Currently running Adblock Plus, and sadly, the ads are still shown. I've used the "Block Element" option on the ads multiple times, but it appears it's impossible to disable ads as of late.

It's not that the ads are malicious or obtrusive, it's that they no longer can be disabled, thus running the load times of the site into the ground. Since they are neither malicious or obtrusive, there's no reason to actually report them.

I understand reporting these ads would be helpful, but sadly, I think there are either too many to count, or they are the only ads left. Even if we do report them and they're all removed, others will just come along.

outpost it now a ad site, they worked hard on it.
after 3 weeks you still cant list cs.go items and no one takes a look into it or even acknowledges it. also, no improvements to the site in ages (can anyone remember the last good update on outposts UI?) shows you the way outpost is going (possible ad revenue over everything). ive been a premium subscriber since 2012/2013 but i wont renew until this mess is fixed properly.

I wouldn't have a problem with the ads if they weren't complete pigs when it came to resources.

Can't have more than a few outpost tabs open without it causing a very noticeable slowdown of my entire browser.

I'm switching to bazaar.tf. From what I know, the only thing they are doing to alleviate the ad problem is lowering the premium price to a dollar per month (premiums get no ads) so people just give in and go premium. I've seen moderators on here link people to the same thing every time with no further input every time there's a thread regarding unpleasant ads, but reporting doesn't do much in the end. Even if you report those video ads or ads that are borderline intrusive and they get removed, more will just come along. Outpost says they have no control over their ads, but they should have control over who they choose to provide ads for them. It's obvious that their ad provider is not the best and there are probably better ones out there.

For me personally these ads are also making load times rediculous despite good internet and my computer not being a trash can, and when I'm switching pages often it's unbearable.

I also speculate they are forcing ads past adblock. Anyone notice how every time you go to a different page on the site, you're redirected to another link for a split second before reaching your destination? I'm no expert but that may have something to do with it, as before, when adblock was blocking ads on the site (I used adblock back then also since there were bad ads at the time), I was never getting that redirect. Even if it's not related though, it's still pretty shady. What's the purpose of that redirect?

Nonetheless, I understand that they need ads for revenue, as do most sites, but the way Outpost is handling their ad problem right now, it is pretty poor. If things change and improve then I'll come back to trading on Outpost, but right now, even if it's less popular, I'm heading to bazaar.tf.

Seems outpost whent full greed on ad revenue. Sucks

These ads are crazy, my laptop starts overheating whenever I go to tf2outpost.

Switch to bazaar.tf. It's overall a much better website, less resource-consuming, and better than TF2Outpost overall in a lot of ways.
