Your method also violates their terms of service, users must willingly click on 
an ad.fly link for the traffic to be considered legitimate. (By the way I toyed 
around with this idea when adfly was getting big, my account was terminated 
without warning, and the terms were added to avoid issues like that from 
happening.)

  I’m trying out http://adf.ly via a custom-built system. Players click the 
Skip Ad button after the 5-second timer expires and it closes the MOTD window 
that way. It appears fine for most people most of the time, but not for others.

  Kinda annoying though, as closing the window relies on the page actually 
displaying. I had to build a 15-second failsafe timer into it to automatically 
close it.

  Yeah I noticed that sometime it just takes a few sec to load. However, in 
terms of pinion ads, there will be a new system for them enforced that may 
cause server owners to force you to want the whole ad. The idea is that they 
will only pay for ads that have been completely watched. Anyways, what is the 
URL you are trying to McKay? Maybe its an error with the page?

    I might add that sometimes if you wait (several) seconds, it _might_ 
appear. I tend to click as fast as I can so as not to see the pinion ads. 
Client side issue for sure, though.

      Incredibly annoying. I get the same issue, please fix.
