New ad bar

[Shemeska]

I never turned the ads off.

OTOH, there are a lot of ways in which this site is run that really bother me. With those in mind, I find the idea of sending more money to Morrus to be repellent, despite the excellent forums and d20 resources here.

Seriously? If you harbor that much resentment toward Morrus and this site, why do you continue to post here?

totally agree

what we need is a "pay to ban" users

No need to get hostile. The man just expressed his opinion.

I don't suppose someone could help me out? I don't mind letting EN World ads run (and they show up usually, since most of the time I browse away from home), but at home I have NoScript. Is there a way for me to allow scripted ads for this site (and others I frequent), but not elsewhere?

I like that I lessen the risk of stumbling into a nasty site, but I don't want to deny Russ a bit of aid in his income.

Same here - although I liked the ads more when they had less Evony and more gaming stuff (although a few gaming ads have cropped up again).

@Elephant - you really need to leave ENWorld. Forever. And don't forget to move your bookmarks too.

Posting hostility is a no-no. Here anyway. And he can certainly post his opinions, and I can feel free to feel however I feel about it.

EDIT: And for the record, I wouldn't take issue if he couldn't support the site, didn't think it was valuable enough to support, or just plain didn't feel like it. I do have an issue with someone taking the time to say both that they value the information on it, and that they find the idea of paying for that information "repellent." It's a big difference, IMO, that goes well into the personal.

Unlike Adblock, I don't think NoScript works that way. You're blocking the sites serving the scripts, not the site which calls the site serving the script. If you unblock googlesyndication.com here, you unblock it everywhere.

Hmm, the allow all this page wouldn't work?

No offence, man, but that's one of the reasons this site is in danger of closing. You're not a community supporter, and you turn off the ads. So you're a net disadvantage to EN World. I'm paying for the privilege of having you here.

You seem to have lost all perspective here, Morrus. Is that your way of welcoming visitors?!

If you don't want a lively community, but only paying customers, then make your site a pay site and be done with it. Of course, with 157 members, that will be the death of ENWorld as a focus spot for D&D discussion. (It will not be the death of the discussion though: it will simply move to a more welcoming environment).

Describing your non-paying visitors as "net disadvantages" is incredibly short-sighted. If it weren't for your visitors, you would not have any product to sell: in fact, you would have nothing.

I sincerely hope you can find an advisor on public relations before you decide to scare away your main attraction: the people who regularly visit your site.

Best regards,

I think his point is: he gets ad revenue when ads display on your computer. By turning off ads, you are denying him even this small stream of income. By encouraging others to do the same, you are actively hurting his revenue. Does it really inconvenience you that much to let the ads show up on your screen, or at least change your sig?

Personal insults towards those who disagree with you are entirely inappropriate on this website.

As is encouraging others to block the ads. Please change your signature.
