Thanks so much for checking out this thread, and for considering helping Gaia by viewing ads we show on our site!
As we mentioned in the announcement, ads are a great source of revenue for us - the more ads people watch on Gaia, the more revenue we get. This money then allows us continue keeping Gaia up and running, and providing you all an awesome place to call home online!
Below is a Mini-FAQ with some answers to common questions you might have, steps on how you can white-list Gaia to see ads on our site, etc. We hope you find it useful! 3nodding
There are two issues I have with this, and I'm not entirely sure if I've already mentioned them to you or not.
1. Some of us use Ad-Block Plus not only to block ads, but also to block images people use in their posts and/or signatures. Since we're not able to selectively block specific images without some sort of add-on, it's one of the reasons why ABP remains enabled for many of us.
2. ABP isn't the only browser add-on that users can utilize to disable and/or block ads. There's also this little program called "
NoScript", and it works almost the same as ABP.
