I will say this about colorful language like tits, etc. It becomes a crutch for
thinking. A short cut for good writing. I do it too, so I'm not being judgemental.
But it's just a fact.

I guess it depends on how they monetize the site. Is there a fee to join? You've got to make money somehow, otherwise what's the point?

Hey TJ - Faceparty would LOVE your new pic, I think. I would say that looks like a face party... if you're hitler.
|
|
Yes...link the site please. I love research.
|
Olivia, I was actually here first before I went there, just joined it to have a look around as i have been building my own networking site for projects, ended up having to build from scratch. And after being there for a wee while found it to be like the jerry springer show without the cameras.

Or, whatever its called.
|
Thanks, Q! Prime example why all of the people from facefoot should come to AdHoles!
|
PS-- shit... tits... bollocks...fuck
|
BTW--If you ever get cut off by the message length limit, just continue in another comment box.

thanks for comment Olivia, will see how they do after a few months will probably get another message saying they will be going back to that.

Websites are developed for 2 reasons: A need has been shown, and money can be made. They will still make money on the site - they MUST in order to keep it running unless they are funding it out of the goodness of their own hearts (which I doubt). It seems to me that their decision is stupid - because there ARE companies who will advertise on a site that shouts "Tits" and "Bollocks" - they just won't pay as much. So, no, social sites will not follow suit. After all, most social sites are free to users (paid models just don't do as well - look at classmates). They will be forced, in one way or another, to accept some form of payment for services. (Facebook got into advertising shortly after opening the site to the world - because they needed more money to maintain their costs). Most VC's require an income plan - most of the time that is advertising. So, the guys below may be talking a good game, but they won't be playing according to these rules for very long.

didnt know there was a message cut off in the comments, but basically they are doing as advertisers keep laying down the law I suppose, was interested in knowing what you thought, and whether internet social sites would start doing the same

okay the site is not great and below is the message that they sent, the site is faceparty, admittedly it is quite a shite site for stuff but nonetheless others seem to like it. message from admin Wow! That felt good!
We haven't been able to say "tits" or "bollocks" for 3 friggin' years!
All of a sudden we realise we'd stumbled onto this hideously ugly path, and before we knew it we ended up in corporate whoresville.
Our advertisers gradually demanded change... after change... after change to our website, making it impossible for us to say words like "tits". It made the whole thing suck. We used to be naughty to the hilt and get away with all sorts of mischief - remember how we used to get you guys to steal your teachers' staplers and post them to us for ransom?... or Grim Rita's "does my bomb look big in this?" rucksack?... or "Pope Idol" (which we launched the day after some vicar was found jacking off on here)... hehe. Best of all was when Grim Rita got arrested, cos she had you all send dirty letters to the grumpy accountant next door (over 250,000 letters - we didn't think the poor old sod would have to open every single one, just incase it was a riveting pension supplement. eek!)
Eek, we're sorry - we hadn't realised we were climbing the corporate ladder - honestly, it just happens without anyone noticing - it's so evil!! The money grabbers who copied our original idea (we were the world's first online profile community) kinda formed an industry that threw all sorts of rules at us and we started following them for some strange, unknown, reason. Yep, we became a bunch of nob-jockeys and we didn't even realise.
Anyway - no adverts means no rules. No rules means we can start to party!
Give us a while to sort our heads out and this place will start rockin' like an alzheimers on crack.
Anyway, if you care to join us, we're all gonna shout "tits" at 2pm this Friday afternoon, wherever we are and as loud as we can, to announce our long awa

Give us more detail about the WHY...why are they saying they are not accepting any more advertising? Do they have a lot of advertising now? What site is this? Please provide a link.
