Ads on the left side???
I was wondering if you got any $ or free advertising by putting those ads here? I mean its not like they are the cheapest places for parts and I'am 100% sure none of us uses those links. So do they benefit the site in any way?

Yeah, they keep this site open for free. Just think of the operating costs involved. If not for the adds, there might be a membership fee involved. Which might not be a bad thing
Just think of how many trolls would be "trolling" if they had to pay to "troll"

I don’t see anything wrong with them. As long as we don’t start having pop-ups or what ever you call them then I think it’s fine. They don’t seem to take up any space, everything is still the same size as far as the threads go so it’s not like they are taking up prior used space.
Though it’s none of my business I wonder just how much it does cost to keep this site going. I would imagine it is NOT cheap or some little side project. This is a very professional site compared to others I have seen and very easy to get around so I have no problems with the ads.
Like the other fine gentlemen stated this could turn into a pay site so any outside help makes it just that much better…

screwyou, thats not the one I was referring to. 
They are random and sometimes I see ford parts for sale or something close to that so I assume money was being made there but wanted to be sure. I dont mind if they are there I was just wondering if money was made because advertising isnt free

I also heard "thru the grapevine" that the high wages that are being paid to the moderators, that was the only way the webmaster could kepp them, without making this a pay-per-view site
