I disabled Adblock for Wikia for about a week until I got completely fucking fed up with the way ads would ruin the reading experience of a page by drastically altering it's size (we're talking paragraphs squashed into two or three words per line) or cause my entire browser to crash (this happened enough times to really infuriate me), even working on a pretty decent gaming rig. At that point, I decided it's not my job to police bad ads, they can suffer without my ad revenue, and re-enabled adblock.

Now they're hitting me with the "We notice you use an adblock program" popup and after so many of those, they remove the X that allows you to exit out of the window until you delete your Wikia cookies to restart the counter. I will of course find a workaround for this as well.

Wikia, if you want ad revenue, you better get to work and fix your shitty ads that are ruining the experience and crashing peoples browsers. If your site is CRASHING BROWSERS from it's ads, why would we want to support the site via ad revenue? We wouldn't, and we won't. Get with the program. Fix your shit, or adblock we will.
