I agree with some of the other posters. I don't think companies should be advertising on web sites that foster the amount of hatred that Discover Vancouver does. If the Bulletin Board was a newspaper, none of these companies would be caught dead paying for advertising. It certainly appeals to the lowest common demonominator doesn't it? If you use the board for what it is meant for (to ask someone a legitimate question etc) you are immediately shouted down and abused by everyone. The more I think about it, I would like to send links of some of the more offensive threads to their advertisers and ask them what their thoughts are on some of them. I am sure that these companies all have minorities etc working for them. As employers do they support the type of racism that is spewed through out the day? One would hope not.
