I don’t know what Tom’s used to do but I just checked and AdBlockPlus works on Tom’s Hardware no problem and it doesn’t appear that they serve ads from their own server. Although, that does sound like a very interesting “compromise” in that if you block their ads, you also block their images. The user has to decide if the price of admission (viewing ads) is worth the cost (viewing images).

If I recall correctly, Tom’s Hardware is Adblock-hostile, as their ads are served from the same location as their regular graphics, so blocking the ads will also block the graphics.
