Whats uP with the AddZZZ?

[alphalanos]

Now there is an AD on the first post of each thread? What next?

Well , if it helps keep AF free for those members that don't want premium status. I am all for a few ads here and there.

man this is like the 10th post about these ads. The ads are whats keeping this site free.

There are plenty of ads already. Now they're in the posts, and personally I despise Ford due to a terrible experience. Guess I can't complain about a free service, so guess I'll be leaving. Ads as they were are fine, but putting them inside the first post is extremely annoying and rude. Sorry, I've had it this time w/AF.

gotta draw the line somewhere when it comes to the placement of the ads.

If one ad, in possibly a work in progress placement which probably wouldn't be up for more than a month anyway is enough to make you call it quits on AF. You either have run out of things to complain about or have been looking for a reason to leave for a while. Either way, sorry to see you go and ads need to be a part of AF. A site the size of AF requires a server that doesn't come cheap.

I enjoy AF enough to block out the occasional ad, even when they are not my brand of choice .

I could say something about Ford and A/F that would get me instantly banned, but forget it. I drew the line, and I will not allow a Ford ad in my posts. Do I need to start removing my posts? I will if that's what it takes.

WOW!!! this is getting pretty interesting lol I can understand not liking a car company, but to hate them so much to get to the point where your going to leave a website.....

[MidMazar]

HuH?
Me no like.

[ZoomZoomMX-5]

It's A/F's way of saying "we don't want you here unless you pay". Premium members, who are supposed to see the site ad-free, are even seeing the ads. How special.

The advertising apologists have said nothing that makes me think that this is anything but a crassly obnoxious way to treat people. I will start to remove all of my threads if I continue to see Ford advertisements in my posts. I am dead serious about this, I refuse to have my name associated with and advertising for that vile company.

Yea this is pissing me off, maybe a strike?
Tell 'em were gonna go to
scaleautomag.com!

[blubaja]

I see no ads as of right now. Are there none on right now? Or is it me? I don't think I have ever seen them on my computer, but I do remember seeing them at Chad's computer.

[suicidehummer]

There's Ford ads everyware, maybe you have
some blocker or something.

[bhop73]

Well, I don't like the ads either, but I do realize that running a site this size costs a lot of money, and if it takes ads to keep this site around (which IMO is one of the best car model boards around) then I can live with it.

[freakray]

Ads = free AF

No ADs = pay for AF...

So why the heck are the paying members seeing the frigging annoying Ford ads?
