Exclamation [Issue] Annoying pop up sound ads

I have been experiencing ad issues that seem to be bothering me. Now I generally don't mind the quiet ones as I know it helps pay for the site, but its those ones that have sound in them that's the issue. Its the weekly prize winner thing that annoys me. Sorry if this has been posted up already.

I'm 200% with you on this one. But as you say the ads pay for the site, and I'm not sure PS3HAX can afford forbidding those with sound... Is there an admin reading this thread who could give us some insight on the matter?? Please? 'cause... really annoying sometimes!!

PS: and please no reply saying "If each of us donates a thousand bucks, the problem will be solved very quickly..."

I really don't understand why people don't install AdBlock+ on Chrome or Firefox, it would stop this moaning all the time.

If you hate the ad's and don't like clicking them, or contributing to the up keep of the forum, just install AdBlock+, that will sort all problems.

It's not that I don't want to support the site, I want to more than anything, but the full screen sound ads are the annoying bit. Everything else I can deal with.

Like everyone said, if one ad is annoying you, just block them all. The management here allows ads that do all kinds of nasty things, so just block them if only for safety sake. FF+AdBlock works really well...Chrome with AdBlock doesn't seem to catch all the redirects...or at least it didn't when I tried it a couple months ago.

I despise the full screen frontpage ads, they are the sort of thing that makes me turn away from other sites, front pages are the reason i use AdBlock+.
