I think I've seen this one in this thread before, but it's still around...

Rabbit plays the drum... Annoying

In the top box, hovering shows nothing, link got me to "internet explorer cannot display the webpage"... Gotta love sound adds that don't work!

Apologies if removal's on its way.

Not real revealing, but not sure this is something we want to promote on our forums. Bottom of page.

This is the link it takes you to.

Yeah, I got the same ad yesterday.

**...bigdog...** · 05-05-08, 09:31 PM

a beeping ad (one of the bottom blocks with the "omg you are the 1233,55,33th viewer and you won jack shit" crazy moving boxes), and one of the "free ipod" speaking ads in the right side 150x600 was seen by me.

mother fuckers....

Got one for ya that annoys the hell out of me. Pops up this "your computer is infested with adware. You should install this!!!" and they make it look like and internet explorer pop up. The thing that sucks is you can't click on anything else in the window or move it. so you basically have to either alt f4 the page or click the x on the box, and who knows what it puts on your comp when you do that.

If you read this entire thread, you will find out that pop-ups here are compliments of unsafe browsing practices. There are instructions in this thread about dealing with pop ups.
