I wouldn't read that into what he said exactly. The fact is I sort of feel similarly about it as pr0 does, but I'll add in here that although I don't necessarily fault GFY for taking money/ads from the tubes I will say that I'm doing my voting by simply ignoring those ads and have had a resolution in place from day one to never do business with such companies.
In other words some of us have minds of our own and have the capacity to simply choose never to do business with the scumbags of the industry without having to shoot one of the horses many of us rode in on. Capice?
I mean really, just playing a little dev's advocate here but ad or not, if they (trafficjunky) gain no new business from it then it's thousands of bucks down the tubes for them so to speak, no? Do I think the board made the correct decision to take the ad? Probably not but it's not my place to tell others how to run their business. I do know that there are one or two other boards out there who also got the same ad offered to them and turned it down on principle, and those boards are now reaping a bit of benefit by way of an influx of new members right now because of GFY's decision to take the ad. Will it last? Again, possibly but... probably not.
GFY is in the business of making money from paid ads, period. It's really up to all of us as to how we feel about those companies and if we want to do business with them or not. But in the end everyone has to do what they think they need to do. If taking it out on the board is the way to go for them then that's the way it is, which brings me to my final point which is --- if you're so far more honorable and conciensious than pr0 then... why are you still posting here?
