I've seen a lot of sites use scripts to detect if ads are being blocked or not. If they are, they instead show a little message saying something along the lines of "if you enjoy this site, please disable ad-block".
That could be something worth looking into?

I don't even use Ad-Blocks when i go on this website, but i do on other websites. Most of the ads on this website when i go in this site revolves around video game sales anyways. But i never never ever dare click on them, i ignore them on this site.

He's probaly talking about the advertizing ads that normally shows up on the lowest part of of each webpage on this web site. Unless your browser is blocking them out.

Cg just has to follow those guidelines and send the adblock team a message to have the site whitelisted.

As we all know, the site has had some trouble lately. I saw that cg said in the chat room that it's just simply not able to keep up with the load on the current servers. The next step up is about 2.5 times more expensive than the current plan.
I'm sure a lot of us just install ad-blockers and never think about them... but if it's a site you love like steamgifts (and steamtrades, steamgamesales), please whitelist in your ad-blockers (I had to do it in AdBlock, Ghostery, and Disconnect).
It only shows one ad, at the very bottom of the screen. I don't even see it most of the time because you have to scroll all the way down for it.
Let's give more than just games, let's give our ad revenue too!
