What is Panhead John ‘s tag over there? You just can’t escape him can you?

This is the difference between paying for a product and being the product.

I used to belong to that forum, there is a reason why I no longer go there and it is not the ads.

[FireMan]

Yeah, it meant nuthin to ya. Surrrre! We know that there was a big reason fer foolin around. We will be watching from here on out.
One thinks it may go deeper than what Cap’n Mike allude to. 👀

I actually saw the post you’re talking about here. I googled the subject and was trying to help the poster. I clicked on that site, to see what they had to say. And.....wham, the ads hit me. That gave me the idea for this rant. 😂

Panhead John

looks like adding corn meal to a rub is a trending topic at this other favorite meat smoking forum of yours, too. There's a recent post here at the pit about the same. is there a mole out there lifting content? maybe someone who visits these other sites for research purposes only? inquiring minds need to know!

They meant nothing to me, it was a one time fling. I was drunk and feeling neglected, I know it’s no excuse, just trying to explain my reasoning. It won’t happen again. Please forgive me!

You went to another bbq site?

[Panhead John]

Well, I clicked on the black bra ad, I’m running low, but it wound up being an ad for something else.

[Jerod Broussard]

It's not the ads that are intrusive, it's the intrusive MCS that comes with the ads.

So which Hawaiian shirt did you get?

Wow! Having an ad blocker cuts out all of that. Of course a lot of site don't like the blockers and ask that you turn them off.

Recently we had a complaint about "all the ads" here on our site, from a member. Anyone who thinks our recommended products is ads...or intrusive, should take a look at what is out there on other BBQ websites. OMG! We should thank our lucky stars Meathead cares about us and only keeps our Recommended Products to the right side of the page. Our site is a piece of cake compared to other places. And no annoying pop ups or video ads. I went to Smoking Meats Forum.com and this is what I was bombarded with......middle of the page ads for Equifax, 1-800- PetMeds and Travel Patriot. Upon opening the page I was forced to cancel out a video playing an ad from SimpliSafe and another ad on the bottom middle of the page for Galveston Island. Not to mention ads for Hawaiian Shirts and Ladies T-Shirts. And it’s not even BBQ related ads at that. If anyone reading this is upset about our recommended products, just go take a look around other BBQ sites. The 5 pictures below are all the ads just from one topic. Ok, I’m getting down from my soapbox now.
