Audio ads have been disabled, in case you see new ones report them to me and I'll gladly ask to remove them. Happy stealth navigation

Thank you for the suggestion Frodo, it can be an effective temporary solution, in the meanwhile they are dealing with the ad provider to disable them, so I expect to hear good news soon.

The audio ads are powered by AdBrite. You can block AdBrite from loading onto your computer, without having to download any extra software.

Here's how to block the audio ads.

I'm waiting to hear news regarding other things like Daily Quiz status, new compression formats and Download Time Limit.

The FB bar has not been our decision but thanks to it we had more than 600 likes in a month. I've asked to remove the music advertisements but I haven't received a real answer yet.

Dear Dave,

I am pleased to say that being AB member more than 5 years I have NO any problem with loading the site and the speed.
Yes.
Of course I respect every opinion.

Thank You.

The Facebook bar was added by the owners of the site and loads after the rest of the page. The rest of it has been here for months, even years. The world map has nothing to do with tweets it merely shows where in the world people are logging in from, it has been here longer then I have. We have no control over the ads on site, none at all only the owners can do anything about that. Not to mention the site has been loading faster then ever before for me since they did the server change thing.

Does anyone really need 100 fb plugins and a globe showing where tweets are coming from? Really? I fear that in a near future the site's content will be hard to find because it will be buried between likes and ads and other nonsense. Again, please do something about it!

If this is the way Abandonia is going it is going without me.

Network Buttons, Youtube Vid, Twitter, Stats Map and connections with other sites are the things added by us and I'm currently trying to reduce their impact on main page.
We don't have permission to remove the other things.
I'm pressing Abovo for an optimization of the main page, but considering the problems we have they are focusing on other issues.
