Let's get back to the discussion, shall we?

Download Firefox or Chrome and get AdBlock Plus for plugins. They do not need admin rights to be installed (for work). I have them at work.
Also, on phones (or in certain cases- PC), I have Java Script shut off. It limits you from performing certain things on this site, mainly replying; I rarely do anyway so it works for me.

Why in the world would you use this site without adblock?



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

You won't be the first and certainly will not be the last to be redirected to adblock on these forums.

The thing is if they were less intrusive less people would use adblock here and there would be a ton more ad revenue generated from it, but as it stands only those ignorant of the ways to avoid the ads are paying all the bills. If they were toned back to an acceptable lvl more people would let them appear and give ad hits.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

You didnt hear this from me but addblock plus solves your problem


Can't use that on my work computer though, and there isn't a mobile version either, as far as I know.

The mobile version of Firefox allows for add-ons so you can have AdBlock on your phone.

I didn't think the mobile Firefox broswer was available on iOS.

The worst is when on Android (no longer using a smartphone) an auto ad that redirects your phone to a game on the play store.  I heard it also happens on iphones.

It does. That's the absolute best way to lose traffic to a site too. No one wants to feel like they're phone is being taken over.

I literally downloaded adBlock today because of this site. I turned it of for youtube though, just so that I can feel like my measly 0,002 dollars per view ( that's at least what one of the youtubers i watch said) still get contributed.

That is mot a convincing argument to stop using addblock.
