I stopped giving a shit about the well-being of GameFAQs when they started running malware ads, malicious redirects, and poorly-coded animated ads which used to lock my browser up and crash it every time they loaded.
Nor does it really help that pretty much every coding or design change they've made over the last 5 years or so has been for the worse, and the primary function of the site (hosting FAQs) has become more and more obsolete as time passes. I have zero motivation to sacrifice my own convenience for their sake at this point. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ... Copied to Clipboard!

If Gamefaqs is willing to buy me a new computer every year because the previous one became a useless paperweight due to the malware infection their ads have caused me, then I will gladly remove ad block from my browser.

I don't want to help gamefaqs. I complained about ads with sound before. You can mute and pause them but a new ad will start playing again so pausing and muting is pointless.
Their response was that I had to name every intrusive ad and using adblock was more convenient than the hoops they wanted me to jump through. --- Next Xbox will be named Xbox1 2 ... Copied to Clipboard!
