0 ArcticEngie Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Hello! As the above posters have mentioned, you can disable adverts if you so wish by logging in and disabling them from the "My preferences" drop down. The semi malicious adverts are not ones that Wikia are for the most part aware of and only seem to apply to anonymous users so logging in anyhow will limit most of this As you can probably imagine, the adverts, although slightly questionable of origin are Wikia's sole source of income for hosting, we already have 24k images hosted on their servers including but not limited to audio recordings, gif's and some svg's. We're hopefully getting a Wikia/Fandom director to speak internally regarding the adverts, but it is not my place nor any of the other WARFRAME Wikia staff's to ask you to reconsider Hope this helps!

0 pauli133 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 It's wikia, trying to pay for their servers. If you don't like it, login to the wiki and turn the ads off from there. Easy as can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Praxxor Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Well they are NOT giving you stuff for free either, Wikia exists because of the revenue from the ads, you're literally not letting them get paid. It's your choice to use Adblock just as it's their choice to deny you service for using Adblock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Echoes Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I don't know how a site works, but you need a host to keep that site up so.. I think that's why. You can remove that message I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also for people telling me, its to pay for their stuff, well maybe they shuold not SPAM us with virus's and Ads that we don't need. Thank you very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are still ads on the sidebar. If those are too much, you can always go for the oldschool wikipedia look, and turn on MonoBook: This breaks the visual editor, but hey - no ads, no sluggish javascript, and the layout becomes full width.
