I use Stylish instead of Adblock Plus to block facepunch's ads. I win.
Just add [url]http://www.facepunch.com/*[/url] to your whitelist.
No ads and fp still works.
I refuse to stop blocking ads. I will either find an alternative way to block it, or, I will continue to use the styleless FP.
ITT: Ohno there's a picture with some text on at the bottom of the page it's so distracting and hindering my enjoyment.
You have to have ADHD or something to find that even the slightest bit distracting, they're not even playing sounds.
I guess what garry could do though would be actually getting ad contracts himself, leading to more relevant ads and also some kind of quality.

Worked. Thanks.

FYI you don't even have to look at them. Just having them there helps.
They're just there, you don't even have to acknowledge their existence, just let your browser load those 10KB and actually help the person running the website.
I never did think FP's ads were intrusive at all, so I'm cool with allowing ads on FP. Pretty smart move on Garry's part.

Apparently a while ago there were ads downloading Malware to peoples' computers. That's why there is a big fuss about it.

Must've been a long while ago, because I don't block ads, and I haven't gotten malware from here.

advertisements are detrimental to my enjoyment of this website

Also, i think Google will do their best to keep malware out of their system because the ads are basically the source of all their money.
I fixed the style by just whitelisting the stuff that just got put in the ad folder.
Why does Facepunch look like this:

?
Well the ads are at the bottom of the page and the top page ads go away when you log in. Its just a little money to run the forums I don't see why you should block it.

Good to hear, well ok I got another one; are we ever going to have one of those Hoff incidents again? If so, soon?

So you're happy to spend hours and hours on this website for free but you can't bare the thought of seeing a single unobtrusive advertisement at the bottom of the page
Jesus christ, you guys are shitheels

Not the point
I browse with a custom FP theme. Why? Because I like it that way. I block ads. Why? Because I like it that way.
And as a small site owner also find it frustrating when a user with ad-blocking comes by, but it's their freedom to block the ads, and I do not want ot take that freedom away from them.
For christ's sakes it's at the bottom of the fucking page, what is there to complain about.
Be glad you don't have to pay 10 dollars to post.
Are those ads really that terrible? Do you guys really have that much sand in your vaginas? Like Greeman said, you don't even have to pay to post. Stop nitpicking about little things if they are for your convenience.

Well, I'm a shitheel, don't judge everyone else based on my comment...
Posting here is a privilege, not a right. So quit bitching about the ads, these forums don't pay for themselves.
these ads make me feel like literal cattle i will not stand for this
the hivemind has spoken, death to ads :twisted:
