Yet another Timewalking loot post ( As directed by GM)
Opened timewalking Cache before hotfix
Embrace Two New Races in Cataclysm Classic
Are we approaching a Solo Raid WoW Experience?
Void Elf starting pet?
MMO-Champion
I hate it when this happens. I was just randomly flying in complete silence in WoW and it is 5am, and then all of a sudden my speakers BLARED with the sound of advertisements. I took a good 30 seconds to figure out which page it was and it was an mmo-champ page. The ad seemed to be hidden. Also, what is with ads constantly reloading mmo-champ pages? Can we not just have normal ads? >_<
So basically, screw the ads that try to take some control of the site's pages and with auto-sound enabled. Ugh.

2011-07-31, 10:11 AM #3DeletedWe agree with this sentiment, that's why there's a sticky intended for reporting various types of bad ads, including ones that play sounds without user input. Originally Posted by DeltrusDisc

It doesn't sound like our ad if it was invisible, and there's nothing we can do about it without some idea of what the ad is.
If you find it, report it in the bad ads sticky and we can take care of it; as is it sounds like noise from another tab or somethng.

All I know is, I started slowly exiting tabs and when I x'd one mmo-champ page it all halted. =S"A flower.

Hey Sunshine, hopefully you're still getting messages about this thread, or someone will mention this, but I just found where these ads are. They're the video ads at the bottom of the site, for me at times they will randomly decide they want to play. So like I said earlier in the thread, it may be dead silent or I may be doing something else, and that is quite the sudden like, WHOA WTF type of moment. x_X Originally Posted by Sunshine

Noscript and Adblock Plus should keep most if not all ads at bay. The ones that still get through can manually be blocked with ABP.

Honestly, until Curse gets the ads under control on this just just block ads with AdBlocks.
