It will make a come back. A month ago I was secretly logging the accounts of those who used adblock on our sites and found about 60% of users block our advertising.

Our advertising is a massive contributor to our running costs, the donator etc is there to support us when times are a bit dry but realistically 90% of our income is from the advertising. We have one banner, no sounds, or annoying crap just one banner. That one banner keeps us going.

So, yeah if I need to take extreme measures to ensure we have sufficient income coming in I will and it won't be up to the members to decide otherwise.

Things that have been considered is placing blocking members into restricted usergroups, interrupting page loads. Scaling advertising based upon the monthly earnings.

Since the introduction of the extra non-member advertising 2 months ago we have been hitting our monthly target.

I got adblock because 90% of the Habbox community are immature and spam images 200x like @lemons; I don't actually know how to remove Habbox from the filter...

Are you using Firefox or Google Chrome? This will most likely still apply:

Show Hide

Chrome:

To disable adblock on Chrome for Habbox you first need to go into your adblock options/settings. After doing click the 'Whitelisted domains' tab and, in the first box, add the following sites (one after another):

www.habbox.com
www.habboxforum.com
www.habboxwiki.com
www.habboxlive.com

An alternate way of doing this would be to click the adblock icon with your middle mouse button when browsing one of our sites and untick the option "Enabled for this site".

Firefox:

To disable adblock on Firefox for Habbox you first need to click Tools (in the menu bar), hover over Adblock and click 'Filter Preferences'. Then when the pop up opens use the shortcut Ctrl+R (or Cmd+R on Mac) to open the advanced section. Then click 'Add filter' and add the following rules in seperately:

@@||habbox.com^$document
@@||habboxforum.com^$document
@@||habboxwiki.com^$document
@@||habboxlive.com^$document

An alternate way of doing this would be to click Tools, Hover over Adblock Plus and click 'Disable on [habbox site URL]'.

adblock makes my life easier sorry

*Well gl getting any new members who come to the site, they'll see they can't access it without turning off adblock and then leave and never return 99 percent of the time. Sure you'll get some of the current members turn it off, but you are never going to see large user increases if you block all access to the site for anyone using adblock.

*That's if you re-enable stop.habbox.com.

I'm sure someone told me once that the adverts are aimed at the user and relate to what they have searched for in the past etc LOL


OT: I don't mind the banners, don't really pay any attention tbh
