I run adblockers to stop malicious and intrusive content, which you do not control, from being loaded to my browser.
No, I will not turn it off and expose my system to ad-farm content you do not control just so you can make 0.03 on the views.
I've visited this site for years, but the quantity of ads on the site, the content of the ads themselves, and the more intrusive the adblock removal begging becomes, the less apt I am to visit. When over half the 'content' on the page is ads, why would I want to support that? At some point, why would I continue to even visit?
Forced site view ads is an intrusive, dieing revenue model. Time to find a new one.
Most of you clearly have no clue how this works. MMORPG.com has barely if not any control over the ads that get served on their website. They have to trust on the ad network. So if the fault is there, mmorpg.com would serve malicious ad until somoeone notices it and reports it. This is how the most serious and respected websites have served malicious ads in the past.
And if its 0day, your virusscanner is useless too. Without adblocker, you are simply not protected, unless you stop visiting websites that use ad networks.
no offens to you guys but if i like to watch ecchi stuff ill go to a manga/hentai site
ps: I can wait 10 secs..
Why does an ad need to run scripts on my browser?
While running Ad-block in Chrome, I clicked on the ad-block Icon in my upper corner of the browser. Select "Show All Requests" Then right click on MMORPG.com and select Inspect. Click on the AdBlock Tab and then refresh the page.
On this site right now on the home page, I am seeing some red flags. OK, the one all the way at the bottom is from "Securepubads"

But just because someone decides to swim in piranha infested water and say "Why am I not getting eaten?", doesn't mean I'm sticking my big toe in.
But yea as far as your analogy is concerned. You are saying the malware is all over the place. I have over 10k hours internet use and yes there's some dangerous stuff out there. But that is why we have what is called trusted sites. I didn't pull a bucket out of the ocean. I have been swimming through the entire thing.
I think the big thing is having a good internet security program. I run Norton Internet Security and in my opinion one of the best on the market (yes I know it isn't top on a lot of review sites). Yet I have used Norton for years, think close to 12 years now and never been infected.
Noticed one thing after whitelisting, the site seems to run smoother and faster. Maybe it's me but the site actually looks better with it off. Just an observation!
