Got a heap of messages today, so hopefully this gives an insight. Ads are annoying. We will discuss that, but first lets talk about why this site has ads.
The need for ads
Ads on this site go a long way to keeping this site running. It provides constant funds to maintain current costs (hosting, myriad of software/addon licences) as well as future upgrades (for example recently paid a deposit for an updated player ratings module that costs 3k USD). A lot of features you guys see on here, that arent on most other forums cost money. Ads and contributor memberships enable us to provide that. In the ideal world, the less ads that would be on this site that are better.
Ad blockers
A lot of people use ad blockers. This community is generally really good. However a recent update found that ~20% of regular users on this site use ad blocks on this site. To alleviate that, in the past i have had to put more ads up. Thats a quick and shitty way of dealing with things and only disadvantages the users who either show ads or get a contributor membership.
Over the past few days, there has been enhancements on how adblockers are tracked. This found a bunch of previously undetectable adblock users. If you know you know - usually you get a notice at the top of each page alerting you to the fact. Adblocker users have somewhat limited account privileges. You will still be able to read and post, but some things may not be visible or served i.e. live postings etc.
Recommendation
I would not recommend turning adblock on and off many times on this page. If you are found to be using an adblocker, and get served the courtesy notice at the top to disable it, after viewing 3 pages (not 3 quick refreshes of the page lol) you will automatically have your account reinstated to full previledges. After the 2nd occurence of finding adblock again on your account, that goes to viewing 9 pages, the next one is at 15 and climbs higher and higher. If you are using an adblock, the recommendation is to whitelist the site. Unfortunately there are too many out there, so please dont contact me to help you out with that. Google is your best friend.
If you find you are adblocking and have turned it off, or wondering why you are getting the notice when you dont use such software, this page provides an insight for your account on when the adblock was detected:
If in doubt, send me a message.
Support
There is always an option to support the site currently and for the future by upgrading your account to a contributor membership. There is no obligation to do that.
TLDR; Dont use adblockers you bunch of freeloaders![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
