Blocking ads is akin to stealing. Most sites support themselves through banner ads. By blocking those ads, you're freeloading their content and leeching their server resources and bandwidth.

... and animated banners and popus are anoying and a terrible unfriendly slap in the face of fair users. PS: I think Promoxitron is the name of the app.

If you buy a newspaper, you don't have to look at the ads, but the advertisers still pay for them. When you block banner ads, advertisers don't pay for them. Your analogy doesn't work.

I have no interest in developing a client; I run web sites. By blocking the ads on these web sites, you're freeloading content and consuming server resources and bandwidth. If you don't understand this simple concept, then maybe you should get a life.

RealBigSwede just showed her real colors.
CycloCide runs this place and you are his guest, if you had a clue you wouldn't have insulted him.

Go get Mozilla you stupid microsoft IE users. Why are you still using microsoft products? What the hell is wrong with you?

With Mozilla you can selectively allow ads on sites like this where you want to help support them. You can shut off pop ups and other NASTY microsoft FORCED ON YOU crap, why you are still using IE is beyond me, except that you are locked into microsoft blinder vision and are computer LAME.

Mooo, mooo all the other cows are doing it......

And unreg you are the freaking cow that alowing the freaking ads Moo back to you...
and the secound thing is NOONE said anything before this, when one other person said somthing about Proxomitron.
So don't start having doubble standard.
and thirdly the is NOT written anything when you signup, that you have to have the dumb ads on you computer when reading post or posting on this forums.
and unreg to say somthing about server resources and bandwidth, and ADS STEALING the biggest chunk of them!!!! remember you complaind about Kathys moving Icon and others icons, so just clam it.. and have the gut and reg yourself
and CycloCide I have the right to have whatever program I like on my computer. and I did not mean to say it so hard as it came out.

Cool

Hello!

Well it seems that all the fuzz in this thread is originating from a misconception between RealBigSwede and CycloCide the system administrator.

Personally I think it is Okay to block Pop Up adds on sites that uses them especially multiple Pop Ups are hated.Pop Up adds must be the single most hated phenomena on the Internet it is close to user terrorism and they do not do no one any good.Not the users that will get very slow surf speeds and alot of irritating windows to close and not the companys that uses them because the users(visitors) hates them they will get irritated towards the companys that uses them so their brand name will suffer from it.Conclusion no one benefits from them they are just harmfull and I have a hard time believing that CycloCide actually likes them so I thinks that it is OK to block those *******s(Pop Up's).

What I do not think is Ok is to block Banner adds.The reason is because they are not as harmfull nor irritating as Pop Ups and yeat they are the ones that pay us visitors.The payment is the ability for us visitors to freely(for free) visit for instance a newspapers web site.If many users start to block those adds then the willingness amongst advertisers to pay for advertisment severly diminishes and we the users will suffer from it because alot more sites would start to charge us money instead and I and most others do not want that.These are the types of Adds that I think CycloCide are reffering to when he states that he do not like add aware software.But I do not think that he has anything against blocking of Pop Up's surely he must hate them just as anyone else does.
