You don't know my site. So don't comment on it.Site usability, bounce rate, and ultimately pogosticking when someone learns your site name are all ranking factors.
So if you don't mind dropping in rank, break your forum for that small group.
Or, find other monetization methods... which will come harder if you have a higher bounce rate and rank lower than your competitors.
If the reasons mentioned don't matter to you, break the forum for those using adblock.
Just food for thought here...
If you block ads on my site. You're worthless to me. We have the content you want. I am giving it away for free. It's helping people make money. Yet they block ads. That's stopping the moment I figure this out. I'm on other projects at the moment.they don't work. getting rid of css or js based codes is rather simple. in the end, the website owner has to make a choice... does he want the traffic from ad-blocking visitors or not. notices don't work. and only a small percentage of communities out there would have an audience who would pay/donate to support.
i personally understand the need for ad-blocking. privacy is a major issue. but blocking ads is pretty much the same thing as pirating software. but it is not treated as such. you are tampering with a product to steal potential revenues from the owner of the website.
This is a public forum and a general reply to everyone considering to do what you're attempting to do if they value growth.You don't know my site. So don't comment on it.
Thanks for your contribution to the thread though.
I understand my 14 year old forums very well.

I definitely wouldn't but this is now and I do.This is a public forum and a general reply to everyone considering to do what you're attempting to do if they value growth.
I'm sure if you pulled the same stunt 14 years ago, you'd have less loyal members now... just a guess though.
Don't abuse my thread go make your own to argue in.Seriously ? You are the admin of broadbandforum.co , right ? That Indian admin who got threatened by Airtel ( local ISP ). Ever since he is using his forum to threaten people who favour other ISPs. How do you get your content ? Have you bought or wrote a single article till date ?
Don't contribute to this thread please. You don't know my forums and clearly can't help me. So you're only really winding yourself up.It is ok when you get free content from members. Sell it and make money. For that content, you want to put these limits. I am sure you are not putting this on a blog where you buy articles.
