Thraksor Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Don't host ads to scam sites like this one anymore: http://virus-alert-j5v0p7.online/ Crap that hijacks our browsers isn't cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorKaizeld Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 they dont want those ads. the ads are placed by a third party company. report them to the staff with an image of the ad. ad companies are a pain in the rear to work for and constantly cause issues for Robbin. if you want to get rid of them you can pay a one time two dollar supporter fee and be rid of ads for life on this site.

Ethreon Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 It amazes me how people don't understand that ads are served by 3rd party providers and not by the website owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thraksor Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 It amazes me how people don't understand that ads are served by 3rd party providers and not by the website owners.I do understand that. I usually run Chrome with both AdBlock and AdBlockPlus as well as NoScript and I then whitelist very sparingly, so I'm not really used to seeing these kinds of ads anywhere else. I whitelisted Nexus an hour ago and within that hour, I got that ad 4 times as a malware tab that replaced my Nexus tab I was using and then couldn't be closed or backed out of. It even eventually opens it's own browser window full of additional scammery. I had to kill the whole Chrome.exe process tree do anything with Chrome again. I'll just re-enable my blockers instead of whitelisting the site again. No harm done. This is why I use them by default anyway. I still love the Nexus and respect that they have to pay the bills somehow. Just a bummer that supporting the site through ads isn't really a valid option if stuff like this is getting snuck through their advertising network and my post is just to let them know why that is.

Ethreon Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Then you have to take screenshots and report them with as much detail as possible. It's been detailed that most of the times only you see those specific ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey!! I'm not getting any ads. What's the deal with that? Oh, yeah. That's right. I'm a supporter and put my money up front to support this wonderful site. That means that your here on my dime.

Do enjoy your stay!! The Rabbit Right. Thanks, Uncle Pennybags. I'm sure your $2 is going to cover the entire site's overhead for years to come. I mean, the site doesn't even need anything else to operate... Just you and the 20 other people who've paid $2. Get real please. Sites need ads to operate. Even if every visitor pays $2 one time for an ad-free experience, how long will that float the bills? A month or two? Six months maybe? And after that, if we were all using the site into perpetuity ad-free, what exactly do you think would pay for the continued expenses of the site? Magic? Robbin's determination and charm? (Hint: it's the free users who put up with the ads that pay for nearly every website's operating costs.) The $2 supporter thing only works if a small percentage of users choose to do it and the vast majority of visitors to the site continue to produce ad impressions on a daily basis. If we all chose to go ad-free the site would likely go bankrupt in short order without any actual income. Of course that would never happen because most people aren't going to pay something, even as insignificant as $2, to mod their games. If the ads continue to be as bad as the ones I ran into, you can bet your smug ass that countless other users won't be whitelisting the site either. I tried turning off my adblockers to support the site because I do want to and am aware that "free" isn't sustainable. I simply reported here in detail my justification for why I won't be doing that any longer. Feel free to tell me why I'm wrong, but if you think a one-off $2 donation makes you special or gives you any reason to talk down to other people, you've clearly managed to get your tiny head lodged in your ass.

repusDude Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Just like other people stated. Either do: - report that ad... And hope that staff will notice it and deal with it. Or - make a donation to be a supporter or premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
