OK, I did a quick search and couldn't find anything about these "sponsored posts" that have showed up in nearly every thread recently. Am I correct in assuming that these are ads to somehow assist in the cost of running the board? I don't mean to sound ungrateful or misinformed, but isn't that what my donation and the continued presence of that little blue and white icon in the upper right corner of my screen are for? Again, I don't mean to sound abrasive, I am just a little confused.
