Damned "Play" sites 2010-06-23 16:23:19


I hate this. When a flash game is submitted and I'm ready to rate it. The opening screen comes up and then I see a button that says "Play" then I click it and I'm taken to another site, only to go back to NG to see another word dropped next to play advertising the site. Like earlier I went to play Super Mario Bomber(or whatever) and it said Play for a bit and I clicked it. Then it said "cow" after play. It popped up so slow I didn't notice. I honestly think these guys do that on purpose.

Spawning a pop-up when you click Play? Isn't that malicious (and thus Whistle-worthy)? Or is it some other "play" button with the main Flash being watchable or playable here?

The solution: use Adblock.

I've got it and I haven't seen an ad since. :D

No it's not. Usually it's used to promote the site that the game was submitted by. Frankly, I see it as nothing short of annoying.
