Maybe you should be sponsoring a VW forum and posting there instead, where your promotion would be more appropriate...just a thought.
We advertise on many sites. Since we opened the doors to Porsche last year, we though this place would be a good place to encourage Porsche drivers to come out and enjoy a well organized GTA show heading into it's 7th year. Maybe our mandate is dated, but seriously the response by some individuals is shocking, something I would suspect to find on a Honda forum.

Take it for what it is but this style of advertising has the same effect on me, perhaps others too, as the spam I get in my emails. For lack of better words, anoying as $hit on a shoe.

Well, you would get the same type of response on a Honda forum if you were advertising a VW event.

We aim to give the local and international members of the VW/Audi community an opportunity to see the latest and the very best of what there is to offer for their cars, as well as meet the people behind the products and services they offer. With the continued support of our sponsors, vendors, media partners, volunteers and you, our fans and attendees, VAGKRAFT will continue to be Canada’s leading event for the VW/Audi community."

This.
This company can throw add money wherever they want. Placing it here was a bad business decision in my mind. Sponsor or no sponsor,it is still bad business practice to be constantly pissing people off. Op should have sensed this from no response to posts and backed off.

Imre was just the first one to say something.

Rl should offer him his money back so he can take it to a vw tuner forum.
