bben46 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Yes, porn ads are considered inappropriate as the ads will be seen by our under 18 members. Please report them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS13 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) In my experience, ads with sound are a pretty big problem here. I whitelisted nexusmods for a while, but kept getting auto-sounded. If you can remove those ads, I would be glad to whitelist nexusmods again. Edited March 25, 2016 by RS13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWM Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Hey folks, sorry, I'm a bit late for this, but still wanted to participate... I've whitelisted nexusmods for almost a year now, I think... The main problem with the ads - for me - is they extremely slow down the site, and even with the Report this ad button it's fairly hard to tell which of the ads slows it down so much. I assume it's the sum of just 4 ads, which is fairly not much - but if all ads some Flash or Java, or all the other scripts in background, to display moving pictures (even if they are not epilepsy-triggering) is simply too much. It has become better already, it was worse some time ago. At the moment, alone the ads consume probably three or more times the traffic the page normaly would (except for the downloads). So whenever you click on a link you feel like you browser has to download 10MB of website data, to display one new page. That's the problem with the ads (as South Park portrayed it last year: Today's Ads have a life of their own...). Let me just note that my rig isn't exactly state-of-the-art, but still runs Fallout 4 on Medium settings quite well so let's assume the computer isn't too weak ;) @the admins: If you haven't done it before (but you probably have) try to open nexusmods one time with adblocker (in my case adblock plus in Chrome) disabled, browse a few sites, and then compare it to when you enable your adblocker. It suddenly feels like the whole page loads immediatly. So in my opinion this overall slowdown also should be adressed, but I've seen other users mentioned it as well so let's hope this works out! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAOWAce Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) I started using an adblocker (along with noscript) about 7 years ago after I was infected by a malicious ad on a site I trusted. It resulted in me getting an important account compromised, twice, which included a leak of all my real personal information (instead of just my online alias' information; a practice I started using due to site hacking becoming prevalent). I was forced to reinstall Windows and start a completely fresh browser install (instead of continue with my old history I keep as I'm an archivist). I go out of my way to block ads, because I will never risk something like that happening ever again. Since then, I've never been infected by anything; and I don't use an anti-virus. That said, I'm a supporter of the site, so this is moot here, but I just wanted to speak out on why I personally use an adblocker, and will for the foreseeable future.

beary64 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Ok, in addition to the Fallout 4 site having on-refresh redirects, Oblivion has them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob100 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) Okay I just did I keep ads off for this site. I do love this site so I guess I'll leave the ad block off. Edited April 18, 2016 by Bob100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zetrax999 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I don't think it's fair for people to use Adblock. If a site makes money from people viewing add but everyone blocks them, then how can the site afford to continue functioning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosegg Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Still getting the occasional auto-play video-with-sound ad. Also this is the only website that [has recently begun to] consistently crashes my browser (Chrome). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
