Re: Site Commercialization
I'm somewhat surprised that mightyjlr finally gave in to the advertisers.....I guess it's the economy
I liked the fact that his site was clean of clutter for so long....Oh well, but I already miss the random pics on the front page........
I take that last comment back, pics are back up.......Thanks mightyjlr

Re: Site Commercialization
Don't like the adds but I do like free enterprise and it is his toy.
Kind of contradictory, I like it, I don't like it, yes, no oh dang it never mind....
My name is paulw and I can't help it I didn't approve those messages!
(I know no one gives a crap but there I've said it anyway)

Re: Site Commercialization
Makes no difference to me - I'm pretty immune to ads anyway and totally ignore them on the web, in magazines, etc. I don't even watch TV shows when they're broadcast because once a commercial comes on, I'm gone. Everything I watch is digitally recorded and commercials are essentially zapped out. I know what I want to buy and when I want to buy it. Maybe I was in direct response marketing too long, but it's hard to get something to catch my eye.
Honestly, not until reading this thread did it even occur to me that this change had taken place.

As to the site ads, eh......no big deal. We deal with this every day everywhere. If he can score a few bucks to help offset the cost of running the servers then it's a non-issue. As long as I don't see Mustang ads appearing I'm fine with it.
