L3thal Veteran Posted October 29, 2005 Veteran Share Posted October 29, 2005 I have the Firefox ad-block code in my userContent.css file, which is blocking Neowin ads. Does anyone know what line(s) I should remove so the ads could come back up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L3thal Veteran Posted October 29, 2005 Veteran Share Posted October 29, 2005 I removed those lines but they still don't appear :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensayshun Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 So before you guys comment "I got a subscriber package so I can do the hell I want" just remember, it does support Neowin but it just gives you an email and some extra forum perks.. Thats why its so cheap ($12.41 per YEAR) and to those who block ads on the internet, I understand that these days its becoming a necassary thing with sites taking advantage of the way ad's are displayed, but if you enjoy this site and block the ads you are contributing to a future problem we'll have with expansion. Thats all. 586726085[/snapback] Would you accept 10.25 USD as that's all I've got in my paypal :p jk by the way, I plan on donating as soon as I get some money.

IceDogg Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I removed those lines but they still don't appear :s 586741059[/snapback] Do you have Noscript extension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted October 29, 2005 Veteran Share Posted October 29, 2005 No, I do not. If possible, can you send me your version of userContent.css? I don't want to get rid of it completely because it does a good job on sites that abuse their power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNay Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Makes sense Neobound. I know some are against this move but its understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosidius Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Neowin has ads? I hardly notice them up there. There so unobtrusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+M2Ys4U Subscriber¹ Posted October 30, 2005 Subscriber¹ Share Posted October 30, 2005 I think the stardock ad in the middle of the strange news is going a little to far, though. That was pretty obtrusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.... Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Meh...That was unintentional and my fault. I accidently clicked something while writing up the article. It's been removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallithrax Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Installed adblock plus and noscript. See some ads but not everytime. Also, when it is stated that letting the ads show gets neowin money, but blocking doesn't, what about hiding the ads? Does this still count as viewing or not? (I know you are not viewing the ad, but you aren't blocking either) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exobot Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 HAHA I BLOCK ADS AND I GLOAT ABOUT IT TO PEOPLE WHO NEED THE INCOME GENERATED FROM THEM TO FUND THE SITE, IM COOL NOW RIGHT GUYZ? Fear my mastery of sarcasm! (first line was sarcasm, and was not true - reason I'm stating it is I'm not up for getting banned or whatever ;) ).

Hottoast Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 IMO, Neowin Staff are becoming more and more anal retentive about stupid crap. Its getting outta control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gshapiro Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 As I was reading this post my machine hung for something like 5 seconds and then another IE window opens with a couple of ads. And I am on a 10mbps connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redmak Administrators Posted October 30, 2005 Administrators Share Posted October 30, 2005 Wow what a topic. All we ask (like we did many times before) is that you don't create 'HOW TO BLOCK THOSE ANNOYING NEOWIN ADS' posts Thanks for helping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chronopoulos Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I didn't notice the ads at all until last month or so. They fit with the theme and aren't annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prz Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I don't mind the ads on Neowin at all, they're not even intrusive. With that said, that animated vonage ad on the frontpage sure does slow down my page scrolling in Safari :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pox Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 woot! great job, staff. the ads are a needed part of any free site and fit in perfectly. BURN THE ADBLOCKERS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hottoast Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I dont see what the big deal is. I dont click on the ads anyway, so why does it matter if I block them or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanekiwi Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 neowin also gets money if the ads get loaded i.e. downloaded. clicking means extra $. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Computer Guru Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I totally agree with Neobond's decision but I sort of laughed when i saw this. I know Neobond doesn't have a choice over Google's ads but i smiled none the less. 586729680[/snapback] not true. as a webmaster, you can tell adsense to not put ads from certain domains or on certain subjects. i have done it. :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanekiwi Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 i use adblock aswell.... to block annoying animated avatars :laugh: signatures are disabled by default. makes me and my dialup happy and i still get some eyecandy in form of themes.

Borbus Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Hehe, it seems Neobond has somehow made the "Add Reply" button get blocked by adblock. Anybody else noticed this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
