Status: offline 		I really didn't think I would have reason to create a whiny thread post, but wtf? I don't need or want to share with my household, the sound effects of killer dominant's! I listen to music... go to sites where I need the sound on and then come across in my multitasking... an advertisment with sound. It was bad enough when someone's video would play whether you wanted it too or not, but advertisments you don't click on blasting through my room isn't something I am prepared to deal with.

Maybe I am cranky being sick... but does this bother anyone else?

(for the rest of my rant, go to futuresocks' "4u" thread)

Status: offline 		These new ads with sound are bugging the heck out of me. I don't like being intruded on...you can kind of ignore the visual ads. Plus if I'm on the CM site I already have to be careful if there are other innocent family members around, now I have to worry about the sound ads that they might hear as well. It's really irritating.

I was just about to post a thread like this.

I agree, they are intrusive and disruptive. I actually wrote the support folks to complain.

Now if the video/sound didn't start until you hit a play button or something that would be one thing, but to be assaulted by the noise at random times is a little much.

To the powers that be - please make them go away or at the very least mute them. It's obnoxious to log in and hear grunts and groans.

TG the kids aren't home yet, the volume was up all the way.

This pissed me off COMPLETELY. I had to turn the sound off. Its a holiday. Im home with my kid!!!! The advertisement was someone with a strap on saying, " grunt grunt grunt, you want it?" Like I need that???

Status: offline 		Thank you for starting this thread!! I thought I had inadvertently clicked a button and kept trying to find the button to turn it off. Not only did it startle me, it was blasting as I keep my speakers up pretty high so I can hear when Sir decides to buzz me....which he did while I was typing this response.

I guess Collarme has to get funding because it's a free site. They may want to know how many users like or dislike the ad to see if it's a good advertizing move for their client.

Edited to add: The site was taken by suprise also. Thanks to those that wrote support and let us know.

Thank You CM!

Not seen it on CM, but I absolutely hate it on other sites, especially when browsing at work. I don't need the boss to know I'm not working.

But indeed: I do not want unwanted sounds. I get plenty of unwanted sounds from my extremely noisy, music loving neighbors already.
