Grab the Codex by the pussy
Jesus Christ, that's fucking obnoxious. :lol:

I'm torn between giving DU more money, or refusing because he allows an ad implementation resembling what you'd get on one of those shady "Create your own forum for free!" cookie-cutter websites registered in Bangladesh.

You'd think Chris Robers was prepared to mine your very specific market section further by offering patron status + virtual spaceship in a $999.95 bundle.

Grab the Codex by the pussy
Why give DU more money when you can give it to Chris Roberts.

Actually, Chris Roberts made me money—over $3,000 net profit, all told. I made a nice pile in a tiny fraction of the time you spend begging and scrounging for shitty games.

You need to adblock the whole field where the ads appear, Blaine, not just the banners. If you do that, it will shrink to a single line:

I know. I already have.

For Codexers who don't block ads in order to support the site, though (I'm guessing most of them), that's fucking obnoxious.

Good to know that someone's getting some good money and not wasting their time. And no, that's a genuine compliment.

As for the ads, I think they're just a way of running a huge internet community which still remains free to view, join, and do most stuff. Let's hope it can stay that way for a while longer. I would want more tangible rewards for directly funding the website though.

For Codexers who don't block ads in order to support the site, though (I'm guessing most of them), that's fucking obnoxious.

Last time I checked, codex with ads on has literal pop ups... so no, I think it'd only be a small niche of euros viewing it unblocked who don't know any better rather than a majority.

Ad-free codex has tapatalk pop-up ads on my phone. :negative:

Jesus Christ, that's fucking obnoxious. :lol:

I'm torn between giving DU more money, or refusing because he allows an ad implementation resembling what you'd get on one of those shady "Create your own forum for free!" cookie-cutter websites registered in Bangladesh.

Wait, are you actually complaining that it looks obnoxious because of your blocking ads? For the sake of explaining the obvious to everyone blocking ads who don't know: that large empty space is where the ad would appear if it wasn't adblocked.

What? Ad-free access disables ALL ads.

I disabled that yesterday so it shouldn't be showing any more. We might be ditching Tapatalk altogether in the near future anyway.

Yeah, I would probably throw in a donation if I could have a custom avatar or title of my choosing.

I would absolutely love decorating my avatar space with some of the funnier tags here, or slapping other people with some choicy horrible great tags. Why isn't this a feature? Especially since so many people here like to make fun of each other.

You have your chance to do that with some smart betting in DU vs Menck duel thread.

You know, once a browser game called Forumwarz was a thing and there you could troll other players by pranking them with avatars and custom titles. You could also buy new smilies and community ads. Great fun for the whole family!
