Regardless of them getting money from ads, I will not disable it and this is a prime example why. Had I happen once on a site similar to FR.

Oops I forgot Twitch! That's the other site I don't use it on.

If FR made more of an effort to really improve a lot of the features of their game, I'd consider whitelisting them, but as of right now they stay blocked.
The only ads I got were for point-and-click games that always featured half naked ladies in their ads, before anyone gets any ideas. :P

I don't know why though. I don't play any point-and-click games or anything else online other than FR really. There was also an ad with a freaky gargoyle face that I hated which is why I blocked ads.

What was the puzzle? If it was offensive, SS it and submit it for being inappropriate.

Sorry if I sounded insensitive when I said about Ad Block. I'll try to remember to disable before I watch any videos from now on.

That is perfect reason of why. Tyger says it better than I did :>

I don't turn off adblocker for most sites, not even youtube because I don't enjoy ads being played during my music that are 5 minutes long and I can't skip them. If it were just the small pop ups at the bottom, I'd be okay with them. Only website I truly remove ads on is Wowhead.

I might actually be wrong about FR ads. They made an announcement about disabling their ads and speaking to their ad company about why ads are auto-taking people away from the website and that doesn't sound like something Google ads would do.

You don't need to turn it off you can just whitelist Youtube. Then you don't need to worry about doing it all the time XD

I don't remove it from YouTube because 90% of my playlists are on there. I don't need ads ruining my motivation when I'm trying to work. -.-

I'm trying to buy this dragon, and getting this!? He IS for sale, I refreshed the page, and it's still 'purchasable' to me.

Image

I don't know what to do. I would message the person who owns dragon but if it's a glitch and he's owned by someone else, I wouldn't want to seem rude or pushy..

Scarlet, I suspect his auction expired and he's in the post-auction void! That happens sometimes- it lasts about an hour, I think. I'd say contact the owner!

I may have panicked a bit!

But yes, you are right, I think that is what happened, after a few moments, he was not for sale any more.

Sent them a message ^.^'

Not sure if a rant so much as resignation, I rehomed many of my leaf pairs to the husband and my son until such time as we have enough lair space to do a theme lair as well as normal things.....I will miss my babies :(

Wow the economy is still a wreck here? I stopped playing quite a few months ago after having to trash one too many expensive hatchlings. I stopped by for a visit to take a peek at how things are going and it looks pretty underwhelming. aside from the new gene a while back it looks like nothing has changed. I kind of hoped the Riot of Rot would have some new apparel i would like but that was underwhelming too. I am really sad to see things in such a state. I really loved this game but its so incredibly stale.
I guess I will return to Magistream and visit again later. :(
