I reported a sporadic pop-up ad a couple days ago. I only got it once since I reported it, shortly afterward, so it may or may not have been removed since then.

They have "commercials" at set intervals that are always the same ad video throughout the entire episode. Very monotonous.

It's got me three or four times today. Glad I wasn't eating or drinking on the last one. I would have made a mess ;D From which end? Those ads could wake the neighbors. They get to loud.

"Congratulations. You won" Every single time that comes on it scares the crap out of me!! ;D Since when do we have audible ads here? You know what stinks is i get that sound when i am at work surfing the internet. Of course i get a few looks at me and then i close out the window before my boss catch's me. Sometimes i forget to turn my speakers off and it bites you back.

There was one advert (on another website) that actually changed the system volume level to maximum. (Changed ALL volume levels to max) And what was I doing when I encountered it? I was testing a brand new 7.1 sourround sound sound card and speakers... The advert nearly gave everyone in the house a heart attack! And I am SURE the neighbours heard it too! What made it soo bad was I was just about to test the subwoofer, so I had just turned the sub up when the advert hit and had a bass rythem... Shook the whole house!

At least you know how good the sound system is when it's turned up really loud.
If that happened to me in my apartment, the neighbors would call the cops on me. I have problems with them always because i like to listen to music when i am online.
Time for bed. ....

I reported that ad a couple days ago when it happened on my forum. That was the only place I'd gotten it until today/tonight, twice so far.

That ad showed up a few days ago and we immediately sent it in to have it removed. I think there was some bad timing with the weekend hitting that has slowed down the response from the ad network to remove it.

Thanks Patrick. Got to admit, the scare thingy with it is humorous, but thank you for removing it

Exactly why I don't have my sound on. xD Though I have been scared by my iPod when I put my headphones in and I don't realize the volume is at max... So something like that has happened to me before. ;D
