What point are you making? That you somehow think that companies can exist without taking in any money, and so you should feel offended if they attempt to do so? That you not only have the right to find away around them getting incidental revenue from you using their service repeatedly, but that you have the right to feel insulted and infringed upon when they put up a note to remind you that the ad revenue pays for the services you use for free? That you should be outraged that a petrol station tries to charge you for gas when you paid for a car, or that a grocery store tries to charge you for buying detergent when you already bought a washing machine?
You're not making a point. You're making a joke. And if the joke is unintentional...then you're making me sad for humanity.
EDIT: We completely understand what you're saying. It's just illogical and selfish.

It's already been explained. If YOU can't understand the explanation, then there is no way for us to make it plainer to you.

You know, if you really want to rant about white listing, there are a lot of the threads for that in Feedback.
It's not so much a rant it's frustrating becayse I am trying to explain myself but i don't know how. No one seems to understand.
No, it's a rant, and no one wants to understand because it doesn't make sense.

holy crap!
Tionjewlnique you really need to get a grasp on how life works man. Wowhead is one of the best comunity sites one could ever hope to find for World of Warcraft, and they provide all of their services for free. But stuff like this isn't cheap, or free to do, their databases arent stored in a happy magical ethereal place. Its stored on a server, and that costs money to maintain.
They're not asking you to mindlessly click on the ads like a drone, simply to have them on to suport them, or if you want the extra mile, go premium and help them make this site better.
I think its incredibly selfish, and downright hipocritical for you to make use of their services, and then feel offended because they ask you to scratch their back, after they scratched yours first.

Ok, how bout we simplify this.
Wowhead needs money in order to work. It gets money by putting up ads. So, the ads you say should be blocked, and encourage people to block, are actually vital to the service you take advantage of. The only two foreseeable alternative for money is for subscriptions, or for Squish and Ashlia to sell their kidneys.
So, logically, we all need to ad block, sell Ash and Squish's kidneys. Yep. I like where this is going.Wowhead is one of the best comunity sites one could ever hope to find for World of WarcraftNO!or if you want the extra mile, go premium and help them make this site better.
This becomes problematic if the unified login has an email that is the email that should be the unified login. Optimal alignment can be reached by either redistributing login emails between ZAM and wowhead, or by reaching critical mass. /wrists

I sort of see what you mean. It's like growing something is still easy, but takes time. Appearing out of thin air is magical.
No..
I just meant that money is made of paper and paper is made from trees. It wasn't some strange metaphor lol.

we will also sell hat's kidney.
I like hat. He can keep his vital organs. He might just have to give up a toe or something.

Is there a large black-market for toes, do you think?
@Tionjewlnique- We replied in the same manner you presented. Your post was rude, was aggressive towards the policy and wowhead, and self-entitled. If you don't understand something, generally the best policy is to ask a question so you understand and not make a rude statement about it. If you'd done that, I imagine you'd have gotten a good-natured reply right off the bat.

You need a toe? I can get you a toe. I can get you a toe by 3 o clock, with nail polish.
