Agree 100%. Perhaps Dani can look into this as she aggressively filters the allowed advertisements on Daniweb. There's no point in making Daniweb's members angry with ads; that defeats the purpose.
Yeah i used to go a flash game site but then they got ads that just constantly talked. And it was annoying to turn off my whole sound just to play something. So eventually i just stopped going there. Im pretty against anything i dont like having access to my speakers
Although not a solution for Daniweb, there's a program called Flashmute that works quite well. It will filter all sounds from the internet while allowing local sounds to the speaker.
This program works everywhere. Now as I surf, I don't get talking ads, background music, and automatic videos interrupting the audio from my stereo, TV, or discussions with my wife I'm half-listening to.

If you absolutely must run javascript on a trusted website to get anything done, then you can enable it for that site. Otherwise, no thanks.

If you must see what that flash animation is, then just press the "play" icon placeholder. If you really like the site, then you can enable flash for the whole site.
Otherwise, a life free of visual and audio distractions awaits you.
I've just been to a few of my favourite sites with a naked IE, and man, what a fsking annoying place the web has become!.
