Where did the Extreme Paychecks announcement go?

The announcement was designed for ExtremePaychecks to gain affiliates...nothing more. Please don't act like it was designed to only benefit webmasters.

In this phrase, "Don't you think that a contest like this will catch the eye of potential affiliates, too", you have accurately described the purpose of the announcement. You act as if this contest was actually designed to help potential affiliates instead of gaining more affiliates. The announcement was an "Advertisement" for ExtremePaychecks, plain and simple. And, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. And, you are right, it would get more views in the main forum. But, that privilege is reserved for our advertisers. To me, that is the only fair thing to do with sponsors that pay us to get their news out.

After reading one of your other posts, instead of this being true, "Too bad the owners of this board don't care enough about there own surfers.", this would be more accurate. I am very happy to keep our main forum as close to SPAM free as possible for our "webmasters".

Even with us moving it to it's proper forum on GreenguyandJim, it has had more views than any other board that you were able to get placement on the front page. For the life of me, I can't figure out what you are bitching about. You get more views from a board that is charging you nothing.

Actually Jim the contest was designed for BOTH existing affiliates AND potential new affiliates. We are doing something out of appreciation to those who promote our sites. It's pretty said that any sponsor who stops advertising on your site becomes a second class citizen. Plus I'm sure you can see what "I'm bitching about" it was listed on the first page for less then 2 minutes. Was it a mad rush to move it? Where you all tripping over each other? The whole situation is silly, but like I've said before, not everyone is going to appreciate when you try to do something nice.
