Ad Blockers
Any discussion of AD BLOCKING software/plugins or instruction for using ad blocking regarding this forum or any other discussion in general of attempting to block advertisement will result in an immediate termination of your account. This is not done lightly, rather deliberately to deny access to those who choose to utilize this forum, but not support our sponsors. A forum of this size costs a lot of money to cover hardware, bandwidth and employees so we ask for such discussions not to take place here.
