Re: Oh, the ignorance!

wow... doenst he know that visitors have to click the ads for him to make money. youd think hed know that more users mean more click and that means more money.

Re: Oh, the ignorance!

Wait, he's banning anyone using Mozilla products because it's slightly easier to spoof your USER_AGENT in it? Isn't that a little counter-productive, considering it would just make users of Firefox install the extension to fake their user agent?
Anyway, my little bit of rebellion:
*spoofs IE6*

Aaha, I figured it out now, his site doesn't render properly in Firefox big_smile

Re: Oh, the ignorance!

What a f*cking idiot. Seriously.

I have been reading the different posts from forum to forum by him, and he just comes off as an ignorant and stuck-up prick. I mean, he bulls*its all of his stats. Why? If he's right couldn't he just as easily win the argument with the 'facts'?
No - because he's wrong. Dead wrong.

Heh - Out of the 800 unique hits in the last 2 days, IE isn't even on the top 15 browsers to visit my site. coming in with a whopping 17 hits. Whoopee.
I went to his site and its pure shite. Who cares about him - seriously, this dude is a waste of brain-power. Oh, and air.

Re: Oh, the ignorance!

rofl, no, that would be horrible tongue

Edit: lol, I just found this quote of his

Both Opera and fireflee provide a way to fake headers and user agents. You've just admitted that yourself.  How is that beneficial to anyone but a leech?
CASE CLOSED!

2 points
1. PHP does too. Any chance he'll switch to using a programming language that doesn't? tongue
2. *fakes his user agent and walks right into the site*

I can't update it. IPS took over the site some time ago, and they haven't exactly taken care of it.

If that was the case, I would have to add a clause to the license disallowing him to use it smile
