MrMason Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 How exactly would you implement increasing download speeds for people who disable adblock? We already have this sorted for premium users/ non premium users, so we're just adding in another tier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nophatus Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I have Adblock, and I will admit that I even used it for this page while ignoring the site when it told me that I should turn them back on. However, after reading this and taking a good luck at my own respect for the work put into this site, I decided to disable it. Thank you Nexus for everything you do, every game you host, every dream you make come true and every issue you solved for me. I am truly grateful and I support you completely. If you have AdBlock and don't care about the preservation of this site, you should be ashamed. The modders and staff work so hard to give you this great service completely free of charge, and yet you decide to destroy their only source of income simply due to a minor annoyance that barely affects you in any way.

EnaiSiaion Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Ex-Premium member here. You are using a third party ad provider, so ads are not verified by humans and at some point a malicious ad will get served. That's how these things go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magickingdom Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I have limited bandwidth during the day. So, adds that are movies that download with out my knowing hurt. Any add that is very big hurts. Try paying 10 dollars per gig of bandwidth and you will see why advertising is unwelcome. Welcome to satellite internet. It is the only thing available to many urban residents in U.S.A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djjohnsongeek Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 For whatever reason my browsing speed chugs on nexus without any ad block.But your post makes a lot of sense. I'll disable it for this cite, thank you for the honest discussion. It is worth a little bit of lost time to support the nexus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampfox92 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) I'm sorry, but the auto playing video ads are really quite ridiculous. I have a powerful computer. I cant open up more than a few tabs or my browser starts locking up because every goddamn page is playing a video. You NEED to do something about this or that percentage of ad-blocker users is only going to increase. I remember having my ad-blocker on when initially using this site and seeing the message telling me I should support the site and leave it off. I thought, hell, this is a great place, of course I'll turn it off. Let's just say it did not stay off for long. On the other hand, I do admit, It is quite cheap and something I'll probably pay for to remove ads or get membership to support your site. I REALLY love the nexus, but I can't speak for others who are only here to DL their mods and leave. EDIT; My goodness man... I can't check out to pay for supporter. I've paid for a million things online yet my card doesn't work here. EDIT2: It doesn't even take multiple tabs to start locking up the browser. One page opened up to the main F4 page and the scroll wheel doesn't want to respond anymore. You have more issues then just audio ads Dark0ne. Please look into this. I don't want to see this site leave us. Edited March 15, 2016 by Swampfox92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
