Erm, BMMF... there are adverts... just log out and you'll see them.
And the difference between being marketed at and being informed is surely who is telling you something and whether they're being paid to.
I'm not being paid to, and I certainly am not trying to sell you something. And I actually know you.
If the images were gone and it were just text as I've done in the past: "Upcoming: Ride Magazine Launch and Fixed Magazine Launch"... then would anyone have said anything? What's the difference? I'm guessing it's just your perception of what a banner advert is and an instant correlation from that to evilness, even though there is nothing evil in this, no money has exchanged hands and I only put them up because it IS awesome that 2 magazines have appeared at the same time.
