I love ad blockers

 


Yes me too. Bet you'd love to work hard and put a lot of money into something for people to use and not even make a contribution towards.


I give you traffic and link your site to other forums like on sites I mod at Gamespy for news/articles giving it more traffic and hits.

As for ads don't tell me you skip past ads when reading a mag or a recorded show on TV.

And no contribution..I guess posting on the forums which they were meant for means nothing.

 


Traffic isn't much use if you block the ads. That just costs money to host but doesn't pay anything back! We get paid per impression not per click - doesn't matter if you click through or not but blocking ads from displaying cuts off any revenue that the site can try to generate.

I obviously appreciate people linking to and promoting the site and apologies if my original comment was a little harsh but I do feel like people that block ads (and especially those who go and boast about it) are basically sticking two fingers up to all the work and time that goes into the site. It's like me going into a shop and just helping myself to whatever I want without paying for it. I want to keep the site free for you guys and have advertisers fund its existance, but if you block the ads (as about 1/4 - 1/3 of users now are) then it really makes things an uphill struggle.


I am on Firefox and I disabled adblock for this site, but he top banner advert and the one below the "Forum Posts" box isn't appearing... I also have NoScript turned off for this site, and just did a "temporarily unlock" to all the things it listed (google analytics was one thing) to see if it made them appear but they are still not showing.

The one in the centre of the page still shows (there is one after Slorgnets post) What's going on?
