Default Anyone running background music on their forum?
Just curious if anyone else here is running any background music on their forum. If so, how did you go about it. Suggestions welcome, thanks.

I would recommend against putting background music. I know that I'd immediately close the page if I heard background music, it's a deterrent for me.

Any page that forces background music on me is instantly closed and never visited again, it's one of the most annoying things you can ever do on a site.

I hate it on MySpace, when you visit someone's page (headphones on), then suddenly their punk music will blast on and startle you. Gah. Not that I'm a frequenter of MySpace.

I have it in my profile page, but that's it...not forum-wide, that's just irritating.

I agree with Jubei, plus I think MySpace is crap.

Make it right click to switch off but disable that too with one of those cute pop-up warnings.
