EPTI'm already paying Verizon to use the internet. I have no tolerance for ads or solicitations. If I could do something to remove annoying billboards on the road, I'd cut those too.

Seeing how ads is one of the better ways a site can actually make money, since they do not charge for anything. | ||

Sure it's a little annoying having a flashy Razer ad for products I'll never buy being beamed at me, but it's a fair price to pay for a site I visit multiple times a day IMO. + Show Spoiler + Plus, who can resist when the horse asks? | ||

Ads help website generate revenue, and by blocking them, you prevent that from happening. plus those plush horseys are cute =D | ||

Like the girl threads always have like some online dating service ad on the top, or cat threads have cat-related ads. I'm already paying Verizon to use the internet. So am I...so are lots of people. The people who aren't are likely paying other providers for their internet. You're not paying TL to visit the site. You're not paying Verizon MORE to have or not have ads. It's a little tiny bar at the top of the site...you don't even see it 99% of the time cause you're reading a thread or posting and it's scrolled to the top of the page. It's not even an annoying ad, like the ones on Livestream that totally block your content or anything. Just a tiny little bar that you could un-block to support Team Liquid. I guess you can't "tolerate" doing just a little bit to help TL. | ||

If you go to the adblock dropdown you can just click "disable on Teamliquid.net" and it'll un-block on any TLnet page (so far that I've seen anyways) | ||

It's because of how cute that Horse is, really. Anyone who's created a banner that loveable has got to have some shred of humanity. | ||
