spacey Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Can we not have stuff like this? Don't you guys screen the ads? I just about jumped out of my chair this morning when some teleshopper voice starting trying to sell me this junk.

TheSarge Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 What kind of a moron do you have to be to buy this thing over the internet.. for $30. You can probably find something like it at ****ing wallmart for $5. But, could whoever is responsible for picking the ads on Neowin please kick the fine folks at SmartSpin sqaure in the nuts? Right in the goddamm macidamians. I really would apreciate it if someone would do that to them. :angry: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/268056-stupid-ads-with-audio/#findComment-585249546 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurmoth Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I haven't gotten any talking ads yet, but I have been getting some pop-ups :( Thankfully I use Firefox 99% of the time, so it doesn't really bother me.

xplatinum Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I did get around 10 audio ads in my life... and one on neowin just yesterday. Annoying to say the least.

DannyGlass Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I havent even had one popup on neowin yet... And three of the pcs i use dont have any sort of popup blockers.

BTallack Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I was actually just coming to this S&FI to make a thread about these ads. It's the only type of ad that annoys me worse than Pop-ups. And I block Pop-ups. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/268056-stupid-ads-with-audio/#findComment-585250589 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSarge Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I wouldn't be so annoying if it was tech-releated.. no, scratch that: It would still be very annoying even if it was tech-related. Please, no more of this crap. :no: We come here to read the articles and the news, not to be subjected to some idiot blathering on about storage containers. I suppose it's probably a nice fat cash cow for you, Neowin, but ask yourself how profitable it really is if it's gonna drive your readership away.

You're really a jackass. Read around a little bit more, and you will see different. I remember when here only used Google ads because of how frequent popups were. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if Neowin actually didn't make enough money to justify their server costs anyway.

calidude Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 I had a pop up on Neowin yesterday, but my pop up blocker stopped it. I have had them a few times in the past as well.

Trunten Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 I've never had ads with sound on Neowin before. I use to get pop ups, but I think it might've been adware/spyware because after I ran a scan I never got them again.
