why no ads?

[Distance]

There are now two pages of reasons why vBulletin doesn't have adverts, don't you get it ?

Think about this if you owned vBulletin, in fact any site, if the business was going well and profits were up why on earth would you want to put adverts on your forums ? Users don't appreciate them, unless moderated competitor software will advertise and even if they did share the earnings with coders and staff, the amount you would receive once split wouldn't be worth the trouble.

I don't see what is funny about a well established company don't want to earn tuppence by degrading the look of the website, it's not anti-marketing, it's for the benefit of the site and it's users.

However I do agree with there being a link to the vBulletin.com website.
