Im not usually easily annoyed but I just have to say that the Crazy Frog/Axel F advert on the site has really got to me!
There I was just browsing some posts and BOOM - that ******ing tune came out of my speakers!
Im all for adverts (i appreciate the situation) but could we have an advert with no sound? I know I could disable sounds when browsing but its just the surprise of it all that annoyed me the most. Hopefully by me entering "crazy frog" a few times in this post it will generate a few more hits via Google anyway!!!!
Anyway I now feel better after my little rant
::-peace-::
ps- if I type "parent directory" "index of" "crazy frog axel f.mp3" "port 80" "apache" do you think the view count of this post might go through the roof? lol

Bear in mind that without these ads it would be not possible to run this website popup free. I am sure ScinteX mean a banner ad with audio after IntelliTXT text links have no sound.

The bloody thing annoys the crap out of me too, just imagine how many idiots must be buying it, they put the f'ing advert on twice during one break on some channels, and on some it's back to back! Frog isnt THE most annoying though, that damn stupid dragon thing annoys me more, so does that chick. ;(
Ah to hell with it, burn all mobile ringtone adverts!

Hi Philipp thx for posting back.
Just to make it crystal clear im really really not moaning as such and adverts arent a big deal normally!
The ad is the one on the right of the screen under the heading of 'sponsor'- I saved the page (it just displayed again)- it links to
http://bannerfarm.ace.advertising.com/ba...mnum=0000268139
RE: mouse over, yes it *appears* to activate sound when you mouse over it however the other day it just started playing all by itself!
Thx for listening Philipp- of course it wont drive me away lol i have been here too long
Have fun

On which page appear these ads? On the main pages or the forums?
