Why

I disabled it for 2 seconds. I reloaded twice and saw 1 advert about some dating site and a charming innocent imvu advert

This is why I keep them off.

It also actually slows down loading of pages for me rather noticeably (i live in a really crappy internet area js).

You can also disable customised adverts iirc.

FYI on 90% of pageloads my ads don't display despite the fact I don't even have adblock installed. Seems isolated to Habbox for some reason.

I have disabled adblock on forum, I won't and don't plan to do it for;
Habbox.com
HabboxLive.com
HabboxWiki

Mainly as I don't use them, HabboxWiki is pretty pointless, should be merged into Habbox.com (Also notice that Wikipedia doesn't even have ads, It has "contributors")
HabboxLive should of been merged into Habbox.com, Although the new site is better just looks like the black market site's radio version lol

I still think that anyone who's blocking ads is rather selfish but it's nice to see that some members have now turned them on! I barely even notice them now. I didn't know that the whole guest thing was a feature but I wouldn't even NOTICE if there was one at the bottom so I doubt it'd stop them signing up!

idgi even on a small screen the adverts don't take up like any space at all, no need to block them

Also dunno if it still does it but for a while I was using Google DNS because I was having some problems and whenever I had it connected through that I got the AdBlock message thingy on the forum which was odd

Well actually I am considering having interruptions to forum browsing for adblock users instead. So every 1 in x page requests results in an x second interruption.

do it then you lose £15 a year in VIP m8

how much does it cost to run habbox servers per month
how much do you currently get via advertisements?

Jin how much bandwidth does Habbox use P/M?
