Of the 70 topics on the front page, 42 are from vendors - 60%. Holy cow! I'm sure it's similar or worse on other pages.

Just an FYI.

Black Friday deals - can't blame them from wanting to increase sales. Maybe even get a return on their money that they spent to keep this forum running!

I appreciate the vendors financial support of the Forum.
I look at some adds, and scroll right on bye the ones I have no interest in.

No big deal!

No sense worrying about it - perfectly acceptable per forum guidelines. Makes it easy for those looking for some good deals on products for their cars.

I don't mind vendor support, but this section is for C5 discussion, not for vendors or tech, etc. There are specific sections on the forum for those guys (which I visit quite often). It's hard to navigate through all the pollution when you are only interested in coming here for general C5 discussion. JMO of course.
