I just hope this doesn't mean that one day, we will be forced to watch a commercial from the forum sponsor every time we click on a thread.

I know ATS is a for profit venture but, isn't this rubbing the commercialism into our faces?
How long before ATS starts feeling the heat to conform to the whims of its sponsors for editorial decisions?
The next new ATS graphic: This thread/ post pulled because it was considered offensive by our sponsors.
Control is control, whether it comes from the government or a corporation and it is often abused. I hope ATS isn't opening itself up to untoward control by allowing companies to claim sponsorship of certain forums like this.

I'm not an ATS celebrity any more; the new WATS score standards dumped me WAY off of the top 50 list.
