    A New UCP Suggestion: Sound Clips

    I just randomly thought of this idea, that it would be cool if certain areas of UCP like say the very top banner that goes back to the homepage cound have sound clip when you click on them. Like say an F1 drive by vrrrrrm!

    Then say you click on the link to forums and you here a large group of people talking, it could even be people at a race track.

    Paid subscription could have that cashier "cha ching"

    etc etc etc. But keep it simple and not corny sounds, just something to liven up the UCP a bit.

    only cheap websites do that-(and company owned ones like mini) ucps more in the upper strata of the middle class-therefore too good for cheap sounds

    Yea that was my thought too, I don't want to listen to little sounds that interfere with my music, unless you could turn them off I wouldn't like them.
    But like R34GTR mentioned, sound clips of the cars in the database would be a great edition to the site.

    Haha, stupid transformers! That website can really cause seizures to photosensitive people, though. I read somewhere there was a Pokemon episode in Japan that caused seizures because of the alternating red and blue lights.

    Edit:
    Found it:
    On December 16, 1997, 685 Japanese children were admitted into hospital with convulsive epileptic seizures. It was determined that the cause of the seizures were a result of watching an episode of Pokémon, 「でんのうせんしポリゴン」 ("Computer Soldier Porygon", see Banned episodes of Pokémon). In this particular episode, there were bright explosions with rapidly-alternating blue and red color patterns. It was determined in further research that these strobing light effects can sometimes cause some sensitive individuals to have epileptic seizures, even if they haven't had any previous history of epilepsy. As a consequence, many video game makers (including Nintendo) have added warning labels (or made pre-existing ones more prominent) on their video game products warning that exposure to video games may cause photosensitive epilepsy in some individuals. -Courtesy Wikipedia

    Clearly the proposers have not been subjected to adverts for that bloody frog ringtone.

    The ones that played all the time didnt' last long and everyone blocked them so they stopped.
    THEN you got the "smarter" ones that only played the bloody frog when you ran the mouse over. I'm sure that sounded reasonble in the marketing suite of the comapny who came up with the idea. The reality is it's just as annoying as you end up having to move your mouse in circles AROUND these stupid ads to make sure you dont' get a one second blast of that annoying noise.

    no thanks. Let me CHOSE when I want to hear somethign , don't force it on me.
