Ugh...well, that was fun...NOT!
First and foremost, I want to thank all the link sites that have listed my work for so long...it's very much appreciated
I downed a lot of domains...primarily because of sponsors that wanted banners yanked. These were all old sites...at least a year...most much older than that. Unfortunately, when the sites were built...banner calls were hard coded. I simply did not have time to go through and pull everything manually...hence downing the domains. These domains are redirecting to the root of my link site...clean...no consoles...nothing nasty. I DID check server logs and very little link list traffic was flowing to these sites.
All my newer sites are a bit more automated and I was able to pull banners without affecting the sites much...other than they're not quite so purty
I have about a dozen sites that were using sponsor content. These are relatively new sites...using sponsor content was an experiment...would never do it again for many reasons. In any case, again because sponsors want all their promo pulled...I've simply deleted the content from these sites. The sites remain intact otherwise...and I'll be prepping and uploading new content to them tomorrow. Frankly, my eyes feel like they're filled with sand...I'm tired...and simply can't hang anymore tonight.
Sooo, that's it for this porn slinger...what a pain in the ass this has been. Given my current exhausted state of mind...don't think I'll go into my thoughts on all the programs that gave in on this thing so easily. Their actions or lack thereof made more work than the damn regs
