No one receives Ad revenue of any kind from MMV except server host, Forumotion.com

Merged 2 topics and adding some clarifications.

No one on this website receives any ad revenue of any kind. Ads you may see or adfly references are all coded into forumotion.com templates. They do this to offset their costs on hosting forums for free. This is discussed because adfly was recently added to various filesharing links via our server hosts as part of their wanting to off-set free webhosting.

It is highly recommended that you use an adblocker and/or some sort of adfly referral remover (harder to find) as add-on's with your preferred browser.

Original post 10/18/2013

Recently viewed the website from a different computer and noticed that the free forum software we run on adds a lot of advertisements.

I didn't know that before due to had an ad-blocker add on with my web browser.

Therefore, for better viewing of the website, suggest you might want to try doing the same, finding an ad blocking add on to work with your browser.

I recommend AdBlock Plus for Firefox Users...

that's all.

Im using ad block on chrome and it works like a charm too

Just to make you all aware, we have zero control of that and it is not something we as a forum are implementing.

If you are not aware, we run on a free forum format. One of the things hardcoded in by the people that own the server we run on is adding adfly to certain download links. I guess that is how they try to offset the cost of providing free server usage.

A couple instances, we've tried to bypass the adfly by coding the links, but got zero feedback in that regard. An example of what I mean by that can be found here: https://mugenmultiverse.forumotion.com/t2245-tony-stark-s-showroom-released-updated-12-11

You are welcome to give feedback on coding of links here if you'd like.

The main purpose of this topic is to inform you why adfly is added automatically by the people who own the server and providing free webspace.

Yes, I'll put sendspace for my works and I don't have control of this, but I have Ad-Block tool in Firefox so I think is a good idea for other people who dislike tis publicity

well it works it bypasses the page need to  try it again though to be sure

EDIT: kk just did it again by the way. all you do is right-click "open link" and it seems to go directly to the mediafire page?
