Intrusive Adblocker Warning on Proboards

Post by PriceRight89 »

Every so often, a Proboards forum I frequent is now giving me this slide in message along the bottom:

When I click it, it brings up this full-page warning:

(Yeah, because talking down to me is really going to make me turn off my ad blocker.)

Anybody else who uses Proboards getting this with AdBlock Plus? I know Proboards is one of the more notorious ad blocker haters but what they're doing is ridiculous. This particular tactic started happening to me earlier this week. Now when the initial message comes up, I click onto another page or refresh. If you click the banner, you can't get rid of the second message unless you click "Sorry, I'll do it next time".
