    Hey you guys, who here hates ads on the internet? They constantly are spammed on websites like Wikia and if you search for game stuff a lot, eventually it decides to throw MMORPG ads at you, and they're always the same: a picture of a female character in a sexy outfit/pose. And I tried installing AdBlock Plus to block the sexy game ads on Newgrounds but it doesn't work! Either something is wrong with AdBlock Plus, these ads are an exception, or Newgrounds somehow got around the blocker! I know websites need funding somehow (and I have little to no problem with YouTube ads), but here is an honest question: Who here hates constantly spammed ads?

    I especially hate it when people advertise their blogs and YouTube channels.

    There's a button to report when an ad isn't being blocked. It happens sometimes on obscure sites that don't have rules applied to them yet. Unless you're using the crappy Chrome version. I don't think that one has the button.

    I actually don't use Chrome. I use Firefox for everything, Internet Explorer to see which sites are not malicious since Norton isn't working with Firefox right now, and never Chrome.
