    ^^^ That expressed my thoughts, too. Not only would nobody pay to advertise in a dedicated forum area, very few folks would willingingly browse it. Ad blockers are one of the major reasons we've transitioned to the Contributor model as it is.

    Since it's unlikely that any of the ads would be from vendors in the greater Frankfurt area, I would never take a peek in that subforum.

    The theory of the internet is that the articles and the ads would be targeted by the readers location and interests. maybe they could be targeted by country? As a kid my parents dropped our subscription to consumer reports since a lot of the products were not sold in California. Growing up I thought A+P markets was invented by Mad magazine just like Hudson University or Gotham City. Same with Howard Johnson's.
    I have never seen a Menards or a Princess auto either but I understand that they exist?
