Can someone point me to a web page that will always start you off with a flash take-over ad? I want to test something.

Boot 07-17-03 03:28 PM

I haven't gotten it at all yet. I guess I've been lucky. I hate those damn things.

How long will this ad campaign be going?

chanster 07-17-03 11:21 PM

I got it using Win 2000 I.E. V5.5 every 10 minutes or so, it seems to have slowed down. This is a really crappy ad.

Feneant 07-20-03 10:10 AM

btw, this thing is crashing my browser now when it pops up, the forum never loads so I have to close and restart the browser as it's hanging there.

PixyJunket 07-22-03 07:54 AM

Vile.

CharlesC 07-22-03 10:07 AM

That ad ****ing sucks.

PixyJunket 07-22-03 10:32 AM

Another DVD I will be making sure nobody I know owns.

Deftones 07-22-03 11:48 AM

well, in Geoff's defense, I've only got it once in the entire time the ad has been running.

Adam Tyner 07-22-03 11:58 AM

I haven't seen it at all. I picked up the DVD this afternoon -- maybe if I wave the keepcase in front of the screen frantically, the ad will go away.

Heat 07-22-03 01:03 PM

I've gotten it three times in the last twenty minutes or so.

Feneant 07-22-03 03:53 PM

I get it constantly, at least once per time I browse the game forum. Of course on Mozilla is never loads now so I have to close and reopen the browser

chanster 07-23-03 10:01 AM

Yes, its picking up back again. It also crashes my browser. What a joke. DVDTalk should pull this ad.

Just got this for the first time and came right here to complain. Not surprisingly, it was in the Video Game Forum. When the pop-ups started, it pissed me off because I simply hate them. But not as much as these full page ads. This is the exact reason I don't subscribe to sites which put their "non-subscribing" members through that. MAKE IT STOP!

MJKTool 07-23-03 01:30 PM

I have yet to see this monster.

Neitzl 07-23-03 02:10 PM

I just came from the video game forum and on EACH click on any link in that forum, I got the ad. Even to click out of the forum and into the main forum listing, I got it.
I guess it's punishment for not even thinking about buying the dvd.

einTier 07-23-03 06:40 PM

The video game forum does seem to get this ad A LOT more than any other forum. In fact, it's the only forum I ever see it in.

Josh H 07-23-03 07:49 PM

I've never got it anywhere other than the Video Game forum either.

I'd say I'm getting it as expected though, I log on two or three times a day on work days, and I get it once each time, so I'd say the once per hour thing is probably working for me.

Scott27 07-23-03 07:53 PM

I've never seen the ad, and I'm on the site at least a couple times a day everyday.

tanman 07-24-03 06:25 AM

Tell the advertisers that I am currently DL Final Destination 2 for FREE! hahahahahahaha




jk. But seriously notify them of our displeasure as to the nature of their ad and the serious retribution to their product that it has caused.

Do you post in the Video Game forum? The ad appears limited to that forum.

Thunderball 07-24-03 01:10 PM

Haven't seen it yet.

Nor do I wish to.

This is a horrible campaign.

chanster 07-24-03 02:19 PM

I see it EVERYTIME I go the FRONT PAGE. Without fail. www.dvdtalk.com

I like to bookmark DVD Talk's home page because I like seeing the updates, but I am changing my bookmark. sad..

Ranger 07-24-03 06:03 PM

I don't get it. You guys are talking about this?

http://images.gorillanation.com/Newl...68x60_Post.gif

or the flash one on the side?

dgmayor 07-24-03 06:17 PM

No, it's a full page ad. Entire browser page is black with a large graphic in the middle.
