Hey Mr. Super Moderator
You need to clean up your house or are you just in the wheel business. This is the worst car forum I have EVER been on . It's a shame as I really like car forums. I can understand some advertisements but this is just crazy. No wonder the low amount of post here.

Sorry but awiner (Mr. Super Moderator) may not be able to answer your concerns immediately. He is too busy selling Pirelli's and figuring out how to place more advertisements between each post.......he hates wasted pixel space. Damn is he ever pulling in the $$$$$.
While you are waiting for an official awiner response, let me add a couple thoughts. First, MBworld is the largest Mercedes enthusiast site on the web and owned by Internet Brands. IB ultimately decides on the placement and the number of advertisements you see on each page. While it would be fantastic to see zero advertisements, I'm afraid that is not part of the IB business model.
As far as the low post count in this section, it is likely due to the CLS 218 being a relatively new body style. My vote is for the CLS over the Lexus.
Now stop being so angry and go have some fun.

I have found this amount of advertising a pain, I used to come on here to use the E Class forum, which was great. I have been a bit suprised by the small amount of posts relating to the CLS, although I appreciate this is not a model with so many sold. Are Americans obsessed with taking a new car and putting after market wheels on?

Rock nailed it. The staff here has no control over the ads but, you personally can control what is seen here.
I am sure that IB does not want me telling you how to download plug-ins to run on certain browsers, that will block those ads completely, so I won't.

LOL, I have never been an angry person and am not now. I know there must be others that feel this way every time they visit or am I the only one?

I dont mind the ads at the bottom etc but when they are threads and the advertisers keep adding to them to keep them at the top, its a real pain. Especially as it is by far outnumbering any genuine threads of interest.

these forums are the shasta man! I don't even know what you mean by ad's...
like thread topics?? like wheels? yes! wheels are a BIG business!
I like seeing the good threads, and I like to see the bad ones too...
some of the sponsers even get pissed off which is hilarious sometimes....
it really does not bother me in the slightest.....but then again, I don't think I really understand where you're coming from.....
not trying to be smart but, are you behind the wheel of MB currently? or maybe from the past?
do wheels really bother the 'rest of the world?'

I happen to find this one of the best forums around--especially with the amazing new look! It is light-years ahead of the old look. Really brought this forum up to par for 2012.

i drive them all, fast and hard
i agree some of the sponsor "bump" of ads are getting annoying, because they hit up every freaking thread, they should be relegated to a specific thread
esp the companies who sell some of those cruddy looking wheels, u know who u are
