About the ads.....

Guys, about the ads, I wanted to see if I could get them to pay for the site. But I'm also not looking to spam the place like vpf either. We have a nice clean look I don't want to mess up. So we have 1 ad and a toolbar. The toolbar is supposed to be a normal bar with everyday things people use like youtube, etc. It's also supposed to have our logo on it (when I get it fixed). It's also not supposed to change your homepage either.

I'm afraid your nice clean look is gone. It is worse than VPF. Not that you have ads, I have actually not seen any adds. I hate it when spam (and that is what is is when it will not take 'I don't want it' for an answer) tells me I need to get a new windows media player, but windows media player says I don't, but the hijack you allow to someone wanting me to get another download manager, reminds me of some of the shadiest websites I have ever visited.

It's only a trial, and I'm having issues too. The toolbar is nice, but it's messing up FF on my end. But all this is only an experiment. It's all easily removable.

This is much better. Came back and the site came up without a bogus media player bait, and I clicked on this link and came right here instead of an off site page with another download manager. Thanks.

Yeah, it bugs me the way it's done. The toolbar thing was a disaster. I was a nice toolbar, very customisable, but I had to go through FF to get rid of it. I couldn't see how to uninstall it. I don't want to be known for that.

I would like to find a way for this place to pay for itself though. But I'm not into memberships. Plus I don't think I have enough to offer to justify memberships anyway. Besides, if I start limiting downloads, and controlling speed I'll be compared to....
