if you think that. I have no problem with sigs and banners all over the place but the sound on mouse over is really over the top. Judging by the remarks in this thread most people go out of their way to not click on or join programs that advertise like this.

Perhaps you should take note of the words expressed in this thread and adjust advertising to suit?

I head rumors that sleazy is buying www.gofuckyourhobbit.com to make a bannerless webmasterboard, and only his fake nicks can post on there

It's definitely a two way street. GFY promotes us and we promote it.
