The Emperor Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Ugh, :::::Shuddder:::::: and maybe That fucking chcc or whatever the fuck it is add down there above the status updates, anyone seen it? The cute one where the little boy goes to the pharmacy and, you know, he got some pills, OR SO YOU THINK. But what he REALLY got was suicide in a jar. He pulls a gun out of the bag when he gets home. Cue disturbing statistics. DON'T PUSH PLAY! I made the mistake, I shouldn't have done it, you don't have to make the same mistake I did. NEVER PUSH PLAY!!!!!! I know I gave a detailed enough description of the damn thing, but yeah, I wish those weren't there. MY suggestion was to everyone to just NOT PUSH PLAY. Thank you.

withing Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 If you have Firefox you can download adblock - then you won't see any ads... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beetle Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 If you have Firefox you can download adblock - then you won't see any ads... I just installed Opera and there's a way (more complicated) way to block ads too but..isn't the advertising one way that this site is funded? If you're blocking the ads then...

If you're blocking the ads then... Yeah, I have ethical issues with adblockers. There's an implicit social contract here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noob-leech Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Yeah, I have ethical issues with adblockers. There's an implicit social contract here. But then, if you are triggered by a specific ad, it's probably a good idea to block that specific ad so that it won't hunt you down again in the future...

Velvet Elvis Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I'll see if I can block that specific add. I have to have the exact url for the ad to block it. That's a Scientology front group btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withing Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I don't use adblock, but if ads are bothering you, then I figured it was a good suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

null0trooper Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Yeah, I have ethical issues with adblockers. There's an implicit social contract here. Unfortunately, some advertisers don't abide by the deeper (in my opinion) social contract to not abuse the hosting sites' or the visiting users' trust. With enough specific information, the Firefox extension GreaseMonkey can be also be used to redirect such ads. It's a bit difficult to click through to (or talk about) cchr.org, if it's been replaced by apa.org on every page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they've found a host that doesn't care, if they aren't self-hosting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Elvis Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 OK, all ads from cchr.org are blocked. That's just about the only site I can immagine blocking so people shouldn't get in the habit of expecting us to block ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Emperor Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 awesome. Those were the only ones that were totally fucking unnecessary anyway. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wharghoul Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I haven't seen that one so I don't know exactly what that's about, but there's a huge Dianetics one on the right of the page lol. Scientology is a whole new level of crazy. And I'm saying that as a crazy person, so don't take offence at the term crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
