I am never turning off my ad blocker for as long as i dont have to as your ads slow down the site and cover the screen. So you can stop asking me to turn off my ad blocker. Whats actually funny is i use the brave web browser which automatically has the ad blocker built into it.
I use Chrome with Avast anti-virus both in windows and on an Android phone (I prefer Chrome on my phone to the forum app). Since the turn off your ad blocker doesn't come up every time I read a thread, I suspect it only comes up when an ad is actually blocked and since there are routinely ads overlaying messages it is likely only dangerous ads are blocked. I can't say that for sure, but all management needs to do is test ads for safety.

Re: Lol wtf silly realgm
What gets me is now they've added a horribly intrusive pop-up ad that shows up when I browse on mobile since the adblocker I like won't work with my out of date phone. So I get the worst of both worlds, a terrible pop-up, and a plead from realgm to please turn off my adblocker. This site is going down the toilet.

I got the blocker message reading your post, but when I X'ed out of it there was an ad in the corner of my screen.

Re: Lol wtf silly realgm
I think it used to be worse about 12-14 years ago. Back then, I kept getting Spyware on my computer. I only visited major sites like ESPN and no obscure sites. But, I kept getting them whenever I visited RealGM. I am sure that has been corrected but been using Ad-Blockers ever since back then. That and block audio/video. I use a different browser for that stuff.

Provin Ya'll Wrong!!!

Re: Lol wtf silly realgm
On my phone I’m getting both incessant ads AND something asking me to turn off the ad blocker.
I’m not supposed to have to deal with both of those guys. It’s one or the other.
