Default Please take a survey

Well after getting pestered for days to take a survey from this site, I finally did it. It was really easy. Two Questions. Everyone should take it.

How old are you?

Are you the primary purchaser of trash bags for your household?

I know I've said it before, but this site is getting so blatantly in your face with their main objective of making money that it is almost getting insulting.

I'll get off of my soapbox now. But if anyone in power reads this and really cares, you will begin losing members if you don't settle down.

Was that a survey from "this site", or was that something independent that popped up?
It pays to have ad blocker and popup blocker set on your browser. I don't get bothered here with any popups, and have no banner ads showing.

This isn't 1992, I need to install a pop up blocker? I have Google Chrome, the popup was local to this site, this is a new install of Windows 7 so maleware isn't an issue.

I'm using Firefox. With Chrome (stock settings) I can see a top & bottom banner ad, as well as on the right side. With Firefox, nada. Plus, I never got the survey popup you did. Guess I'm liking Firefox the way I have it set just fine then.

Funny that this site requires popup blockers, ad blockers and security set up. When will I also be required to run maware software after visiting it?

Plenty of Camaro sites out there without blinging flashing ads front side and center. Plenty of other sites without popups and security risks. Yet this site is compelled to do it. The only reason for it is because it is owned by a company looking to profit from its forum membership. It is at this point that the site is no longer member focused, but member reliant.

Like I said in PM I have no clue where it came from or who put it there and you were the first to bring it up..Ill get to the bottom of it. i hear alot of complaining about ads and stuff but you guys really have no idea how many things ive fought to keep OFF of this site in the last few years. some of their ideas would make you sick
