Ad Redirects · 3:23pm Dec 20th, 2014
Is anyone else running into pages on FiMfiction that just redirect to ads? I'm not talking about hovering over one of the ads and it 'loads' a redirect or popup ad. I'm talking about being on the main page and suddenly getting redirected without notice to some other site. It's happened several times now and it's getting more and more irritating. Like just now, I was cgecking out It's Impossible! and was suddenly redirected to this: http://x.vindicosuite.com/?l=208762&t=h&trid=373046&vir=0&rdar=1&rdaeId=1005&rdaveid=1006&rdanveid=1007&rdat=3.676
...and there's nothing even there. Like...what the hell?
Just download Ad Block extension for your browser.
I have it, 2666986. I just disable it for the site because I know the ads help make money.
2667022 Yeah, but Knighty will still get that money if you disable them.

What? Maybe I'm out of the know, but I thought applying ad blocker prevents the money stuff from happening?
2667043 I mean, people and websites pay Knighty for a spot in the Ad section. The more views FimFiction (as a whole) gets, the more people will see the Ads, and probably buy or visit something. So unless you check the ads, you're not helping/prejudicing the site at all.
