Do that for a few hours when you're afk. :p Would work if you used thousands of proxies maybe but I assume they have ways to spot repeated visits and they don't generate as much (if any) revenue after a certain number of visits. | ||

I found it when I first came to TL. This post only pertains to the Firefox AdBlock Plus extension though, I have no idea for other browsers or set ups. If you want to allow AdBlock for the main site but not for streams unless you otherwise choose to then do the following: First, you need to enter preferences of your AdBlock, be clicking on the button and then preferences. This will open up a screen which bottom left says "Add filter..." click that to have a text input box appear. Paste the following line in to it: @@/http:\/\/www.teamliquid.net(?!\/video\/streams).*/$document And then press enter and then ok. You should now see adverts on all pages except the stream pages, and so although you'll still be blocking TL when you view streams you can support them whilst you use the rest of the site. Using this method will deprive people who stream of their income as well though so if they're not abusing adverts the consider accepting them for that page too, doing so won't interfere with the above script. | ||

"The smarter we get, the more unscrupulous they get in their methods" is not a very compelling argument against being smart, Nuke. | ||

To me, TL is LITERALLY the most harmless site I can think of. No need for an adblock, this place is legit | ||
