As you may know from multiple people, @gamejolt dropped a silent update where they removed the ability to toggle ads and re-enabled ads on gamepages that disabled them. This doesn't stop adblockers as far as I know.
This is a very bad change for FNaF fangames (majority of this site's population/games) because of ad revenue. Ad revenue is money obtained from people viewing the ads on your gamepage. For FNaF fangames that have copyrighted characters, especially with Nintendo characters, have a somewhat good chance of getting a DMCA takedown notice from Nintendo themselves.
In order to avoid this, you can either unlist your game, making people only able to access it through the link itself, minimizing ad revenue while new visitors are gone, or hope that people viewing the pages have an adblock on them, the latter being very ineffective as far as I know.
If you have ANY FNaF fangame pages that have copyrighted characters in them (Nintendo, Sega, Atari, etc.) UNLIST THEM IMMEDIATELY until @gamejolt , at the very least, backtracks on this and re-adds the ability to turn off ads. If you have a FNaW fangame of yours that you want kept for people to play, DM me on ANY social media you can and submit the link or game file so I can keep it in a spreadsheet, this will make it at least accessible.
This situation can't be ignored.
