Hola,

I am new here and join because i like mmorpg but then i saw all the spyware and addware on this site. It is really so bad! I have to block all of it and my spyware warning is telling me to not go here.

They need money, otherwise there will be no MMORPG.com.

I use the same addon and I only get 4 sites blocked. I also use noscript and ghostry and a adblocker maybe thats why. I'm not too worried about it.

I've done this for years for Google tracking devices. I never show on analytics reporting. Started doing it for my job initially but found a personal use for it later.

Here's how it works.

I hate to say it but I did start using an adblocker on this site and I do filter out the practically porn advertising sometimes. I open gotomeetings with clients on 5 min. notice. I can't take the chance it could look a certain way to a client when I tell them I'm doing something for them and they switch to my computer with what looks like anime porn on it. I still see ads, I just filter the particularly annoying ones.

But don't you want to "Fight for Love"?
