We respect Mike, he's done soo much R & D for our community it's not even funny....
......But this Ekool guy shows up, buys the forum and right away starts with the ads n sh!t, the forum looks like a rice forum to me now.....Won't be long before we start to see dumb ass threads like " My friend wants to know if you can do a 2JZ swap in a NX2000, need parts list " .....ugh even the thought turns my stomach...
Well one of the things is that a well run forum costs money and to raise money, you need to have ads, they are a nesseary evil. How they are placed is another thing and the content provided has to make the ads worthwhile.
Site ownership is a two way street. The owners have to give but the users have to put up with what it takes to monitize the site to a degree.
