Annoying Ad Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Hi guys,

Some of the banner ads that have been showing up have annoying sound clips on them, they are driving us crazy.

One in particular is this one:

I would just turn javascript off but that is a serious pain because it prevents me from accessing my web based email accounts and I keep forgetting to switch it before and after visiting sites that have obnoxious noisy ads on them.

I think there are styles you can choose where you get popups only and no banner-ads? Someone will have to do the testing for everyone here though, as I have Plus and so receive no advertisements. Apart from the amazon link in every single post, that is.

Just because ads are needed to support the site, doesn't mean the ads have to be annoying.
