I'm sure the owners are trying different ads to optimize their ad revenue. Not a big deal.
Yup, taking you to a site where you have to flip through 37 pages to see 15 pictures. Garbage.pretty soon we'll have those annoying eye catching photos at the bottom of the page like on texas gun trader and most every other site.
Another site I belong to has an annual fund drive.
Admin publishes a budget dollar amount for the year and open up for donations for a couple weeks.
There are a few perks that go along with it, but mostly it makes it a user driven site and
keeps the rolling ads off the page.
Enough funding is raised from the users that the "annual" drive is usually every 2 or 3 years.
I bet a similar drive here could yield $3K annually.
Here, I like the collapsible forum sponsor menu.
There is a link at the top, just under the banner, for "Site Supporter".
If I become a site supporter, does the ad banner go away for me?
I second this question !

It's funny how people are all supportive of capitalism...but get on a forum and people expect it to be run as a Communist enterprise or non-profit...
