Advertising AdBlock

[IDtenT]

Why don't you just disable the ads in your account if you have patronage?

Why don't you just eat a dick?

I can't stand entitled faggots calling others entitled faggots.

Are you using AdBlock?

How would you feel if I disabled it?

Hey DU.

I feel like SMT on the matter.

They are too annoying for me; even with Talu being good about getting rid of the annoying ones. But there are always new ones.

I know I could disable ads for money but I can barely buy enough food to not starve; I haven't bought any games, alcohol, clothes or anything non-essential since last May.

I feel like I've been here long enough to enjoy an ad-free experience out of sheer seniority and entitlement. Almost ten years soon!

If you disabled it I'd feel saddened and annoyed but would likely, in the end, bear it grudgingly. I guess we're not entitled to free entertainment. And you've brought me so much joy already.

Another consideration: if I had to see the ads I would hit my bandwidth limit too quickly. I can only use 5000 MB a month; after that my speed is 4 kb / s which makes it very hard to do anything.

I really hope you mean 4MB/s, because otherwise that'd be slower than dialup.

Disabling adblock would be a public service.

All the money people could be saving by taking advantage of the special offers is reason enough.

I use adblock, and ghostery. I also pitch in to all campaigns codex runs. I've disabled adblock for codex just now, and the only difference is affiliate links. How much do you get if you buy stuff through those?

 

[Taluntain]

About 5% on average IIRC.

 

[Yaar Podshipnik]

Not bad then. Will remember to use it to buy good books recommended on the reading thread.

Back on topic - I don't care if you disable it, as long as I don't have to do anything tedious to be able to browse codex and have adblock running on other sites.

DarkUnderlord, if you want to fuck with those using AdBlock, on top of the fascist moderation style (like tagging people that disagree with mods and shit like that), then you've really lost your way and forgot why you had to leave TerraArcanum and start the Codex. If you think that continuously fucking with people is in some way better than outright locking threads, I am disappoint.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Blocking adblock users from posting won't achieve anything because people who use it are not very likely to click on ads, even if you force them to see all the advertisements on the page. And there are other ways of blocking ads anyway.

There are other things I can disable.

 

[Ulminati]

I'd like to see more posts in this thread from people who are actually using adblock.

I gave money to the codex for ad-free browsing, yet I am prevented from posting in this thread without exposing my browser to shit in other tabs. Since I am no longer receiving the service I paid for, I would like a full refund.

I encourage all codex patrons to follow this example. Say no to the Aussies rotten potatoes.

 

[Ulminati]

Test.

If this shows up, there's a fairly simple way to bypass the anti-adblock script with greasemonkey, which can be easily shared with other people. I guess it's a question of whether or not you want to risk the donation goodwill and end up in an arms race with a forum full of programmers who will take this as ample encouragement to circumvent your efforts.

 

[Kaucukovnik]

You are happy to get paid for displaying ads nobody ever clicks, so shove that moral high ground. You don't guarrantee your advertisers income, why would you expect the same?

And yeah, your magic is strong and I had to disable adblock to post this. Now stick that magic in your portfolio and move on, please.

 

[Ranselknulf]

Well no-script on firefox still seems to work.

Of course it does, It's not like XenForo uses magic to fuck with AdBlocker.

Fucking poorfags, you woudn't adblock a car would you? I used to give one internet a day to the codex, but since admins here are a bunch of worthless cunts they can suck my dick.

Fuck internet explorer, you can't even uninstall that shit on windows 8. Only choose an option to "disable" it.

That's what you deserve for using Windows 8.

I know, but you can't really understand how bad a system is until you've used it and tried to modify it.

Linux will be coming for me soon ;p

but, i do have the same sentiments for people who use internet explorer.

Adolf Hitler?

Adolf Hitler?

You're doing Godwin's Law wrong.

You need to compare somebody to Hitler.

I use Adblock mostly for uninterupted streams or online videos, since there's no avoiding ads on those. When I start browsing a forum/news portal on a regular basis, I just support it. So, if Adblock was disabled, I'd fall back on those precious potatoes.

That said, it's possible that being invaded by Ads might turn off some people who would've eventually donated (optimistic, I know)

 

[skuphundaku]

Adolf Hitler?

Did you call for me? (I have been called a nazi for not being thoroughly pro-Russian and prostrating myself in front of God-Emperor Putain in the Ukraine thread, so I am assuming this dramatis personae).

Appeasment never works. I should know. Look at all those fools that fell for my ruse in the '30s.
