Been away for a while, what's with all the ads?

[Madison Sully]

So I have been away for a few months, mostly out riding.
Just came back yesterday for a bit, and now again today, to check things out.
Mostly interested in anything anyone knows about the possible introduction of the X-ADV here in the US.

But I also notice a *Hellacious* amount of advertisements, not only in general but embedded within posts.
What's up with that?
It's seriously annoying, and at this rate really does diminish any interest I have in hanging out here.

A 'free' forum is not exactly free. The ads pay for it (hopefully). You can always upgrade for a small amount to get rid of the ads.
It seems only fair to me. Commercial TV is free, but I rarely watch it. Netflix and others charge a fee but I enjoy it much more.
Thanks for the impetus. I just now upgraded my Tapatalk subscription.

Second Adblocker plus. I see no ads - so much better!
