LordMaron Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Each time I see the pleading to turn on ads when I poke around after a new moddable RPG comes out, I do feel really guilty for not supporting this site that I have in the past used quite extensively. I turn off adblocker for this each time, then promptly re-enable it after the first time my browser locks up. Seriously, consider ceasing the use of services which use intensive flash ads. That H&R block one in particular which actually has 3D elements in it, who's idea at the agency was that? It's fine for one page, but open up 10 or more tabs while looking through mods you might want? Ads that impact performance, security and usability are why adblocker was made in the first place. Now, I know there's a donation to get rid of ads entirely, and to be honest, I'll probably end up contributing to that if I get into modding Fallout 4 enough to spend real time here again. It really doesn't change the fact that the particular advertising service Nexus is working with is exactly the problem with ads these days. I don't know how much this one's paying you compared to less intrusive alternatives, but please consider switching services to one that might have more people, like myself, actually disabling adblocker after seeing one too many sad faces and keeping it off.

micalov Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Please screenshot any troublesome adds if possible as ads are localized and dealt with by a third party and so differ from region to region. With that info the site admin maybe able to look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bguitard Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 whenever I browse a couple nexus pages over the past couple weeks the ads are crashing my browser repetitively. If it were any other site, I prolly wouldn't come back but I love the nexus! I guess is a small price to pay and I feel too guilty turning off the ads as I have kids and cannot afford to donate to the worthy cause. just thought this might matter. thanks for everything nexus!!!

MarineCorps Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Several times today I ended up getting forwarded to a malware site from the nexus. I become a supporter since it was a cheap alternative to ad blocking this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted2108982User Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) Unfortunately I myself have just today been forced to start using Ad Block on your website. I keep constantly getting redirects to http://www.terraclicks.com from your site. And once you have that cookie you start running into the same problem on other sites that use a lot of embedded ads (getting the cookie from here will start setting off the same re-direct from adds on sites like Deviant Art). This happened about two weeks ago but cleared up after a few days. Just today it began again. And yes my systems are clean and protected. I really do enjoy your site and usually don't mind the adds, I hope you can find some way around this issue. The site I listed above is a known source for malware, in particular they like to pull the whole "Our system has detected that your computer is infected with a virus!! Click here to clean system!!!" scam. -Val -Edited for midnight spelling errors.... Edited February 5, 2016 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micalov Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Your the second person who has mentioned this redirect, just to check you were not the person in chat last night mentioning it right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted2108982User Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 No I was not. Hopefully you can track down anyone else, because I just checked and I do not have any screen captures for you, just the address I blocked and from the cookie I deleted. -Val Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaJim Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I've been getting the terraclicks.com redirects too (note: I'm not the one from chat). I also had a redirect get blocked by Chrome just before I came here to report this, but I didn't catch the name. So either Google is blocking terraclicks now or there's two scam site redirects hiding in the ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghouls0rules Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) I've been getting a few redirects from the site for the past couple of days, I'll see if I can catch the addresses. EDIT: I'm also being redirected to TerraClicks, on a couple of the occasions it did happen the pages loaded an ad for some kind of MMO called Angel something or other, not sure if that's the cause but just telling you what I spotted.
