I would suggest one of the reasons that ef is alive and well in light of the recent unpleasantness is that they can be a bit more selective w/the advertisers b/c of the income from plats--they even responded and dumped the roid store when members complained and gave you the option to see the chemical names spelled-out or not (decided by george today).
imho, if you can afford the small cost, do it and keep the board free of the stuff that draws undue attention from the wrong people.
