Who else thinks that…

That big huge ‘ANABOLIC STEROID CYCLES’ banner at the top is way too obtrusive? I can browse at work, but always find myself scrolling down to hide that thing. Needs a new tag line also, should be ‘Learn more about Anabolic Steroids’. I don’t want other coworkers thinking I’m juicing. I thought when I signed up as an elite member that goes away?

It needs to go for sure. Nowadays that's not something you want to advertise to your co workers.

i think mine may have already figured it out

Yeah it is funny you mention that because I had Comcast here a little bit ago and I realized that I had this screen up when they were in here. Oh well, but coworker would not be so great.

I'm not against it, I just think it could send out the wrong message to people I work around. Not to mention the drop shadow and bevel are completely opposite, that font looks like it's going to crush you and the aspect ratio of that image is all funked up. Looks like crap... If you’re going to offer products at least have some half way decent marketing material that can span multiple audiences not just one. Just my 2ml.

You are on a aas info site are you not?

You are on a anabolic androgenic steroids info site are you not?

not really Need2..

this is an elite FITNESS forum..

AAS is just one aspect of the site.. however big that aspect may be.. it's only one peice of the puzzle..

I agree, I think it's silly.. I usually close EF down before anyone even has a chance to look at it.. for that sole reason pretty much..

Yeah, I know i'm just saying it could be better. It doesn't say Info or Learn more... It's miss leading in to many ways. IMO

I use Tor (privoxy) and that eliminated the advertisements. I am not sure if you can install it at work but it is nice.

 

[Raptorex]

its plain fucking stupid - I would bet they lose more business then gain from this; also N2 NO this is a Fitness board too.

 

[needtogetarmy]

I get a laugh out of some things here. The main purpose of this place is to talk about steroids, the banner and all of the advertising is directed towards steroid use, yet you go into the forum and mention certain things about steroids and hell breaks out lol

Oh well. I love it here anyway, banner or no banner.

Also you need to figure a majority of the new peeps come here looking for A.A.S. advice so although we may not like it, we all need to recognize the main purpose of the site. They gotta pay the bills somehow. I bet my money that the main revenue comes from selling E-books and juicing dudes paying for plat than what they get from the C&C crowd.

IMO if what they are doing work for them there is no need to fix it!

 

[rnch]

agree! digger, george...how about dumping the banner?

 

[Raptorex]

It certainly must bring women to the site, I mean after all 50% of the population or more is women!

I'm sad now

Yeah I could give a rats also about the banner but the first thing that came to my mind when I saw it was bad marketing plan.
