Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Maybe I'll give it a shot. Some great entries submitted already, I'm a bit hesitant to submit my own piece of crap.

Buy from the store or ELSE

Hmm... the whole purpose of ad-block is to block... ads.

I will then figure out a way to block the blocked ad-block ads.

It is a bit distorted but it works :P

I go to the theater late so I don't have to watch the ads and can just watch the movie. I use callerID to screen strange numbers so I don't have to deal with telemarketers. And, yes, I run adblock for all the websites I visit. Are you not guilty of any one of these things?

I fail to see how these things are relevant. However, there's a difference. In the first scenario, the ad is still displaying. In the second, people at other times have seen the ads, and you're visiting at a time without them. Great. Passive, not aggressive. Caller ID? Good for you, nobody likes spam.

The whole reason someone runs adblocker is because they aren't interested in the ads. So by finding ways to get around adblocker, you're targeting an audience who doesn't want your business in the first place. Does that make sense?

I'm sure that he understand that, but you don't necessarily need to be interested in the ads for him to earn money. You just need to view one. Also, the new ads involve a new kind of thing - not dumb RPG or hentai site, but the Newgrounds store. Does that make sense?

I mean, you make a living off two things. Random flash artists submitting expense free content that generates interest for the site, and jamming products into peoples faces. BUT HEY - everybody plugs ads into everything anymore, and it sure beats working two jobs. But I think that whether people want to view those ads is their choice... and why shouldn't it be? Viewing the site is free. If they're not interested, they're not obligated.

He doesn't earn money off people submitting stuff to the site, he loses money. Also, no products are jammed into non-adblock-users' faces. Sure, it's your choice whether or not you want to view the site. It's also true that viewing the site is free - for you. For Tom, prices are huge, and he needs to find a way to pay for those. He uses ads.

So, if you want to block ads, congratulations, but remember this: if enough people block ads, Newgrounds may not be around much longer.

As it's been said several times, the point of this isn't a get rich scheme for Newgrounds, it's so the layout for the site doesn't break because you're using an ad blocker.

I don't see what the big deal is if you're on Newgrounds and there's an ad to go to the Newgrounds store, at least you're supporting the site and not Dragon Dong Dick Quest Adventures.

I mean there's no pop ups on NG anymore, are banner ads really that bad? Are you incapable of scrolling past them, or is the stress just too much to take?

By all means use an ad blocker if you want but quit acting like you're Rosa Parks being brave and defiant by rebelling against site ads.

Ok, I was just about to draw something for this ad block thing, but guess what ... my pen tablet has been stolen >:(

I edited mine a little. Don't know what's the best yet though :)

Sorry I can't post a preview, but it's an swf and I don't have any screenshot software.

that was ok, but you missed the point. It had to be a still image.

No, other people had .flas.

Hope you can read it. Tom took longer to draw than he should.

I think there's too many orange beams going on in a lot of the backgrounds. How about some originality?
