Has anyone else experienced BoardingArea no longer working due to ad blockers disabling traffic from html-load.com (an ad-recovery service to bypass ad blockers). It looks like they intentionally added code to make it unreadable if they detect an ad blockers.

Not sure why they think people will enable ads, instead of looking for alternatives. I know I am. Yes, I know this is how they make their money, but they should be honest about it, and say they require ads to support their business model. I would respect that, but not their lie about it being an essential part of the website.

I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts to see if I'm missing something in my analysis.
