Hey guys, if you need any support for firefox just remember that they have it if you need help upgrading to FF3.

Try that from microsoft. Haha!

Yeah, spam was up this holiday season because people were a) checking email more often and b) buying more stuff online.

Spammers need holiday sales too! 

I recently tried out wordpress, automatically assuming it would be just like phpBB - overused and lack of features. I was in for a surprise. I have since fallen in love with wordpress and my custom skin, and have started making my own mods (plugins as the WP community calls them)

I never even had to move back, XP Pro all the way.

LOL at the "tivo for youtube" comment.

The popup has long died on any genuine website. The only sites I still see them on are annoying websites like game or lyric sites. Popups have been dead for quite some time, but the publishers would not hear it until all their users simply packed up and left.

What was the final kill to popup marketing? IE having a built in blocker. That hit the nail on the head and killed it once and for all.

Huge ditto to that. I automatically go to the end where the big bold red text is, then moved back up and got overwhelmed by everything all over and closed the page.

You may want to try to simplify your site a bit even.

Haha, very creative name for sure. My spitURL is number 2!

Because it was a total failure.


@ topic starter:


The site is nice, but the design is just terrible.
Try to make the black part of the arcade be transparent, so its just a pacman.



Also, your ad section looks HORRID. You should make it centered and blend in with the rest of the site, instead of a bland old boring div table.



The site needs a makeover, too bland and boring. Try to spiff it up with Windows 7 colors.

Would you care to talk more on that? I have never ever heard that, and if it is true many sites out there must have bad SEO.

Just last night I heard my very first ad on a website by their system. Sure, the ads are short and quick (~3 sec) but none the less it scared the pants off me when I was checking email at 11PM and suddenly heard noise from a website I clicked to, and then as sudden as it started it went away. Poof. No way to replay it either to hear what the advertised website was.

New adsense change:

So, no privacy policy for your website = no adsense ads!

It is somewhat of a well known fact that ads blending in tend to get far more clicks. Even google advises you to make ads look like the page they are on - to a point. Make sure to read the TOS very well when you try to blend in your ads. Here are some highlights when you consider it:

Good luck with adsense and your new site!

Can you do us a favor and put it all in the code tag, that way we will not lose the formatting of it orignal state. Even better, put it at a site such as  php.pastebin.com --- this will highlight the syntax and make any error stick out a bit more.

Exactly. Remember, the default file for most web servers if there is no page directly typed in is index.html (in the old days, home.html worked as well)


It is possible to change it by making a .htaccess file in every directory with what you want the page to be, however that will only redirect them. It is best to name the home file just index.html -- they will still be able to go to the page.
