Yes I Am Having Another Entrecard Rant
I have all kinds of rants this day concerning PPP and Entrecard since these happen to be the two I am involved with at the moment. So first I will start with Entrecard. Okay my first rant has to do with those stupid ads that cover the whole freaking blog, I am not going to do anything but click that red x and you lose a credit from me, maybe the other people that have and put the same thing on their site will tolerate it, but I will not.
Today was very stupid not only did I have numerous twitter things pop up at me from several different sites I also ran into a couple of things that popped up at me when I tried to leave a site and one told me that I hadn’t finished the form I was trying to fill out and the other told me that if I left that site all kinds of porn would pop up at me, if I see it again I will take a screen shot and post it so please check your site.
Now not only do I have to find the stupid widget that people try and hide from Entrecard droppers I now have to find the stupid drop. People hide these widgets among all other kinds of 125 by 125’s and try to trick you with all the drop here and all those other stupid drop widgets very confusing and now the drop moves all over the place from Entrecard to confuse cheaters…Duh.
At this point in time those are my rants against EC other than people auto playing their own music and having stupid auto play ads so they can make a few bucks, very irritating. I now leave my sound off because people really don’t care how much they irritate anyone else, they are very rude, yes YOU. All those widgets and flashing icons and favicons and things floating all over your site isn’t cute, stop that crap and have a little respect for others. I will do my PayPerPost rant later this is getting way too long with my irritations.

Entrecard is only a system but we human always manipulate the system for personal benefit.

I agree wholeheartedly. I drop from my Inbox, Favorites first. I only drop above the fold, in plain site. If I have to look for it, I move on.
If they have the Drop widget hidden among 125×125 ads I also don’t drop, just on principle. To me that says they’re hoping you accidentally click the wrong one. It’s like they purposely placed a banana peel for you to slip on for their benefit. That really annoys me.

Amen, Brother Ben.
And I would add to this “stupid non-working flash things that make my browser shut down.”

Hello bonoriau, yes there seems to be a lot of manipulators around, nice to meet you.
Thanks for stopping WillThink4Wine I appreciate you sharing how you drop. I think more people are sick of looking for EC widgets and I certainly don’t blame them.
