Because of the responses, a lot of people seem offended and don't get the joke. It seems its a sensitive subject and we'd rather not be lumped in with people who actually mean the "Don't Hurt ESPORTS" bs.

If you guys don't care about things that are hurting esports, then you guys are hurting esports.

If you aren't for esports, you are against it.

... you know, maybe we should just include disclaimers to guide the confused people around, like this.

This post is a joke and I'm being sarcastic. Please don't take this seriously and flame me.

Oh, and read a book or something.

I got adblock recently so I didn't know how to filter sites. Thanks for this! I just did it.

BTW do not think that the ads are making TL "rich", because it takes a ton of views to get a decent income from a forum with Google AdSense.

I don't only have adblock on teamliquid; I keep my adblock on at all times for any website.

Good for TL that you found a way to get revenue, but does it have to be with ads for things that are immoral? (the 'asian dating' type) I find it so naive to just talk about 'ads' and how you should allow them because magically TL gets money, but actually it encourages people to engage in what are either scams or forms of human trafficking, and then TL gets a cut of the money made that way. I don't want to support that.

Why is there an elephant and not a TL horse? isn't the horse the mascot?

I did disable ad-block but then I started getting extremely loud commercials that can't be muted (not okay!) when watching streams via teamliquid.net

The TL horse never cries.

If I've never clicked on an internet ad and purchased a product, and I've never purchased a product from any sponsor of TL, am I also hurting the elephant?

Because technically I am reducing the average return on investment of internet advertising, and therefore reducing ad revenue, and therefore hurting TL, and therefore hurting elephants. God I'm such a bad person...

How much money has been transfered (by buying things from seeing ads, or from direct donations) from you to TL as a result of your shameless 100% support?

LOL you do realize often times sites get paid by the number of times the ad is displayed, regardless of if someone clicked it or even bought anything right? It doesn't sound like you know this but your smug attitude makes it sound like you should know this.

Unofficial mascots are much more popular than official ones.

Just ask Fatso, the Fat Arsed Wombat.

Wow, I hope this is a joke and that you're changing it back soon.

"Don't hurt this elephant" doesn't make any sense. At least change it to "don't hurt Elly"?

Who else did adblock TL just to see it? It's a shame that even TL has to be 'politically correct'.

What about TSL1,2,3? their team?

I think he means they pay people with the money too. But in that case, the money is motivating intelligent and dedicated individuals to devote their time to ESPORTS.

Also, I get adds for fashion houses and electronic music... hmmm.

Also, fyi, we ban anyone that asks for a ban or says "they will ban me" automatically. If there are issues with moderation feel free to make a thread in website feedback.

I disable adblock on teamliquid. However, I also use noscript and that blocks some banner ads. I do not want to turn it off because I generally find the ads it blocks to be annoying.

I don't have adblock for tl.net, but all the "wtf is that" faces i'm getting from my mom, when I'm reading a post and there's "HAVE YOU FOUND YOUR LATIN WOMAN?" on the right side of the screen are getting on my nerves.

Edit: is there any way to turn of those types of adds?

I Disable my addblock for sites that I am happy to support (like Team Liquid). Some sites just have way to many adds and gets annoying, however, Team Liquid's adds are very manageable and don't really get in the way or force me to click on them by accident.
