Thread: Why

Gewber I need more of a hint to know what you are talking about.

But, I'm gonna guess you are looking at an old thread that happens to be about interstate batteries. What the site has set up is, if a thread is 3 days old (I think), essentially inactive, it automatically adds a link ad to relevant words. It's a google adsense thing I set up to take advantage of "lurkers" that just surf the site for information. It's how I pay the bills. And believe me, this year I need all the help I can get. Just be happy those links are not in active threads. In active threads it's my belief they would be a pain, and distracting. So it's just a way to get a few more pennies to help run the site.

Don't go passing a hat around! Wifey still has a full time job. There's plenty more needy people out there than me. I'm just worried wifey's gonna make me go find a job! Go buy something from the Crappie.com store, that'll help me, and it'll help get the word out about the site. That's all I want, the site to continue to grow.
