Default Image venue does it now also...

Noticed the stupid music playing...starting, stopping...next picture...starting stopping...are they NUTS???...I stopped looking yesterday till I realized I had to hit the "mute" button if I wanted to go on.

This does NOT make me want to use the host...the opposite.
Raging Buhddist, et al...

Now, I have noticed that IMAGEVENUE is doing it...never stopped to look to see which host it was, today I got p.ss'd off and checked. They were playing schlock classical music, then were running an advertisement for some movie

Very annoying, I guess I am not the only one who thinks so.

Question? Does the host company get paid for running the noise, and assume users will just turn off the sound if we don't like it?

Thanks...Pete

I call that ridiculous and extreme. So I'm asking that people stop using Imagebam to upload pictures.

Do I expect this to really have an effect on their business? Not really. I guess I just wanted to vent. Then again, if enough people agree...
