This is the greatest way to destroy a popular forum. Once a forum gets overrun by ads, people (especially regulars) get too frustrated with dealing with the interruptions and they stop frequenting the forum.

Over on a Homesteading Forum where I first learned about the adds , folks are complaining that there getting adds looking for Donation's from HSUS . LOL

I'm sure we'd all enjoy the chuckle with you, except that most of us don't know what HSUS is.

Humane Society United States
They are a Anti Hunting Group that's main objective is to stop all hunting, fishing, trapping and keeping of agricultural animals . What's worst about them is that most people don't realize what they stand for and only think they help shelter animals. They Run No Shelters and there Money goes for Salary's and add's
Please educate your friends and family that the HSUS is not affiliated with any local shelters and are not friends of anyone who does the above activities.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humane_..._United_States
