Anti-adblock for forums and online communities

Recovers revenue from the most ad-block-savvy users on your site.

Forums and online communities run on technical, deeply engaged users, and that is exactly the profile most likely to block ads. Ad-block rates above 50% are common, so a community site can be serving more than half its pageviews with no monetisation at all.

These users are also the ones most likely to inspect, copy and tamper with whatever script you deploy. A recovery solution for a forum has to be both hard to bypass and hard to abuse. AntiAdBlock Core is built with that in mind.

The ad-block problem in your vertical

More than half your pageviews can earn nothing

When a forum's audience blocks ads above 50%, the majority of your traffic generates zero ad revenue while still costing you hosting and moderation.

Power users defeat single-signal detectors fast

Community members test, document and share workarounds. A detector with one bait element is reverse-engineered in a thread, and your recovery rate falls off a cliff.

An exposed script is an invitation to abuse

If a detection script can be lifted, replayed or run off-origin, technical users will try. A forum needs a script that only works where you put it.

How AntiAdBlock Core solves it

AntiAdBlock Core's script is domain-locked and HMAC-signed, so it only executes on the origin you registered and cannot be lifted, replayed or quietly modified. That hardening matters most precisely with the technical audience a forum attracts.

Detection itself is an 11-vector ensemble: eleven independent signals vote on every page load, which is far harder for a power user to reverse-engineer than a single check. It catches uBlock Origin and uBlock Origin Lite across every mode, retrains nightly to stay ahead of filter-list updates, and runs a customizable recovery overlay that asks your community politely rather than locking them out.

Frequently asked questions

Will my technical users just bypass the detection?

It is far harder than with a single-signal script. Eleven independent vectors vote on each load, the script is domain-locked and HMAC-signed against tampering, and nightly retraining closes any gaps that surface.

Can the script be copied and abused on another site?

No. It is origin-pinned and HMAC-signed, so it only runs on the domain you registered. Lifting it elsewhere simply does not work.

Is a recovery overlay too aggressive for a community site?

Not if it is tuned right. The overlay is fully customizable, so you can frame it as a polite ask to support the community rather than a hard wall, which suits forum culture far better.
