By the way if anyone here is in advertising or marketing... kill yourself.

No, no, no it's just a little thought. I'm just trying to plant seeds. Maybe one day, they'll take root - I don't know. You try, you do what you can. Kill yourself.

Seriously though, if you are, do.

Aaah, no really, there's no rationalization for what you do and you are Satan's little helpers. Okay - kill yourself - seriously. You are the ruiner of all things good, seriously. No this is not a joke, you're going, "there's going to be a joke coming," there's no ******* joke coming. You are Satan's spawn filling the world with bile and garbage. You are ****** and you are ******* us. Kill yourself. It's the only way to save your ******* soul, kill yourself.

Planting seeds. I know all the marketing people are going, "he's doing a joke..." there's no joke here whatsoever. Suck a tail-pipe, ******* hang yourself, borrow a gun from a Yank friend - I don't care how you do it. Rid the world of your evil ******* makinations. Machi... Whatever, you know what I mean.

I know what all the marketing people are thinking right now too, "Oh, you know what Bill's doing, he's going for that anti-marketing dollar. That's a good market, he's very smart."

Oh man, I am not doing that. You ******* evil scumbags!

"Ooh, you know what Bill's doing now, he's going for the righteous indignation dollar. That's a big dollar. A lot of people are feeling that indignation. We've done research - huge market. He's doing a good thing."

Godammit, I'm not doing that, you scum-bags! Quit putting a godamm dollar sign on every ******* thing on this planet!

"Ooh, the anger dollar. Huge. Huge in times of recession. Giant market, Bill's very bright to do that."

God, I'm just caught in a ******* web.

"Ooh the trapped dollar, big dollar, huge dollar. Good market - look at our research. We see that many people feel trapped. If we play to that and then separate them into the trapped dollar..."

How do you live like that? And I bet you sleep like ******* babies at night, don't you?

"What didya do today honey?"

"Oh, we made ah, we made ah arsenic a childhood food now, goodnight." [snores] "Yeah we just said you know is your baby really too loud? You know?" [snores] "Yeah, you know the mums will love it." [snores]

Sleep like ******* children, don't ya, this is your world isn't it?

I don't really mind paying a small fee, but my issue is with how you pay, and then your anonymity has gone, and even though it will only goto PC/PA I don't like the idea of paypal having these details which can be passed onto third parties, such as those that may use this as a form of databasing.

So I will still read the posts here, but just not be able to post... which is ok I guess.

My thoughts anyway.

There will be options other than paypal for payment. And there are options other than paying in the first place. PM me if interested. Karen

It's a pretty sad thing, I won't be able to afford to post anymore.
ah well, should be used to these kind of things happening by now

I think you should definatly consider having at least just one advertisement on the forum, that alone would make some money, most forums or any concept infact that changes to a subscription seems to fail inevitabley, route of all evil n all.
I obviously don't want bill to start hocking doritos but maybe advertisements are a good idea, we see them all the time anyway, I've learnt not to pay attention whatsoever.

Well it probably for the best.... soon enough I will shut down my internet anyhow, I have seen what I need to see. I know enough to survive.

Peace

AND EXACTLY MINE.

I own websites and make a ton off of advertising. Some of my sites make thousands a month from Google AdWords.

I always thought this place might be a trap. I can find no info on Bill and Kerry.

When you pay they have you!

Goodbye.....

Good luck.....

And Peace to you all.....

[Myplanet2]

No need to shout. somebody worried about anonymity could send a money order or something. Going to be nice around here pretty soon.

You're kidding.... right?

Try the 'Ask Bill and Kerry' thread, for a start.
