This new advertising link thingy - AdictedBassTard - 05-31-2006
[size 1]Sorry folks but I have to protest about this new advertising link policy.
I logged on to the board tonight to show my wife our posting and your esteemed input, only to find the word [/size][url "http://www.bigfishtackle.com/cgi-bin/gforum/gforum.cgi?post=264643;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#"][green][size 1]FISHING[/size][/green][/url][size 1] in [#ff4040]MY[/#ff4040] post highlighted and underscored. Upon clicking on this text we were directed to some advertisement.
I am not in the least happy with this new and sudden change.
The idea of someone being able to advertise any product, affiliation, club or ideal by means of a link without consent to any of the words I have typed, submitted and am responsible for is to say the least, disturbing to me .
If BFT is that desperate for cash, I would be more than happy to contribute money to thid great and informative site, as are many other members to be sure.
This new feature on BFT will surely keep me away from posting here.
Not a good addition at all!
