Some sites have like 8 annoying ads flying all over the place in a single webpage. In those cases, uses of adblock is reasonable. BUT using adblock for TWO FUCKING ADS that DON'T EVEN SPAM THE WEBPAGE? WHAT THE FUCK?

It's not the admins that let shit flashes in. It's the users. The blam system works fine 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.
Fixed.
Yeah, that pretty much is the truth.
Bottom line: Statwhores are fucking the portal; not the blam system.

Does this mean you aren't gonna buy anything?!?!?!!?!?!
I probably would. If I get $100 on my birthday, I'd blow half of it on NG stuff.
Oh, and adblock is retarded. For most sites, it's handy but ads on NG aren't annoying at all. GOD DAMN IT'S LOCATED AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE PAGE! DEAL WITH IT! YOU WATCH THOSE SHITTY COMMERCIALS ON YOUR DAMN TV FOR LIKE 5-10 FUCKING MINUTES! HOW PAINFUL IS IT TO SEE 2-3 ADS LOADED AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN?
Tom, you really should have left the broken widescreen layout for adblock users ACTUALLY BROKEN. That way, if they want the layout to looks pleasing, they would have to DISABLE adblock and that yields you guys more revenue.

Annoying? Jesus it's just a fucking ad.
Yeah, seriously, I agree.
Don't blame NG for their ads just because you feel like a fool when you get a message come up telling you basically that you're a cunt.
No pop ups so stop blocking the ads.
Pop ups shit up the computer's memory but ADS? I'm using a crappy computer that has 512 MB of RAM and a very weak processor and NG is fast. I don't see any connection between this bullshit.
If people like you have 'powerful' computers that can handle large games but are bitching about some puny ads slowing down your computer, then 4 words to you: SHUT THE FUCK UP.
I use a computer to do WORK, not play shitty games like most of you gaming nerds are. If a few ads are shitting up your computer that can handle large games with excellent graphics, you people got some serious major issues.

Well if you block NG's ad's out, your not going to see the ads which give them money.
So you either keep the ads there or buy something from the store unless you want NG to disappear because hosting a website isn't free. If you want NG to disappear then go to another website.
Seriously, this man is right.
Running a site like Newgrounds.com is VERY expensive. Tom and Wade need like $20,000 PER MONTH to keep the site running. If you adblock users keep adblock on, NG will disappear thanks to most of you (unless you actually buy something from the NG store).

You all speak of the ads being the saving grace to NG's funds, but in all honesty I couldn't give two shits about what happens to Newgrounds. It's more of a festering pile of cancerous shit than /b/. Yeah. I said it. Rules 1 and 2 don't even matter anymore since the Habbo Raids and Project Chanology.
If you don't care about NG, why the fuck are you here? Get the fuck out you jackass. Selfish morons like you disgust me.
It is possible to be rid of site abuse and unnecessary shit off of Newgrounds, but people like you make it much harder or even impossible to do so since you will be spitting more shit and increasing the shit rate on NG than the cleanup rate.
I'm already helping the site by termininating abusive reviews and helping the review mods so I do not need to hear any bullshit like 'You're not helping the site either'. In fact, most of the people that got a review ban or review deletion can blame me because of it since I'm constantly flagging 10-30 reviews a day. YES 30 reviews PER FUCKING DAY. Yesterday I flagged about 100 so shut up.
It still is sickening to see idiots still leaving abusive reviews
We don't want you here if all you're going to do is make the site a lot worse. Doesn't matter if you have contributed something; if you don't care if the site dies, get out and go elsewhere.
I know a lot of people that have submitted nothing that try their very best to make NG better. Even if they make little to no progress, if they are trying to make NG the best site it could possibly be by getting rid of / reporting shit that can ruin NG's reputation, I'm sure the NG administrators will want them to stay here. Mainly those people target for abusive reviews / spam flashes but they at least get some clean up done. Even if they have adblock enabled, they are still freeing up server space despite the fact that the admins won't get much revenue. At least even if their efforts fail, they still want NG to live.
