    Are any of you getting weird audio advertisements from the BigSoccer site today? Any time I have the forums open, I'm hearing "Go ahead and click on this... I dare you" or "You don't have a pest problem, you have a pest opportunity." If I close the BigSoccer tab, I don't hear the ads anymore, but I don't see any advertisement that corresponds to what I'm hearing. It sounds like a crappy Al Pacino impression, too.

    Anyone else experiencing this, or am I going nuts?

    The past day or so yeah, and even with NoScript only allowing things from bigsoccer.com it's a bit annoying/upsetting.

    No, I heard it too. It's driving me nuts. The worst part is that it's not on an ad you can close, so I can't find it.

    Yeah, I get it too. They must have put in some shitty ad module. I hate it when the audio from an ad or a video play right away.

    in that case:

    dear mods,

    please consider this a formal complaint. I leave BS open all day at work usually, but my job requires me listening to things on my computer occasionally. This kind of advertising is unacceptable, and in this case, it is just stupid... why advertise something with audio when there isn't even a corresponding visual ad on the page..? I'm just assuming this is some kind of mistake.

    second thought, it might be an attack against their site - I see some other complaints on the net.

    I keep seeing and hearing pest ads, and I am deathly afraid of insects and insect images, so I'll be off of here for a while. Hopefully, this problem gets fixed quickly.

    It is the Terminix ad that is on the left side of the page. Powered by iGoogle Ads.

    the visual of the ads must be blocked or something because I dont' see any ads, but I hear the audio.

    ughh.... it is playing every 10 seconds now. I'm leaving for a bit in the hopes that someone from BS can figure this out; otherwise, I'm gonna punch a hole in one of my monitors... it is UNBEARABLE.

    Why don't you just turn off sound on your computer, or in your browser by not letting it run the script? Not a permanent solution but should work until the tech weenies fix it.

    Now getting American Public University.

    I will kill myself if this doesn't start. I'm trying to Keep the Faith (Northern Soul anyone?!), and I always open multiple tabs of big soccer at the same time so I can just click through the threads. I can't listen to music and 5 different audio streams of ads.
