I'm surprised this site allows advertising spammers. 1st I've seen actually that hasn't been deleted.

Let me repost that original message and show you that this entire thread is nothing BUT an advertisement. Then you can show me a single line where you are answering a question about diet OK?

It starts out:

hey guys you like discounts

Ok that isn't the start of an advertisement huu?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hey whats up everyone, i am just throwing this out there is anyone need help with anything from all the whey i am here to answer any questions you may have about our products or diet anything at all if you want DISCOUNTS

Ok here we even capitalize the word DISCOUNTS and say you're here to answer questions regarding your PRODUCTS

Nothing but advertisement again my friend.


i am here for that too just use discount code rob05 in the discount box and i will make sure you get that discount!!!

OK in this sentence alone we use the word discount three times and offer a code too. Still say this isn't an advertisement?


anything else you need help with i will give you my email lnvl@iup.edu email me any questions and soon i will be able to take orders from you over aim but i will let you know when that will happen!!

Here you let everyone know how you will take their money. I mean orders. This also is not real diet and nutrion information.


also my private cell number i will throw out there for any questions or problems with orders you guys may have you can give me a ring. if you are like me we like to know when and where our protein is at haha

and here we give home numbers and everything so you can let everyone know where your protein is or if they have problems ordering your protein.
I don't see this either as being helpful information regarding diet or nutrition as the title of this section states.
It actually belongs in an entirely different section entitled: ORDER STATUS AND COMPLAINTS



so stay tuned a new era of all the whey is about to be unleashed!!!

and my favorite NON advertising line of the whole thread.
THE COOL TAG LINE:

Era of All the Whey is about to be unleashed!!!

Good Lord man. You're not even original. That "unleashed" thingy has already been used for some power drink I think it was!
But still not advertising right????

remember discount code rob05 for your discounts!!!

and then we finish off this very helpful post regarding diet and nutrition with the discount code once again and we even got to use the word discounts two more times.

OOOPs not finished yet.... One last word from the sponsor:


i am here to answer questions about diet, products, discounts, and help you guys out.

All you answered was ... ummmm.... you didn't answer anything because no question was asked as I said before.

You'll never get my respect or business bro by trying to pull the whool over my eyes. Be straight up and be honest. Honestly is the best policy. You come over as nothing more then a snake oil carpet bagger by pretending to be something you're not. You're a salesman for a product. Just admit it. I can at least respect honesty.

You simply should have said that you're hear to offer discounts for your products in hopes to save the members money.....period .

YOur advertising approach may work on the 14 year olds but not on people with half a brain.



this thread is sponsored by allthewhey so I don’t believe its spam, I am sorry you feel this way.

I for one come here to offer some knowledge regarding fitness and health. I don't want to be reading a bunch of hokey and dorky ads like this one. I mean for Gods sake: Era of All the Whey is about to be unleashed!!! Has anyone told this guy he is talking about a freeken protein and not some new science break through??? It just reminded me of one of those muscle tech ads but much worse and it twisted me.

So because you know him, it's ok for him to advertise in actual information threads and not someone else. That is pretty hypocritical don't you think? Or is it all about money? He pays for this site to allow him to advertise in the threads. That isn't cool.
But like I said, whatever. You're boards. But speaking from 1st impressions, it's tacky as I said earlier in my opinion.

I don't want to sit and listen to you bitch about people that are paying to keep this board up and running. Are you an elite member? No, then STFU. Thanks!

QUOTE:
You will appreciate this in regards to what I have been saying in this thread.

A short time ago I noticed a thread started by a mike263 entitled "Go Lean Cereal" His comments were as follows:

Go Lean Cereal
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyone every heard of it, is it good?

I been eating it for a while it has 13g of protein, and 10g of fiber, at 140 calories... any comments?
******************************

So the very next thing I did before I even thought to respond was to see if Kashi the maker of the cereal was a sponsor here as well!!!! You see what I mean? I shouldn't have to be doing that! ............
****************

Strange that this is the only site on the entire net that requires that you research all the previous posters prior to responding.

We have Mods and Veterans to take care of that.

Hardly the troublemaker you are making me out to be because of 1 advertising thread. LIke I said go look at my posts before passing judgement on me people. Some of you are like little sensative prisses. I made an observation and was attacked for it. Some of you really suck sorry to say while others here seem to be very nice people. I just have to ignore the caddy chicks and foul mouthed trucker chicks on here and we'll get along fine. minno and jodie for example.
With this said I'm not coming back to this thread to even write what you might say so don't waste your time.

Sites are able to run because of the sponsers. Without them there would be no internet asshole. Go spend another dollar and get you a fucking brain that raises your IQ to 4. Better yet go away.

Im sure every person on this forum has been attacked in some way previously and you need a thick enough skin to roll with the punches. I actually agree that some people here are strong minded, but these are also some of the people that have a wealth of knowledge to share. By all means challenge people where you disagree, just have sound references to back you up.

Your first impressions of some people here are not entirely accurate, and regardless of someone's personality the information both Jodi and Minno pass onto others should be respected.
