As you all remember from my Welcoming thread (you did read it right?), I mentioned about takers - how they only know how to take, and never think about giving back. I realized something today - not only does this concept apply to you as forum members, but to all of us as a community towards Xanga (the dot com site).

Now Xanga has done some great things for us (Nod your heads everyone!). They helped bring our unique personalities online, gave us something useful to do on the internet for a change, and gave us a new avenue to make new friends, all through their free blog service. That's right folks, absolutely for free! Now I don't know how you feel when you recieve free things that you have done nothing in particular to deserve, but let me tell you how you should feel! If you're a normal human like me (I really am, I promise!), then naturally, you would feel grateful. Thats right - that means you would naturally want to do something in return (the keyword here being natural!) - because, afterall, we're a community who loves to give back, right? (do I hear a Y-E-S, that spells yes!?)

So what should you do you ask? Well, simple. You leave the ad banner intact. Infact, you should be so grateful you ought to be proud to be able to give back to the site you love! (Just ask yourself, where would we all be without Xanga?!) You see, by using a "banner disabler" (wicked! wicked!) you are eating away from Xanga's revenues, in turn doing them harm! Seesh, so much for your gratitude, right? But thank heavens! Since we're all normal humans here who love giving back, such a thing would never happen! Ever!

Yup, thats right guys! As my pledge to give back to the site we all owe, I have decided to pull off the "banner disabler". Now if you are currently using this script (accidently ofcourse, heaven forbid it was on purpose!) please do Xanga and us a favor and yank it off! Who needs them anyway! I'm proud to be a supporter of Xanga! So should you!

Be a proud Xangan - Be the Xangans!

*nodz*

K!

*scratches head* I guess it had to come to this
new skins = skins with banners

uhm.. so I guess I'll take out the banner disabler on that skin... uhmm I'll fix it up so the top doesn't look too disattached or something...

I was sitting here twiddling my fingers, pacing back and forth to see what the final verdict was. hah hah hah. =_=

haha alright
yesssiirr

That's what I've been saying since the beginning. It's just one little banner on top. It's not going to kill you, right people?

*groans* It can't kill, but it'll hurt heeeeh

aww man....lol...i guess youre right. ill take it off onc im done looking through the rest of the site.

yeah i guess it's ungrateful

yeaaaa.. i guess that's trueee =X

You guys all say so, but I only see a few who do.

oh crap i forgot...ill do it tomorrow, too tired now

-begs xanga banner for forgiveness- > o <

haha, that reminds me, once i saw a movie like there was this guy with his friend, who was a priest, and the guy farted, so he said to his friend "am i forgiven?"

Hahahaaa... that's Porthos! From Man in the Iron Mask

BP: Banner Pride
right here!
lol ^^;;
-aMiT-

Already took mine off. ^_^ Go XanGA!

um.. ok.. if you say so.. ill do it

yes the banner is their only resource to show themselves off no pop ads or anytyhing! and we take away their banner? that is wrong we should leave it i totally agree:)

I guess I'll take it off.....

aye

*claps* beautiful speech *tear* and so very true

Your right micron!

But I never used the code, you should be proud of me.

well yea thats all well and good with the whole "love xanga thing" but yea i personally hate the ad banner. its messes with the rest of the flow of my site and im not payin money for premium. I am a poor college student with hardly any loot to live off of. So hate me all you want but I personally feel it sucks.

yeah thats why i bought premium... i think its totally worth it not only for the tools it gives u, but i mean its nice to know that you REALLY gave something back to those awesome people over at xanga who worked their butts off to make something we all love.
:)

did u really get scared??

o yea... i guess ill take da code off... but itz just so annoyin, it bein der and all... lolz... o wellz, plenty of other people hafta liv wit da banner, so y dont i join?

noooooooooo my precious banner remove script..... oh well. but i wish xanga will offer different color schemes for their banners so i can choose one that matches mine ;p

ahhhhh i understand . . . no more banner remove script for me . . .

Yeah, I guess you're right... but the banner runs into my pretty picture [[sigh]] I guess I can deal... but, only for you! ehh... but I have seen with reading this, the ideas... Moving the banner down to the bottom of your xanga and the color scheme idea was also a good one... Maybe we can conjure up some sort of way to do this? But in the meantime, I'll just sit here... and stare at the little part of my picture... that is being practically RAPED by the banner...
[[breathes steadily]].... I will survive

maybe I took it to the extreme with the raped comment... Let's just say... moles--... nevermind... let's stick with "stripped of it's beautiful qualities"

kool

preach it preacher

Yes, Banner Pirde for Life! Now we don't want xanga going bankrupt now, do we?

no... where else would i complain about my life? anyway... my site looks weird w/o a banner...

oh brother....i want the code for the ad remover. WAHHHHHH. i hate the banner. *hits banner* banner must die!!!!

i agree... no more of that code for me!!! yay! power to the ... xanga!!
