Now they have SOUND!!!! That's never happened before and it's BLOODY annoying when you're listening to music whilst browsing

This a a GREAT way of getting rid of people off the forum.

They never bothered me before, I see no reason to get rid of them.

You can turn the sound off on them, but then they reload in a different place with the sound on.

You have a noise cancelling mag?
🙂

Anyway, that's very counter productive for STW.
Someone that didn't mind adverts and even occasionally clicked on one (ME!) now has no adverts at all.
Took about 5 clicks to get rid of the lot.

Same here. Schol one - its happened before but not for a while, its not something STW towers will be happy about. Nothing clicked to activate it. Was about to email the site admins rather than make an unseemly fuss on the forum 🙂

Now you can email them instead, I'm going to make coffee

There's just adverts with pretty women in tight fitting clothes and a guilt trip one with a small child with a bad cleft lip. I thought this was a family forum

there is only 2 and it is noise cancelling, something to do with all the greats articles and such. I'm only covering the CRC final end of worls asteroid coming (only 29r 1.5" steerer 220mm forks in the sale) sale and one for a t shirt from a mag I know exists already 🙂

All my adds are tents. even though I (might) work in a place that does this clever software based target marketing - thats scary.

what hillclimber said.

I can see the ban hammer being waved at some of the above posters for discussing that which must not be discussed.

Luckily I have my speakers turned off at work...and I ignore the adverts or I'd end up buying stuff I don't want/need

Ads that autoplay sound are not allowed on our site. I need to find where this one is coming from so I can put a rocket up someone's

To kill it properly I'll need a url of the site it links too. If anyone can email me that while I look that would be great ta.

Sorry for the noisy ads. We hate them as much as you do.

[i]There was another one for strepsils [/i]

*Imagines coughing, spluttering and sucking noises worsened by a bunged up nose*

... I'm glad I missed that
