Websites now asking people to turn off Adblock?

I've had a message pop up on a forum I'm on asking me to disable my adblock on their forum. It happens several times a day.

I understand they want ad revenue. At the same time, they run a shop off of their forum and also want people to buy from them. But, that's the purpose of adblock, so I don't have to see that shit.

Have you guys been seeing this on any other sites? Would the universe collapse if I block their "adblock detector" page?
