my 2cents

I totally agree.


The reasons for this new design have already been slammed by many here, and all of the current rules are there for a reason.
From a regular freesite builder's perspective I'm excited about the possibility of more freedom, but I'm also very concerned.

My sales from the freesites I build are gradually increasing, slowly but surely. How will a new format affect those sales? Maybe freesites have evolved to a good level for creating sales already, and maybe any changes will see a serious sales drop.

Also, Kit hasn't been back to state how flexible, (or not), he's going to be with his proposed changes, so it's difficult to know how to react.
A split between link list owners over this issue will be a huge inconvenience for freesite builders.
Build two versions of the same site, or drop a load of excellent free traffic?

Ok
Let's write new rules in a place?

Slow down a bit! What new rules?
Until the driving forces in link lists decide what's happening there aren't any new rules. Greenguy has already shot down just about everything that has been proposed, and without more input nothing will change.

I would like to accept new free sites format and accept classic free sites for sure. Submitters will decide themselves, what is more profitable for them.

Greenguy - The God?

One thing worth noting I think:
I'm a freesite builder and my sales aren't declining, they're rising.
Maybe they could be rising faster, I don't know, but I'm really happy with the way freesites work at the moment. I'm doing pretty good right now, so from my perspective nothing needs to change. However, I'll happily accept any changes made and adapt accordingly.

He's not a god, but he is one of the main driving forces in link list rules, along with many others. There's a huge difference between respect and kissing ass.

I'd love to hear more about kit's new "2.0" version of freesites - seems like diversity is going to be accepted at some places which is great.
Freesites are what I do 365 days per year - well, almost, so I'm bound to be concerned if changes are made.
