Zen of Sudoku on Main Page

I think the sound on that one should be disabled on default. Maybe it's just me but it's really annoying to have flash stuff with sound on default. Makes me draw immeadiate parallell to retarded flash ads with sounds (annoying like hell). But luckily with adblock plugin for FF I can block it totally.

Just a suggestion.

    Meh, it isnt that bad.

    I agree, though. It doesent need to sound too attract people too it. It's the only bright moving thing on the page, people are going to notice it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />

    I think a great (albeit perhaps harder to implement) compromise would be to make a new "no sound on this ad" button and use browser cookies or some other method to remember whether a user has pressed it in the past.

    How about making the user have to move their mouse over the flash animation to play the sounds, that would be easier.

    Its kinda repetitive but I find it relaxing, some way don't know <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />. With that birds "pee pee" and clicks, it's not bad for me <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />.

    Heh. I thought it was a little annoying myself, but thought it might attract more people to the site. I will probably remove this soon. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    While music while browsing would be neat, as with the Sudoku sound, make sure people can disable it...
