Hi everyone

Please be patient with me as I am making some changes to the forum.

As always marunde-muscle.com finds it necessary to only have the best strength related sponsors. We would like to welcome our newest sponsor House of Pain. I am sure that everyone here is familiar with their awesome clothing!

Please continue to support our sponsors. Those mentioned have been instrumental in making this forum a success and have always shown class and dignity. Grassland beef, IronMond, Vital Choice, Jackals Gym, Slaters Stone Molds, and Pittbull Equipment. I am proud to be have these companies on our forum and I stand by the quality of their product 100%

The forum should be fully updated in the next week. Thanks to all of those who submitted banners. I think I used them all, if not I will at some point! :)

Thanks again

Callie

there is a new banner that swaps in every now and then that is too tall. the image needs to be cut.

it's the one with the forum title is on the ends with vertical lettering.

I made that one. I am not sure why it looked like that when I uploaded it. I will try to fix it.

I love it!

As for the sponsors, I bought from a few of them: Slater (twice), IronMind (a few times), Jackals and Pitbull eqipment.

A few points:

1- banner3.jpg is too grainy to be up to par with the other images
2- On all of the letters in banner6.jpg, except the initial 'M', the glossy effect make it look very... odd. I know there's a compromize to be made between quality and size of an image, but by removing the glaze effect it will look much more professional (IMHO :))

My favorite banner is banner2.jpg. In my heart this is the typical Jesse: big, strong and a little cocky for the camera :) Callie looks like a gazillion bucks also! ;)

Again, great job!

I like how you use member generated content in the website. That is really awesome!

As for sponsor banners, what is the requirement for getting one? I think that Strongman.TV and MustSeeStrongman should try to get a banner on the front page.

I have used all the banner links on the front page. Mostly I use Ironmind and Jackal's though.

What happened to MET-Rx?

Any changes are cool and refreshing though! Hopefully you continue to make some changes and keep making this place better and better!

Take Care Callie!

The Grassland Beef ad takes me to a blank page.

Actually it has been this way for months.

Hey Aaron, I had similar weirdness pop-up when I did my website - in my case it has to do with the compression level I chose: the higher it was, the more drastic the loss in quality. Other than that, the rest of that banner kicks a$$!

Yes Garrick I am talking to a few other strongman related companies that want banner space.
