I understand that ads pay for the site. I am cool with that. But no site I have ever visited as more annoying ads than this one.

The UFC fight ad that randomly screams out of my speakers is enough for me to serious consider moving back to Patriots Planet.

Even pop up ads are not nearly as annoying as the rollover ads here and the audio ones.

Yeah some of those ads are really loud!

Just turn the volume on your pc down.

I do that. And then I turn them back on to listen to things I actually want to hear. And sometimes I will have two browsers open. Both the forum and a link off of the forum of a BB press conference. And I can't hear the video I want to listen to because the ad is screaming.


If Patsfans.com unlike most forums can't support itself through normal ads and must resort to the obscenely obnoxious ones I will simply choose another forum to visit. It is out of control here.

I work in multimedia, so I need speakers on, so visiting this site during work hours became a little troubling when there were audio ads. HOWEVER - ther is a great Firefox plugin called Flashblock. It makes all flash swfs optional - DL it, its great.

I don't want to do that. I don't have Firefox. Plus I visit other sites that also work on the ad revenue model and the specifically ask that we don't use ad blockers cause it completely shuts down their revenue stream. I don't want to stop supporting those site because this site allows extreme ads.

If that is the model Ian is using, allow extremely obnoxious ads to coerce people into paying for a service pretty much every other message board is able to make work solely on reasonable ads. Then I would rather go to Patriot Planet or even complete stop discussing the Patriots online than support that.

I clicked on this site the other night, a loud add popped up....it woke up the family, and my wife yelled at me. True story.
Because of the noise level, I click off the site as quick as possible. So...in other words ........I DON'T read your adds, I DON't listen to your adds....I AVOID your adds and at times I AVOID the site because of your adds.....IT AIN'T WORKIN
And I don't think I should have to turn off my volume everytime I come to PatsFans...PLEASE CHANGE
