Clarification Requested (Donations)

I also feel it may be worthwhile pointing out that Bobo was posting yesterday on the forums about features that he will soon be adding. All y'all seem to be saying that he's dissapeared, and/or abandonned his forum, but is that really the case? It sounds like once he gives his admins FTP access, and gets the Google adverts up and running, he won't need to be around that much.

On the subject of Google ads, watch out, because I hear bad things.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Quoted for truth. Bobo has defied the expectation of the people who expected him to just ignore the site, and there's no reason to believe he won't do so in the future. Did it occur to anyone to wonder if the reason he didn't post for a while when the boards came back up was because he was hard at work coding PHP? Oh, and you know, living his life, god forbid.

I hear they've been known to refuse to pay out, citing obscure, and possibly spurious breaches of the contractual terms. In other words, I heard that they've been screwing small sites, so that they can get advertising revenue without having to pay out for advertising space.

It seems unlikely, I grant you, but I thought I'd offer it as something for you to look into before you go ahead. Ask around, and stuff. I've probably just got my tinfoil hat on too tight, but here's where I heard it first.

A lot of things I read these days tell me that Google are not our friends. Their famous motto "Don't be evil" does not seem to apply these days.
