The adverts at the foot of the page/posts seem to have changed - they were some PH links and some shopping/spam links/clickbait but now they ALL seem to be this - Is this intentional?

Thanks

Oh dear.

This is a massive nail in the coffin of the look and feel of this site. Some of the st that turns up in those tombula (or whatever they are) ads looks unbelievably chavvy, and quite out of place at work.

POOR. SHOW. PH.

Targeted adverts for the forum eh?

Just to be clear the moderators have nothing to do with the development of the site nor the advertising policy.

It is Haymarket that run PistonHeads.

Do you have any insight into this one at all? Does anyone from HM ever comment on this type of feedback?

They do, as evidenced in numerous threads in this Website Feedback forum.

The more constructive the discussion, the more likely a reasoned response IMHO ...

*cough*

Begging your pardon HM overlords, if it's not too much trouble we'd certainly appreciate some reasoned feedback on the advertising policy both now and going forward. Thanking you kindly beer

Agreed - only 1 non-PH link...
