Topic: Advertising? Check out pixelco.in! (Read 1274 times)

If you change even a pixel of a person's ad you should remove the entire thing and give them their money back.  

I was very much hoping to avoid anything like censorship on pixelco.in, but a recent "war" has gotten out of hand with over-the-top personal attacks. I'm posting this as notice that I intend to remove any attacks by name against another person. I hope to interfere as little as possible, but pixelco.in should not be a place for creating unreasonable attacks against your fellow bitcoiners!

Please note though: this will not cause you to lose ownership of your pixels, only the offending images/text will be changed.

Fuck you.

First, your post is unnecessarily rude and inflammatory, but you may have legitimate concerns, so I will still reply. You can see that this thread came out before the one you linked to, so it is pretty clear that I'm not copying off of him (and it may be the other way around, though I don't want to accuse him of that without evidence). I do say on the site (if you take the time to read the FAQ), that I acknowledge the idea of the original million dollar homepage, as well as the bitcoin gem, for inspiring Pixelco.in.

Your other point seems to be about the "greed" of the site. In the sense that capitalism is based on greed: then yes, I accept your accusation, I am trying to make a profit. If that's a bad thing, I think we're all in a lot of trouble!

If on the other hand, you feel that pixelcoin is somehow exploitative, I disagree. First, it is a very condescending attitude to assume that everyone participating on the site is somehow deluded or not smart enough to figure out what their interests are. The very fact that they are participating suggests that they consider it useful or interesting in some way. Second, even if I was running some kind of scam, it is not even close to bankrupting anyone: the amounts of money involved here are pretty small compared to typical ad buys (if you subtract hosting costs and divide by the number of hours of work put into this site, you'd find I'm making less than minimum wage on this). So it is my belief that anyone purchasing pixels on pixelcoin accepts and understands how the site works and whatever risk may be involved, and made their own intelligent and rational decision to participate.

Another one of these? See the discussion of the other greedy stupid dood, I'm too lazy to make a special one just for you (but this is okay, because you're too lazy to think of an idea yourself anyhow).

I invite OP to send us a request form to be listed in our next edition. We will update our request form section very shortly with our new packages.

Awesome idea! How are you promoting it outside of here?

I just bought some pixels 

just advertised on your site

Cool. How do you plan to arrange the sales of reserved pixels, and when?
