first of all, black spider stop being a smartass ok.. course dev can turn the speakers off, but as he said it's annoying and why the [censored] should he turn his speakers just because of a banner ? but it's also weird, i visit UGN all the time, everyday and i never got anything like that. i just have one banner here.. the bonzy buddy.. agrhh.. one day i'll hack that [censored] company.. i swear to god, it's really pissing me off. Originally posted by Gizmo: It is a banner . The advertising company dicks us around so much that its rediculous. Just wait for Cat to finnish the design then we'll have a few suprises .few surprises ? oh well.. gotta wait untill i finish those gfx too.. anyway hope Cat is doing good. see ya'll

I really think that, spaming someone with, banners, pop-ups, pup-unders, and now with singing banners, and god knows what else, will not help anyone ! I mean, really, who the hell clicks on all the pop-ups and all the banners ? When all you'll get by clicking on them are even more pop-ups. And now, to make things even more stupid, when you install something like PopupKiller, they have pop-ups that detect that you have PopupKiller, and will not let you enter the site, and will spam you with a really stupid message like : "Turn It Off NOW, or this message will keep apearing !!!". So you see, there is no end to this. It's all [censored]. There are banners that are ok, because they don't do much to anoy the user (except the more recent ones that scare the [censored] out of you with the weird sounds), but what I really hate are Popups, and I hope that UGN will never have to use something like this.

Yeah the host file thing is awesome.
BlackSpider- No offense, but I think you are a [censored] idiot. If people have their speakers on then usually it is for a reason. And I am guessing he listens to music most of the time, or enjoys the sounds and background music of websites and video. You aren't making any points at all. Advertising is annoying as hell, and audio advertisements cross the line. You do not just accept [censored] like this and say you can close popups. If I email you every day, you could just delete them. Or, you could block me. But it only takes a second to delete them.
Your point that UGN has to advertise is beside the point. I might be wrong, but I am pretty sure Advertising.com isn't giving gizmo any more money for those [censored] talking banners. And even so, that is still over the line.
The hosts file thing helps incredibly. Also, if you get alot of popups at the sites you go to, I suggest a pop up killer, PUK 4 was ok, but I have heard there are better ones.
Ignoring a problem does not make it go away. Solving the problem does.
Edit: added After posting I saw there was a second page. He does listen to music. Oh and as suspected, advertising.com is another way of saying "assholes."
