Ad density on FABO

I mean no disrespect when saying this, as I consider myself a mid grade hot rodder. I went gold maybe two hours of looking at site. I am surprised at the number of veteran members on here that aren't gold. I understand if you are a member of multiple sites, but if you are an Abody owner and I see you on here all the f'n time......why wouldn't you be gold? I have sponsored a few just because I believe they really add to the sites vibe and their membership expired or i was feeling the christmas love or whatever. Like I said, no harm meant....just not sure why anyone would put up with the ads and not just support their own habit.
