You have info about doubleclick closing business?
Where did you get that story from.

Perhaps it was on "fuckedcompany.com" or something...

No. It came from slashdot.org. See earlier post & link.

Sorry, Paul. I've never, ever been a big fan of games. I rarely ever play games (in fact never have I on a PC). It just doesn't appeal to me, and/or I rarely find the time.

But saying that, I *am* a news junkie. And I can't go a few hours without checking into the major news sites, slashdot, news.com, theregister, scoureforge and more!

You can't be that short of time based on the amount of times I see you here posting fairly unimportant posts (in comparison to what you should be doing at work).

Not at all. I find the information useful. It's a very important part of my job to scan news headlines, and read in-depth about the topics that concern my line of work. I just forward them onto the forum for lurkers and like-minded people to pick up on in the hope that someone else somewhere will appreciate them.

You occasionally get a half decent article but apart from that I don't see the attraction.....they really need to give the site a makoever too...ugh.

Who cares? That's not the purpose of the site. The purpose of the site is to deliver information to the user. Fast. And it succeds in doing so.

Well obviously it does matter because I don't visit the site due to its ugliness.

If it had a slick design I'd be more inclined to visit.

But people visit if they are interested in the content.

Well yes I know, but design is extremely important and I'm put off by the cramped messy look they have goin on, otherwise they may have a few extra hits Wink

Ahhh did you think I was having a pop at Wil's site?

I wondered why you brought up my site when we were talking about slashdot.

Re: [RedRum] Blocking Adverts and/or Cookies In reply to
I gotta agree with Paul here. The design is crap! However, the content is actually quite good. If they worked a bit on the site navigation and design, I recon they could 2 fold their current traffic Tongue

I think two-folding their traffic would mean a big crash on their servers. You should see their load-averages now!
