Dammit, Jim, Shut Up!
Dear All,
I just got this in my e-mail from Waldo at Nowhereradio. Looks like we might not have a free spot there to put up our stuff for long. I suppose I'll become a paying user if that happens. Anyway, here is the communication I received:
The company who currently sells the ad space for NWR has stated that we can no longer opt out of their pop-up banner campaigns, and that tomorrow (how nice of them to give no notice), they will be switching pop-ups on.
_
I will not have pop-ups and unders on the NWR account, as I have already dealt with lowsy applications and miss-representative ads in inappropriate places, not to mention 2-3 pop-ups per page. _At that time they said they couldn't do anything to control frequency, or which ads would appear, I could only opt out, and take a cut in the income. _So I opted out.
_
Well, now they say pop-ups, or nothing. _So, NWR has lost 1/4 of its income. _If you know of anyone who would like to place ads directly on NWR, let me know, there will be a ton of spots open. _Otherwise, I'm going to have to shut down all free users as they will no longer be covered even partially by advertising.
_
Ad rates are cheap, we're not here to make a million, just survive. _Let me know,

I don't have anything to advertise, but I'd sure like to see Nowhere keep going one way or another. Any thoughts?
