If they don't want people to block ads, they can start by not having insanely annoying ads taking up so much space.

Id be willing to whitelist GameFAQs if theyre needing ad revenue, but not if the ads continue to get more and more intrusive with each passing day.

I don't believe I have ever seen an ad on GameFAQs. I intend to keep it that way.

The irony is that I am on mobile without an ad blocker, and the text of TCs post was completed disrupted by an ad.

Edit: See post 11!

Huh yea I don't recall those inlay video ads that are inside users posts until like now. I was just getting really good at x'ing out other ads on mobile as quick as possible.

don't modern ad-blockers do it in such a way that the ad server thinks the ad was served up, but just doesn't display it? so basically the site still gets ad revenue, but we don't have to see annoying crap? the losers are the ones paying for the ads that don't get seen.

Those ads exist, so Fandom is still bring paid to show them, whether they are blocked or not.

Users who have adblockers still have value for websites.

Okay so are Gamefaqs going to vet ads to make sure they are safe and apropiate for viewing in public?

Yeah, GameFaqs isn't paid per ad it shows, before you even open a page and block the ad, GameFaqs has already been paid for that ad.

Just tried GFAQS on Microsoft Edge which hasn't got any ad blockers in it to see what all the fuss was about and NOPE!

Fandom can go take their fucking stinking evil pieces of shit ads and go shove them up their asses especially that new drop down one. Whoever came up with that monstrosity should be kicked hard in the nuts with steel capped boots.

My Firefox ad-ons stay on and thank God for ad blockers.

I actually just started blocking them today, had to switch to Firefox just for Gamefaqs. The ads suddenly got worse, I couldn't even click them off. Any time I would click a new topic I would have to back out of the ad back to the topic list then click the topic again. The ads within the topic were far more intrusive as well, and what really made me switch was an ad that was completely covering the text and following as I scrolled.
