Forums - General - Annoying ads ruin VGCHARTZ!

Since the great news of new adverts on VGchartz has graced the site, I have been hearing annoying sounds of smileys talking, yelling and soft porn adverts playing cheese music whilst I look for peace and tranquility; reading, socialising and debating gaming. It's so annoying I have had to take time out and write a thread on the topic.

 

Anyone else feel the same way?

p.s. where are the America numbers?

Adblock or script block them all. I was apalled at the ads when I visited this on chrome. What's with all the bells and whistles?

maybe you should try firefox and something I don't know the name of.



if you read some of the update threads/news posts, then you would know that the deal with Giant Realms brought in all new game related ads along with ads targeted at 18-35yo males.

Hopefully if those are successful, they will replace all the ipod, smiley and other such crappy ads and it will be more like IGN or whoever in terms of ad types.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
