MMORPG.com has time to remove annoying posters but not annoying ads. Which one gives them more money? I wonder if that has anything to do with it...

Originally posted by Death1942 Originally posted by Jefferson81 Originally posted by Dexy I'm using the new google browser at the moment so i don't have an add blocker. This wasn't much of a problem up until 5 mins ago when i had the misfortune of coming onto a page with a flash advertisement for ace online. Its loud as hell, so completely invasive... and it LOOPS! What i ask is the point of looping a loud advertisement indefinitely? I had a BBC iPlayer window open on the other screen so i couldn't use the mixer in vista to turn crome down. Seriously i was happy enough to leave advertisements on as i wasn't too bothered (which suprised me) but as soon as a blocker is released for crome ill be using it. I realise advertisments = revenue.... but invasive advertisments like this just get people irrated, and give ad blocking software another user. And it doesn't do the game any favors either. Just turn off the speakers if it bothers you that much. quiet, we cant have a logical solution to this problem. Blood must be spilled, someone needs to be sacrificed to the great forum gods... Good solution! Next turn off your monitor if you don't pop up ads or those annoying hyper neon flashing adds either. Maybe close your browser if you find something irritating on the internet. Advertisements like this one are the reason people write ad blockers... which works directly against the very nature of websites like this one. What a vicious circle it is indeed. All snarking aside, I couldn't figure out what that noise was. It was coming through like static while I was playing MP3's. Static on an MP3! Madness I tell you! Madness!

Originally posted by TRD87 We have received your complaints, and the advertisement team has been contacted. Thank you for your cooperation. TRD Loving how we finally get a reply so the ad team decides to play the ad more often. Appreciate it. Thanks really.

Hello Guys, I am really sorry about this. Normally I have to approve ALL ads that go live here. I do not allow annoying ads like this and I strictly forbid the use of audio (unless it is user initiated and fitting, like playing a trailer). Apparently the advertiser had a "core" flash ad that was streaming in the meat of the ad from an outside source - something we allow, but we still require approval of all changes. Long story short, the ads are shutoff and the advertiser will need to comply before we can turn them back on. Again, I am very sorry and I think our long time members know this kind of advertising is not our style. - MMORPG.COM Staff -

Originally posted by Daffid011 CHEER! Thank you! And you are correct, ad blockers are a major issue and will eventually result in a "paid" Internet much like cable TV. If you don't like a websites ad practices (we think ours are very polite) then stop visiting the website. Ad blockers are no different than stealing. - MMORPG.COM Staff -

But.. let me say I strongly disagree on ad blockers being no different than stealing.
