Y'know, NG, maybe you should put up ads that aren't as fucking annoying. Then maybe people won't block them. That'd at least be more productive than putting up fake ads that insult people for using adblock and then beg them to buy stuff out of your store. Not only is that just plain stupid, but you only make me want to KEEP blocking your ads just to spite you now. It's a vicious cycle.

Just goes to show that the NG staff really don't have what's best for NG at heart. S'all about the money.

Also, delicious pancakes.

Yes, because bandwith costs nothing at all! Neither does terabytes of storage for portal submissions!

There is already a thread on this, post there, furthermore they're far from annoying, have you seen what places like imageshack bombard you with? That is annoying, these are not. Get over it, we all make sacrifices, if you hate them so much make this yours, put up with some annoying adverts and support the site.

They wouldn't need terabytes of storage if their blam system actually worked instead of letting all those shit flashes right on in.

It's sort of like a joke, putting up the adblock ads. By the way, ads are what make NG what it is! You think it's free to have a site with a bandwidth this huge? Thousands of flash/audio and soon to be art submissions?

They aren't that bad, you spoiled ad blocker you.

I code in AS2, in case I forgot to mention it.

It's not the admins that let shit flashes in. It's the users. The blam system works find, provided that people actually vote based on what the submission deserves instead of just voting 5 on everything so they can get their protect point.

Bullshit. Newgrounds will chose some of the worst ads possible. You don't see freerice ads anymore, why not? because freerice.com does not pay as much as the others.

It's bureaucratic bullshit.

I'd buy a ton of shirts from you guys if they were more than just a single emblem on a cotton shirt. You guys are all professionally artistic, so screen print some shirts that are also professional!

But it's not just a nut, it's a Tall-nut, you can't get past it no matter what, or unless you are flying. But it's stronger than a wal-nut. He does not look very pleased either ;.; Don't anger him I dun wana get beaten on, he has anger isshues and tends to say things to the melon-pults and I end up knocked out after that, not sure why but I smell of watermellon when I wake up.

I don't know what I keep doing but the ads turned into errors so all I see are white blocks, I didn't mean for it to happen, it leasts until I clear cookies.

I don't mind NG's normal ads, I hate the ones with sound, expands, or are strong enough to fuck up compy function.

I think their adblocker fuck things are clever to the point where I might block ads just to read them.

For my next trick, I will need a condom and a volunteer.

I've clicked that ad out of curiosity. AND let me tell you...it was well worth the click. One of the most hilarious sites ive ever been to!

i bought a t shirt ages ago, ads telling me to buy one will not make me buy one and as such have been added to the block list, ads should be seamless with a page, so in the same colours so they dont stand out and look horrible, that is why i block them. but that goes against what adverts are meant to do so i will just stick with adblock

Not only have I blocked NG's ads, but I have also blocked NG's adblocker ads.
