bobcanuck Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Is it just me (cranky old fart), or do the ads from (a particular broker) commercial resellers detract from the more or less amateur/hobbyist intent of these forums? If the advertisement is from a business, then it should be in the proper category! My 2cts ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capngrog Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I don't even notice the ads. Not very observant, Grog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryB Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 If the ads help keep the site running, then they are good. I don't find they detract from the overall enjoyment of the site. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amphicar BUYER Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Just like on TV, the ads go unnoticed by me. They are here to help pay for the "here" to be here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe in Canada Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I see people signup for the free advertising by their one posting fine. But if it is a non AACA member and using this site as a business resource only a different story. But then again if they are also active contributors to non commercial topics as well then welcome.

MCHinson Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 bobcanuck, I am relatively sure I know what you are talking about. That particular advertiser has had quite a few posts deleted for being in the wrong forum. Those ads that are posted for a particular car in that particular forum (auch as a Model A Ford for sale in the Model A Forum) have been left, but he has been instructed that he has to place all future ads in the Commercial Ads Forum. If I missed any that are in the wrong forum, send me a PM to let me know about them and I will be happy to delete some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 If you mean the banner ads, it is a waste of digits on me, electrons better spent elsewhere; where, I don't know. I can't remember the last thing I bought from advertising influence. I do get a lot of entertainment from TV ads. Most recently I have been shaking my head at that poor little mousy guy in the Tru Car ads. The balding guy with jacket sleeves too long. I always picture him at the bottom of the hierarchy of a dog pack. And darn it, he's got that app on his phone and he's not getting screwed again. Ads are fun. My kids say it doesn't take much to entertain me. Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
