appearing on my computer in high rotation with the advertisements appearing down the side of the screen and across the top of the forum.

Yeah OK it was fun and funny for a little but I am genuinely annoyed about this advertisment.

I know this forum is free and ads such as this help support the forum, so I really dont really have the right to complain about advertising which supports this service.

Is there any possibilty that this particular advertisment could be withdrawn from the rotation on the grounds that I find it offensive to have this advertisment flashing and pulsing.

It doesnt even adverttise anything.

I view it as a trick to suck people onto a website they never wanted to go to in the first place. false advertising?

Withdraw this advertisment please or at least make a complaint to the company who supply the advertising about this particular advertisment.

GO ON YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!!

Have you actually clicked it, dadpad?

I haven't. But then I ignore ads. Completely.

I have been getting one sometimes that flashes - strobelike - in black and white Flasing like on of 3 times a second. It drives me crazy as I cant concentarate on the post I happen to be reading at the time

Yes I have clicked it, I cant remember what the site was. But I ended up with spy wear on my ssystem and had to spend a day cleaning it all off.

Shocked

Then I certainly won't press it! Thanks for the warning, dadpad.

I don't think I've experienced the strobe-like one - thank the goddess!

The strobe flashing IS very annoying.

It is fairly new, too...as is the three fart buttons being there, though the strobe effect is newer.

Drives one balmy.

I used to like pushing the fart button. It really FARTED!!! Now it just takes you to another site. I didn't even pay attention to which site that it took me.

I want my farts back! Laughing

My dog, who is always at my feet when I'm on the computer, just farted.

Here I am on the fart button thread reading about Moondoggy and suddenly the internet is WAY TOO REAL!

An advanced and superior farting machine called fartmatic.exe is available free on the web (bug free). Search with Google to find it.

Even flames are produced when you adjust the controls!

If everyone gets wind of this......

Ooh, ooh, can I vote for removal of the awful toenail fungus ad?

I sometimes have to block it with my hand because the sight of the fungus creature lifting up the toenail gives me the heebie-jeebies and I can't keep my eyes from going back to it again and again...Brrrrr!
