This must be a brand new feature on this board. I've seen this type of imbedded advertising on other forums in the past. Hopefully it doesn't get so bad that the first half of the page is filled with advertising posing as threads.

Yes. That could really be the death of this board.

I've squawked it. Hopefully it's remedied shortly.

I always thought the sponsored post are only there because the owners of the forum sell the space.

Would you rather just pay an annual fee for this website?

Not a good argument. They haven't needed them to this point.

Just clicked one.
My response - ***? Nothing at all to do with us. Great, we have SPAM! Ignore them all.

This spam clickbait is annoying as hell. It's already turned into a billboard for regionals flashing all over the page, and starting a few weeks ago there is these stupid PSA pop up ads that block the page when I log in. Now these spam sponsored posts are imbedded in the forum trying to trick you into clicking on it?
