Nice facebook meme, are you 60?

How can you use internet on any device without an adblocker? Doesn't your tiny brain get distracted or tired from being constantly bombarded by flashing ads everywhere?

Nope, as I said. I usually don't get much ads on my phone. RPGCodex is one of few exceptions. And I don't have Facebook, by the way.

Hi. When entering rpgcodex on mobile, I am getting lots of NSFW advertisements. Let's just say that the women show a lot more than their ankles.


Abu! I've seen these ads too my friend! Women without holy garb, you can even see their EYES!!!

Newsflash to edgy newfags: ads pay the server bills so that you can shitpost here and whine about how you can't use HTTPS yet. Read the sticky so that you can at least appear a bit more adjusted.

How about you get a day job to pay for your server like the rest of us? You're not gonna go very far without HTTPS anyway. Didn't you know that ad networks and search engines reduce rankings of websites that are served unencrypted?

Blocking ads in 2017 is not just a matter of convenience, it's the single most important thing you can do for internet security and for your sanity. It's an enormous attack vector that continues to be exploited in novel and unexpected ways.

Hi. When entering rpgcodex on mobile, I am getting lots of NSFW advertisements. Let's just say that the women show a lot more than their ankles. It isn't just an advertisement that is small, it covers the entire screen and I have to go back a step to actually be able to enter the site. I had a break at work and thought about reading the codex for a bit. This happened and I nearly panicked. But as a true codexer, I fapped.

An adblocker is something you turn off when browsing ye olde 'dex.

A small contribution to the Codex beer and server fund vastly improves the experience. Considering what a depressing portion of my life I spend here the least I can do is throw in a few coins.
I mean the ads on 'dex aren't even intrusive. They just sit at the top of the page above all of the posts you are going to view. I just see ads for my local ford shop and the mother finds shocking home made secret that you will not want to miss! stuff. Also the shoot the emoticons covering this girls breasts ad.

Today I was trying to load the Codex on mobile in Chrome, but after the page loaded an ad redirected it. I quickly closed the tab and didn't see if the ad was NSFW or not. I tried loading the forum a few more times but got the same result on different pages/subforums in both regular browsing and incognito.

Somebody 60 can probably afford fast enough internet that a few ads won't fuck with their performance.

I even blocked the bank cards icon, the donate button, and shit like that with uBlock because those used to make me really feel guilty.

No worries, the mental guilt trip will stay with you and claw at your subconsciousness until you donate or die, whichever comes first.

What the fuck is NSFW?

The codex is one of the few places that i don't use adblock and similar programs. If i last a year without getting banned i may even donate a few bucks.

I turned off adblock but ads still don't show. I don't have any other addons.
