Why? 2 reasons. 1. it is a a very unproductive activity for society, in which yet a lot of money, time, and energy is thrown (away). How many people work to make ads? and for what purpose? Wouldn't all this be better used somewhere else? 2. the content of ads is generally not a celebration of the intelligence of man. Quite the contrary. I am definitely willing subscribe to teamliquid, like paying a monthly fee; sure they deserve it. I do that for other websites, like news sites. I suggest that TL organizes this (if you are a subscriber, we suppress ads for you). But no ads sorry  It's depressing to read the shit people come up with to justify blocking ads. | ||

- open teamliquid.net - right click somewhere on the screen - pick "Edit site preferences" from the drop down menu (2nd one from the bottom). - go to "Content" tab. - uncheck "Enable content blocking" that's checked on by default. | ||

No need to be so rude when people don't agree with you (Man, you are an admin! at least, please respect the rules you ask others to respect, even if you disagree with posted content). | ||

Seeing so many people come here as a regular visitors all the while blocking ads, justifying by whatever reasoning makes them feel better about it, is upsetting to read. Well, as a reaction to this I added TL to my Adblock Whitelist. Those few ads won’t kill me and if it helps you a lot, well, here you are. | ||

I wonder what TL peeps think about it? Lets say you won't get any adds if you subscribe, i wonder would it be significant increase on the revenue this way compared to keeping the adds on? | ||

Well I won't come down to such a level of discussion, but I have to say it makes me a bit wondering about TL to know that mods are actually acting like this. Having said that, I don't see why making a subscription fee wouldn't be a respectable option to consider; I have seen many websites proposing this "ads vs fee" exchange, and it seemed to work for them. You should even make more money, which seems to be your goal here; as this fee would be nothing but an extra option. | ||

You really need to read the 10 commandments to put the mods behavior in perspective. Their house, they are not gonna kick themselves out for being rude. You come to their house and be rude, then you arent welcome. Something like that. | ||
