The (new???) leading thread about the cast of the Brady Bunch or "dark days" on the set of Everybody Loves Raymond.

They were not there before yesterday.

Maybe just showing for me???

"sponsored content"

Was never on the "normal thread" page before.

Yeah, I don't have to read or click it.

Sponsored content helps keep the doors open. It's one of the necessary evils of keeping the website free. I find some of the content valuable, so I'm willing to put up with minor annoyances.

Understand and appreciate that but,

Why are they showing up all the sudden under "normal thread"?

Can't respond, (not secure?)
Enjoy any forums that are based on my favorite motorcycle.
Just don't like being forced (feels like) to have the ads pop up.
Like the 20 tele-marketing calls coming in every day.

If they pay the bills, then I should shut up. If members are the important thing. Don't think ANY want to see this?

Thanks
JM

For the dozens of times I've seen "not Harley related" and gets moved, shouldn't Mazda sales at least be in Off Topic?
