Ads with sound
I remember when Synth had a commitment to have no intrusive ads on FFR, and now you have possibly the most intrusive and annoying ad there is: the loathed flash ad with sound. Frankly I find this anti-FFR and it's extremely frustrating to be totally interrupted as I'm browsing to scramble to find the window that's playing sound and either mute it or close it.

Re: Ads with sound
There are ads that pop out over the entire website. Those are irritating.

Re: Ads with sound
I don't understand why sites get paid to put up ads like that. It is horrible advertisement as it just make me hate whatever it is displaying.

Re: Ads with sound
We do everything we can to limit these ads but the horrible truth is that we use about 8 ad companies that push out hundreds of ad campaigns each. The result is never knowing what is going to be displayed. Many of these companies allow us to block certain advertisers but we have to know about the problem company and campaigns before we can do anything.
I absolutely loathe intrusive campaigns. Whenever you see one, don't just show the ad but report it with the associated javascript in the page source. This will make it much easier to track down. Cheers, Synthlight |

I know alot about ads, Synthlight is right. Only way to stop the ads is the source directly. It's a chain effect. |

Re: Ads with sound
Another way to bypass this is with direct sell to advertisers. If any of you know or have connections to companies that would make a perfect fit for advertising on FFR, PM me and we can work them a good deal. I personally hate all the crappy non-related remnant ads that we serve.
Cheers, Synthlight |

Re: Ads with sound
Does the site earn money from simply displaying these ads or from actual clicks?
ABP EDIT: or even better http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/vbz/payments.php |
