A few popups are such a small price to pay for all of this excellent and FREE information. Yes. They are annoying, but so is planning six or seven meals every day. The benefit far outweighs the inconvenience. For those of you who cannot install software on your machines (students and restricted employees), I recommend that you make friends with <Alt><F4>.

I bring the board down with "neg" huh. I see. I haven't yet resorted to name-calling or the other desperate act of the old "your stats are pathetic so I'm right and you're wrong" bit. So before that little tirade goes any further, I officially admit that I am not as pretty as you are. That being said, if it's within your ability to stick to the subject at hand, please do so. If not, I have better things to do.

Gym, So what your saying is, that since someone either doesn't buy Georges goods or is a plat. member, his or her opinion shouldn't mean much. Hmmmm, thats just great.
Why is that, cause George is trying to recoop money spent keep the board running. OK I'm fine with that. He was just getting some feedback from members of this site.
Since we are doing the "imo" thing.
IMO I think everyones opinion should mean just as much as the next person, for all, thats what they are, opinions.

Then be a man and prove me wrong. Or continue to whine and call me names. Whichever.

I'm just saying that you have to look at this from a business perspective. From a business perspective, wealthy paying customers have more influence on how a business is run than regular paying customers. And regular paying customers have more influence than non-paying customers. It's a fact of life. It is nothing personal towards anyone.

Lots of good points.

This board is a business, and it is (has to be) run like one to survive. Other bigger boards such as the ones running off online stores or companies - already have a steady primary source of income, their boards serve as more of a convience.

Elite is the biggest board that I know, with 26k + members - I can understand the problems he has been having and the extra funds needed. But a non-paying member is essentially a potential member, so keeping the board clean of pop-ups would be a good idea to keep newer/existing members pleased - as well as the lot of non-paying members that supply the great info that keep these boards alive and a exellent place to get advice.

There are many other ways to get income on the web - George is a smart business man, its just that the pop-up idea is not flying well with many members - and like some others I used to consider this place free of such annoyances. If I really wanted such a product/service as advertised, chances are by now I would have clicked on the on-board ad not play a constant battle of (alt+f4) when I am elsewhere, and have to run special software when at home.
