Sound in the ads is crossing the line.

I have been getting this ad fairly recently lately.

It has sound. Please do what you can to remove this ad, or at least the sound, from the site. If its out of your control, that sucks cause I really hate when it happens.

yep, i was just going to make a thread here. it has got to go. i had no clue of the reason why that sound was coming from my computer until I closed some windows and realized it was the ad on NS!! didn't think newschoolers would go so far.

another minor complaint is animated ads, especially obnoxious ones. I didn't like the flashing one-day-left-orage-masters ad (also that adidas ad at the bottom, but not as much). it detracts from the actual content on the site and is distracting, but i guess that's the point.

my thoughts exactly.  I understand that any ad money coming in is good for NS but at the same time these ads are just obnoxious.  All of the beeping  and the shaking and shit makes NS seem like a B listed website.  It looks like one of those cheap ass sites like ebaumsworld.com. 

In all, keep the ads from skiing or sporting goods sites, not "Congrats you've been the 1,000,000,000th viewer!"

Noooo

If theres one thing I hate, I HATE sound ads, SO much. and any of those ads that say "click here to be scared" or some shit. ski company advertisements and college advertisements are alright, but dont let NS become a pit like the rest of the internet!

it just happened to me, and if NS really needs money in order to continue by using adds, im sure if they re-open the donations, then theyll be fine

yeah, a lot of the ads are totally useless to have on NS since I'm pretty sure they pay per-click and no one on here is clicking on any of those ads. i hate 'em.

AHHH it appeared as I'm posting now. It kindof makes me want to drive my head into the wall or something.
I responded another thread on this before I saw this one, but +1 to every response in here.

i figured there'd be a thread on this so i checked before i posted, but fuck those beeping ads, that's the kind of shit you see on trashy porn sites, if ns is forced to include ads to keep everything running, so be it, but please be a bit more selective in what is placed on this site
