Default Win a Raptor - fail

Hi,
message for admins.
On the top of the forum, have some bar saying Win a Raptor (or drive home a Raptor - something like this).
When pressing it I'm leaded to the following site: http://wina2020fordraptor.com/
But the website is unavailable (checked it also several days ago and it was unavailable...).
Does it mean that I've already won a Raptor and could just drive it home?....

Can you provide a screen capture? I suspect you're referring to an advertisement as I cannot find any records of any association. As you may know, advertisements can be specific for people based on things such as browsing history as well as IP address location data.

With the screen capture providing more information, I can say it's not typical advertisement that I thought it was. Instead it looks like sponsor program. It may have ended or there may be a technical issue with the party putting on program. I'm not involved on the advertisement side to have that information firsthand but I'll check into it with the team tomorrow.
