Recent eBay Ads in the Marketplace - An Explanation

[Jonathan]

I think they are in because they earn money ?

They don't - the eBay listings are just an automated search, so the site does not earn from them.

If thats so why make it hard for us?

What was that about not earning money?

you know there must be a catch though jonathan or lee would have taken them down when the general feelings where expressed
(i can see lots of ways this can be abused to suit the few at the expense of the many)

at what point does the forum become useless as the adverts force mainstream users away ?

its getting close for me, the forum is still usable but i feel used and abused when i do so... im torn on the principle of it
its the general users that draw the traffic
i feel treated like a commodity and then im asked to be thankfull :(
not happy

now i see, it was pretty obvious there was somthing.
Lee, you said "iv given with three hands and only taken with one"
you will have to forgive me for not quite agreeing with you there

I should have said 'as far as I know Lee doesn't earn anything from the eBay adverts.'

No you should have kept for your mouth shut untill you knew for sure.!! . . . But to be honest can't believe you where so nieve to think he didn't it was obvious from his previous comments.!!

Personally I haven't got a problem with Lee making money from the site, good luck to him.!. . But it is starting to get ridiculous the amount and piss's me off that they are taking over the recent activity section.!!

Eventually people get to the point they start clicking else where.!! . . . . It's just a matter of where folks point lies.?? . . . Must admit this last couple of weeks I've found my self back over on the Cnczone more than I have in previous months.!!

It doesn't compare really mark it's huge with some much info it can/does become overwelming esp to new folks. Thats why they come over here and find it easier and more pleasant, even when numb nuts and I are butting heads. There's so meny different types of people each with there own view point that head butting is the norm.!!
Get past that and the bullshit and it's a wealth of information and you can bet your last quid it's been done or asked.?

thats why its a dilema, i like this clan here, this is where i got my help and iv done my share of trying to pay that back here (and i like metric)
each time i log on now the ebay adds are a constant reminder that to one member something Supersedes the community wellfare
this is nothing like the forum i joined a couple of years ago

it may make me sound like a dick but i cant shake it, lots of us have invested energy into this forum, its being squandered
