Many people view their favorite board as the watercooler. In this particular case, people have bought ads and stuck it on the cooler. And if you say something bad about one of the advertisers, the stickers mean more than the people and you're gone.
If there's any question about whether a board is a community or a business, in that case it's been answered definitively. Nothing wrong with that, but if anyone was under false impression and thought that was their friends, their online family, or whatever else the relationship is, you're wrong, you're just a set of eyeballs and a poster helping the bottom line.
