Title: Crackle Add


Kaldar - September 28, 2011 07:03 PM (GMT)
Bhaal whatever the hell this add is it makes your game play like a damn spyware haven ... constantly redirecting to Crackle. I know it is the add from your game and not some other spyware or virus because ive had it do it to me on like 4 different computers .........

FIND IT AND KILL IT

4 different computer of separate network ?

Bob Villain - September 28, 2011 08:50 PM (GMT)
tpot reported it too, it's annoyed me as well, FF blocks most the pop up ads but Crackle.com gets through and keeps insisting I watch Starship Troopers: Roughnecks........

DemonGate - September 28, 2011 08:50 PM (GMT)
So use ad-block plus and block the damn thing!!!

sayers6 - October 1, 2011 05:59 PM (GMT)
Add block doesn't do it for me. It always redirects there every couple of pages. It's annoying me.

It is not an ad or pop up
it is a redirect taking a page from woe to crackle

this causes problem because you can't just hit the back button --
it will just redirect you right back to crackle

i even get this when at the library on a library computer

as we approach clock this needs to addressed


Bhaal - October 4, 2011 01:13 AM (GMT)
Crackle should be gone now. Tell me if you see it again.

Kaldar - October 4, 2011 01:36 PM (GMT)
Saw it again ...............


Kaldar - October 5, 2011 06:39 PM (GMT)
Can anyone else please verify they are still getting this too ? It pains me !!!!

try to rebuy mercs , no ... watch Godzilla instead !!!!


Who thinks that type of marketing makes people want to pay for their product ?

Butcher - October 6, 2011 12:32 AM (GMT)

I play a lot from my laptop while i at school. Due tot his add i now navigate pages very quickly and then log off ASAP so i don't have that add suddenly blow up while i am in class (and forgot to mute my speakers).

I will let the game sit for longer periods one of these nights at home and see if i can get it.

maddog - October 7, 2011 01:26 AM (GMT)
I've gotten it a few times, but not in a while.

Just happen to me a couple minutes ago. It's not the first time though and it's getting annoying. I agree with Kaldar, i dont want to watch Godzilla.

yes, I reported it. Albeit in a angry/foul mouthed/irritated way that may or may not have been called for...

not on pc
but on ipad2 still just as bad


Zilla - October 8, 2011 08:06 PM (GMT)
its so bad now
playing from ipad is impossible

1/6 click results in being taken to crackle

pc not a peep

DemonGate - October 8, 2011 08:07 PM (GMT)
can you add it to your anti-virus?

Butcher - October 9, 2011 12:23 AM (GMT)
You should be able to. Most virus guards come with a firewall. Just block the ip address.

mastering3d - October 10, 2011 06:40 AM (GMT)
It pop out again 5 min ago.
I thought this problem was fixed already? :blink:

Zilla - October 10, 2011 01:34 PM (GMT)
yes i can block it

and work around it

but should that be how to play woe

with a disclaimer that states

to enhance youre playing experience
block all ads


that just not the answer

i mean to say im leaving it open so bhaal knows whats going on


to play woe from ipad is to be redirected from woe

you cant just submit every page

you have open a whole new page from favorites about once a minute



Kaldar - October 10, 2011 05:30 PM (GMT)
More importantly anyone new to the game trying to play it would not put up with it very long at all before they just assumed WoE was really just spyware in disguise and left the game never to return

Korlaf - October 13, 2011 02:33 PM (GMT)
I just had it pop up again. First time in a few days, but very annoying as i was sitting in class and just had my WOE tab open in the background behind my notes. Scared the hell out of me when it redirected. Teaches me to keep headphones plugged in or Mute my computer at home before coming to school.

Regardless of my class status, this ad has got to go!

*Edit

Happened again just now. Firefox did not block the redirect away from WOE to crackle, but the crackle site tried to redirect me to somewhere else on it's page and firefox blocked that redirect.

*Edit

Again

Korlaf - October 20, 2011 04:49 PM (GMT)
redirected again just now 12:49 Server time

Ghost of Zilla - October 21, 2011 12:49 AM (GMT)
Oh
didnt know we was keepig count.

i approximate 250+ occurances

now that im keeping count i think ive under estimated the occurances

18 redirects to crackle from ipad2 10.20.2011
0 redirects from pc with ad block 10.20.2011

Ghost of Zilla - November 6, 2011 03:21 PM (GMT)
It's on v28 beta.

Im very disappointed.

Then pay for ad-free version. Bhaal works hard on this game, for the love of it more than anything else. He puts up with all of our whining and BS here and in the game itself.

I know he's killed the Crackle ad more than once, but he has to use some ad network to pay the server bills, etc. They keep sneaking it back in, but YOU personally, can make it go away for yourself in any round you wish.

Bhaal - November 7, 2011 04:43 PM (GMT)
Actually, the Crackle ad is an ad that hijacks the browser and redirects the entire browser to another page. I can't stand crap like that. I will find it and kill it (again).

Remember, not everyone has the permission (for those of us minors). But I would gladly pay $5 each age. Just saying, though.

Zilla - November 8, 2011 05:07 AM (GMT)
Yes,
I'll be getting a fivebucker account v28.
However it may be a good idea to Kill it regularly when clocks start.<_<

And again... 10am EST on Nov 9, it's back.

It's been a while since the Crackle ad has been around, but It's ALIVE...

I have a bunch of re-directs in the last while but I figured it was me.

Nosiin Arayla - May 20, 2012 02:04 PM (GMT)
How do you kill Zombie Ads?? This one just seems to keep coming back.

Bhaal - May 22, 2012 07:44 PM (GMT)
Booo! I hate this ad. I will try to find and kill it.

DarkDepths - June 21, 2012 03:13 PM (GMT)
Die! Die! Where's the silver bullets? Wooden stake through the heart? It just won't stay dead!
