ads on gfy aren't exactly "intrusive" either, lets be real, it's not like there is a popup hell each time you click a thread...
my claim is not nonsense, I know for a fact that I'm losing ton of $$ because of ad blockers...
I'm sure you are losing $$ indirectly too, for example: some sponsor spends $10k on ad package on gfy and gets little to no results because half the people on here have ad blockers... that $10k is partially coming out of your pocket, maybe that sponsor will no longer have $$ for a new better converting design for their tours, or will have to cut back on their content, etc = less $$ for you

Intrusive ads are the ones which constantly repeat on site.For me it would be good to see just one banner when i come to site and not anymore.When they start to repeat,and even same content to start to repeat,that is what i cant tolerate.Another approach what would be good,is to add forum section called "Sponsor Advertisers"where advertisers would be able to post threads and those threads would be visible entire time till they pay for advertisement,if they stop then thread would be moved to announcements.But if you ask me i think boards,shows and adult newspaper are kind a bad sources of affiliate programs compared to sites like 6bot and signbucksdaily and even webmaster surfer sites(sometime i just check other sites and if i like content i check which sponsor is behind it).
Also to return to your previous post,according to your logic it would be better to see ad,click on it,not buy anything,and then advertiser loses money which he paid to google(or whoever servers ad)instead simply blocking ad and not seeing it at all.
