Its all about giving back! Options

[micron]

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!

[StarryNightDream...]

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

[CloudUnionX]

Your right micron!

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

[Tal_Dara]

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.

[dmbrocks923]

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.
:)

[shortdude106]

and i got scared?

did u really get scared??

[shortdude106]

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?

[kevinma03]

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

[aj637]

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

[melface]

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

[melface]

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"

[ballplayakk]

kool

[Xk0rEaNb0iX]

[Mireh]

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

[army_dropout]
