best_uv_d_best Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 judging by the other replies to complaints about the ads, i say it's likely nothing will be done... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForkliftDude Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 the ad catalogue for neowin will start running dry if you want all semi-annoying ads to be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmak Administrators Posted February 9, 2004 Administrators Share Posted February 9, 2004 judging by the other replies to complaints about the ads, i say it's likely nothing will be done... Where did I ever reply I won't do anything about the ads? I delete annoying ads whenever I can. I'm constantly trying to find a balance between our income and keeping you guys happy :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best_uv_d_best Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 (edited) Where did I ever reply I won't do anything about the ads?I delete annoying ads whenever I can. I'm constantly trying to find a balance between our income and keeping you guys happy :yes: all of my humble apologies. i was making that statement based on the replies of other mods/admins in the forum. until now i don't believe any of us had been told that these were being dealt with. Of course most reasonable people know that the completely remove the ads is stupid... just to make things blunt. But some of these ads are very very disruptive to the quality of the forums that have made Neowin what it is. all that's left to say is... Thanks :D btw... whats going on with the speed issues?

Wannes Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I never saw a sound ad, but I am sure it would be annoying. It would be to me and also to other users. Especially when listening to music. :p -Couch Potao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMeK Veteran Posted February 11, 2004 Author Veteran Share Posted February 11, 2004 i dont mind normal adverts i can cope with ones that flash and even popups but when the advert has a bloody noise in it it gets to me it goes of in the background and i have to refresh the page im on to get rid of it :( if you could get rid of this advert i would appreciate it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alero Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 another annoying ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldo Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 I don't mind any flashing/flash/banner/popup ads (FireFox blocks those) - but sound is incredibly anoying, espeically if you have 15 tabs open when you've trawled through the neowin forums.

Wannes Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 I said that I never saw a sound ad, which then links to the add and the sound coming along. Of course you hear sound but the ad still gets displayed. :) -Couch Potato? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
