Did anyone else get this?

Don't know if this is a new "feature" or if I just didn't get these emails before for some reason, but I just got a TriumphRAT.net newsletter... which featured a large "sponsored by Harley Davidson" banner and two huge ads about how Harley Davidson takes competitive trade-ins (and only a few lines of actual newsletter content).

Dear company that bought what used to be the best Triumph forum online: Fuck you.

I got it too. Interesting that none of the links on the left side that pertain to the forum work. Only those on the right side which are either advertisements for HD or Motorcycle.com ???

I also received this advertisement from the ratnet. Just one more reason to not ever go back there again. I deleted it from my short cuts quite a while back.

The links worked for me. The eightball choke thingy mentioned hedge several times.

The first time it came up I didn't get the pictures. Tried to click on the eightball link and pictures of Harleys came up. Kinda blew my mind
