Seriously guys...

I like Tom's site and have been here a lot for too many good years now

But please don't allow these intrusive Over Loud adds like the new Dirt "roll over" add - positioned so most users will 100% roll over the damn thing... to the degree to is annoying to carefully avoid it each time I move my mouse to change Tabs

and set with Such high volume - is about 3 times louder than the Max volume of the online TV viewers I use

Too many adds like this will drive regulars away + make other sites more appealing to us




Obviously I do not want Auto Play OR Roll Over ads with sound - but do understand the desire to attract new site revenue streams in etc

...but at least as a minimum do us the favour of providing the option of disabling the Roll Over with some kinda button (- like a "Pause") as part of the add to prevent potential frustrating repetitive triggering

I don't want to have to spend my time playing the Tom's Curser Minefield game which can blast me with Loud Sounds and Large visuals each time I relax and forget to carefully avoid the "traps"

I hear nothing and see no adverts here, using Firefox with the AdBlocker add-on in place.

Nice improvement with the 3 - 2 - 1 countdown on that ad

is a good solution to that problem :)
