Support NeoGAF

[Dennis]

LOL when I got for this very thread.

 

[PaulloDEC]

I keep getting this with an ad for 'Lovoo'. PMd EviLore few mintues ago, but good to know I'm not the only one with weird ads.

Also probably because I spend too much time in the PC thread and PC hardware related sites I always get the your PC is too slow, click here so we can install a virus and make it super fast.

I've had two pop-up boxes similar to this one now. Pretty alarming when it happens on trusted websites.

NeoGAF needs a donation button. Wish I could activate AdBlock without denying this site it's revenue.

EviLore needs his cabbage. I'm totally fine supplying said cabbage.

I'm more than willing to pay for real GAF Gold too.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

I did. It said to me "28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, and 12 seconds".

Help.

Have you ever seen a portal?

No ads and no time restrictions plus the return of "Who Quoted You" says good.

Hell no, to the other stuff.

 

[Harlock]

"Who Quoted You" is the crossgame voice chat of Neogaf.

 

[hodgy100]

Just got two of these myself

 

[Soule]

I opened a whole bunch of tabs earlier today and was so confused when I started hearing music, none of the websites should have audio ads. Explains so much, really hope they disappear very quickly.

Just search your name, it works better than who quoted you ever did.

 

[SmithnCo]

CONGRATULATIONS.

CONGRATULATIONS.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Just got the video one.

Pretty nasty.

 

[JoseJX]

I just got a few video ads as well. And got another when posting this message. I've also seen a few that don't fit in the ad box, like they're supposed to be boxes instead of bars.

I don't mind the regular ads, but these suck. For what it's worth, I'd pay a bit to not have to deal with ads.

 

[David H Wong]

How does anybody actually make money from those annoying ass ads?

The annoying ones are the only ones that make money.

 

[I speel my dreenk]

I got this one the other day, but of course didn't mind since IT ONLY TAKES SECONDS!

You kinda can.

 

[Syf]

Alright now there's this ATB Financial ad that is loading ever second or third page click. It's a video with audio I can't turn off. :/

 

[EviLore]

I'm on them about it, and not sure why this is going down all of a sudden. If issues aren't resolved I'll be pulling the tags by the end of the day. Sorry for the inconvenience.

 

[Syf]

All good man, glad to hear it's being worked on.

 

[Fusebox]

Porches don't pay for themselves.

Damn straight, and Evilore does love sitting on his porch.

 

[Addnan]

Watching Netflix on half the screen browsing GAF on the other. Have the volume quite high since Netflix is a little quiet. Suddenly its telling my how to keep my eyes moisturised. That was scary.

 

[Mononoke]

Never had an issue with ads on here. I also don't block ads because I want to support the site. I think where they are placed is perfect, I never even see them. But glad admins sort it out quick when ads go haywire. I do hate those ads that yell out you.

 

[krae_man]

Yeah I had GAF open while watching Dragons Den last night and had to close down GAF.

 

[Jay Fray]

Yeah I had GAF open while watching Dragons Den last night and had to close down GAF.

Must have been a really annoying ad then.

I haven't received any pop-ups, but I do get the videos. Some were only giving audio when I accidentally moused over, but then a Canadian Tire ad started yelling about winter without me having moused over it.

 

[Incitemaybe]

When on my laptop I've had two pop up ads appear in the last week from NeoGaf.

 

[cyberheater]

Just had a musical one pop up just now. First time ever. How odd.

 

[Stet]

Just had a Ford Explorer ad with the Tetris music in the background. Kind of obnoxious. Luckily, I don't have the plug in to play the video so all I saw was this:

Either way, autoplaying rich media banners are the worst practice in advertising.

 

[Miguel]

HEY! Over here! I solved my debt problems... click here to find out how I did it.

[Marleyman]

It was early this morning at work; I was groggy and all of a sudden noises came from my GAF browser windows. I was panicking because I couldn't think of where it could be coming from. Now I know.

 

[DC R1D3R]

No, bitch about it, they aren't supposed to be there. Something funky is going on with these rectangular ads showing up in the top ad slot all of a sudden, having the ad rep guys check it out.

Get these fuckin ads off nowz!!!

I don't want no break in the city!!

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

I got one with the option to 'skip' But to use the feature I had to pay for the service. First five skips are free.

 

[jordisok]

Just got a little bit freaked out by the tiny corner of a video ad talking at me.

 

[railGUN]

I just got two playing at the same time, lol.

 

[Takamura-San]

I miss my Gaf Gold subscription.

Too poor to pay for it now

 

[Onion_Relish]

The ad's don't play sound for me so I just ignore them, but i'm also surprised more people don't surf the internet with their sound muted. I'm always afraid of pop-ups and scary shit so maybe that's why I do it...

 

[FYC]

At least I'm not the only one getting ads that redirect me. Just got another one that led me to the SWTOR account creation page.

 

[bobbychalkers]

I ran into an ad a couple of times that did that "THIRTY SECONDS UNTIL YOU CAN VIEW THIS PAGE."

It goes to an all white page with a banner on top right? If so, I've gotten that a few times on GAF.

 

[Sylver]

The other day I got a pop-up that emerged from the ad, and the ad zone was about blank.

 

[Htown]

Is anyone else having ads that seem to be the wrong proportions for a banner?

I'm getting these all the time on NeoGAF now, but also normal ads.

these showed up at the same time as the video ads

 

[Stabby McSter]

I got it yesterday, but haven't heard one since. Maybe Evilore has heard our cries?

Also, my current ad is that classmates.com thing. Does anyone know somebody who has used it? Sounds pretty useless, especially in this time and age.

 

[phosphor112]

I've gotten video ads, wrong proportion stuff, and this.

Thanks Obama.

[SloaneRisette]

Got some of the video ones while v playing Beyond (I use Xsplit because I use a separate monitor from my TV) and was freaking out when I kept hearing these other voices.

Also happened while I was listening to the Bombcast last night.

 

[backflip10019]

Just got a Discover ad with a woman screaming about always wanting her customer service representatives to be real people. The worst thing is that it was the ad at the bottom of the page, so I didn't know where it was coming from at first. This shit sucks, fix it.

 

[Koomaster]

I'm on them about it, and not sure why this is going down all of a sudden. If issues aren't resolved I'll be pulling the tags by the end of the day. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for your attention to this. I like to listen to other things while browsing GAF and these ads make it so I can't do both.

 

[EviLore]

Everything cool now?

 

[Toppot]

Everything cool now?

Looking good here.

 

[blame space]

I won!

 

[Nikkuthulu]

Everything cool now?

Has been good for me all day so far.

 

[Diablohead]

Ad's with sound are the worst when you wear earphones and playing music rather loud, suddenly hearing that fucking yellow smiley saying HEYYYYY or what ever.
