That did not sound like a helpful suggestion, "GIVE THE IMPRESSION of a classy operation" ... I don't think I misread that.

HOWEVER, my reply to you was NOT a tit-for-tat, was a statement of fact... If you wished to give an opinion on the site that you perceived as helpful I doubt you'd put in words like the above in "IMPRESSION", which to me implies you are saying that the operation is NOT professional, but if we pay someone enough money we can pretend to be.

Actually my reply was quite nice even though I read yours as more an INSULT than a valid critique.

As for "You're main page looks like a circle jerk... i mean you must be making a little money off of this but a retailer that hides the entrance to his site like a CJ???" what part of the warning entrance page has you so confused about where to enter, is it:

<center><FONT SIZE=+2><B><U><FONT FACE="helvetica"><FONT COLOR="aqua">ENTER<br>LINK AT VERY BOTTOM OF PAGE</FONT></FONT></U></B></FONT></center>

Then a table in a different colour background with some link exchanges and then at the bottom of the page as stated above there is the link:

<center><FONT FACE="helvetica"><FONT SIZE=+2><U><FONT COLOR="aqua">I AM 18 OR OLDER AND WISH TO</font><br><font color="yellow"><B>ENTER</B></FONT></U></FONT></FONT></center>

Seems pretty straight forward to me.

Btw the main url warning page isn't pretty,(it however is NOT confusing either) haven't gotten around to styling it up as yet, HOWEVER affiliates that sign up to join the program don't go through this warning page... They can make their own, or link straight into their own store which they can customise HOWEVER THEY WISH... The default store that they receive doesn't even look like my main one... Did you even look at the NEW SAMPLE STOREFRONT on the http://sextoysinternational.com/join/index.shtml page??

You talk about pissing matches yet my previous reply was not one, however if we get into a discussion about people talking condescendingly to others then I could easily supply your name after reading both of your posts and especially this last one.

What is this, "once again - font choice.. hell i see you've even used comic sans in there.. oh dear..
look don't start pissing on me by trying to help you out.. especially when your opinion is derived from building sites like that.."

And you have the audacity to *sigh* on this last reply to me... Now that in itself is just plain funny... And notice that even though I should be pissed at the way you have posted I AM NOT pissing still... Though I did drink a lot of water before I started typing this reply so I do need type faster else I may end up pissing

Would one seeking a pissing match include light hearted humour as above... Of course not.

But just because I'm not into pissing doesn't mean that I can't reply to a post that is directed at myself or a site that I control.

And here's how you try to finish off your last posting to me "hell get hungryman or amp to help you out.. you need it."

If anything I should be writing *sigh* for your posts and taking even more offence at how you reply in regards to my last post with such childish and condescending immature swipes... But I won't

As for white writing on a pink background, that is for the affiliate signup page and the background is not a flat pink, but a jpg background, this text is perfectly legible,(cepting 2 little orange bits to help with the engines only and should be barely noticeable).

And the main site has dark coloured writing on a light powder blue snow jpg background.

As for font choices the idea isn't always to have ones sites in the running for the most aesthetically pleasing, but rather to get clicks and get sales, I get a sale out of every few customers to this store,(I say customers, rather than uniques, because more often than not each unique becomes a customer) if they don't buy from the store then they will have usually been enticed by my advertising and some of this "OH DEAR" Comic text into clicking numerous ads,(Not by being tricked, but rather by being INTRIGUED & ENTICED) and end up as a sale for one of the advertisers that I run on this site.

I make money even if they don't buy what they originally came seeking to purchase... I think that's a pretty good deal

Full of water and still not pissed on you... Am busting like you wouldn't believe... but OH NO... I've still been nice to you

Later, RIPP
