Default Helloooooooooooooooooooo?!?!

Seriously, is there any way to get rid of this horrible ad? Every time the mouse goes across that smily advertisement, my entire workplace knows I'm surfing the net.

Is it possible to disable it?

Frick it just happened again.

Good thing there's nobody around here yet.

Just get rid of it pleeeeeeeease! I need to keep my sound on so I can hear that important-sounding lovely tone when I get an email.

But mostly to listen to the radio.

If you want to pay the monthly costs of the site we'll remove the banner ads

Nobody is suggesting you remove all the ads, just this one in particular that includes a really obnoxious audio component. I accidentally moused over it twice at work today, earning me strange glances from my coworkers each time.

And yes, I could install Adblock, but I don't want to deprive CP of their revenue. I'm more than happy to support the site by viewing most ads, but I second (third, fourth...whatever) the request to please remove this specific one.

I don't think they get to pick and choose the ads, they come from a random bank of ads... Just turn your sound off, seriously. It's not the end of the world.

SAY SOMETHING!! Whaaaat?
