Well, it's important to keep in mind that TBN is an advertiser-supported website, which keeps membership and all features free.
For many years, people complained that manufacturers didn't advertise here... now that they do, well, what can I say?
We haven't added any NEW ad sections to the forums in more than a year, and that was the small sponsor ads on the main index. There have always been banner ads here, and quite honestly, I can't think of a single website I visit that doesn't have advertising on it.
We always maintain standards for ad sizes and download times, and if there are ever complaints, we pass them along.
