Adblock message

Yaliskah posted a message a few weeks ago related to adblocker usage on Return of Reckoning.
As all of you know, this project is free for everyone, and we want it to stay like this for a lot of reasons (legal mainly, but not only).
Nowadays, this project is hosted on 2 servers : 1 for app/database which costs every month, and 1 for web part offered by Yaliskah and I on our server used for other projects of ours.
The previous message asked you to disable adblockers on Return of Reckoning, because the only way to pay servers is ads. Nowadays, we don't earn enough money each month for that, and Yaliskah have to pay from his pocket (yes, he's a good guy
). This situation can not continue like this.
No, we won't make a shop or anything like that, nor ask you money for this project. No we won't put intrusive ads like other websites does sometimes.
We only want you to disable your adblockers, and it seems that only a post isn't enough. That's why starting from now, if you have an adblocker on RoR, you'll receive a message once a week (we'll check if it's enough) asking you to disable it. I my personal opinion, it's not a huge effort for every player to disable an adblocker to play for free to this game.
If it really annoys you, sorry, but i'll stay like this
