Simply put, the ads on the main site are provided by google who vouch for their safety. Those ads also have the word ad above them to indicate they are ads. Adf.ly and adfoc.us are the only reason we've been able to keep running as long as we have...
The number one (and it's a big one) problem with modpacks is that they provide no support whatsoever. If you have a look at any modpack that has pixelmon on technic you'll find that they're filled with people asking for help and not getting any. Modpack providers seem to think it's not their problem at all while not providing any links to our website or helping anyone out. It's ridiculous. We tried to enter into an official agreement with technic over providing an official modpack on their platform but as soon as we did our end they went and backstabbed us while refusing to fulfill the conditions that they said they would. We want nothing more to do with them.
While you seem to think that this approach is hamstringing the mod it's actually the opposite. We have seen ridiculous growth and I do believe a large part of that is due to the centrality of this website and the way it provides support for the mod. Especially in earlier versions support was extremely necessary due to the bugs/glitches that we have now solved so many of (again thanks to the fact that everyone using the mod posts their issues here).
I understand you have a problem with all that but I'd prefer you didn't try and pick fights on these forums, it doesn't do anyone any good
