I don't use ad-block, but knowing so many people do - is why I'm skeptical about using ads on a website unless they are non-annoying and can get past ad-blockers. Well, how about an ad that simply is a link on the forum etc..?

I don't ever turn off my adblocker. Too many annoying ads so I always hesitate about turning it off.
What's the main benefit of doing that instead of using an adblock addon?
I don't use one at all anymore, and I haven't done for a while.. They tend to cause more issues than they help to solve, and if they get too much I'll either look into "premium" membership options if I deem the cost to be reasonable - or find an alternative website serving a similar purpose.
I'm guessing it has to do with avoiding Adblock Detection.. Doing so via a DNS solution can't be detected through the same methods (which usually consists of javascript).
I use adblocker because I am on metered connection. Anything above 2GB daily means I am being charged. Each night the meter resets and I am back on track. If I remove ad blocker it would add additional 1 GB to my quota which is not good for me.
