Folks,

We've recently improved our statistic monitoring and have become aware that nearly 27% of last months traffic had a version of 'adblock' installed. In Layman's terms, nearly 30% of you exclude any of our adverts.

Now, our sponsors have trackers on their adverts to see how many times their adverts are being loaded, which they evaluate careful prior considering any sponsorship renewal - so you can see the problem we have.

Our adverts are not intrusive, and clearly, we rely on them to help keep this place maintainable. GOT is by some margin my biggest expense and the long and short of it is, if our sponsors dont renew and I can't secure an alternative - GrandOldTeam dies.

Play the game - if you have adblock, make the two clicks required to add us to your safe/whitelist.

Instructions
(Instructions may vary depending on the adblock software and version you run, please reply if you're unsure)

1. Click on the Adblock Icon (Usually top right of your browser)

2. Click 'Don't run on pages on this domain' (Or, 'Add to Whitelist' or 'Exclude Adblock on this domain)

3. Finally, confirm your option

Don't tell me as a user of your forum if something isn't intrusive to the way i use it, it was intrusive and i didn't like looking at the adverts or (sometimes but very rarely, but i am sure you will disagree) pop ups that actually came from some of the adverts, it's in my choice to decide what is is intrusive to my usage or not.

It's his bloody forum. He makes the rules.

I can imagine it's pretty expensive and time consuming to run a forum as popular as this one. The least we can do is put up with a couple of adverts here and there.

I clicked a few adverts before. The new Peugeot 108 looks alright actually!

Just because it's his forum doesn't mean you can't disagree with them. That's like saying you can't disagree with the goverments rules either as it's THEIR BLOODY COUNTRY!?!/1!?1?!!?1/1


Read the rest of my posts, in which i have said i do not mind turning it off, but the adverts can be annoying.

You can disagree with the government's rules. You can vote for another party. You pay money to be in this country (AKA Tax). You don't pay money to be here, although some people do.

If you want you could just post on NSNO? Seems like everything's been covered anyway.

Thanks a lot Adam

The likes of that is why I bumped this, so many will have it without realising - it's becoming standard and it's crippling to sites that need adverts to keep fees realistic.
