  • I followed this from Ublock’s Reddit page, it’s working for now.

    Current anti-adblock status: Latest fixed (ID: 462a8d5d)*

    Please, remember these 3 steps:

    Force update all your filter lists (click uBO icon > ⚙ Dashboard button > Filter lists pane > 🕘 Purge all caches > 🔃 Update now)
    Turn off all other extensions AND browser’s built-in blockers
    Remove all your current custom filters AND custom filter lists that you have enabled / added manually (Adguard lists…)
    It might be quicker to make a backup of your config and restore to defaults before proceeding to step 1.

    Fixing anti-adblock can cause ads slipped. If you see any ads slipped, please report back the EXACT URL and your country when accessing the URL so volunteers are able to investigate.

    The filter lists can be updated multiple times a day, so please always do step 1 before reporting.

    • About the ID above, it’s the ID of YouTube’s script that’s used for anti-adblock, you can monitor it via this link: https://pastefy.app/G1Txv5su/raw (top to bottom is oldest to latest). It means that the current fix is matched with the script with corresponding ID.

    If the latest ID (the last line) does not match the current one written above, it means YT has updated the new one and it might cause anti-adblock again. If it matches and you still get anti-adblock, kindly check the 3 steps above. Thank you.















  • @CraigeryTheKid So some of the things they’ve “allegedly” done are… thanks to the Reddit exodus a lot of the posts have been deleted but the accusations were… they created ads that ran before their games encouraging you to return and get more games, they created their own DRM that would block you from launching if you deleted their link files back to their site from your install folder, they had malware on their website through javascript that would inject adware, at least on one occasion a game installed something called Guard.exe malware. There is also the fact that they once had and then lost their trusted status on 1337x, probably for the malware. There are some to this day that argue the uploads on 1337x are safe because they moderate the uploads, but I’d be wary of trusting them.

    Edit: I thought I hit reply to @CraigeryTheKid but apparently not. I’m confused.


  • Frakes recently renewed his call for the episode “Code of Honor” from season 1 to be completely removed from reruns, home video, and steaming platforms. He made the call in the past. So while they might not ever remove it, some people would like it to be removed.

    “But I was told or I was under the impression that it had rubbed so many people the wrong way that it was pulled. I think they should take it out of the rotation. I think it is a great time to make that kind of – as small as it is – to make that kind of a statement would be fabulous.”

    Also, I just realized I posted this on the completely wrong article that I thought I was, I thought I was posting to a different topic about Frakes’ request to remove the episode after finding out it was on Paramount’s streaming service.


  • I hate this reaction to removal they want, I’m a big fan of the placement card at the start of these things that say “What you are about to see is wrong and shouldn’t have been done,” but not that removal of the content. I think it’s way more powerful to put that content warning placard before a show from the '90s as proof there are still things that need to be done and it’s not a “distant” past thing.

    Edit, I guess '80s for this episode.
