Scammers.............

[Howard Pippin]

Absolutely agree. I refuse to become a paying member of any forum. If a forum requires me to become a paid member, I will find one that doesn't simple as that.

There's no free lunch in anything, they don't really accept advertising as such and somebody's got to pay the bills. If it isn't worth $20 to you a year, for goodness sakes get off and leave it to us that don't mind paying $20 here to have something that makes sense on instead of all the nonsense that seems to be available on a lot of other sites.

Then why do I have to fight constant pop up ads?

My Adblocker knocks out the popups and it is free.

That doesn't change the fact that the site makes money from advertisers AND constantly sends messages asking for membership even after I nicely asked for them to stop asking.

I am a member just so I can read and post in the political section.

Only ads I see are at the top of the page and I go right past them and I do not get any popups, it must be different for others.

Curious.

When I get a scam text I reply “Thank you for subscribing to History Fact of the Day!” And then I send them random history facts until I get bored and forget or they block me.

Check your computer settings I don't get pop ups in anything and it's how you have your scam control setup. I'm sure they're not being caused by the people at muzzleloader.com.

There's always been those four or five ads at the top of the page, and like you, I go right past them. They don't pop up when I'm looking at other stuff, I'm not into really buying from this site and maybe that's where they get them from, I don't know. But when I open one of the forums I don't get a bunch of ads or even one.
