Justin:

If you create a section of the site called "Advertise" so that free-loaders like me can go there and get 468 by 60 (and other size) banners, as well as text links and copy, I think that would help boost the advertising of E-Blah. 

I speak only for myself when I say that I use E-Blah as a tool.  I come here to eblah.com once a month or so to see if there are new updates or bugs that I need to be aware of.  However, I do tell anyone and everyone who asks "where do I go to get a cool discussion board like yours?" I tell them, "Go to eblah.com," I say, "if you got a cgi-bin directory on your website, eblah.com is the only way to go.  It is idiot proof.  I know, because I'm an idiot."

So, please help me help you.  Give me a selection of banners and text links and such and I'll get them on my site.

Estwingr,

It is clear that you do not know who we are. We have supported Justin for a very long time and have a complete page on our site dedicated to the E-Blah message board script with examples, downloads and more.

The questions that we asked are questions that any developer would need to ask to find out what the client needs their application to do. It has nothing to do with promoting our own site. We don't charge Justin a single dime for promoting his script on our site and we have ads on our main page as well that point to his dedicated page for his script. We normally charge a fee for anybody to advertise on our site, yet we were and still are so impressed with his script that we do it for free. That is a lot of free advertising for him and the script.

We also offer free support for the script for any of our users that install the script in their site. How many other hosts out there do you know that will do that?

We have always tried to help the little guy when it comes to getting exposure. Particularly when we see they have such a fine product as Justin. We also have neve ever asked Justin for anything in return. He asked for help with getting the word out about his site and script and we did that. He asked for help for getting a newsletter out we offered to help with that as well. Normally we charge in the tens of thousands of dollors to develop a web site and we offered to do everything for free for Justin.

As a result, I don't think any of the questions we asked (which by the way were only questions that we needed to have answers for in the development of the design for the newsletter) were out of line.

The only stupid question is the one that was never asked.

MyWebTeks Host,
  I think some of your questions are outta line.  This is about helping Justin promote this website that we all use for free, something he has helped us with for free and that we use for free without advertising.  I don't think its fair or just that you use this opportunity to promote your services or your own purpose.  I do not speak for Justin or represent any part of E-Blah in any way, shape or form, I personally think its just wrong.
