Damn, I hate seeing the ads on this site. If I enable ad-blocker on my browser, I get that error message: "We noticed that you are using an ad blocker...". Can't view anything. Tried Chrome/Firefox/Opera browsers. Any workaround to defeat these junk ads?

Looks like the ad-blocker block is back in place. :-(
The ads are so intrusive. Especially the one at the bottom that is on top of the page instead of in-between posts or to the right of the posts. I can live with the ones between comments.
The ads are excessive to an extreme degree. I understand ads are needed but this is ridiculous. Slowing down the page a lot and intrusive.
Looks like the mods switched off ad-blocker detection. Not seeing that red warning sigh.
I wonder how much traffic they lost because of having it?
One of the IP addresses they have blocked is one of the Cisco public IP addresses. This means that many people in Cisco cannot comment.
Sure it was the mods and not Cisco? :-)
Just visit this site from home. And if doing it on the work laptop, with VPN off. But, the AnyConnect DNS Umbrella protection will still know that you're visiting this site from your work laptop.

Use PiHole. I get no ads on this site.
Try mobile
No refreshes and less annoying, its decent
They must be manually cleaning the site, trolls galore, not aware of any other site that requires no logins... manual = expensive...
Our best bet is a non profit clone or privacy invaders like FB
In all fairness... it’s not a charity. Unless you are willing to pay a monthly subscription to access then it’s only fair there are ads up. Just ignore them, like most do!
If they were static and only loaded with the page, I might tolerate them more. But they reload and move periodically, making the page hard to read or scroll. Not to mention, wasting bandwidth constantly reloading ads. Don't waste my data.
I'll probably just stop visiting here. Then how much ad revenue will you get? The more obnoxious the ads the more people will try to avoid them. And if they can't then they'll avoid your site.

So annoying!
