Title: Banner ads with sound?
Post by: Ace on October 09, 2002, 08:10:47 AM: Oh man, I clicked on this forum and my speakers were turned up and BOOM, a Verisign ad with sound.

How many ways can web advertising become annoying?

Post by: Kurt Angle on October 09, 2002, 08:37:43 AM: I\'ve never heard it on this site, some other sites have them all the time though (very irritating).

Post by: Jerchel on October 09, 2002, 09:16:31 AM: Nice. When I put ads on my forums I\'ll make sure not to have any with sound. Thanks for the heads up on what you thank about them.

Post by: MPTheory on October 09, 2002, 10:56:35 AM: yeah, No one wants to hear about your stupid forum in here. There isnt much that bothers me, but for some reason, you do. I will never understand why you come to a forum to talk about your forum. Go talk to the people that post there to ask what they like and dont like. Just dont annoy us with it.

Post by: kopking on October 09, 2002, 12:12:08 PM: i never go online with the speakers on, unless i had them on b4..... dont think ill have them on when i come here for sure now.... maybe a mod can make a button on main forum part where u can turn music/sound etc on/off

Post by: Dajona on October 09, 2002, 01:32:28 PM: Sound in ads is very annoying. All these stupid new Flash ads have sound. It\'s terrible and sometimes they scare the heck our of me cause it is usually pretty quiet while I\'m on the computer.

Post by: Titan on October 09, 2002, 01:57:51 PM: First time I heard that, it scared the shit out of me. I was like, "WTF was that?" I can\'t listen to music anymore because it suprises me and is there.
