One ad in particular would play audio easily twice as loud as any other program on my pc with no option to mute (didn't even look like a fun game). It was to the point I couldn't leave mod pages open in 2nd tab without straining my speakers and patience. All of the other ads are mutable and unobtrusive which I don't mind.That said, I'm glad to see your stance on the matter. I found the post to be very enlightening and well explained,also the transparency is appreciated. The site is awesome! Keep up the good work!

krepperk Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Seriously people, get a grip. Two (2) (Deux), (Zwei) dollars is pretty freaking cheap to get rid of ads. Even if you're 15 and living with your mom. This is an awesome site, run by good people, just get the supporter membership already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelootti Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Nice to see Nexus taking ad security seriously. My reason for using ad-block has always been security concerns more than anything else. More websites should pay attention to the ads they serve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
