RE: Forum Software Upgrade

While I realize these sites are not free to operate, I find the advertising on CruiserForum to be annoying. Just now Smokey the Bear is the most prominent thing on the CF home page.

How is that related to boating?

The clean look of this forum and the focus on our discussions is a real positive. Everywhere in life now we see advertising and logos. When I go boating I am able to see the natural world without advertising.

Some websites have subscriptions where after you pay, you don't see the adds.

If the forum starts restricting and editing posts so as to not offend advertisers, I think folks here would loose interest. If my posts are edited to appease a advertiser, I'm gone!
