Save this post to refer to the next time you lie about PayPal, pay per click ads and "demotions."

I was not demoted. Hardly... I'm actually paid now.

We've been so successful that we have enough money to pay someone to do some of what I did before (Editing) PLUS pay me for writing. I had my choice of jobs and took the one that would allow me to annoy you more.

PayPal is something many donation supported websites even today use. We tried on my forum but didn't tell the others to see what would happen. Like you, they complain about everything rather than ask nicely. We made some money but decided a "non profit" was not what we wanted to be.

Clicks... long ago I had people asking me to put banner ads in my signature. I wanted a fixed, monthly fee and they suggested I get a pay per click ad that paid people once a day to click. They sent me the code and I put it in. They didn't care who clicked as long as the ad was up and the number of clicks fit their ad budget. That was years before Google came along. Google doesn't have that cool feature to allow people to read ads and not count against advertisers more than once a day... I think that is one reason Google is not a good investment... they don't lock out their shareholders from multiple ad clicks per day.
