Infolinks (IL) is what has quelled this site for me.
For me, and I think others, I would come here during lunch every-single-day from my work PC which is a browser which cannot block IL and a device which is prevented from downloading another browser. Having to fight the screen being moved, to force ads into my face, is a complete detractor from visiting. Cannot even get logged in without having to contend with IL, let alone try to browse a thread and see what's it about.
Many don't want to have another browser on their device just so they can navigatge this site: I for one did not. Bit this site is still a great source of info, so I gave in and loaded a recommended one on my personal device which blocks IL.
IL impeeds the user experience immensely. It eventually drove me to frequent FBBO- a forum I never surfed. Now, it's my go-to and here is secondary.

Adblocker works wonders I’m telling you.

This trend has been going on for several years, seen it on a number of forums. Board users are "aging out" or flowing over to Facebook groups which I will never use.

I sure learned a valuable lesson .. I will never buy or sell on here again ... About a month ago I placed an ad looking for a crank in the parts wanted section a person answered stating his " friend " had the part I needed and gave me the friends email ... a deal was made I sent $720 and turns out it was a scam and I am out the $$$ of course the person answering the ad deleted the account right afterwards. So my activity is limited now. Its a shame as I always had good results here but $720 is a lot of money to me ... be careful folks !!! scammers are everywhere!

Why does any car site such as this need a "political" forum? I've never bothered with the political forum on this site and I enjoy that. But I'm also a member of FBBO and there is more activity in the political forum than any other. And there are two disturbing things about that ... 1) those with the most posts are there ONLY for the politics. If you do a bit of searching you quickly see that they don't contribute to any of the car-related topics at all and 2) there is no "discussion", just bitching and name calling. Tom wanted it. His board, his rules.

Because it gets a lot of clicks / looks , which in turn = $$ , sure made me look at some members in a different light , pretty sad how they act
