HAha, me, too!
I'm sure it's just a typo, but it's still false advertising...

I didn't used to block them... I didn't mind tracking cookies... but then I got malware once, and thats when I never let these ads show up again.... Plus I blocked google ads and stuff like that (and hurray, no more ads on facebook), its not like i only blocked them from this site...

Some sites I block the ads, but this site doesn't shove them in your face like most.

I've donated to the site via paypal, so I block the ads.

Thats fine and all but it still makes us not gain money. If you know how to use adblock then you know that there is a whitelist feature. You could whitelist this website and support us, but not see them anywhere else. Its not like they are that invasive.

I think that is fine and understandably, I see no reason why you shouldn't.

ads are still up, so does it matter if theyre seen? i figure, theyre still being put up there, and the site is getting funded, but i dont have to see them... ( i dont really care, nor do i block them)

The way adsense works is by every click it gets the site gets money. Also, some work if the user buys the product on the ad. So yes, it matters if they are seen and clicked
