Forums - Website Topics - Ad on VGC ruining the fun

Okay,

so there is this annoying ad in VGC that drives me crazy. It is a German one I think. Every time I click on the forums (and the nerd that I am, I am doing this quite a lot) The ad starts. Well I wouldn't mind the ad, but it automatically plays a sound and runs for 30 secs.

It is an ad for a laundry detergent (VANISH). Please make it stop.

Well, there are certain extensions for adblocking.... But I'm not going to give tips for that, since the admins don't like these addons. It also blocks the revenues for the administrator, since the ads don't get clicks.

playing right now: Xenoblade Chronicles

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped:  the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

who cares if the admins don't like these addons. If an advert is annoying I'm blocking it. What are they going to ban me for it. I go to another website if that's the case. lol



I did not want to start a discussion about the use of adblockers.

Just please stop ads that play sound automatically. This is annoying and makes VGC less attractive.

absolutely

I don't mind normal adds, but I'll instantly block those that are overly intruding or coded so badly that they slow down my PC (god there are some awful flash programmers making some of these adds - flash is the internets poison anyway).

I seem to remember seeing a forum like this before. I think they talked to ioi about it and he asked the ad company to take it down. Also, some ad blockers will let you only block certain ads if you don't want to block everything for some reason. They make the site run much faster.

lol? hating Adobe makes me an Apple-fan ? both companies are bullshit

still, flash is a train-wreck of a code and the more a site uses it the less enjoyable it is to use that site
