Is there a hack that stops Adblock from working?

Users bragging about how Adblock stops Google ads.

No, it's done client side. You would need to develop ads not currently in the adblock filterset.

If you're really adamant, enclose a CAPTCHA wrapped in the google ad tags that users must enter in order to post/reply. Then, those with AdBlock enable would be SOL.

But, honestly, a few studies have shown that on average less than 1% of the web browsing community uses Ad-Blocking of some sort. Not nearly enough to affect site revenue.
