Do a Google search for 'nzd messageboard usage'.

*grins*

[Sparklechick]

You are a

I like it!

[styx]

Like searching for stallions and having our Destiny Sporthorses site show up before the actual stallion listing, or searching for certain chateaux in France and 'Mairenui's French Connection' listing first

We must be doing something right!

[amystery]

*giggles* - and it comes up before "the other site..." Good one!!

:roll:

[Sparklechick]

Try typing Sparklechick into Google as well.

I'm famous!

[styx]

My full name comes up first, too - if you add 'NZ' ,as there is a pop star with the same name

[Sparklechick]

If you put my full name into the google search it comes up with an article that was in a trade magazine that was done when I won a competition. It was brilliant too, I won an entire case of Moet ... it didn't last long.

[trogg]

It is amazing what you can find

Memories from McDonalds Kaitaia...

After 6 months, I was informed that my pay had been incorrectly entered as $8.41, when it should have bene $8.00, as they had changed the rate 3 days before I started.
What a reward for 6 moths service as crew, at $8.41 an hour. Woop dee doo.

[Sparklechick]

6 moths service? I wouldn't think they'd allow bugs in McDonalds!

[amystery]

I have been laughing :clap: and PMSL this am....and it's TOTally appropriate to this thread!!! I :bow: to the irony of it all!

How totally ironic, and how funny…..
We're not allowed to mention *other sites* in threads on the other site, especially other dating sites!!, but there are some really wierd dating sites in that Google banner down the righ-hand side, and they're CLICKABLE…so people are lead straight there, and off the site, to rival dating sites!!!!

Oh, my!! The *bonk* you heard was my head falling off laughing

[Sparklechick]

*wonders how long it will take for Kall to start a thread over there about it*

Oh right, he can't coz he's still banned. Dang.

[amystery]

I popped a little message into the Cynicism and sarcasm thread.....
*giggles*

[kall]

*lays back and lets the waves of Lake Irony wash over him comfortably*

[styx]

Dang! My Zone Alarm ad blocker spoils all my fun

I've turned it off now, gone to the other site, and I see the irony

Well, I'm not banned or anything, so might start a quick "Irony" thread of my own :wink:

[Sparklechick]

I saw your post amystery and posted to that thread to!

I saw that someone started a post about it and someone else posted that another thread was started about it but got pulled.

Hmmmm interesting ....

It's pretty hypocritical of them isn't it?

[styx]

OK, I've caught up with the goss - wonder if I'll get myself banned for insinuating that Webby is a hypocritical little snot . . .

[kall]

Even without the incredible irony we can all see, those ads are utterly horrible...the kind of thing you see on a really cheap site.

Over the past year the amount of ads over there has increased infinite-fold (from none whatsoever to one every time you log in), and it really begs the question: 'If you have ads, presumambly you receive income for these ads, so why do people still have to pay to access special services?'

or

'Why have you not implemented any new services?' or 'Why have you not decreased your sub price?'

I'll admit now that at some point, we will probably have ads here too, but they will be like the old banners that we had on the phpBB version of the site, up the top of the page...not down the side where you can't NOT be annoyed by them.

The ads have never bothered me - probably because I have at least two apps preventing me from seeing them :wink:

[kall]

Hmmmm..

*thinks of addition to the board policies*

'nzb, and kall, hold no responsibility for anything you may post on other sites, and would feel especially bad if you managed to get yourself banned for mentioning this wonderful place.'
