I actually feel you're judging the ads rather harshly....
I don't use an ad-blocker here.
So I see what you see.
The forum recently had around a 40% reduction in ads.
Most of the ads around the site are simple banners which do not interfere with you in any way.
Then we have the popups your mentioning.
These are rigged to only appear once or twice a day which I don't believe is an unreasonable amount. Especially since some people simply have the login page bookmarked and never visit the rest of the site. These popups use some adblock bypass technology. If people are going to block everything else at least we get one single ad per day played to them. Which again I think is pretty reasonable.
Now this is taken from the ad companies FAQ
Is there any guarantee I will not get malware or virus through your tags?
We are serious about our publisher's property and manually select what kind of ads you display. We never accept suggestive or malicious content from our advertisers. You can also ban specific ads per your request and we will block it immediately.
Again I would say that's reasonable?
If you are getting a specific ad that you really don't feel is appropriate please screenshot it. Copy the link from the top too if you can. And message it to me, I will request its removal.
And if you're wondering about costs? For one we have to be on the Cloudflare business plan.
https://www.cloudflare.com/plans/This outlay alone doesn't actually include anything to run the actual game, no storage, no servers etc.
I hope now you have a better understanding of why we do what we do.
And thank you for all those who turn off your ad-blockers to support FH.
