I opted out of all cookies when I logged in just now, and I run an ad blocker for 99% of websites, and to the right of this text input box are two boxes imploring me to think about the FlyerTalk team and how it's so easy for me to help them out by disabling my ad blocker.

Ironic, considering this is a website and forum dedicated to frequent travelers, a significant number of whom A: use VPNs when abroad for any number of which use VPNs when abroad and B: are unable to access anything on FlyerTalk while abroad using those legitimate VPNs. As this thread is now 7.5 years old (It'll be 8 this November) and this is STILL an ongoing problem that the "FlyerTalk Team" has no intention of fixing, No thank you, I will continue to deny you the ad revenue. Sorry, I'd be happy to help you out there, but you can't be bothered to even let me participate without using an insecure network connection. Such a sad, ironic shame.
