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

Had to enable adblocker on this site today. Had it off for a long time but today got unofficial flash and java sites saying I need to update them to view forums. This is when both are up to date. I dunno if anyone else has been getting this at all. I thought I would report it in here as would love to keep this site unblocked, but atm the only way I can view the forums is with it blocked

Thanks. I think this has now been resolved.

Yesterday, Google Analytics tracked 324,181 page impressions.

So GrandOldTeam pages were loaded 324,181.

Our adverts however, were loaded 113,712 times...

Poor that.

Hi mate, I would love to be advertised a Thai bride or some luxury lingerie, but it just won't happen for me. I know it's probably not a priority but I thought I'd give you a screenshot anyway. I've closed the browser and opened it again and turned adblock on and off but it always registers as though I have it on.

Sure that's right?

I didn't know anywhere near that fraction of people used AB.
