just a pet peeve of mine...
ads are fine and i understand that they are the major source of income for these kind of sites. Banner ads are ok and i can deal with popups (or my popup blocker can) but i cannot for the life of me stand the talking ads. Every page i click i get something like "congratulations, you have been selected to recieve 2 free ipod nanos". I wouldn't mind if it was only on the main page, but its on every single page on the main site! I just gets kind of annoying. I still love simV and always will.

Why don't you just turn your speakers off if it annoys you so?

I like to listen to music while I'm on the internet sometimes, and turning my speakers of makes that incredibly difficult. ;)

I think I've won 286 IPod Nanos now, I wonder when I'll be getting them....

No response audio ads (ones that sound without clicking) are a no no.

I shall try to track this down & eliminate it.[smiley=evil.gif]

It can take 50K ads before anyone mentions these. I personally haven't had an audio ad since the last time I deleted one many months ago.


Apologies for the irritation!!
