Default Love this site, but.....

Why do they allow advertisements on their website about losing weight with eating whatever you want and not exercising? Come on now- we all know that doesn't work! I'm so sick of these pop ups when you are looking on other websites that pop up and say with these 2 little secrets I lost _lbs in_ weeks, and it is an advertisement for acai berry and some colon cleanser. Anyone else sick of these?

I agree with you. I've learned to ignore them, though.

Well, it looks like the ads are by Google and not sure who has control over them ... I have clicked on one once or twice. Only because I think Google pays you based on number of clicks you get, where you get them from, etc. and I figure 3FCs has this great forum for us and this is a small way for them to profit a bit.

What we do here is awesome and totally free so I don't see the harm in putting up with perimeter ads and clicking on them once in a while.

I'm sorry about the ads Right now they are running without a filter to get rid of the crap, but I'm working on it.

Thanks
