This site is becomming unusable.

Every 2 clicks I get a full page tomb rider commercial that also bugs 1/2 the time and the "skip add" button never appears.... So I have to refresh....which apparently counts as 1 click too.

Basically everytime i open a page I lose 15 secs due to your commercials, add to this the 30 sec commercial on all videos (as they have the tomb rider buggy add too) and i'm spending more time loading adds than actuall site content. Oh yeah and all the pages are plastered with adds too, so they a nice long time to load....

 

Sorry but it's time to load up adblocks on my work comp ^^, you've crossed my add tolerance line.

Care or not, your choice, it's my feedback but it's your revenues.

 

Add NoScript if you using Firefox and block all the advert severs.

on this site i am blocking

Exponential, 2mdn, fastclick, adlink, gamerdna, quantserve, mookie1, adtech, intergi, doubleclick and tribalfusion.

What I find annoying are the auto play adverts.

I have to have my computer on mute. It hurts my feelings.



Nothing worse than going to a thread to see a video, only to have annoying auto-play adverts runnings.

What makes it even worse than that is that sometimes I will locate and mute all of them, only to find out that there is one more, but the video itself isn't diplaying but still running, making it impossible to mute it.

 Hell, sometimes I even mute them but then when they finish and begin again, it un-mutes them.

It really is getting ridiculous. I tend to browse on my phone these days unless I am at work and unfortunately VGChartz is ABSOLUTELY horrendous on mobile devices because of the excessive amount of advertising.

 

Want to hit us what a video ad? Alright, I understand you need the revenue.

However, please do not hit me with 4-6 of them on one page, because that doesn't even include the other 5-6 ads on that same page.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

seriously lol, i open up two or three tabs and i have like 20 videos all talking to me, its annoying as hell. i never found a reason to use adblock before this, but if i want to come ot this site i pretty much have to have it up all the time because of the rediculous amount of advertising here



My favorite part is when the Rift advertisement hijacks my whole screen.

I know how you feel. Been making mental notes of what things I have to never buy as they ****** me off so much.
