[QUOTE="TimeWizardCosmo, post: 81879, member: 2"] I don't think you understand the distinction between: [LIST=1] [*]Software that invades your privacy [*]A template edit that puts a message behind where an ad would be [/LIST] If you search Google day in and day out for certain categories of things, Google is going to know you're interested in those things and use that information to try and show you ads that are relevant to you, and when you visit a site that has AdSense on it, Google is going to make sure the site you're on delivers those same relevant ads. All Num has done is make a template edit that displays a message BEHIND where the ad would be, so that it only displays if you have ad blocking software. You're well within your rights to run AdBlocker, and Num is well within his rights to implement solutions that encourage and ensure the continued existence of his site. Looks like your choice is to either help support the site a bit or deal with the sad face nag message. Do you really feel like Num shouldn't be doing all this entirely out of his own pocket? That's awfully selfish, considering how much you're on here. I think you're doing him a huge disservice by reacting this way without really knowing the facts and HOW these things work. Nobody is hacking, stealing or doing anything else with your information that you haven't already agreed to by a) using services like Google or b) signing up for a Paranormalis.com account. I've been a web developer (or at least been part of that scene) since 2003 and there's nothing going on here that you have any real cause to object to. [/QUOTE]
