not like we're a large consumer group with extra 
money to spend. In fact, I would venture to say 
that any extra money we have is going toward 
cels 
and not anything advertised by an annoying 
popup.  There are other cel forums that do not 
have these problems which also are not mainly 
for sale and flame threads."

It's not like he's a large money-making company 
who has to offer people candy so he sells his 
products. 
His extra money goes into maintaininig Animanga 
and Cels.org---
See, you can apply the exact same points to the 
other side of the conflict.
You are right though, I never encountered so 
many (mostly pointless) flame threads (not only 
against me) on ANY other forum.
