Post Release

i don't get it? it's like a spam admin or something? i don't get why they posted a sticky in each section and the dedicated a section to themself...

if this is a preferred vendor then why not just leave it in the preferred vendor section?

not to bitch, but i know i don't wanna see adds "stickied" to sections when i go into them, the reason why i signed up for the VIP membership was to:

1. support AW and previous owner's interests in this forum as a friend.

2. not to see ads

if i want to check out some new products and vendors, i'll happily check out the preffered vendors section and contribute.

and if there is a dedicated section to the post release... shouldn't it be grouped with "shop talk" forum, instead of "off-topic"?

I'm confused as to what you're even talking about Ken...

This is an advertising platform that is a 3rd party plugin, we do not have fine grained controls over it like we do with the other forms of advertising. However, it usually only runs for 2 weeks and after all, it is a simple sticky thread that can be easily ignored.

Hope this helps.

i understand that it's only a sticky thread, but i thought the purpose of the "VIP membership" was not to be bothered by ads

it's like the spam gets stickied into the threads of every section, so not only do you see it in the teg section, but the rsx section, etc, etc.... it's just clutter , so every 2 weeks these sections are going to get stickies of advertising? so after 8 weeks, we'll have 4 more stickies? after a year, 6? it just sounds like clutter spam???

Unfortunately there is just no way for me to turn it off for certain usergroups. Its just not possible.

This ad is going to be run for 2 weeks... then the sticky will come down and go away. There will be future ones, but not always back to back... we can go weeks without one, etc.

Unfortunately, just going to be something we will have to learn to live with.
