Is it me, or are the ads on this site getting more annoying as time goes on? I made an Adblock exception for Steamgifts, but it's starting to bug me. I used to get normal ads for games-related stuff, but I've been getting flashing/moving pictures with YOU MIGHT ALREADY HAVE WON AN IPHONE, dating sites, and other shit like that. This is annoying enough on its own, but now I'm even getting video ads with sound and music, which is just unacceptable to me.

I've re-enabled Adblock for now since that shit bugs me like nothing else. I'm just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. Some of the ads are in Dutch so I assume it would be different for people in different countries, but either way it's annoying as fuck.

I've made a picture showing what I mean, for people who don't know what I'm talking about.

It's too bad you can't read what I wrote either, or you'd have noticed that I mentioned the videos contain sound and music that starts playing when the page loads. That's shitty in any language.

Odd, since I use no adblock and never ever had a video pay or sound clip on this site.

Sorry for misreading, thats my mistake, you don't have say I can't read though, very rude.

Anyways, hope it gets fixed.

I also experienced this issue, which is why my adblock is now on too. I'm probably not gonna take it off again either, until there is undeniable proof that this issue is fixed.

Also not using adblock, only ads are for gamersgate and greenmangaming discounts.

Those are a really good idea. It would also be cool to see discounts for games on the wish list.

It "used to" be like this, lately though the ads have been different and more annoying.

Anything that auto plays annoys me, but I just block those adds individually instead of a sitewide block

If you have a problem with certain ads, perhaps look into setting up a custom block just for those while keeping the ones you don't mind.

just noticed an ad with a chick with the text in Dutch "cut my bra and see what happens next" and it took me to an adult website.
Personally I don't have a problem with this, but not everyone is about the same age and I figure kids also come here.
Just a heads up.

A lot of websites base the ads you see on your own Google searches.

Based on Google searches? Then you know what kids will find.

Thanks. I said that on the thread to disable it on holydays. I explained that there
were flashing with music ads and videos that autoplay and that was the reason why I activated it, would deactivate when they disappear. But didn't get your attention.
Adblock doesn't disable the GG and gmg ads & links, which don't annoy anyone. they are US offers and then you see surprises when you face the reality, last case an offer in $ on GG and when clicking let me to the UK site in £ without offer, when I'm on EU. If

If that could be set to regions, would be awesome. Sorry for splitting, I'm on a mobile and can't access the end of the write box on the previous message.

My adblock turned itself back on.... I had an exception, but upon reading this and looking for said ads I noticed it somehow got re-enabled. I guess this means I should keep it on.

How odd.

I have no adblock on for this site and still just get the standard ads for games etc.

I assume they use different ads depending on your location, since I'm Dutch and I often get Dutch ads.

I dont even get adds at all, only a small banner on the bottom of the screen (almost never even see it) and those deals adds.

After all these complaints you would think they'd start looking for a new ad network.

I did get sound ads like some months ago and also made a thread about it. I keep adblock on since then.

I havent, but it completely depends on region, because they get fed different ads. I disable content blocking on sg, but if I did ever get sound ads, it would be re-enabled instantly.

I've never gotten any of that crap so far. But it's worrying that the site allows video/audio ads.

Yeah, sometimes these ads are wierd. I got fakebook notifications, indian scareware, games with "bikini mode", "flash"-updates and ads for knifes from Japan. But most times I get normal ads for GMG, Head&Shoulders or T-Mobile.
