Hey. you want to stop us from using adblockers on the site? then how about you remove the malware ridden ads from your site. If you cant, then Im keeping mine on. Deal with it.

It's pathetic. People who can pay get the benefit but people who put actual content into the site don't? what a joke.

VoidPriest wrote: That is indeed a crazy thought mega, to have to pay to not have malware infested ads. There is a reason ad blocker exists to begin with it. Zgrillo has the right of it, Sorry.

Technically you can sandbox the web browser that way malwares are contained and would not harm your computer.

Bad ads are not the mistake of site owners, they are the mistake of ad networks, in nexus you can report bad ads you see in the forum and the site owners ask the ad network to remove them.
So they are not willingly using malicious ads, but there is not much they can do about it other than what they do, today malicious ads are very hard to detect from their end, because those ads are very ofuscated and hard to detect, and nexus is not google or some big company to have their own ad network and a very powerful algorithm to detect malicious ads.

Nice try. Not going to 'support' that attitude.

Some of you guys act like this is such an unreasonable request, you get better returns if the ads aren't a bloated mess, more people will keep the blocker off out of courtesy, saying "Just become a premium member" just equates to "well then I guess I'm just going to keep my adblocker on" and shows an unwillingness to appeal to the people you're trying to get $$$ from. 2mb/s in exchange for bloated aggressive malware ridden ads isn't really a good deal.

I got a virus once from here too, adblocker stays on indefinitely since then.

Nexus's hands are tied when trying not to bite the hand that feeds them. Nobody wants to put honest ads on this mod website because Nexus hosts adult files. The ad revenue Nexus DOES receive is from crooked companies trying to make their own dime off of their maliciously coded ads. Losing operating system integrity/functionality due to infectious mods or accidental ad clicks used to be a common occurrence even for users of this site. Not so much anymore since the integration of virus checks, but the point still stands as the quality of ads has barely improved. Edited November 7, 2018 by Superbros15

Hi, is the 2 MB speed boost for supporters still not active in Vortex? Thanks

 

E: Nevermind, it just took a few hours to update speed from 1MB cap to 2 8)

What if I have lifetime premium, but I still keep adblock active just in case I have to sign in?

With Premium you will see no ads unless you log out. You can have it on if you want, it just won't do anything.

There'd be a short cooldown but yes, you should see the benefits soon after turning it off :)

Well, I was more asking about the download speed stuff, but thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Interestingly, even when signed in, the AdBlock button still claims to be blocking 1 thing, but I've never been able to figure out what that blocked element is. The page seems identical if I pause AdBlock and refresh.
