have you guys forgotten about the site?

Postby Dr. Phat » Feb 16, 2001 @ 3:52pm

This site used to be great.  i love the community, and  the design. however, it seems that this has just become a site to  host pocket quake.  the multimedia section is abysmal.  you promised skins in January, and you said music videos would be back as soon as the new sever went up.  it has, and they didnt.  so, why isnt this pocketquake.com?

Sorry for the lack of updates. The reason I haven't put the music videos and stuff up is because of bandwidth.. Banners aren't making me anything and bandwidth ($50/month max) and bandwidth is costing me around $200/month. So.... I'll try to have some superbowl ads up next week.<br><br>Regarding updates and stuff: I am going to try to get more devoted to this. Frankly, the admin backend to this site sucks! It's my fault that it is like that because I only had a few weeks to put it together. I am working on a new PHP/mySQL backend to the site and I will make the front page have a purpose. The add news link will become more integrated and the site will start to go back to normal.<br><br>You can expect all of this to be fixed within the next month. I am also working on the dvd howto and it should be up when I re-launch the site.

Would running around and clicking the banners help? ;)

Well... The banners weren't making us any money the last few weeks because they thought we violated a policy. Everything is fixed and yah. I can't tell you, or encourage you to click on the banners. However, if you have the urge to do so, than do it no more than once a day.

Probably because having the same PC (ip address) jump to their site 10 times in 1 minute isn't the goal of the ad. Believe me, they're smart enough to count only unique hits...<br><br>Dan East

Nope, your IP stays the same no matter what. Just like if you did it the same time using different browsers, its still the same. I know this for a fact as I am banned from PDABuzz.com ;)

I don't know about AOL, but most dial-up ISPs randomly assign an IP address from their available pool. Most allow you to pay extra for a static IP address (if you wanted to host a server of some kind over the dialup connection you would have to have a static IP address so clients could find you). Those with cable modems, DSL, etc., should have a static IP address.<br><br>Dan East

Oh its a big long story thats very complicated. I think the only one who knows it is Chris Edwards.<br><br>Well, the reason Im banned in short:I did a review of a Palm unit(God forbid, I know, I just wanted to review it. I actually DID have the unit). Well, I went very in depth with about a 8 paragraph review of it, the Handspring Visor Platinum. Well, I gave it a very low score, and I validated my reasons, but apparently they were not good enough for Wes Salmon (DaBuzz). Anyhoo, he took my review off and sent me a VERY nasty e-mail describing me as a person who goes around and starts little OS wars between Palm and PocketPC. So, I emailed him back, once again validating my claims that I was being fair, and that I am not a Palm Basher(Which, on his behalf, I am now ;) ). Anyways, after about 3 nasty letters later about my posts on his forums asking why he deleted my review, ect. I decide to bi*ch him out, and call him a *Palm Lover*. Now, if you have ever seen this before, you know how furious he gets. But, face it, we all know he favors Palms. So, more EXTREMELY nasty letters come my way, and I decide to take action. I change my e-mail address and go on a little subscription spree... In short, Lets say Wes Salmon has been visited by the Porn God ;). So, he *Called* me and claimed he was going to sue me for Internet Fraud. Heh, he backed out, and, considering that Im a minor, cant lay a finger on me. So, he simply bans me from posting on his forums. And, let me say, I am very hurt ;)
