Yes they pay to keep the site going but I have seen what can happen when the advertisement on a forum gets carried away. It makes it almost unusable with load times from the sheer number of ads and pop ups in the middle of your posts.
Report it if it gets too bad and somebody will deal with it.
They have a very clear set of rules to follow and I know the Mods (at least Ichi) try to stay on top of them but I am sure it is like herding cats.

Every other post seems to be tcoat so this forum is nothing but ads and tcoat. I think this forum is totaled and has crickets.

Our boss isn't a fan of ads. That's why for almost 2yrs, we didn't have ad thingy on the front of the forum.

Also in General threads having "Hi we're *insert a vender*" thread, I'll keep it for a day and move it to "Announcement/giveaway* section.

I think he is referring to the vendor threads trying to sell various products. It seems like a lot since they bump all their threads at one time.

They shouldn't be bumping technical section of the forum. They only allow to bump commercial classified section.

If you see it, report it, we'll try to take care of it
