Well that’s bloody odd.
Somehow perceived as advertising?
It was explicitly advertising: it was a thread sponsored by Bamford Rose.Somehow perceived as advertising?
They had rights to have their name in the thread title and the thread 'stickied' at the head of the forum, amongst other benefits,

May have been sponsored by BR But it was incredibly beneficial for their expert tips, fixes and information, real blinkered view / shame its been pulled - It actually helped owners and was for me the primary reason for reading threads in this group IMHOThey had rights to have their name in the thread title and the thread 'stickied' at the head of the forum, amongst other benefits,

Completely agree with you but if it WAS advertising or a sponsored link so if it is no longer beneficial in financial terms for PH (or Bamford Rose), then I'm afraid there's a reason behind them pulling the plug.
The unfortunate thing about this is, people turn to PH to gain some knowledge of which BR were willing to provide (politics aside). Now we are left with more hearsay 'a mate of mine had one and,,,,' etc. Quality knowledge is diluted and I've seen it before on years of TVR forums (which was why PH was created in the first instance) where the experienced either got shut down or packed up and went because of the lesser educated on such matters spouting off being arguementative. It's akin to burning books. OK, not quite so dramatic, but hopefully get my drift. 
This link may get removed but there is a backup of the thread on the internet time machine, I don't know how much of it is there though:

I have always thought that this forum was fairly void of hearsay and I hope that continues.BR are still in business and no doubt will get referrals from here so I hope Mike continues to reciprocate and share his knowledge so owners are better informed. I am not into the politics, and agree with your point, we could do with more specialists contributing imo.
