Our vBulletin forum has become a valuable resource for people searching the internet for game related news and discussion. A large part of our revenue is from adsense and amazon partnership.

Some of our users are savvy web users with AdBlock. These users are not helping us fund the site and we believe that a percentage of them may not mind the ads anyway. Maybe even a percentage of that will find the ads interesting(we go through great lengths to make sure that ads are relevant to the content they are reading and that there are few and its clean to the design).

So what we are looking for is an AdBlock Blocker. Any users that try to access the site with AdBlock on, get a message that to visit the site, they must turn it off.

After all they are not helping anyway, AND we think a percentage of them will like some of the ads. Anyone heard of such a thing for vBulletin?
