It doesn't sound like you know this but your smug attitude makes it sound like you should know this. I didn't ask how much TL had been paid as a result of that user, but rather, how much money has been transfered from the user to TL by whatever means. Consider the ideal money flow: User sees ad. User buys item. Business makes a profit and gives a cut to TL for the marketing. A business wouldn't pay for ads knowing they will never give a return. Let's look at the money flow that people seem to be advocating in this thread: User ignores ad. User doesn't buy item. Business makes no profit but pays TL anyway. Do you see a problem here? | ||

No, do you see a problem here? This whole thread is about supporting TL. Try to stay with me here: No Ad Block - Ad shows up, ad has potential to be clicked, ad has potential to sell user ad's product, TL gets money regardless, TL can continue to operate and pay for server costs, upgrades, etc edit - Can't believe this even needs to be told to you but the company isn't paying TL to sell their products, they are paying TL to get their product exposure - it's a little thing called advertising. | ||

More normal ads like the League of Legends app I see right now is fine with me. Some people are on laptops, so there's a good reason for them to remove them. Yeah, it does use more battery life. And Firefox has memory leaks that take it to 900MB usage if left overnight without no script. It's low usage if no script is on every site. You could also use the already made hosts file from the winhost2002 people + your own set of things On November 04 2011 05:40 bN` wrote: 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? You'll probably need adblock/edited hosts file/no script ( the third one does block images even though that isn't the main purpose of it and not images are blocked ) | ||
