Hacker-
The reason I was so adament about the way I wrote my delete this post was the way you started. You weren’t asking for opinions, you were asking for credit card numbers, in essence. Thats all. And although I would like to emphasize to everyone AND you as well that RANDOM means RANDOM, it was kind of obvious that this was an advertisement and to be honest I would probably say this board wasn’t the only one you posted this at. And the post itself struck a nerve anyways, as I have deep and seated prejudice AGAINST online gambling that will never be changed, as I have empathy for anyone who might pisss away his childrens food money or his mortgage for what is a sure loss. And please, I am not open to debate in this area, I will not change my mind. It is quite closed in this area. It is a moral thing to me and I think that online gambling is just a sham and a scam with absolutely no way of confirming verity or with any regulation. Without these, I am free to think as I do. At least with Vegas it is open to regulation and observation, something you are not. With Online gambling is all someone has to do to help make more money for themselves is to lower the odds and math threshhold of a win and knowing human nature as I do think this is one of the biggest rippoffs on the internet. Having said all that I think this post was good for me inasmuch as this; I think the next time I update my advertising I am going to remove all such gambling advertising I have now, I think I have 2 or 3 on my site, and I really wasn’t thinking about this as I was trolling through my advertisers list looking for the ads that would make the most money. I even think that I might have your advertising on my site right now, or possibly that it was one of the choices, it looks very familiar. And on top of that, this is the exact type of thing that has completely ruined the online personal ads, people that post their filthy **** ads all through the personals with all sorts of deception and lies, making the service absolutely worthless, and I don’t want that to happen here. Those people don’t care if they ruin a service that other people find appealing, as the online personals, and they are ruined and worthless cause of this. And that truly pisses me off in a deep unchangeable kind of way. They drop their ad and run to the next online personals to drop their ad, and so on and so on.
So, nothing against you, but it was the way you posted that drew my ire; There wasn’t anything like, I just made this neat site in Flash, a gambling site. check it out. Had that been there I would have just seen your ad, cursed it under my breath and moved on; But it was very clearly a come and drop your money at my site type of post and my guess is after you posted it you were on to the next drop. So for what its worth, thats why I caused all this trouble for you. And having said that I welcome you to Kirupa and hope you stick around for all your development needs. :rollin: And I also hope that Random stays random. I mean I have looked up that word and know its meaning. It means I could post flash 5 stuff in here, as it is random, an actionscript question, it is random. But random does mean random, as I know it means random. And please, I am not willing to discuss any of the opinions I posted above, I WILL NOT CHANGE MY MIND. So please dont go there. But other than this post, like I said, I welcome you. And I hope your not offended by my forthrightness. It’s not you, your service, its just a principle of mine that I seem to have broken myself by offering gambling on my own site. So, I am going to repent of my own hypocrisy and remove them and move on. Stick around a while Hacker, lots of neat people here! Also, as a suggestion, I would speed up your tweens maybe like 35%. Thats about the only flash advice I have for ya!
Warm Regards-
