Mr. Freak, sir...

I just got this really fast flashing(annoyingly so) ad at the top of VN...

It is accompanied by a sound cue that says loudly...'Congratulations, you've won!'.... I apparently have been the 100,000th visitor to this site several times this afternoon.

I've never heard an ad with a sound cue on here before.

Just FYI...

I saw it myself yesterday. I'm trying to pin down the culprit. Anyone know what the ad was for or where it links? I hate audio ads.

If you can click it and tell me where it takes you, that will help me track it down.

Haven't seen them... but I hate popups. I'll see what I can find. Let me know if anyone else is having issues.
