If site funding is an issue, surely having an option for people to contribute to the running might be a better option, since how santa and the easter bunny arent actually real, theyre definately not going to be of any help on this matter!
The main bit that annoys me is that the adverts cover the ends of some posts, the original post in the marzocchi extraction tool for example, is partly behind the advert and therefore unreadable (this is on my laptop screen btw) and i refreshed the page a few times to see if this was just a loading issue, and each time the advert for steroids with the muscly old guy came up, i find that a little distasteful myself and not what i want to be looking at when i come on a site for bikes!
