    For the record.

    By briantologist | January 31, 2006

    I don’t know if you’ve been keeping track or not, but those of you with as little to do with your free time as I do may have noticed that the ads, which quietly appeared beneath the Flickr badge a month or so ago, have now quietly disappeared, except for the “Get Firefox” one. This is because having ads on our site is not worth the $3.62 we made off them in an entire month’s time.

    I apologize to any of you whose sensibilities may have been offended by said ads. I also thank you for not bitching at me about it. Our baby’s gotta eat, crackaz.

    UPDATE: Um, reports of the ads’ disappearance may have been premature. YOU SAW NOTHING! WE NEVER HAD THIS CONVERSATION!

      You have a baby? You gotta say something about it, man, or post some pictures or something.

      Ooops, sorry, I guess it was actually a few weeks ago.

      I’m always forgetting birthdays.

      ads? you had ads? I never even noticed. Not that if I had you would have made more that $3.62 as I have no money.

      See, popups are where it’s at. And plastering the entirety of your site, top to bottom, left-to-right. If you’re gonna do ads, c’mon. Do ‘em up right. Don’t half-ass it. Dooce it up.

      I actually just started reading Dooce, and I learned today that she reads you, so I thought I’d drop by. Nice place, could use some more ads though.

      speaking of tv, favorite news quote of the day:
      ‘police have no idea why he wasn’t wearing any clothes’.

      So, uh.. I wasn’t going to bring this up, but since you’re rollin’ in it and all..

      Back in middle school, you remember that one day you didn’t have any lunch money and I loaned you $3.62?

      Yeah, I’m gonna need that back now.

      Funny that Dooce listed this as one of the sites she reads every day. Way to provoke the virtual hate, there, Styro.
