I have noscript set to "allow all" for LQ.

I do not use an adblocker, because I understand that some sites I favor depend on ads, so I have decided to live with some ads. I'm very good at ignoring stuff when I wish to do so.

I think the LQ model works well. If you are browsing the net and come upon the site you get ads. Once you are an active member the ads disappear. That said I just logged out and I didn't see any ads - noscript, ad block plus and privacy badger.

If he has adds popping up then he is not signed in that is a fact.

Is he talking about ads or the ad-link url's that are all over the place when you are not logged in?

i have Ad block plus set to ALLOW on this site and i see ZERO AD's
now "no-script" is running so......
but i allow "cloudflair" ( NEEDED for the menu at the top of the forum )

All right. One more chance.

But: "advertisements of any sort have no place in the Internet experience for me." I haven't owned a television set in more than twenty-five years. (When I want to watch a program, I lease it or buy it ... commercial-free.) When someone discusses a potential project with me and utters the phrase, "ad supported," I firmly shake my head, "no."

Glad to see you back.

Welcome back to LQ. While I'm glad to see you're participating again do note that this isn't a case of one *more* time. If you use uBlock Origin (my personal recommendation at this time if you'd never like to see an ad anywhere) or AdBlock Plus with the explicit option to see some ads turned off, you won't see an ad at LQ now and you never would have.

While everyone is certainly welcome to their opinion (and I have no desire to change yours), LQ would not exist without advertisements. Neither would a lot of other high quality sites. Our aim at LQ is to only show ads to non-members, and to show ads the are non-obtrusive, topical and respect privacy.

uBlock,uBlock origin, blahblahblah ...

Welcome back. We'll continue tolerating you, even though your OP didn't foster dialogue and was devoid of any technical nfo ;-p

I didn't get the impression that Sundialsvcs left at all, but instead complained and then reconsidered.

A potential issue is that if this is a repeat complaint as Dugan points out. Then while I understand your position and decisions, how about no announcements about it and instead just make the personal decision and let that lie? Or perhaps consider a verification of your findings by way of posting a "Hey, did something change regarding ads on LQ?" thread.

I have nothing but respect for our long term members as well as new members. We all disagree from time to time. Having members with thousands of posts argue with each other is not the way I'd like new members to encounter this forum.

...available in stinking ©hrome as well.

Glad to see you back.

I don't get this. You had to log in to post, which you do several times per day, and when you're logged in you don't see ads. Why are you choosing to log out between those times?

You are correct. "I complained, then reconsidered." (One more chance.)

'Nuff said.
