It's like a ad between posts. /-------------------------------\ |Hi I have a bla bla bla bla bla| --------------------------------- \-------------------------------/ |Get a free psp by clicking link| \------------------------------/ /------------------------------\ |I am so leaving this forum....| \------------------------------/ I wish they never went to hell with ad's on the net. Now it's just crazy. No wonder people block them all the time. |

MSFN is the only site I know of that shows them to registered users though, as if the ads at the top and bottom of every page aren't enough.  I had actually made a Proxomitron filter to allow Google ads to load in a hidden box that I could click to show, but MSFN's putting them at the top and bottom of the page prompted me to just block them entirely because for some reason those ones would load soooooo slow.  |

| Some of the advertising that annoys me, is on a realestate website I go to -- four actual listings, then an ad... four listings... ad....
Really annoys me, I'm there to look into finding a place to live... I don't like the "interruption". |

Originally posted by Black Lord +YA RLY There are so many annoying ads that I find it easiest to describe the type that don't annoy me. Text ads clearly separated from the content and relevant to the content (namely, Google's AdWords) don't get in my way, and they are more likely to interest me than some random subject that has nothing to do with what I'm reading. Google's sponsored links are similarly OK. Sometimes when I search for something, I'm looking for a place to buy it, so the sponsored links can be very helpful in that regard. I also don't mind inobtrusive banners. In a nutshell, show me something relevant that doesn't get in the way of the content, and I'll leave it be. The rest gets BALEETED with AdBlock. If I have to say which ads I hate the most, I'd go with the ones that make sound. What knuckle-dragging bottom-feeding nimrod came up with the brilliant idea of interrupting people's music or quiet with some inane loud noise? "Well, we could try to come up with an interesting ad that people will want to click on, but that involves work! Let's just annoy them until they click the ad to shut it up!" Haven't they ever heard of people forming negative associations with brands? |

In 2003 I always used some shareware tool called Ad-muncher- it was extremely aggressive and even got rid of the little 88x31 buttons  . That tool was a fricking need anyway, especially since the P100 doesn't have the power to load every 100kb gif / flash applet on the page(edited by leileilol on 09-03-06 03:28 PM) |

Rydain ftw. I don't understand the logic but advertisers seem to want to annoy people into buying from them these days. You know what I do to people who annoy me? At best, I leave, at worst, I punch them in the nose. I certainly don't buy things from them. The only ads I can stand are plain text or small nonmoving banners, that blend in with the page well, load fast, and aren't in the way. Unfortunately Google is the only company I know of that did these any good. Before they started using banners and Flash I was actually considering putting Google ads on my website, at least after I redesign it to have enough content to be worth the effort.  |

| The worst are the ones that know where I live, so it's dating websites or some such that say, "Meet attractive sigles in Ruston, La." And then have pictures of some generic girls who in no way live anywhere near anyone or have profiles on any such website. I mean seriously, that's both somewhat invasive AND insulting. | |||

| I use Adblock, but it seems to be of little / no benefit on that realestate website.
Unless I want to block all pictures...
It annoys me that they're just advertising real estate companies, none of whom are actually any help to a person looking for a rental property... |

Originally posted by Kasdarack Combine that with porn ads and that's what I get on torrent sites. I agree, invasive and annoying as hell to see some chick's ass hanging on my screen when I'm trying to do other things with other people possibly around. |

Even worse when you're not wearing pants because it's @#$!$#@% hot out. Happened to me.

| I should go seek one of those ads with a proxy on, just for the gimmick of seeing them say "meet local girls in saudi arabia!". Screenshot and then a "... that was dissatisfying =( ". Then never bother pasting it to paint |
