Also, I'm not saying "e-gold is not being used enough". I am just saying "there exists no non-cottage-industry EREs". Hence, e-gold should say "since e-gold is currently only used for HYIPs (let's call a spade a spade) and a couple of novelty sites, and we really want some non-cottage-industry egold related enterprises, we need to make an advertising channel for enterprises to reach e-gold users" > > >> Anyway - I suggest a simple checkbox so that users who hate banner >> ads can turn them off. > >So e-gold would then go through all effort of implementing banner ads on >the spend page just so that everybody could turn it off? (I imagine the default would be off.) My guess: 60% would turn them on, 40% leave them off. (Also, I don't see the "all the effort" part, it's a few lines of code. Hell, try it for six months and see what happens.) > > >Viking Coder >________________ >Worth Two Cents? >http://www.two-cents-worth.com/?VikingCoder > >--- >You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------------------------------- "I feel like we're inside a Civilization game and there's some fucking idiot playing." --Michael T.
