    having to log in to view posts is also annoying as hell. That's something the lesser sites force you to do. Until now.

    Hahaha. Thankfully, I was at home first time it came on
    My wife just looked at me with a weird look. But it's loud as hell and would have been embarassing if I was at work. And yes, having to log in every visit is annoying.

    If they were not trying to SELL you something they would not need something like that.

    Always remember it might be a forum but they are trying to make money too. Money tends to make smart people do dumb things. Case in point...

    So if it makes the owner money but is annoying to some people, he should take it down to please those few people who are allowed to use the site for free?

    maybe there is a way to make it such that this pop-up is only served to newer members. those of us who have been here a while, and may have lesser interest in buying those products, may be omitted from the list of target audience.

    wouldn't be so bad if it only did it once... Evertyime I check notifications, or go to a different part of the site, it comes back.... sometimes more than once...

    I miss the old fly in banner. It was annoying but at least it was silent and only appeared once.

    This is true! If all I have to do is put up with that one pop up to keep this site free I have no problem with that.

    No one is suggesting that....I like Brian, think hes a good dude, and cant thank him enough for providing this community for us free of charge, and I know the dude needs to turn a profit....All we are saying is that for many of us, having someone shout STEROIDS the moment we access the page can be a detriment. I'd also make the argument, that if trying to make a sale, it has the potential to kill sales if customers access the site with their wives/s.o.'s in the other room and they hear STEROIDS real loud, many people talk about&do steroid surreptitiously, so the necessity for discretion is a real and valid concern. Thats all..

    That video has been up for awhile now, and regardless of what anyone's opinion is, including mine, there's really only one important question. Are sales up or down? That's all that matters.
