Why did LS1Tech even get sold? Was sponsors money not enough to keep it afloat? If it was about making more profit, I think that is kind of lame... like I said earlier...For car people, by car people!

even with the google crap blocked, i still see the PAYING sponsor ads, even if its only like 5

Done. Everyone add on. It's a way for us to show everyone who won't / hasn't read this thread our sentiments.

Your #3. Even if you guys don't want to number them everyone should put some sort of sentiment in there. I'm glad to see people are doing this.

That is one of the best things I have read all night.

Thsi new Internet Brand thing Suck s for the Sponsors in a big way. It hurts sales. It limits exposure. Several of us (Sponsors) are not happy. IB is about making $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Nothing else. Thsi is the futrue of LS1Tech.

Damn this does suck. I guess it goes back to saying everyone has a price and people get greedy, its the way it is...sadly.

The traffic this site gets is unreal and they are obviously taking advantage of that fact.
