Board Thread:Support Requests - Designing Your Wikia/@comment-5280383-20160318112039

Hello,

i'm with Wikia for a while. Recently i started a wiki for an upcoming game - my first wiki in the game category. I was quite shocked that browsing the wiki with adblock disabled was not impossible but, to put it lightly, a challenge.

I firmly believe that advertisement has its place in the web and therefore i always try to work adverts into the design instead of hoping the user will use adblock. So in wikis of other categories like movies or books the adverts where managable. However, in the game category they seem absolutly out of control. Probably to catch the attention of the younger demographic?

For example, the advertisement for the playstration 4 is a page-filling ad with multiple overlays that removes background images and inserts multiple youtube videos at different positions. Not only destroying the layout but IE11 for example even crashes now and then when the ad comes up.

Currently, i'm thinking about a self hosting solution because i'm not sure if i want to deal with this. Even tough i really appriciate the SEO optimization wikia does and the overall comfort.

TL;DR: Is there any way to control the nature of ads on a wiki, disabling the ones that cause above problems?
