Ok, I'm not here to complain about something moving around, but there's this ad that does seizure around, salying that your the 1 billionth or something visitor, but the thing that's annoying is...

IT BEEPS.

It gets really hard to read an entire passage of the ZSC when there's an ad beeping going beep...beep...beep...beep...! When I keep on refreshing, the same ad just keeps on coming up too! Is there a way for dan or anyone else to take the ad off the site and replace it?

Really? I've never seen this advertisement on AG yet alone hear one beep. The ads I see are mostly on games.

Maybe you could just mute it or refresh the page.

I normally refresh, but it takes like, 10 tries in order to get it off, also, there's the new Mabinogi ad, which lags my computer.

I'm sure it didn't, and it hasn't showed up for a while...so I guess it's gone.

thanks to anyone that listened, though.

I have never gotten that on this site ever. EVER. And I have been here a long time. I don't remember it having a beeping sound either. When there's an annoying ad just leave your sound turned off and get ad blocker, simple as that.

Addblock Plus for Firefox and FlashBlock for Firefox.

These are all you need to stop annoying ads such as these. Even the beeping ones. This blocks IMVU, Smiley ads, and MMO ads, plus anything else that uses flash. Firefox can naturally be able to block straight-up images, so that should be fine. Use these, if you don't want to use the computer while taking aspirin. XD

I quite dislike that ad too mate, I'm sure I'm not the 999,999 user to their site, so why bother is what I say.

well you know if you are using windows vista (and i'm sure many other sensible operating systems) you can turn the volume off for one single application at a time.. but other than that, i don't know what to suggest, there was also this smiley add that kept shouting 'heloooo!?' at intervals...wouldnt even stop if i clicked it...why???

Wouldn't a download of a Firefox special control them popping up?

Thanks, that helped me a lot.

Well...I come everyday to AG to play some minutes in Drunken Masters, and i've never saw any ad that makes any kind of sound.
