In any case, it's not really an issue to be argued out in public. |
Well, this is where your lack of appearing has sort of bitten you in the foot.
SSQ left over the ads and SSS has also left, although over SMBHQ's low activity level rather than ads.
In any case, the problem is no longer relevant, since that now leaves just me and Gage and Sean; Sean's being paid, Gage is content with whatever he's doing (I dunno) and being able to update NC is a reward in itself which requires no money.

Welcome to the Internet. |
Actually I double-checked and most of the ads I objected to (intellitxt, hideously huge Google ads) have left, although many fans I have spoken to seem to find the inaccuracy of Google's matching distracting. But there's nothing we can do about that, can we?
In short, the passage of time has eroded away most of the relevance of the old boring complaints I threw around, as apparently, they actually did work and did cause things like intellitxt to die a horrible death.
That said, they did us a service in getting you to pay attention for once, as the reason I kept mentioning them was that, for years, I didn't get an answer on them. So even when they eventually resolved themselves, I still wanted an answer, and here we are in 2010.
But now I have an answer, and the two issues are dead. So, to move on to something else...
...What do you plan to do when/if Sean leaves, Kyle?
