I sort of forgot there are advertisements - installing AdBlock+ does that to you.
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

Yep. I'd always play those little "shoot the target and win a million bucks" games. Then I'd laugh when it'd say "Firefox has blocked 1 pop-up(s)."

It's a wonder that I'm still sane.

Seeing as I already am with Virgin Broadband, don't particularly want my debts consolidated into one easy to manage account and couldn't care less about Marapets and the ultimate virtual pet experience, no, I don't click on the adverts.

Though I agree with Inkpuddle. If it's true, I've won fifteen iPhones or something.

AdBlock Plus works wonders. Plus I've already donated $15 to PC. I don't need to click on something flashy that could potentially lead me to a site that infects my computer. You never know where those ads could take you...

I don't tend to click on any of the ads here at PokeCommunity or most websites. The fact that I've gotten used to the ads being there also helps because I didn't even notice they were there until you brought it to my attention.

No, I hate advertisements on websites. They annoy me. I tend to ignore them.

Since I hate advertisements, I'd much rather block them and donate to PC from time to time. I have NoScript, AdBlock+ and BetterPrivacy. I can't even be tracked, since I use filters for Adblock+ which blocks scripts and sites that manage advertising cookies.

I've never clicked an ad on purpose. I don't want to know what's in some of those ads, virus-wise. >__>; I've had them blocked for quite some time.

For sites I spend a lot of time on like PC I sometimes feel guilty but considering I'm not going to click them anyway, and considering that PC probably doesn't get paid for people simply viewing ads, I just shrug it off.

I'll make a proper signature when Pokecommunity gets a proper slogan

I block all ads because I don't want to take any chances with my computer from possible viruses and I also don't want to get my eyes raped by some seizure inducing abomination or listen to some idiot yelling "YOU WON A FREE NINTENDO WII!!" at full volume when I load a webpage infected with it. Heck, about half of them are obvious scams anyway.

I don't block them, since I have no reason to. They don't annoy me or anything. But I never click on them due to my computer's lack of an anti-virus program. You can never be too careful~ I didn't even click on the advert offering me a job with IBM, which I honestly would love. Although I don't think I'm old enough to get a job yet. xD
if you've done nothing wrong, you've got nothing to fear

if you've something to hide, you shouldn't even be here
