What the fuck? I am so fucking tired of every other site with buttons saying "Live Help" and "Live Support" that are NEVER, NEVER NEVER online. The button usually says "click here for live support" and then at the bottom says "status: offline"
Whats the fucking point? To prove to surfers that you are incompetent, dont care and cant live up to the promises you make?
In my opinion, there is no better way to scream "I am a dumbfuck and should not be trusted with your business" than to put buttons like this on your site:
I avoid people like this like a plague because they are telling me "i care just enough to make a minimal effort to make it seem like i care"
