	Ad with Sound!?! Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

What's with the new Ad with sound? I'm sick of hearing that "Tired of your old push button phone" every five minutes. So, what, I can't listen to music while surfing now?

Grrrrr!

I was just going to make a thread on this.

How do you get rid of it? can firefox do anything about this?

I usually post here with the sound off, but I've been watching some movies I have downloaded, and sometimes I leave the sound on. Or sometimes when I'm playing my music on winamp and surfing poly, you hear those ads over my beautiful songs.

as for being a plus member. It goes against my principles.

	Put an end to popups!

usually ads with sounds have an off button. it's the decent thing to do

These are awful! Poly might have finally found something that will drive me away.

One thing for certain: I will never, ever, ever buy anything sold via one of these intrusive, obnoxious ads...from now until the end of all eternity!

How come I don't get any adds btw, I allow pop-ups from Apolyton.net in Firefox.
Do I need to allow a different address (too) ? IIRC did the same thing in Firefox 0.8 & 0.9 and it worked perfectly ( I'm currently using 1.0pr)

Me too... Pretty much the only ads I get to see are the various survey ads and I don't get any pop-ups at all.

Same here - no pop-ups, mostly survey-ads. I use Firefox.

That adblock really works, this is great. Thanks Apolyton, for finally convincing me to ignore all your ads! You still get the revenue from them as if they were displayed though, right?

You think I would want to have them back for any other reason??
I don't particularly like them, you know.

I meant the non pop-up ads. I can still hover over them, see their source displayed, it's just I can't see the image, and don't hear any annoying jingles.

I have a pop-up blocker but I allow Poly ads for the sake of it.

I'm beginning to reconsider.

Please note that most of the advertising running on Apolyton on a day-to-day basis is directly administered by a third-party agency. Morever, there are a few different agencies with whom we've contracted. Yes, they are acting on our behalf but at the same time have been told what types of ads we will and will not accept running on our site in regards to a number of factors. At the same time, we do not individually review every proposed ad campaign for suitability/desirability etc. before its introduction on-site as that is part of the agency's responsibility as per the reasons stated.

We do not solicit nor want ads that carry sound and can assure you that if we are able to determine the source of the ad in question we will petition to have it removed from our rotation immediately. I can tell you that not only did we not pre-approve the ad that has been called into question, we do not approve of it either given its reported characteristics.

To anyone who is still receiving/has received this ad: can you also provide us with the URL (address) that its image points to?
