First off I'll admit what I am about to say is possible coincidence but it is also too much to ignore.

I signed on anonymously AND posted once about advertising after a long hiatus. Then the email account I use almost exclusively for this site is suddenly hacked within 24 hours by someone in Europe and used to send a ton of pharma spam. Most of you here who received the garbage rejected it and I caught on with in an hour of the hack because of my own safeguards.

Nevertheless I do find it odd and worth mentioning because I had not signed into the account in weeks and I hadn't before it was hacked. I only receive correspondence there from here and another life extension site. Is it still true that only those in leadership can see our actual email addresses?

Like I said; coincidence?

Probably but please take a look a site security. No harm was done this time but if the origin of the hack was from here then you guys might have a breach needing to be closed.

Oh and why am I still seeing the ads?

After I sign in why do I still have to be subjected to the "Russian Love Match" ads?

Does this have something to do with my missing lifetime member status?

Sorry for the Lifetime Member thing Laz. Thanks for being patient with that. I changed your status, but I am not sure if it took. let me know if the ads have gone away - although are you sure you are not in the market for a Russian Love Match? ;)

Well sort of, I still see the "sponsored ads" but I guess that is intentional.
