That thing with limiting who is allowed to post to the forum finally did it for me. EC was a great idea but commercial greed has been killing it slowly. I'm at CMF Ads now. If it keeps on growing it will become what I had hoped to find at Entrecard. At CMF the forums are open for anyone, you don't have to have a blog running CMF ads to use the forum,Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06774385463320319572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421824649693109748.post-1717475719096727702009-04-17T19:03:00.000Z2009-04-17T19:03:00.000ZI guess you have noticed it... we have stopped dropping after watching the new system for a few days. We didn&#39;t like it at all. We are keeping the EC widget and do a few drops from time to time, we don&#39;t accept paid ads, it&#39;s not what we wanted from EC, to earn money. Hope to see you from time to time...

I reject every paid ad since I found out that the push off the ads that are already there and had already been in line waiting. So I reject them all, except the regular free ads that people buy with credits they've earned thru dropping....Pennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18183686802043157573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421824649693109748.post-41932997246637902002009-04-11T14:11:00.000Z2009-04-11T14:11:00.000ZDarn! Yesterday morning I was following my normal morning routine, doing my entrecard drops, sorting emails, checking my blog and online stores, etc. and I realized as I went to several blogs that it was supposed to be No Drop day! Alas, it was too late and I had already dropped numerous times so I finished up my dropping. I do, however, support your position on the Entrecard mess right now. Is there another way that we can show Entrecard how much we disagree with how things are set up now?Split Rock Ranchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18024537773861076383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421824649693109748.post-56559409781948961872009-04-10T23:27:00.001Z2009-04-10T23:27:00.001Zhi laane,<BR/><BR/>i admire your dedication and your stand on this.

This blog may be yours. But the whole system and its TOS lies with Entrecard. The only big flaw with Entrecard is that they are giving just too much freedom for bloggers like you. If you don't want to adhere to their rules, you don't join them, thats all. But why all these hullabaloo. Many other traffic generation schemes have far stupider rules than this. <BR/><BR/>All you have to do is to give time for Graham and inc to iron the so called kinks in the chain.Blogging Buddhahttp://adsforblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421824649693109748.post-45775125624221125092009-04-10T05:52:00.000Z2009-04-10T05:52:00.000ZOh, yeah.

Any reason for this? Ah, maybe Graham reasoned that some people purchase credits (from EC) to use to purchase ads. That must be why. Of course, for the last year, this activity (spending credits on Entrecard ads) was the one thing preventing hyper inflation. So, beneficial activity for over a year falls four steps lower than something (paid ads) that has only been in place for a week. I think a message is being sent.<BR/><BR/>Of course Graham did not create an algorithm, just a list. The Rev (moderator, had an interesting comment. Graham is approving all ads himself, and had not communicated with them in over five days! Rome is burning, and the fiddler is fiddling in isolation.<BR/><BR/>Beautiful badge, I'm in, I'll let my freak flag fly!jegan414http://profile.typekey.com/jegan414/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421824649693109748.post-82830190761551314182009-04-09T13:31:00.000Z2009-04-09T13:31:00.000ZSounds like a plan!Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08438547109236731873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421824649693109748.post-21534405069972554532009-04-09T11:08:00.000Z2009-04-09T11:08:00.000Z<I><B>"that someone sees it fit to break an agreement and displays advertisements on my site without my consent really makes me mad."</B></I><BR/><BR/>And, that is the problem.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'll support the cause, no dropping for either of my blogs on Friday.SOLOMONSYDELLEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17564768670896215900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421824649693109748.post-15107922454219915362009-04-09T10:16:00.000Z2009-04-09T10:16:00.000Z@Graham.<BR/><BR/>My reaction is on the entrecard blog, and will be posted here on the site in a moment.Laanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206799121622681828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421824649693109748.post-10808125179855491692009-04-09T09:44:00.000Z2009-04-09T09:44:00.000Z@Matt<BR/><BR/><BR/>I have accepted a paid advertisement, but it immediately ran and pushed backwards all the adverts that were agreed on a forthnight ago.<BR/><BR/>That just can't be.Laanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206799121622681828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421824649693109748.post-89187383830867803352009-04-09T08:23:00.000Z2009-04-09T08:23:00.000ZI actually posted a good number of suggestions on how they could make the new system much more fair to everyone.
