@Nathan: you’re probably using an ad-blocker. Which is too bad, really – ad revenue keeps this site going :)
Bart,
Who can blame us for using Ad blocking. Ads suck at the best of times. Blocking Ads eliminated most if not all of the porno type links.
I would think that site owners would need to get creative in dealing with that problem because ad blocking is here to stay.
You could detect if an ad blocker is running and prompt with a plea to disable for this site.
It will take some effort, because I for one would not stop using an ad blocker. It is the only thing that makes browsing worth while for me.
Thank you Bart, I disabled my ad blocking, and figured out how to download this ebook.
You can also download the first book for free as well:

I hate ad’s as much as anyone else. For those who use ad blockers and refuse to unblock them, you can still download the ebook from here:
(the link below isn’t intended to drive you away from clicking the ad link above, it’s only here for those who do not wish to support Blendernation by clicking his ad which keeps a great site like Blendernation running. I personally clicked the ad and encourage you as well.)

Realize that if you use an ad blocker for this site you end up missing all the great ads for blenders and other household appliances that show up hear every once in a while.
@ccherret: I’m blaming nobody, just stating how things are :) And yes, I use an ad-blocker too. I just unblock sites that I tend to read a lot so I can properly support them. Anyway, you’re free to make up your own mind and use this site however you see fit!
@ccherret: oh, and by the way – I’ll look into an adblocker detection script, but I’m worried that people may find that more annoying than the ads themselves. How do you feel about that?

Oops. I also don’t mean to undermine the ads…I just didn’t see the link either!
thanks for the information .
Bart: I think you might be right that the informations about the ad-blocker activated would probably be as much annoying as the ads themselfs. Thus, I think that the best solution is the simplest one: to disable the plugin on the webpages you use very often. I do that all the time, maybe not with all sites but with the ones that are not abusive with their ads, like blendernation.com for example.
it’s good
