Pony up a little dough for the site and the ads will go bye bye.

Eh, I plopped down a little dough and got some Pats stuff, along with ad-free browsing.

I thought you avoided coming here because the Pats are winning now.

This genius move was followed by trading out of a spot where they could have gotten the last decent receiver in Robert Ferguson and settled for tackle Matt Light, who will not help any time soon.”

If that is my only choice....I will go bye bye.

I plan to become a paying member as soon as I am no longer a poor college student. Until then, Safari AdBlock works just fine

You will become a paying member of Patsfans.com. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile

Other posters are right on. Adblock plus, noscript, and ghostery is the way to go. I haven't seen an ad on the web in years.

Well, use Firefox as at least 2 posters have mentioned!

Even if you don't use firefox normally, use it for this site!

And I'm sure somebody can share the FF link or whatever. Just don't use IE and you'll be fine, it seems.

That completely cuts off the ad revenue to this site and other sites I visit. Thus a poor choice.

I don't understand why that is a better solution than limiting this site to reasonable ads and then having the site collect the ad revenue from the reasonable ads as a way of supporting the site.

I don't mind seeing the ads. Just don't shout them at me.

You can selectively exclude sites from adblocker. I know this for sure for Chrome (some sites I use are smart enough to sense adblocking software and refuse to work if detected) and assume its the same for firefox. You have a perfectly workable solution, you just need to figure out how to do it.

For what its worth, I develop and support open source software and act as a forum moderator elsewhere all for which I get 0 compensation. I am painfully aware that the internet doesn't run on hugs. Rather than threaten to leave, consider spending a few pennies to get yourself a nice pats related gift by becoming a paying member. The hardware costs and the time DONATED by the mods here are significant. Reconsider giving back just a tad for all that is provided to you FREE.

I have no relationship with the folks who run this site other than being a satisfied user and supporter.
