Re: Send a message to site owner

I voted "other, please explain".

I probably wouldn't leave the site because of the spam ads, but I do think they are being posted in all the wrong places, ie: in every individual car forum.

Possible solution: add a designated forum in the "miscellaneous" section with an appropriate heading related to ads, and have them posted only there.

exactly, ignore it if you don't like it and just go about your business. it is what keep this site going besides of course the members. and this thread exists because of freedom of speech.

Sorry, haroldo....I voted to stay, or that "I don't mind the posts".

Rather than double post, see my comments here

Got a private message from David/Georgia Hybrid
Doubt he'll be returning, so if you'd like to keep in contact with him...

Either way, I have enjoyed the time I have had here and hope to see you the other site.
