Those are the rules there....as for the ads anyone with a clue is running IE7Pro which turns them off....but most folks would rather bitch than use a 2 second free to download plug in for IE...and supposedly Firefox comes with the software needed
Amazing...You really need to read the entire thread.
Here are some highlights:
Those are the rules there....
Yes, they are and as previously stated:

They are simply doing the bidding of the site ownership.
and in another post near the top of the thread:
..."it's thier sandbox"
as for the ads anyone with a clue is running IE7Pro which turns them off
- :lmao::lmao:So, please let me get this straight. In your opinion, we're "
clueless?" if we're not usuing IE7Pro?
but most folks would rather bitch than use a 2 second free to download plug in for IE...and supposedly Firefox comes with the software needed
But since not everyone uses firefox, why be subjected to it? Why have to download a program to eliminate them?
Why not just
not have them in the first place?
BTW, here's the answer:$$$$ Cha ching!:rofl1:
And there's nothing wrong with that. It's a business, plain and simple and business thrives on $$$
But the previous ownership was "picky" shall we say. For whatever reasons, and there were many stated throughout the years, he chose not to allow certain links, sponsors, advertisers, avatars, pictures and content, to be aired on the site. The site grew just fine.
Without the financial backing of the
Supporting Members, the
sponsors and
advertisers, the other place my have never had the opportunity to grow like it did
But thanks to those willing to give, the financial support of the sponsors, along with a lot of the original site founders own $$$, they had the tools they needed to grow and eventually become what they were, ultimately allowing Troy to sell if for the amount he did:thumbsup:
And if you might recall, we never had and apparrently never needed, dating sites, e-bay or pop up ads to make that happen. As a matter of fact, they were prohibited by the owners TOS:thumbsup:
Different owners, different rules.
Even though it's been restated many times there that "nothing has changed", the proof is in the pudding so to speak.
As far as to say, even seen avatars that would never have been allowed in the past.
Change...Good or bad?
To quote Buffett...I don't know and I don't care
But you can't realistically deny that things have changed.
It's up to management as to how things change and why. Your job there as mine is here, is to asssist in fulfilling the TOS/policies of the site ownership.
Fortunately, this one happens to be a bit more relaxed that others. If it were otherwise, I'd have the decision to make. Stay as a mod or go. It's up to the individual as to what they support. I happen to like the way we do things here.
However, if people do not agree with it or the way it's "managed" then, as you've said yourself over there, (pp) "don't let the door hit you in the arse on your way out" :lmao:, they are certainly free to look elsewhere.
As I stated, change is inevitable, it's sometimes good and sometimes not so.
It's up to the user to decide:thumbsup:
Have great day...it's beautiful out there, the cars clean (well, for my car anyway) and has a full tank of fuel....I'm stuck here nursing the flu!
Oh Great! One more site I don't have enough time for! :ack2: I'm starting to sound like Rich! :lmao::lmao::lmao:
