The most annoying thing about those adds is when they open multiple times on one page and the echoing is even worse than the audio adds themselves...

Prior experience. We weren't allowed to mention Ad block. The way I see it, having such obnoxious ads makes people just want to block all ads on VGChartz so less revenue for them.

That's exactly what I was trying to say. VGC is hurting itself.

This ads really starting to piss me of. If i want those ad blocker i must install google chrome first than install taht ad blocker and hopefully it work. I personally have a internet modem and only 3 GB of use. So those ads illuminate my internet value really fast. So please vg charts, Stop this shitty tv ads.

There are ad block's for other browsers as well, just so you know.

I know. This was the first thing i do when i saw all this shitty ads. But the blocker doesnt work. And i dont have the patience to try 5 or ten ad blockers to hopefully find one that maybe help in this situation. Vg charts is a really good site but this ads are some of the stupid things they ever do. Other sites have ads as well but not in this way. This is definitaly the wrong way.

Yeah, that can't be denied. Hopefully they won't be brought to the new site.

Ads with audio on any site simply prompts me to close the tab/window and that's generally how I respond to them. We could at least be subject to less commercials and ads as logged in members, seeing as how most of the income will come from visitors and guests anyhow.

Hmm... that's actually a great idea. Do this VGC! Please.
