Totally agree. Most ad heavy site of any I've ever seen. Very annoying.

Yeah, it's getting pretty bad. What can we do though?? Not use the site? or bump every non-ad thread over and over until the vendor threads are out of the top pages??

I can tell you what I'm inclined to do, and that is to bypass/ignore vendors who post in the General/etc threads and not in the Vendor section. I'm not against free enterprise and I fully appreciate the support that the paying vendors provide. In fact, I applaud them for their support

Having said that, if I am inclined to want to purchase components, I prefer to harvest that information from where all vendors are playing, in a dedicated place for vendor sales only.

So, as a matter of principle, and perhaps vendors will heed our frustration, I bypass vendors who post in non-Vendor forums.

Default No Vendor Posts for Adds

I agree...i also think they should not post in the FS section, but have a separate vendor only section where they can post their specials.

No change.
Very annoying.
I use this forum less and less.
