If you werent trolling for some cheap ads maybe you have a litle resource envy then?

I think its a pretty lame question to ask on a free forum from 2 gents that have been around a long time and have helped out a number of us over the years [I registered my first domain in '93] and asked for nothing in return.

Im sorry you think my logic is flawed. Id be willing to bet that many of us feel that the best sponsors are the ones that send the largest checks. I can read Green Guys stats for myself. Hes posted them for years. I asked you what does your average webmaster make... I guess you are unwilling to answer that. So sad.

I wasnt trying for anything though. See Im not much for porn conspiracies or the man keeping fat fucking nobodies down.

Maybe Ive gotten sensative but I thought it was pretty rude to come into this free forum and ask questions that looked like they were made to put Mark and Jim in a bad light. I consider them to be some of the few HONEST people in this business with some integrity left.

If you dont want to look like a troll or a freeloader then maybe you shouldnt act like one.

Im sorry this thread isnt getting you the kind of response that maybe you hoped for but Im sure everyone appreciates the schooling on how a perfect webmaster forum shoud be ran.

Don't think that we would ever allow a program to be a sponsor just because they offer money. Scumbags need not apply. You must be thinking of someplace else.

If every source of information in the world did not have the same business model, I might have gotten a little offended. :)

Part of the problem seems to be a poor choice of words. Starting with the work "censor". As I said, it doesn't apply. And then Greenie's analogy using "FOX" because of the Superbowl. His beer comparison was good. I didn't see our local brewery in any of the Superbowl commercials but I don't believe they feel slighted or "censored". But instead of using "FOX", he could have used NBC, CBS, BBC, CW or any television network.

Im glad you keep responding though - you keep making your own case!

Youd think after 10 years you would get it.

Whatever you say GonZo. You know you made a statement that is inaccurate. Your biggest sponsor check does not automatically equal your best sponsor.

You want to start a thread about just that topic? Prove me wrong?

That was not my intention, sorry, I know you have canned some add sponsors. I remember.

But you do see my point right?

Semantics aside.

Do you promote and make sales with every sponsor that buys adds here?

That's the point I was trying to make.

You must not get many checks. Or maybe your have a different business plan. Im do this to make money. I dont count clicks I cash checks and assure you the sponsor that gives me the biggest one certainly is my best one!

I want to start another thread alright but Im a guest here.

A little known fact is we have a master list that we go by when we consider a new advertiser. That list came from Greenie's stats. And, if I decide to have a sponsor that is not on that list that we don't know about, the first thing that happens is Greenie signs up and gives them a good try.

We learned and were told a long time ago that the sponsors on GGandJ are thought to be endorsed by us. We take that very seriously.

I think maybe it's time to start filling in that hole. You may want to climb out first.

Haven't you got some young girls in bikinis to go photograph?

Originally Posted by [BV] (Post 387610)

I don't photograph young girls, in fact i don't even use the word young in any of my sales blurbs. To me young girls means underage.

So you can go fuck yourself with that comment.

I made the comment deliberately, to make a point. You've made comments in this thread, starting with the very first post, that are just as slanted.

Originally Posted by [BV] (Post 387662)

So if someone here has an opinion you don't agree with you accuse them of shooting underage girls? |crazy|

Is that what your saying?

That's a pretty strong accusation. You would be banned if I were running this place.

Welcome to my ignore list.

I think that's a very important fact that should be advertised.

Shame on us for actually endorsing/supporting our sponsors & shame on us for having a legit message board community where people help each other out.

That's what you get when you assume that money talks & people only post to get their sig file seen |thumb
