Ad Blockers

[Shawn Gossman]

For those of you who run ads on your forum, how do you feel about ad blockers?

Ad blockers are programs that will block out most ad networks such as Google AdSense.

Some forum owners display a message asking to turn them off while others may be more aggressive and prohibit use until they're turned off.

What is your stance? Do you use them yourself?

I use an ad blocker, but I turn it off for websites that I like to support. However, some websites and forums are overloaded with ads, making it hard to navigate without an ad blocker.

I've never actually used one.

I do buy premium upgrades if ads are taken down as part of it.
