Too late jackass. Enjoy banned camp. It is one thing to voice your opinion and disagree with things, but you have posted several times in this thread spamming about another site. Quit being an assclown spammer.
For those of you that continue to reply over and over in here with your disagreement, how about letting others reply too? We do not like this Google stuff either, but we personally do not have control over it. All of you that just want to stir up controversy and talk **** about the site that has always been here for you aren't helping things.
How about some constructive comments and feedback, instead of the immature and rude stuff?

That will fix it all drop the ban hammer. That's exactly what I would do. Good job!
Theres only one way that this will go away and thats when all the sponsors pull out. MANY are already doing so or are in the process.
Just dont click the Google stuff and noone gets paid (I think thats how that works).

See! this is the banner for the LS1Tech calendar..every banner/sponsor banner is like this
http://ad.doubleclick.net/click%3Bh=...h.com/calendar
and for those not familiar with the DoubleCRAP, and excerpt from Wiki
DoubleClick is often linked with the controversy over spyware because browser HTTP cookies are set to track users as they travel from website to website and record what commercial advertisements they view and select while browsing. [6]
According to a San Francisco IT consulting group, although DoubleClick does offer an opt-out page, this only affects cookies; DoubleClick continues to track users via IP addresses.[7]
looks like im manually typing in every sponsor instead of clicking

Doubleclick's tools could be used in ways that would mean that it holds personally identifiable information. The company explains that "the personal information collected is used only for the purpose for which it is requested". The information stored on DoubleClick servers belongs to DoubleClick's clients. According to DoubleClick, it generally uses the data only as a "statistical or aggregate information" source. The clients themselves promise contractually not to use information that "DoubleClick could recognize as either sensitive or personally identifiable" to target ads source.

Every time a new page opens my popup blocker goes apeshit. This combined with 2 very obvious photoshopped images in the Tech calendar (take a look at november's shadow on the car and try to line it up with the model for instance, and the model/car ratio seems to be off in several).... Well, it will be interesting to see what happens. It's really too bad, I learned a lot here.
Having the Google ads over there is one thing, but to replace the majority of our sponsors links with it is COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS! I've bought thousands of dollars of mods from sponsors and don't go anywhere other than here when I'm looking for a replacement part or an oem part. Sad to see the great sponsors we have here getting shafted like this.

I was joking. I realize that you were being sarcastic, and to be honest I don't really care what you think. Spamming is a bannable offense, and there's a much bigger issue here. The scumbag spammers taking advantage of it to grow their shitty site are people that deserve to be banned.
IB doesnt give a rats *** about what "we" think. It was already proven. I doubt Ill ever come back here... maybe once a month. Im sick of all the 100 clicks I get when every page opens. I cant even listen to my music.
Its sad to see what used to be a very good site go right down the *******.

why would they?
they apparently dont care, because this thread was started approx. this time yesterday and i know they have caught wind of it. w/ over 300+ replies in less than 24 hrs.
it would be good if they were readilly available to speak to. or at least let them be at the vendors disposal for a few hrs.
