I've been on AdvRider since 2004. Never once did I get banned, or even a warning about my behavior. Last year, I posted about a ride I did. I put up some pictures, one of which showed me wearing my "Traitor Joe's" shirt. A couple of comments went back and forth about it. Also I made mention that it was also a very heavily armed table of guys (us). Boom. Three days in jail. That was the warning sign to me that shit was changing for the worse. I can't recall if the increase in ads came before or after my banning, but that added to my concerns. Then they get sold. Adds increase even more. I see ads for guns for sale, on a site which prohibits that very thing on the forum. The irony! The ads grew in size, and became really fucking annoying. My screen now jumps all over the place as new ads load and other ads are replaced.
I still go there, but I'm going to be weaning myself off the site, or just leaving, if things don't get better.
