| PLEASE Stop the Flash Adds- PGC Admins... |

| Shredder:
If there's at all possible way to do this, PLEASE weed out the adds that cover up the entire freakin' page. The more you annoy people with base.com adds and these flash adds that won't even let you read the main paragraph news items, your traffic problems will vanish because people will find add free sites. I had to ditch IGN because of their subscription service taking up all the good stories. I'd hate to ditch PGC because of overabundance of annoying adds... Thanks! |

The ads pay for the server. It takes you 2 seconds to find the exit button on the flash ads. I fail to see the problem. If they really bother you, try using a better browser. Might I suggest Mozilla Firebird, which has a built in popup killer? |
| Bartman3010:
It doesnt help when the flash banner is on the page and doesnt have a close button. And when you think your fine and choose a news item, BOOM! You get information on Windows XP. At least tell them to make the banners inside the banner thing and not explode it everywhere. If they want customers, they dont screw with the customer. |

Unfortunatly, I don't think my popup blocker would work. It's IN the main browser itself, not popping up in a seperate window, IIRC. The program that I have only blocks the ones that popup in a seperate window, and I'm too acustomed to IE for the last 10 years to switch over to Netscape. Besides, I've been told that these Flash adds leave something on your computer in order to tell it when to popup again next. If this is true, who knows what other add monitoring software they load that AdAware might have to remove. Just sticking with normal HTML adds incorporated into the page itself won't drive people away like BAse.com adds and Flash Page adds.. |

I'm at the point where I don't read PGC much anymore because the ads are getting nearly as bad as IGN. I can tolerate pop-up's, banners, vertical, even flash ads that are stationary... but moving, takeover, and sound flash ads I hate. |
