Link O'Rama Rule Changes (yipee)

[LB]

Any site that's listed with a date prior to August 21 2006 will not have the new rules applied to it EVER! MML will still be checking all the sites by hand from time to time, but only sites listed after Monday will be re-reviewed with the new rules.

...and everyone knows that LL's bend the rules for HFS's from time to time

Thanks for the answer

I think we will redo them anyhow so they are in line with the new rule sets.

I'd like to go on record by saying that I do not encourage or expect people to go thru their old sites & adjust them to fit the new rules.

Seems there's threads on 3 other boards about this (Netpond, Medium Pimpin & a 3rd that's in a language that 99.44% of my surfers don't speak) Please do not go by anything that is posted as fact or hearsay in those threads, as I really don't want to go from board to board explaining things, especially the existence of unofficial rules

Just read the other threads, it seems like the sky is falling again

With the way these new rules have been spreading on boards I thought I'd have to give a urine sample with each submit (I'd still win the Tour de France though).

Seems to me like these are straight forward rules that a lot of webmasters have already been using for awhile now and it really isn't that dramatic of a change. So, why is everyone getting so excited over it? lol.

Too bad though, I think I've missed the opportunity to join in the mass hysteria and now I feel leftout.

I noticed that unofficial rules post
I talked to you the day you decided on the new rules and nothing was being done before you posted them.

But, what can you expect? By now, everyone should know that you do what you do to make the surfers come back over and over. And, if it doesn't work out for you, you change the rules back.

But, according to most posts, you are going to be the downfall of free sites

I haven't seen the threads on the other boards and frankly don't have time or desire to do so. From the sound of the tone they're taking...geez, that's just nuts

I may not be quite ready to agree with Greenie on the site width issue, but do have some ideas for a compromise to remain in step for submitters. That said, these changes really aren't that big a deal. "The downfall of free sites"...puhleeeze!
