Waks Ask and Answer - Part 3 Success!

Aug 3, 02:11 PM - and

I got an email from the owner of allstarfreak.org in response to my linking them on my Waks entry, they were polite and whilst s/he could have used a spellchecker it was overall a nice thing to know that the owner of allstarfreak.org decided to remove the shoddy script from their website (although in the future I should contact people I decide to link on such entries, just to be polite1). So that makes it 2 down, eleventy billion to go.

But what really made my day, other than my own ED page, were two comments left by an anonymous individual which you can read here and here.

The argument is that since it is not my script I have no business linking anyone’s sites or telling them that they should probably take it down. The latter being the most popular argument in regards to all this to date (I have been informed several times that if I wish to link someone else’s website I need to contact them first. Why? To obtain their permission, of course! And then, and only then, can I link them in an entry on my website).

Has everyone gone insane? Time was when I was linked elsewhere I looked at it as a way to gain a few extra hits, regardless of whether it was under a negative or positive light. The fact that the entry in question for these people was not overly negative, it merely highlighted that they were redistributing an insecure script and that perhaps they should maybe stop. Sure I didn’t manage to get Dan of Fark Oath (Jem managed to do it quite well), but I’d count any of these people removing it as a success.

1 Like hell I will!
