But he wouldn't have any of it if it wasn't for the members putting loads of their own hard earned money and putting in many hours of their own time into the vehicles that are posted on MANY different websites including this one. And by banning members over web links it almost seems like he is trying to secure the advertising money that rolls into this site, instead of actually attempting to accommodate the members which has helped make this site what it is.

I would rather believe that people are smart enough to make their own choices of what local forum they would rather post on. And not have to fear a moderator banning them over some pretext of lost revenue.
they weren't banned for posting web links but blantly posting ADVERTISEMENTS for another local forum. it would be like me going on 240atlanta and posting up EVERYONE CHECKOUT IMPORTATLANTA.COM, first off i wouldn't do that b/c i know how hard it is to make a successful forum and i have a mutual respect for those who do the same w/ my site. i've been a member of basically every forum that has poped up in the southeast as some point in time.

it comes down to this if you don't like what IA has to offer leave but don't come on the boards posting some bullshit to pull traffic to your 3rd world website.
