People need to remember that:
1.) This is a private site owned by one person. The mods are volunteers doing our best to keep the site along our boss's ideas.
2.) It is Iceshanty.com the .com means its a business and thus like any other business, it is out to make money, especially through sponsorship
3.) If you owned a business, would you want people advertising their business for free? Yes we talk about different products but when someone starts pushing their product over and over, that's free advertising.
4.) Again, Iceshanty.com is
Free to our members because of our
Paid sponsors! (Thanks guys

)
5.) If you don't like the way Iceshanty.com is run, you have every right to not visit it. There are other sites out there(though not as good).
Thank you for your time.
