Seeking ideas to make people less upset about the ads - Page 18

By the way, if you object to a specific ad, please either post below with that ad and say why, or PM me with the info. Please either download the specific ad panel you have a problem with and post it or PM it to me, or if it is flash rather than a pic file, please screenshot it.

Please don't just PM me with a link to the file, the link is likely to the advertising company rather than to the website where the ad links to.

Thanks

This is the popup that is still happening as of oh... 10 minutes ago:

It's also nice in that it locks your browser. You can't do anything with your browser till you kill the popup.

Thanks, I"m on this, only problem is my contact at the ad agency won't be in until tomorrow morning, I can't get the ad removed until then.

Really sorry, she indicated they'd all been removed. This will be removed tomorrow.

I have to say I admire the creativity of this one:

Sexual double entendre without being NSFW FTW.

I have no problem with adds. It would be nice though if the adds were a bit more "worker friendly". Adds for shocking videos or busty ladies (as much as I like them) are not appropriate for my periods of slacking at work.

I'm definitely negotiating hard to get this ad agency's "video game" channel rather than what we're getting now.

So far I like these people a lot, they are very nice and responsive.

Thanks for your patience as we go through tuning all this. As it turns out, coming up with an ad solution has taken more of my time than the rest of the site put together, at least for the past month. I could probably write a book on this when we're finally set.

Before anyone goes nutzoid about this, I know:

This other new "systemdoctor" ad is the same as the "drivecleaner" ad I complained about earlier. It is a pop up that you can't get rid of, by clicking cancel, it just keeps opening additional windows and you have to eventually crash your browser or reboot your system to stop it.

Please remove the systemdoctor, drivecleaner, and all similar ads from my site as soon as you can. My users are going nuts about this.

Thank you

LFG, your users will go really nuts if some of them install WinFixer (aka DriverCleaner, SystemDoctor etc) somehow.

There is a (mostly useless) lawsuit against them with an intesting info:

According to Sandi Hardmeier, a Microsoft MVP, “Advertising networks have had trouble with Winfixer ads suddenly being served up by their networks despite no affiliation with its creators.” At one time Winfixer even began showing up in Microsoft’s MSN Messenger windows!

fucking tired of being noticed i can DL 3D screensaver, or to get the lasted anna nicolsmith video (huh?).

i cant go to this site as much as often at work becuase the animated shit grab my cooworker attention. i think i ll stop using this site all together.

ho btw you will never receive 10$ from me.
this site has too much loose it s first meaning to be even worth it: on class boards we see the same questions as on the official boards some dumbass noob polluting the boards (winwin??).
and the stuff going on on the unrest boards with a moderator being voted for... what the fuck.
