Has anyone been driven to insanity by the Mosquito Ad.

I have a headach everytime that comes up which is 90% of the time.

Please get it off the website. I hate going to this website because of it!

IMAGE REMOVED AS IT WAS LINKED FROM ANOTHER SITE (NOT PERMITTED AS STATED IN THE SIGN-UP PAGE) AND WAS REALLY SLOWING THINGS DOWN!

YES!
That ad is the most annoying ad I have ever experienced.

Another very annoying ad is the one that litterely shouts for you "type somehing in the box".

Do we

thats why I use a little firefox addon called "adblock"   you can block frames, images, scripts, and stuff.

Occasionally bad ads appear.

We use an agency for our top banners & they will often use 3rd party agencies as we have around 8M page views/week & low click through.

I do my best to track down & remove annoying ads whenever I can. Removing these ads makes little or no difference to ad revenue - but the problem is often finding our where they are coming from as there are 100's of possible sources.

On a positive note they usually get removed anyway as we aren't the only ones to be irritated by them.

Thansk for the heads up.

What the heck are you talkin about?

You can choose not to play sounds from internet pages if you wish so, I'm sure you can do it in IE and you're likely to be able to do the same in Firefox.

You expect people to tun off  web page sounds because of offending web ads?

I don't think so, this would be like giving in to to the things that are slowly runing the net.
This would be like  abandoning e-mail because of SPAM and saying the spamers won!

I prefer to fight to remove the offences.

As I previoulsy said, " "If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem"

Alright matey calm down! Steady steady.  ::)

If you dont use your email the spammers haven't won, they've lost, they want you to buy thier products.

Evidently, the concept is lost on you.

It's still here.  I've gone so far to venture to this forum for an answer.  I guess I'm a bit hypocritical because I'm too lazy to look for a real answer, but I tend to listen to music a lot.  Thus.. I'm drawn to linking straight to the forums instead of the site.. which I'm sure isn't what you guys are looking for.

Please, remove the ad.
