It loaded and played for me automatically - I noticed the site going slightly slower than normal, then this thing popped up on my screen playing an ad for tv3 or something? I'm guessing it downloaded the video without asking me first. I'd never noticed the thing there before. If it sticks around I might have to do a hard search for a way to block them. Mike. |

| 295345 | 2004-11-26 04:52:00 | This is total BULLSHIT. That add should be removed. C'mon guys!!!!!!! This is press f1, not some stupid site fulled with adverts. There are enough flashing banners as it is and I am getting PISSED OFF with this video thing: taking up the little bandwith there is on 56k. I think someone should launch a formal complaint about this PICE OF FLASH/JAVA CRAP!!!! Or if it isn't going to get removed I will have to find some way to block it (althought I would rather it was never there in the first place), block it along with all the other 'adds' that are starting to piss me off! f*cough*k you IDG, with you falsh/java crap!!!!!! |

| 295347 | 2004-11-26 05:41:00 | PressF1 is a free service. IDG has to make money some way, and instead of charging us to use PressF1, they let advertising companies advertise and then pay them. There's no such thing as a free lunch. | somebody (208) | ||
| 295348 | 2004-11-26 05:48:00 | Geez, looks like somebody forgot to take their meds today! If you're prepared to use a free service, be prepared to see those sorta things. Edit your hosts file if you must, but in all reality, that sorta bitching wont get anything done..... |

| 295349 | 2004-11-26 06:06:00 | As much as I would have expressed it quite as harshly as Crazy Monkey this forum is saturated with adds,and i would imagine they create revenue,rather then cover costs . Again speaking without access to actual figures i bet its pretty damn expensive to advertise on this site . As for charging us to us Pressf1? it's us that provide the content,which increses traffic . And further more,if your comp is saturated with addware,sucking up band-width and resoures,causing an unstable system , . . . . how exactly do they think streaming a movie is going to help? . . . stealing the last tiny amount of bandwidth and resources? Anyhow,I hope people do complain,and that traffic drops, when i can be buggered i intend to write up a letter . |
