    Hm, alright. I must've just gotten lucky when I checked. It's not too unlikely, so yeah.

    Personally, I use GIMP 2, But I got a friend who uses Paint.net. Honestly, I'd say it probably all comes down to personal preference, try one, or try both, and go with whichever works better for you, I'd say.

    You sure? I just spent a good amount of time trying to find one, but I couldn't find any at all. Perhaps you're referring to Forge? I haven't checked Forge, just CurseForge.

    But I also wouldn't be surprised if I missed one, or if I just got lucky and none appeared.



    Either way, i'm not really on the side of banning AdFly, I'm sorta in the middle. There's a lot to consider, so it's hard to just pick one side.

    I don't think things like AdFly should be outright taken down. But I do think that it should be banned from specific sites. Especially ones with a lot of younger people as the audience. Personally, I've never seen any inappropriate ads from AdFly, but I've seen a whole lot of fake downloads, designed specifically to trick people who don't know better. And considering a lot of these contain malware too.

    I'm really not sure what AdFly could do about this, which is likely why they haven't fixed the problem entirely, but they have been trying, I think. But at least for now, It think the only thing that should be done is the banning of AdFly on sites with a younger audience.

    Unfortunately, I don't think that will be happening, but still.

    Of course, this is all just my take. I'm definitely no professional on the matter.

    Just checked, I do not think CurseForge has any fake download buttons, unless I missed something. Just clicked the download button and the mod instantly started downloading. Still, I could've missed something.



    I still think regardless if its AdFly's fault or not, the annoying fake download ads, and even potential malware, should be avoided if possible.

    That's my take on this matter anyway.
