Just wanted to say thanks for not having screen-filling-auto-play-volume-ads on the site.

I try to disable ad-block on all sites I regularly visit but sometimes the ads are just too much. I just wanted to say thank you for keeping it classy and not having ridiculous amounts of ads everywhere. It's done tastefully and with your posters in mind.

Thanks GTP, ad-block is off for your site.
 
This site is pretty good at keeping the ads out of your face.

However, I didn't think you could simply block the ads here - I thought only Premium members had the ads removed. :)
 
ad block works here, I disabled it for this site.
 
Thank you, Prototyp3, your comments and support are appreciated.

Around half of all GTPlanet's visitors block ads (the site's primary source of income) now, which represents a disturbing trend in my ability to maintain the site over the long term.

Of course, this applies to all of your other favorite sites as well - if they respect your browsing experience and display a reasonable number of ads on pages, please consider un-blocking their ads so they can continue providing their content and services to you for free. Ad blocking can be nice, but it really does have real-world consequences if not used responsibly.
 
I've turned off Adblock and re-opened the site, but I'm still not getting any advertising. Do I just have to wait a bit or do I have to disable it completely?
 
Try closing your browser and opening it again.
 
Still nothing. I just closed and turned off the background process, but Adblock still seems to be working.
 
Jordan - does unchecking the box next to this setting:
Disable Contextual Links
Disable the advertising links from being displayed in the text of threads.

earn you any revenue? Or as a Premiumite des it not matter?
 
Agree, as I use allot of motorcycle forums and tons of them are plastered with ads, it's very frustrating. It seems to be a trend with many websites now. I know sites need to pay bills and I have ads on my own site but too many just put users off and probably end up hurting the site rather than helping.
 
As long as a site isn't playing screen consuming ads that auto play volume, and I use the site regularly, I always turn ad block off.

I understand how much work goes into web sites (I took a few classes in college) and it's a full time commitment. It's also your baby -- something you've created. It's nice to get recognition (and money) from the work you've done.

I always try to speak out on all the sites I go to in the hopes that a few people who maybe haven't do so yet,will turn it off to help support the sites they love/enjoy/spend time on.
