Whats the go with the gay orange backgrounds and advertising all over the log in area on the forum?
Getting VERY commercialized here?

The only orange part of the forums is the default Vbulletin background colour when there's a forum announcement? Once you've viewed them they disappear, so what's the big deal?
As for the banner adverts making us commercialized, the banners have been around for a long long time (I'm talking years) and only display information from the sponsors that help pay for the running of the forum. It's not like they're advertising things that have nothing to do with the forum. Most larger forums run banner adverts to pay for their costs, so it's hardly a major problem. If you don't want to see them, simply run an ad blocker in your browser.

And by blocking banners on the site you only weaken the ability for us to provide the forums for FREE to users .... The money to run the site has to come from somewhere..

Isn't that what paid advertisers aka gm and other sponsors are for
Why how much does an unlimited managed server cost $400mth or something

Why would sponsor sponsor if they don't get visibility/exposure via their banners?? :)
Not using a managed server .. the forum is run on a dedicated high capacity high bandwidth server .. the leasing costs are by far not the only costs, I'm not going to get into it as this has been discussed ad nauseum..
