Default Banner ads driving me nuts

Ok before I get lectured, I know times are tough and you have to take every opportunity to keep things going, but the Chevy banner ads are really kinda counterproductive to the site. I visit w/o logging in (or even if I log in) and I see how Chevy Silverado beat Dodge Ram in a head-to-head and then next ad is yet another Chevy ad, don't you guys think visitors to the site will wonder what's up? I wish we (forum as a whole) could get Dodge to actually sponsor this site. No, I don't have any major problems with Chevy (except that they are not Dodge ), but you don't their forums advertising Dodge of Ford. I know it's kinda trivial, but I can't be the only one wondering about this, can I?

Not a bash, I am bored and the ad's just get on my nerves.

Never saw it only cause I run firefox and my only forum I go to is this one(sometimes ram too but rarely) its saved into my browser so all I have to do is type do and dodge forum 2nd gen dak comes up and I click on it. It is kinda stupid but who cares that just means chevy has to pay this site to advertise and get the word around about them being out there cause everyone has forgotten about them.

general motors is actually pronounced government motors nowadays. so technically all of us are probably paying for that ad...

Use adblock addon for firefox if you use mozilla... it gets rid of all of them, everything loads faster. I use it, always have been since firefox came out, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, and the other peices of crap dont compair to the fox.

Upgrade to firefox today for FREE!

I swear they didnt pay me to say that.

lol user, Im gonna have to get that addon cause I just dont like the ads at all. Tho I see powells point bout the brands. I get that they pay and its smart for them to "change our minds" with there awesome banners....

I heard GM declared bankruptcy anyways so maybe its part in partial to these ads
