Oh well, I guess even adcritic couldn't stay alive, no matter how much advertising they got.

Wait, a site that was "All ads, all the time" became too popular? And advertisers could track which ads were more popular than others objectively and exactly? I've always said most marketeers wouldn't understand technology if it smacked them in the face. Guess I was right.

Damn, if they couldn't find funding, slashdot's fux0r'd.

This will get modded as a troll, I'm sure

It would, except you used the reverse psychology trick that seems to fool the moderators every time. I fully expect to be moderated too hell for pointing this out.

So bandwidth's a problem? Post it to slashdot! (Score:3, Funny)

Hey guys, here's an idea: let's take a website that's shutting down because it can't afford bandwidth, and post a link to it on the frontpage of slashdot!!! That will show them what REAL BANDWIDTH USAGE COSTS!!!! MWA HA HA!!!!!!!

I was running a website that was showing Star Wars Graphics... Advertising doesn't pay, and a tip jar gave us 20 bucks in 3 months...
Yousa no shoulda use a tip jar. Yousa use Jar Jar. Ha Ha Ha...

I wish pop-up advertising would go this way. (Score:2, Funny)

Too bad companies don't start to release notices that pop-up advertising is too expensive to be worthwhile. That would make my day!

They made the Fucked Company Hall of Fame, and the comments [fuckedcompany.com] are a lot funnier than the ones showing up on Slashdot.

Dear Pud:

We're fucked. Damn.

Dear Peter:
Fuck you! Your site rocked. Why didn't you just make it subscription-only after you had the audience? Your "slow-bandwith-unless-you-pay" shit was dumb. Subscription-only might not have worked, but why didn't you try? Woulda cut your bandwith-bill down, and coulda made a couple of bucks.
