Default Puzzled?

I may be talking out of school or just don't have the Forum program figured out but why are there so many vendor ads in both the General and Tech discussions. From what I see the administrators keep a close eye on their task. It's so widespread there must be a reason I don't know about. Enlighten me, please. Jim

The vendors spend a lot of money to be supporting vendors. As you may have seen, there are a few different levels too. The money from these vendors help keep Corvette Forum running and to make it such a great website. And some of the vendors advertise in sections other than the Tech and General generation sub-forums.

So given the support they provide, they have the right to start threads that advertise their products and/or services. But there are some limits to their advertising and the Mods and Admins do keep track.
