Default Nitto Tires???
Help me out here. Why does Nitto tire get to run an ad in the middle (well, actually, 1 down from the top) of the regular forum posts? Do they just pay a bunch of dollars, or do they have embarassing pictures of the powers that be?
I find this a gross insult to the members, and, for that reason alone, would never buy a Nitto tire (whatever that is).

This is funny -- apparently by posting a thread with a similar title, I made the original disappear. Good to know.

Their back... Poltergeist

A poltergeist is a paranormal phenomenon which consists of events alluding to the manifestation of an imperceptible entity. Such manifestation typically includes inanimate objects moving or being thrown about.

Let me see here, a nit is what nitpickers pick. So a nitto sounds like a real small nit, something no one would care about or even consider!

it's an ad . . .and along with other vendor/sponsor programs, it's how members enjoy the forum without expense.

A member endorsement is always better than an ad.

I understand, I just wonder how they get the prominent placement. Others do not.

I'm guessing that something about your post breaks a forum rule? I'm not sure.

Ok, thanks for the info. You are probably right about the rule, just interested. It was fun, but I guess I better stop posting about this.
