Why should I turn my ad blockers off for Anime-Planet?

[sothis]

I've seen this come up a few times, so I'll make a thread:

We know, ads are annoying - but we also know that the ads on Anime-Planet are the only way (besides your generous donations) that we get any $ through the door to help pay for the high development and server costs V3 is draining from our personal accounts. Currently we aren't getting enough ad revenue to cover anything close to what we are spending on getting V3 up and running for you.

So please, I humbly request that you allow ads to be shown for AP in your ad blockers - it won't make much of a difference to you, but it will make a difference for us! Clicking ads you think are interesting help us a lot, too.

(and of course, there's always donations@anime-planet.com for paypal! :D)

Thanks for supporting AP!

Yea! I'll click the hell out of some ads occasionally when visiting!

I click ads every now and again, and A-P is the only site that I allow my adblocker to ignore.
Besides, they're pretty seamless ads. They don't make noise, they don't pop-up and they don't flash in seizure inducing ways. Not to mention they're geared towards Anime and manga so you might find something you like. I found a good manga site through A-P's ads.

So quit being a blocker.

the main reason im not having any ads is that my internet connection is damn slow. you can't even play a game with someone else browsing on the internet. thus, in order to save bandwidth im disabling any ads. currently a new dsl connection (fiber glass) is being installed and i should get a much better connection then, but until then i will not turn off adblock for any site. sorry.

I agree. I barely even notice they are there most of the time. Compared to other sites where they are all in your face and annoying, these are no problem at all.
