Ads in your ear during CSS gameplay!?

[XX0wnsXY]

For the past month or so I thought I had a virus because I kept hearing 5-10 second clips of commercials in my ear while playing GG. I ran a virus scan and nothing came up flagged. I had asked around and noone else seemed to notice it. Today, it seems some other people are getting the ads as well. You could easily miss them if your volume is too loud, as they aren't overly loud and are rather short.

is anyone else getting them? I don't seem to notice it in any other game, either.

crazy, i was hearing some of those a while back, used this ( http://usa.kaspersky.com/downloads/tdsskiller ) and it seems to have stopped.

[What]

I havent heard any recently, but yes I have had this, particularly when i joined the server or at map change. Once I swear that the first window with ibis stuff was causing it, since that is kind of like an internet link thing, but not sure why it happened.

ive heard 4-5 people complain about it just today in the gg server. whatever is causing it has really amped it up.

Never had it happen, but yeah like Bert said, I would assume you have a virus or something. Stop dling porn from free sites Owns...see what you get...computer stds..

[What]

Ok at least twice a map now, ill get a shit ton of lag and ill faintly hear an ad in the background for about 5 seconds, this only happens on the server, so unless its a really specific virus that everybody has, its probably something from the server or steam

What could be onto something.

The server displays a welcome page at the start of a game, and it could be that there's an ad that slithered its way onto that page, weather from someone posting a link in the wrong page that got parsed into the server... or it could be that zero's making a few bucks out of playing ads subtly on the server due to the traffic we get:P LOL

(i wonder if someone ever thought about using displaying ads via high traffic game css servers rather than browsers)

still, zero should look into how the welcome screen works.... it's kinda outdated sometimes, and it could use a revamp nway, and a slight intro about IBIS and its members and goals and servers.

Have not had it. Although, I do have HTML MOTD disabled default.

I've heard it a bunch of times.

i dont think its an add from the motd. If zero did in fact set it up this way id recommend he take it down. Google ad sense will disable accounts for that spike in ad impressions. This is why i do not think it is an ad place intentionally.

[Spasm]

Been hearing it as well lawl.

Somehow I missed this thread or would have addressed this earlier. I have made some programing adjustments which should now nip this in the bud.
