Last month it was Ford. If you are gonna hate try to at least be informed.

If the ad were in the "Sticky" section, would your panties still be in a bunch?

Don't mind the posts, do not open them. It is those damn caddy and vow pop ups on the iPad that make me mad.

I see them but I ignore them, just like any commercial.

It's not GM, it's Internet Brands, the company that owns this website. Never forget that they exist to make money; this forum ain't about us.

No one 'forced' me, man. And I'm not against advertising. And there's ads all over this site already.
But this was a thread, posted by a non motorcycle, non H-D advertiser.

I know it's their playpen, but come on now......

The members' threads complaining about the new advertising threads in a couple other sub forums have been closed. Why is that? Will this one be closed too? I guess the owners don't have to listen to the members, but they wouldn't actually tell us to shut up by closing our discussion would they?

Ah, thanks for clearing that up. I guess these distractive and unwanted spam adds are ok, as long as they don't discriminate against one particular brand.....Jeeez.
