Beeping FOFC!

Raiders Army · 02-02-2009, 04:05 PM

Does anyone else get a beeping noise occassionally when they come to FOFC? I've gotten it on two separate computers with two different methods of connecting to the internet. It isn't every time that I get it either. It sounds sort of like a radar ping.

Popup blocker?

Raiders Army · 02-02-2009, 04:11 PM

Nope. I have pop-ups enabled for PMs to come up in another window. Maybe it's just me.

I had this occur on Friday. I turned off my work computer speakers for an hour and when I turned them back on, it was gone. Definitely was not a pop-up blocker for me.

One of the ads makes a beeping noise.

There must be a special circle in hell for annoying marketers. I'm sure it plays that sound over and over for eternity. Along with blinking text. And voiceover commentary by Billy Blanks.

who's responsible for the ads?

is it operation sports? If so then is it too late to go back to gamespy?

Ah. The beeping is extremely annoying.

Ad block is your friend.

had that today when I was over at operation sports

PackerFanatic · 02-02-2009, 06:36 PM

Yeah, one of the lovely ads. I have seen/heard it on a few other sites, and I really am not sure how any ad agency thinks that is a good idea. Most people think their computer is about to explode when they hear it.

yeah its the Congrats you won a free prize ad or some such wording. I guess the "prize" is the annoying beeping sound that makes me think my computer is about to crash
