I have been using the advanced tracking protection feature set to "strict" in Firefox for a while now and EVGA forums work fine. Usually, if a site doesn't work, I simply don't go to that site. All of the sudden a couple of days ago the EVGA forums site no longer works with it set to strict, did something change? I don't see why EVGA would care about ad blockers on their forums, THERE ARE NO ADS! What gives?
 
EDIT: BTW, I was getting the "site down" message with the Firefox "strict" setting.

    Actually the site has been down the last few days or at least over the weekend so I can assure you it's not on your end as I was experiencing the same thing.

    We had some power issues that did affect our servers over the weekend but outside of that nothing has changed and we do not mind if you have a adblocker because we do not advert anything other than EVGA products.
