do something about what?

its just advertising, no big deal, its not like fte is selling fords or anything.

heck, i don't even own a ford.

and if the ford is so great, then a little advertising from something else shouldn't sway any opinion anyway.

plus...what is the best place to advertise? it sure as heck is not going to be the place where everyone buys your products anyway, it will be the place with the least amount of support.

I do think it's pretty F'n ridiculous myself...

I've heard a couple of heads on here complaining about the Chebbie ads, but I hadn't seen them myself, because I'm a supporter. Contact Ken and ask him what the deal is...

Hey,at least it is a chevy ad.I would hate to think of what it costs webmaster to run this site,but I am pretty sure he appreciates all the help from sponsors that he can get.Just look at it this way,,,Chevy ads are helping to support the best site on the net!


It could be worse,what if it was a riceburner ad!

The google ads rotate.

Having them on FTE keeps the wolves away from the door

Its worth $20 just not to see CHevy ads isnt it?

At the positive side, the rotating ads let me see a Caddy ad about Joan Jett which was pretty cool.

Time to put up the bucks or sit down.. it can't be cheap to keep this great web site going, the band width alone costs, and I imagine that if more people were supporters, ALL of the ads could be a thing of the past.

Just my opinion - David

If you hold the ALT key and press the "print screen" key (top right side of keyboard usually) you copy the active window image on the screen as an object.. You then can paste into WORD as a picture. If you hold CTRL key and "print screen" you get your whole desktop view as a pic ;-)
