If it counts for anything I also would like it if it went away. I don't use the mouse to move between tabs (I use keyboard shortcuts), but I have to use the mouse to switch between Direct Input and Hiragana modes in the Japanese IME. and the stupid thing keeps interrupting whatever song I'm listening to. There isn't a shortcut for going from Hiragana to Direct Input and back, is there.. (besides shift-key)

Not crashing my machine, but the Street Figher Alpha Generations advert for Best Buy is a bit processor hungry. My processor usage goes up to 30% or so when it appears; I see this with ads elsewhere, so it is a trend, but an annoying one.
Specs: Athlon 64 3000+ Firefox 1.0.7 Flash 8 (just installed latest version) Windows XP Pro Sp2 |

I love Looney Toons, but audio in ads, particularly this one, is very annoying. I was working on a project for my Japanese class the other day and I was looking up some information on who directed what on this site.....it seemed like almost every page would have it too......very, very annoying.

Luckily it doesn't crash my browser, but I'll also vote for no sound. I rolled over it without knowing and it scared the crap out of me, since ANN never has sound. But yeah.. kind of annoying. ^^

On my computer that particular ad doesn't crash the browser but the banner "space" looks like a 404 error inset.
All have latest version of Flash, IE 6.0 and Winxp SP2. I wanna say when I first installed SP2 I didn't have this problem (it occurs on alot of sites i visit) but when I tweaked some of the security features these errors started getting displayed. |

While my browser is not crashing, the page stops loading whenever that ad comes up; so basically I'm left with the ad and the ANN logo at the top and a blank page for the rest. I can reload the page and that'll take care of it, but it gets annoying. Oh yeah, I don't get the sound either, but that might be thanks to my ad blockers. Anyway here's the info you asked for:
Flash version: WIN 7,0,19,0 Browser: Internet Explorer ver. 6.0 Operating System: Windows XP Pro, Service pack 2 |

I was hoping there would be a thread about that annoying Bugs Bunny banner advertisement. I really hope you guys take that down, banner ads are bad enough. But when you incorporate sound with it, you really don't need that extra attention cause I just close the window when that happens. That's pretty much the only way to shut it up, besides turning off your speakers.
But why should I have to turn off my speakers just because there's this stuuuupid ad. Anyways, I'm done ranting. Just pleeeease take away that ad |

Okay, based on what has been said here, we will not permit any more ads with sound on mouse-over. You will have to actually click on the ads to get them to make sound.
As for those people who have reporte crashing, what happens? Does IE crash, does windows crash, do you get an error message ? -t |

My god, it happened again. I'm sitting here and the goddamn rabbit says his catchphrase again. Seriously, you guys need to get rid of this annoying ad that has nothing to do with anime.

"Mute" (though really, I only dislike the sound, the Ad itself is perfectly fine) |

For the last time 1) I can't get rid of the banner, it meets the TOS included in their contract. Future contracts have a new TOS, you won't see ads with sound on mouseover again, but this one is staying till the contract runs out. 2) We permit non-anime advertising and have no reason to not permit it. -t |
