Teamliquid is one of the few sites I turn off adblock for.

I mean, the banner is tiny, it's not like some sites that have massive annoying side banners or something.

I had my adblock turned off on this site until I started watching user streams. I hate having the ads pop up while I'm watching the videos embedded from streaming sites. The worst part is Teamliquid doesn't even get money from those ads (as I understand it). I think my solution will be to have adblock turned off here, and rather than watching the embedded streams, just click the link to watch it on the streaming site itself, where I have adblock enabled.
It's easier not to.

My confusion is, does TL make money just for having the ads load, or only when the ads are clicked? Because honestly my brain is so wired to not click on popups/advertisements that I pretty much ignore them now :/ I mean if it will help you guys to have the ads just there, then by all means I'll gladly leave AdBlock off. I just don't understand how the whole advertisement banner system works.

And someone pointed out that the horsie is so cute it gives a reason to block ads. Could we ad-observing users get a little message of appreciation from the horsie next to the ads? PLEASE???

TL has a mix of ads, some pay per click, some pay per view. This is why even if you never click on ads, disabling adblock still helps to support sites with ads.

I'm not sure if youve just switched it to always show or it's my iPad but all I'm getting now is the AddBlock banner. Maybe it's the lack of flash support or just the plain weird connection string, but safari (mobile or otherwise) isn't that odd so it can't really be jscript.

So just a heads up that your missing out on views from the iPod/one/ad line. Every little but counts ! And don't want to put everyones good faith to waste by blocking a whole user base

Some ads are flash based, but they usually do browser detection to check for that. The horse banner is always shown if no ad loads, it doesn't specifically try to target adblock users.

I used to block TL because I watched streams here, then I realized I could watch streams on livestream or ustream and block those sites instead. Not that they don't deserve to make money, but their ads are really intrusive and annoying.

Although I do still get the horse banner.

I don't have adblock/noscript installed, but sometimes the horse banner is loaded instead of ads.

Sad horse staring at you until your soul melts far enough to disable adblock. Sniff.

Hokay, good deed for the day done, lets keep on messing around

[Edit] Untill is one l too much. Silly me.
There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity.
