I have been noticing a few more adds on the site lately that aren't Whiskey Media related. Whenever I see a new one I usually click on it quickly just so maybe Giantbomb.com actually makes this thing called money. As the site doesn't have memberships (which i would totally pay for) I feel the is the next best thing to do. Your thoughts?

There aren't really any ads.  
 
How does GB not have ads? It's kindof a good thing I guess... but it makes no sense how they make money. If I ran a site I'd just say "No ads, but click the donate button!"  
 
I think it's already been proven that video game fans can actually donate a decent amount of cash.. just look at the 1UP guys.

Wow I'm suprised by the number of people who don't see ads. About 1 in every 3 times I click into a topic a banner appears on the right side of the screen.

Ya I always do a couple of new tab clicks, I figure its a polite gesture for the sites I like.

I use Ad Block Plus so that should be my reason, but it could also be because I'm in the EU....

I have AdBlocker Plus activated but when I heard that the ads were out, I temporarily disabled it and clicked on a few ads like 15 times each. Anything for these guys.

Now that's dedication!   :P
 
I do on occasion. Usually whenever I see a new ad I'll click it.

I don't see the ads because of AdBlocker Plus.

Excuse me if this is a rude thing to ask, but what kind of idiots click on website ads? If I do, I guarantee you it was on accident and I'll be closing the window immediately.

Yup, I click them, the Age of Conan ones I did out of actual interest though, wanted to see what was going on with that game when I saw the ad. 
 
Anyone notice the "Luchadeals" on game pages now?

@TheGreatGuero:
i don't click on the ads because they interest me, that would be kind of stupid when you could just google the game and get WAY more info quickly. I do it because in a very tiny way it helps giantbomb continue running. Which is something we all can agree on we want to happen.

I disabled ABP on this site because some of the ads are actually interesting and some are funny as well.

I click on every ad I can whilst on GB, just to help the guys out.  I dont have an iphone/ipod touch but have even considered buying the app just so I can give the guys some money towards this fantastic site.
