ads around the border of the site... for instance when I opened this thread again there is an ad for the ford fusion at the top and bottom of the page. I understand that advertising brings in money but it just seems wrong to me.

The ad space is sold to google, has been for years. Just seems the other brands are now targeting NICO informed "membership".

It's how websites make money. These people pay the webmaster to put there ad's up on the site. Why GMC is on idk.

GM/Ford and others are targeting car websites via Google ads. Those ads you are seeing are from Google who, along with the sponsors, pay the bill for hosting and bandwidth. Without it there would be no NICO.

What I ***DO*** find interesting is that the ads from Google are somehow sliding past the adblock plus ff extension... And not just here.
