Excellent, coin, gear and more !!

They must be a great bunch of chaps.  I must go browse.

Strange. I'm not seeing any banners at all here now. And I haven't turned on adblocking or anything.


Title: Re: Um.... Schild?
Post by: HaemishM on October 31, 2006, 12:10:27 PM
Thankfully, the new version of Avant Browser blocks all the ads from here now, and I haven't been able to figure out how to turn it off.


Title: Re: Um.... Schild?
Post by: schild on October 31, 2006, 03:06:18 PM
Deal with that when I get home tonight, thanks.

Those ads are probably showing up on 1up.com also.

I don't even know what that means. But odds are, it makes you an asshole.

Edit: Remember, these aren't pay per click.

Mine says I get a free laptop if I click the banner and that I am also the 1,000,000th visitor, which is nice.

So I was right.

You can hardly be ever wrong by calling me an asshole. Guilty as charged. What I was posting is largely irrelevant to that observation. Oh and 127.0.0.1 is like SB.EXE for adds.

Yeah, who cares...I hardly notice. That may be in part because every time I look it's shit like "Who is hotter: Hillary Duff or some other chick?" or some shit having to do with something called Zwinky.

Way to hit that target demographic, assholes.  :hello_kitty:

Ah that explains it. I've been using the new Avant for a couple of weeks now. I guess the ads have been gone all that time I never even noticed. Let me know if you find a way to turn off the adblocking and I'll do it.


Title: Re: Um.... Schild?
Post by: tar on November 01, 2006, 02:56:21 AM
Admittedly I haven't upgraded to the latest version of Avant, but it's probably in more or less the same place:

Tools -> Avant Browser Options -> Ad Blocker

In there should be a checkbox for overall enable/disable as well as a black list and exception list.


Title: Re: Um.... Schild?
Post by: Reg on November 01, 2006, 05:24:11 AM
Nope, it's nothing so obvious as that. Nothing related to adblocking is turned on but I'm still not seeing them.

It actually IS the Adblocker. It has a list of blocked URL's and *.a.tribalfusion.* or some such is the one spewing out the ads on F13. If you want to see the ads on this site, remove that one from your AdBlocker list. Or keep it in the filter and never see them again.

But I am to lazy to visit the site so instead here is my claim number. I am SURE this claim number can't be used more than once so the lucky person will be the first one who reads this post first.

I might have to remove Ad-sense from my blog since I noticed this morning it generated a gold seller I had blacklisted days ago.  I probably won't miss much, as my blog is so unpopular that it risks generating an anti-visitor singularity.  I was curious if it would flip Ad-sense and give me all money.

This site has adds? No seriously, I had to double-check after I saw that picture. I'm just so used to scrolling down a few notches instantly every single page I open. Right now typing this, I'm already scrolled down to where my screen only shows the forum backlinks. There's always a site header, add, or bunch of links at the top and never is there anything new or interesting, so I never look. :-D
