As I have mentioned before, I strongly support the ability for server owners to force advertisements on clients. I don't particularly *like* it (I don't run Pinion or play on any servers that have it), but it's a good way for server owners to pay for the server that they're providing you *for free*. If you can't afford 30 precious seconds of your time, blacklist and move on. Just don't bypass a server owner's restrictions for your own selfish desires.
