I could give 2 shits about what they do to their foot, its that shit like this spatters onto my feet as well. I'd hate to see some of the more mainstream traffic sources dry up just because they get tired of shit coming out of the adult blog world.

With sponsors starting to provide hosted blogs, hosted blog feeds and other feeds, it's good for us, the directory owners and the aggregators but it also makes it pretty easy to develop good "looking" splogs that, on initial appearance, appear pretty legit.

It just pisses me the fuck off that we (a blogging community) are just beginning to realize that the fucking lessons learned in the early days of TGP's and freesites really do still apply and all the rules that seem so fucking silly are there for absolutely all the right reasons. Oh and it's pissing me the fuck off having this freehost asswipe coming around spamming his bull-shit. It's idiots like him that make me even fucking think about this shit.

LOL, but honestly, even if The Walrus didn't make a dime off The Walrus Blog he'd still be doing it. He needs that venue to release all the pent up frustrations from simply being a genius in his day to day life.

Right, they use the sawed-off 12 gauge approach when they should be using the .50 cal sniper rifle approach LOL But as long as people make money off the quantity splog approach, it will still be around.

Now if they'd just turn the gun around....
