A sign of the times? Sponsors pay so that we don't have to. BTW, I will take my F150 any day of the week.

VW must have came up 10x in 5 min. Too much....at a certain point becomes a negative ad for the vendor....
My 2 cents.

There's a place for ads, and the thread list is not it. Bad idea!

HDF has followed a typical web forum model.... Build a member base and then sell out. That's cool. We still have a good place to talk,just now with more ads.

Not anything you can do about it.
Seems all the Internet Brands sites are doing it now.
http://www.internetbrands.com/our-brands/automotive/

Those sponsors are the ones paying for the site.

I sent a PM to staff about these ads being able to be turned off for paid subscribers. Hope they come through with that.

Don't bother me any. If I don't want to see it I won't click it.
We have had GM and Dodge but we always come back to Ford. My Wife has a 14 Ford and loves it. I still think I love my Harley more.
