Yeah, the Elephant succesfully guilted me into disabling addblock for TL.
However, every time I see an add about how to find a korean girlfriend or some such I consider turning it on again.

I've never used adblock and I've never been tempted to. Ads just don't bother me at all.

However, after the site changes recently, I feel like every single page lags for a couple seconds before loading. It's starting to drive me nuts, and I think it might be the new ads. I'm becoming tempted to try adblock on TL, but I don't want to hurt elly

Anyone else experiencing this lag after the change, or any tips to fix it?

From looking at the bottom, the site lags every time it says "Waiting for a.collective-media.net..." for about 4 seconds a page. No one else experiences this?

Does adblock prevent ads from loading or it just blocks the images?

It is 2 different issues. If every person adblocked TL do you think TL could afford to even run and exist? Even if you "contribute" by posting on the forum how does that help TL actually pay it's bills and survive?

I really have to agree with Nazghul here.

I get so much out of this site in terms of news, updates, drama and just pure entertainment in addition the mlg, ipl live sites etc.

there are NO pop ups, no nothing, you dont have to pay anything, just push one button :§

I actually used it to block parts of the site that I found ugly as well. I also blocked the Elephant image!

I use AdMuncher as a standalone tool to safely browse the internet. AdMuncher is really good at its job, which is more than just blocking commercial ads in browsers. On most sites I go to, I filter it to allow advertisements. Unfortunately, part of the reason AdMuncher is so good is that it doesn't like to allow third party calls even on websites you "trust".

So while I see advertisements like TLAF and clickable links from the TeamLiquid server, third party banner calls still get blocked. I'm still searching and lobbying for the makers to find a solution to this for people who want it. One day I will be able to stop feeling so guilty.

I think R1CH needs to get to work and have the site detect if ad blocker is enabled or not and if it is - the whole site cannot be viewed.

Nope. Unblocked TL the moment I found out how and that was a year or two ago. In fact, TL is the only site I unblocked ads for.

However I did block the flying monkeys because they annoyed the shit outta me while I was trying to read that icon thread. :D

Out of curiousity, how far up your behind did you reach to get that figure? And what content have YOU made for the community?

I don't mind so much people using adblock on TL, but all the self-righteous defence and indignation from people who do use adblock is obnoxious.

Honestly, I don't understand this mentality. Clearly, TL and the TL community both benefit from each other, and both TL and the community do things that the other couldn't. We would not exist the way we are now without each other. However, what the guy said is partly true. If everyone used adblock on TL, we'd have shut down, no matter how many people wrote news articles. It's your browser, it's your right to do whatever you wish. But we believe we're justified in asking (nicely) for you to disable it. Obviously, we'd never ban or shitlist people who use adblock, just cast righteous, elitist judgment on you.

As for the "Don't Hurt ESPORTS" text, obviously it was a joke. We were making fun of people who always used that tagline no matter what. We don't actually think that. It's amazing how many people took it seriously, so many that we had to remove it.

We've always dealt with this sort of stuff in a very straight forward way, so it is what it is: our banner ads are a (hopefully minor) inconvenience to users but it really helps TL out.

I don't use AdBlock, but I use a HOSTS file for the same purpose. I don't think there's any way to unblock TL without being also being flooded by intrusive ads from other sites.
