Ads within posts

Oh yea - great selling point:

Look potential buyers, we're p'ssing off all your potential forum members and making this site less attractive to you all the time! Maybe we better settle for a lower price - how does £20 sound? No? ok how about $20? Still too much? Oh sh!t I think we screwed up big time this time!

They would be better off selling the domain and letting someone start again, the site and forum as it is is a dead dog.

P.s. Ahem, "what ads"

Let's see if this works!

Nope, it doesn't seem to like that experiment!

Away and have a look at the thread on the Genealogy forum started by One of the Few re his family tree. Notice how certain words are shown as 'links' - as if OOTF has made them. Not soooooo, it's the site that does it, and it takes you off to other adverts...

Sleekit, eh?
