Only played with the interactive Zwinky ones till they became jpeg ;_; I liked sticking skirts on the girls' heads

Other than that, I don't want to get a virus so only if I see an advertisement from another site or one involving Pokemon games from Playasia or a preorder thingie, I'll never click on them. A few times I've accidentally clicked on a few and I was scared to death of getting adware or a virus.
 
Heck no I don't >=(
That's why Firefox has the Adblock extension =D
 
Not the forum's ones; but sometimes those "you're a winner" ones you find on other sites, just to amuse myself at whatever pages they take me to.

I don't understand why it would be better in OVP but I can't be bothered to argue against it.

I don't click them, yet alone see them because of Ad-Block Plus.
 
I usually don't, I'm probably in the middle of doing something.
 
All I can say is what adverts? the closest thing I see on PC to an advert is that papal button up next to m name (which I've clicked 3 times)
I guess in the long scheme, I don't click any adverts, other than that paypal button.
 
When I was younger, I deliberately clicked on any advertisement involving games. Little did I know, some of them carried a virus that could easily harm my computer. My computer then I had to be fixed and I have to use a laptop just to pass time.
Fortunately, I don't click on advertisements anymore due to the above reasons.
 
Most ads are nothing but links to spyware and other malicious crap, so it's rare that I ever click one. If I do, it's because I know where it's going to take me.

Of course, I have Adblock installed anyway, so I rarely even see ads.
 
AdBlock is indeed <3

But what's weird is, a lot of you seem quite misinformed at how many adverts actually give you virus'. o.o'
 
I don't click ads and I use AdBlock too. Mainly because they're annoying with all their flashing, moving around, and the fact that they just take up space half the time so it takes longer to scroll down to what you want to see (*cough*).

The most annoying ones are the talking ones. "Congratulations! You've been selected for a free Nintendo Wii." Yeah, sorry, don't care. I want my file download, kthxbai.
 
Nooope.

I don't trust them, unless it leads to a site I'm familiar with, like Myspace, Gaia, or some of those MMOs' like Mabinogi, P.I. Story, ect.. but that's it really. So maybe.. 5 ads out of 37482734827332 of them. o_O
 
I don`t on this forum or other sites!
the chaotic ones are the ones are on this forum and it doesnt have a virus yay

Actually a great way to block flash ads which are the ones with the talking is to get Flashblock for Mozilla. If you go to sites like youtube, you have to click on the video in order to watch it though. However, for people who don't want videos to start right away or the second they restore a session of FF, this addon is a blessing.

btw, thanks guys for the adblock. It's awesome!
 
Nope, I don't trust them. It's almost always something obnoxious and time-wasting, and like a lot of others -- I don't want to risk viruses or scams, etc. I've yet to see an ad for anything I'm actually interested in, either way, so there's no point in it. As for signature advertisements...I honestly don't pay any attention to them most of the time. |D
