Update 8/11/14: This no longer works. When the ad loads, the screen becomes the blue Fantage loading screen and you can’t see anything. You either have to disable AdBlock and watch the ad, or keep AdBlock and refresh the page. Since the ad is only like 30 seconds, help Fantage by disabling AdBlock on their domain. It makes nearly no difference to you, but I’m sure it gives them a lot of money!
I’ve been wanting to post this ever since the Cosmic Bingo got released, since I heard many complaints from Nonmembers about the ads getting in the way. So here it is!
A while ago, Fantage added yet another privilege for Members: no ads
Correction: Premium Members and smart Nonmembers get no ads 😉 Here’s how.
Part 1: Get the AdBlock Extension
If you don’t know how to download AdBlock, click here for a post on Fantageville’s BlogSpot blog for instrucitons.
Part 2: Play Ad-Free on Fantage
Already, you will notice that the ads on the right and bottom of the playing window are gone. Yay!
When you’ve played games a couple times, you will notice that if you try and play again, the loading screen gets stuck at 99%
This is because an ad is trying to play, but can’t, because of AdBlock. Most people just log out after this, since you can’t exit. But you can!
Keep pressing Tab on your keyboard until the yellow box is around something you can see. Here are some examples:
It can be anything: a sign in the background, the exit, the buttons on the top of the screen, a button for the game (Yes, No, or High Scores). It doesn’t really matter what it is.
Then, press Enter on your keyboard and close whatever just opened. If nothing happened when you pressed Enter, keep pressing Tab and choose something else.
Now, try and play your game, and it will work!
If you are unable to do this or you don’t understand my explanation, comment. Maybe someone else’s explanation will help you. Or, I can make a video if a lot of people don’t get this.

I’ll comment my testimonial for AdBlock here first, feel free to add yours!
I downloaded it nearly a year ago, and it has given me no problems at all whatsoever. No lag, no viruses, nothing.
I’ve gotten so used to it that it’s weird going on other computers that don’t have AdBlock and seeing ads!
Definitely recommend downloading it 🙂

OMG. Do you know what you just did for all the people who need ads to keep their websites running? You just took out a portion of their revenues. Honestly, how do you think crunchyroll gets the money it needs to be allowed to put the animes on their sites? That’s right, ads or membership. And the youtubers too. The way they buy costumes or props for their videos is from the money ads get them. You could have just stuck to saying that this works for ads on fantage, but now the whole internet has to pay. Do you even consider the ramifications of your actions? I know that everyone doesn’t read this blog, but a significant amount of people do.
LikeLike
Ok, then I’ll take out the part about Crunchyroll…?? I don’t see how it would make a difference.
And seriously, I’m just telling people about an extension that was created years ago, that millions of people already use. Your message should be for the creators of AdBlock, not me. And it’s not like I even made that much of a difference, so many people already use it, like I said.
Lol you make it sound like I created AdBlock or something, and that everyone in this world reads my posts
So calm down?

No, what I’m saying is that the people who didn’t know about adblock now know about it and can get to it, and a significant amount of people read this blog to make a small difference.

Dude most people already have AdBlock, the purpose of this post is the second part. I just added the first part about AdBlock because when you blog, you have to be thorough.
I might add at most (and this is stretching it) 10 people to the list of 8 million that are already using it??
Besides, some sites are able to force the user to disable adblock on their domain, or some parts of the site won’t function. You probably don’t know this since you sound like you don’t have adblock (and it would be very ironic if you did), but you can choose to disable it for a domain, in order to help the site earn money from ads.
Last, as this link says: https://adblockplus.org/blog/ads-dont-generate-money
Ads themselves don’t earn sites money. It’s people that click on ads that give sites money. I dunno about you, but I have always ignored ads, with or without adblock.
Adblock doesn’t make a difference if you’re the type of person that never clicked on ads anyway.

My computer receives ads and new tabs whenever an ad appears. It quiet annoying. I have to admit, the first few weeks with it was petrifying. Everyone and then when I open fantage, a rude advertisement shows up. It’s awfully rude. You know guardian angels? A super rude picture. Then I enlarged my viewing and it worked like a charm! The ad cannot be viewed unless you scroll down of course but otherwise, it was perfect.

I have had AdBlock for ages and it worked great, but recently I figured that when I log onto Fantage, I have to pause Adblock and wait for the blue box to come up, then quickly Unpause again to get rid of side-ads, or else the screen is just blank. Plus, I had Adblock on and I played a few games and I got ads, 2 times??!! Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me?
