I use Adblock, don't get me wrong. However, most of the sites that are running all those ads are bloated as hell which make for slow loading times.
In addition to that we've all see how complicated it can be on some forums to upload pictures. Not to mention most of them are running software that is really out of date. This forum makes it easy to do just about anything, including linking to your social media accounts.
I only launched the forum just a month ago so right now I am just trying to get the word out. It's happening slowly but surely, so if you know anyone with a Jeep be sure to spread the word!
