How do I...

i know it's off topic but first is jbspeed and now nitto tire. i've said it before and will say it again. i'm not against either of them but it's just quite annoying to see their threads keep bumping up by themselves. in fact, nitto tire is even worse . it appears right on the top and every time i was about to click on a thread, it moves one line down and i click on the thread right above the one i was intended to click on .

what do you guys think about them? is there a way i can ignore their threads. i've already put jbspeed on my ignore list but can't do anything about nitto tire. also, even jbspeed is on "the list" but i still can see their threads. did i miss something?

again, i've never dealt with them and hope they are not offended by this thread. but i just think they should post where those threads belong which is classified section.

Vendors and sponsors should have their own sub-forum to sell their stuff.

I agree...I hate see threads being bumped up on a daily basis.

As for PostRelease, they represent the owners of the forum...so Nitto Tires probably paid some bucks to advertise in every forum and sub-forum for exposure.

It's easy, just pay this site more money to remove Nitto than Nitto is paying for the advertisement. It's that simple cause it's all about the money.

back in the good old days, most of the forums are created by bunch of enthusiasts and all they wanted is chat w/other fellow members. no ads, no sponsors, no donations, no b.s. well, maybe some b.s. i guess i just need to make enough to buy out all the ad spaces here. maybe you guys can help me out. my paypal account specifically for donation purposes is buythemads@no.b.s.com

Nitto tires are part of forums so you can see them pop up anywhere on these forums ,it works one of the forums I have been a member of as well

As for the JBL may be mods should sticky their threads but actually there is no need to sticky such threads unless they include some technical useful tips

One more thing, you can use ignore list if there is available on the forums

I just added jbspeed for a try and I logged out and logged in . Right after typing his name I clicked save changes section but I can see the threads despite that change . I think because they're vendors members can not ignore vendors threads
I am gettin' back to User CP and remove jb

it is annoying. Half my "new posts" are from jbspeed. I even bought one of their emblems after he confirmed that yes, these would fit on my w215. And does it? Not even close. Lol. I used the AMG sticker to cover the red triangle on the dash instead so it's not a complete waste

well, sounds like most of the members aren't too happy w/his products. isn't it time to post to his thread and warn other new members or whoever about to make some purchases?

So, no one is on my list after removing his name I refer to ignore list in other words it's all clear as it was before .
If I can't get the things straight please let me know lol


Back to the studio , what studio well I mean back to the topic ,
I believe there is an agreement between vendors and admins and whatever you do , everyone on the forums will have to see their threads no matter what . In a sense, it makes sense because they pay for advertising and admins agree this at first .

so your all cleared means your list is cleared. now i get it .

i understand about the sponsors and they can put ads wherever the admin allowed but not creating another thread. there are so many spaces on top and bottom of the page. i'm looking at the michelin man at the moment i'm typing this up now and which is completely fine w/me. just hate those threads .
