It appears that you have started using audio ads which can not be turned off. Please stop the use of the ads or at least allow them to be clicked off. It is annoying enough that I will stop coming to this site!!!

 

 

Have you considered buying a plus membership to offset the need to run ads on this site which is free to the vast majority of the users?

 

In the interim, my computer has this neat little function called "volume control"; perhaps you could check into it for your computer.

I run whatever ads I can in order to pay for the site. If I have an option I don't run audio ads but if I am not given an option by the company I have to run them. Same thing with popunders. With 61,700 free members and 400 paying members that is the reality.

I understand business is business and I'm surprised at the visitors vs paid members. Think PBS - NPR....I would think that an advertiser would be thrilled with the # of overall visitors. My complaint about the audio is that it was unexpected and I often have my volume turned up so when someone starts talking without me activating it I jump out of my skin. :0 And yes I have a volume control and I will be using it.

 

Do get me wrong I do like CoachT and I visit more often than I would like to admit. I would ask you to talk to the IP.Board people about adding a off button.

 

 

Curious...Do you have someone selling ads locally?

I have had but do not currently. The rates local companies are willing to pay are less than I can get from the online advertising companies but both are low. This is a one-man operation so selling ads that have to be changed often is not feasible.
