I'm aware of the Instyleshoes ad. Though Sole Collector was sold to Complex earlier this year, instyleshoes was sold to an individual a couple of years ago. He's actually a long time NT member and he wanted to advertise with NT to help repair the image of the site, which was tarnished by the previous owner's conduct, and give back to the community. (He's interested in supporting our donation drives, for example.)
I think it's kind of silly to hold a grudge against a business years after the person responsible for its failings has departed and completely divested himself of any holdings in it. Sole Collector is a separate entity.
Peace.

Yeah, Sole Collector is roughly the same thing since they maintained the same staff after the sale. ISS has a COMPLETELY different team than they used to. It's a new day for them and given their current owner's commitment to social responsibility I think it's a good fit. They're also eager to give back to NT users via contests/giveaways.
i feel the same way about it like 4wrestling
in the end it all comes down to money
and in this hobby that's what you need to keep going
if someone else is running iss or not
i would rather we be totally different sites
