Seems like the most important thing you do not understand is that OUR main focus is not advertising, there are other sites for that.
Our TOS and membership status have not changed in years the membership system and the advertising limits have been in place since 01-21-2009 (That's over 3 years), you joined on 05-31-2011 (A little over a year ago) so please explain to me how things have changed and you do not get as many ads as you used to?you dont get so many free ads a year like you used to
As for the flawed rep system I beg to differ, way back when I first joined this forum, reputation was a lot harder to earn, with the new system members acquire reputation points faster then they ever had before as the thanks are now directly linked to the reputation.Thats a flawed system because half the people dont know how to use the rep system and dont give rep.
