Good for Mighty for finally making some money off this forum.

Just don't allow those annoying POP-UP adds!

Not sure why you would be so against me making any money on the website, but when it comes down to it I won't even be close to coming out on top from what this site has cost since it started.

Since this site will actually be bringing in some money now, you will all have the benefit of me being more involved and updating and adding new features on a regular basis. I'm not going to monetize the site without giving you guys something back for it.

Nothing against site owner making some $ - but if youu are not clicking on the ads and do not want to see the Google ads:
If you are using IE - go to "Tools", IE Options, Security, Restricted sites, Sites and just enter *.googlesyndication.com in the add box and click "add".
Refresh the page.....no more adds.

Sorry, Silver, but I can't throw a blade of grass around here without hitting another Mustang. Old ones, new ones, striped ones, rusty ones, one's in farmer's field with blades of grass growing between the bumpers and each & every owner of one thinks they are the fastest things on the face of the planet.
And yes, I've owned 2: a '65 & a '66. The 65 rusted out so badly under the driver's floor I could stick my foot out of it & use it as an auxiliary brake, if needed. The '66 got whacked by a Buick driving through a red light when I still lived in Beertown.
So, when I see a Mustang (& I frankly don't care if it can go 0-60 in 2.0 seconds) I just yawn & continue doing whatever the heck I'm doing.

Just so everyone knows, if you buy any sort of sponsorship you won't see the ads anymore.

And here I thought this Forum was the one respite from a computer screen grown smaller and smaller by advertising.

I suppose I must simply buy a bigger monitor.

Also new members can't join because the verification picture (jumbled letters) is not visible.

Strickly a request but I would like to make a motion that you allow FP or V-Man
(or other trusted individual/s) to Admin the site in your absence.
