Default Other S2000 forum sites

All,

With the transition ongoing as a result of IB's ownership, I am beginning to find this site less and less palatable. The "Curated Content" is beyond absurd, the fact that they won't let you turn off "Related Topics" at the bottom of long threads in the mobile version are but two of the many irritants.

Any suggestions for a S2000 forum not owned by a vulture capitalist trying to maximize "shareholder value" by monetizing the forum participants?

Thanks in advance.

You might try the FaceBook version of both this site and S2KCA. That might be a bit easier to deal with.

Ok. Doesn't seem like a lot of participation from what I can see without paying the $30. I've actually been a member since I got Jessica and didn't see the value when they changed it primarily to a pay site due the slow activity.

Thanks.

I must be stupid but I've no idea what you are talking about. Is that just because I pay the small dues each year?

Read this carefully: https://www.internetbrandsauto.com/l..._Media_Kit.pdf

Your input is being carefully marketed and sold to the highest bidder by KKR et al.

So you are paying them to market (sell) your information....

Sweet.

I don't worry about that sort of thing. If the site is as good as they claim then they know we do not buy anything online to speak of except things for our animals and those sites already send us daily ads.
