Nothing wrong with it in my mind...its a public forum that relies on advertisements. Atleast it is an American manufacturer.

Like senators, you pay them enough, they will vote in your favor.
Haven't you seen Direct TV advertising on cable?
Everything got a price my friend.

If it was not for the adds there would be no forum.

doesn't bother me at all. If Ford wants to financially support CF then that's great for me. My last new car (2009) was a Ford and there is a good chance my next one will be too.

No ads here.
CF is owned and operated by Internet Brands (with hundreds of other forums).
They sell ads to generate revenue, same as any other business.

If you don't want to see the ads, they make software to block them.

Fine w/me! Competition (to GM) is what makes the R&D $$ flow!! Now if GM could just get back to another all out race motor for Corvette again...

First of all....NOT C4 related
secondly IB (Internet Brands) the owner of the forum also runs about 100 other forums most of which are automotive related...they can place whatever ads they want on here.
