One of my favorite forums was recently sold to the harbinger of internet forum death, Vertical Scope. A company notorious for purchasing motorsports internet forums, changing them to an awful ad-centric software, then loading them up with ads, leading to their downfall.

Thanks for keeping this an enthusiast owned and operated forum Everett. Please don't ever sell out to something awful like VS.

This has motivated me to donate. I encourage others to do this as well.

Thank you.

If you want, PM me the other site, I'd be interested to see how ad-crazy it is as I've seen some other Forums that get annoying and they are usually owned by larger companies.

I'd say post the link here but you probably don't want to drive traffic there for the reasons you mentioned
