Can anyone explain to me why in the last few months we get adds in our PM's. I paid so I didn't have to look at all the ads, and now I get a PM - and I fall for it every frickin' time--- Oh look a new PM, whoo hoo! who could it be from, what's it about --- then it's a dang add. I know advertising keeps this place a float, but come on, in the PM's.

Just kinda chaps my biskits.

I would it has something to do with Internet Brands buying out FTE it was probably in fine print in the contract.

I don't care much for the ads, but I also realize that is part of the means to pay for keeping this site going, I usually go in and just delete them.

It makes me feel like someone really cares enough to send the very best!

Someone loves me... they really love me!!!

Hey 1967 turbo, I notice you aren't a kansas chapter member. If you would like to sign up, pm either me or Fordnut. Hope to see you at a g2g. Nice truck and good gallery.

IIRC, certain advertisers paid for the right to advertise through PM's. They are only supposed to go to certian members that meet the criteria that they are advertising for, ie: not everyone on the site would get a PM advertising deisel performance parts.

It really doesn't bother me. No one here sends me any pms so I know it will be an add in the messages, so I don't open them. But maybe no one sends me any pms because I am not a club member. That must be the reason. So there you have it I'm not bothered.
