GML stands for Game Maker Language

I will use example Game Maker Language to show you what I mean
of coding I want to know how to do anyways below is a GML version example
of what I want to do with HTML language:

if (!variable_local_exists("visit")) then
{
  var visit;
  visit = 0;
}
else if (variable_local_exists("visit")) then
{
  if (visit < 1)
  {
    show_message("Please click on OK to close this message box, thank you.");
  }
}

And who would this apply to? Members? Members and guests (probably have to use a cookie or localStorage for guests)? Of course, if you're looking for just the code, this will have to save via cookie or localStorage. If someone clears their cookies though (if saved by cookie) it'll show the message again. If plugin fashion, would "visit" be saved via cookies / localStorage (if guest) and by key for members (possibly new members)? Also, is message from a popup?

Oh, and that's probably not the whole code you posted above. If it is, "visit" is never incremented nor saved, which would mean your first if would be the one that always hits true. A few more details could really help shed some light of your thoughts behind this and how you'd like it to work.

They have plugins that welcome members on logging in and others that use a popup to tell guests to register
