Holy spam!
Now we have another vendor doing it? I really don't understand how IB allows this. At least code it so it doesn't show in the new posts view. Terrible.

And I was wondering if there were any sales this weekend to avoid... guess I found one...
Yeah first thing you see this am is a hundred of these posts...
Been complaining about this issue forever...
There is a point when advertising is just TOO MUCH.
Kinda like the phone & Email spam ya get a thousand times a day......
I know it is cheap to do it...
But if no one bought from these fools they woud have stopped years ago and seen it for a waste and try some other way....
SO this means someone out there is buying their crap (giving them Money)
What happened to hard work?
The internet has changed the world and I am not sure for the better on the entirety of things...
Dayum I am turning into my grandfather - The Grumpy "Get off my LAWN" old man!
AR_spamwerks. They are relentless. I'll never do business with them. It's also incredible that IB allows this behavior. No other forum I'm a member of allows this type of "advertising."
So who do you think should finance these sites/forums that we use?
There are other ways for paying sponsors to advertise on forums such as this, banner ads for example. Don't forget, without us, the contributors, the site would not exist either. I don't get paid for contributing here, do you?

They could make it member donations....
Does not cost much to keep a forum like this up on interent..
I think with domain registration, software and server etc. we pay something like $300-500 per year for another automotive forum I am on.
All depends on server storage used mainly...
Staff members donate their time.
Then no ADS or give in less to adverts and strictly police them into their VENDOR Sections only
Get members to volunteer some pocket/couch change $5 or so and this site is funded for a year easily and you are a NON-PROFIT

I believe IB is in the business of making money. Nothing wrong with that until the user experience here is affected.
