Adverts credit tax lowered from 75% to 50%

Posted: 17 Oct 2009 09:57 AM PDT

Hi everyone,

We have received some concerns regarding the high 75% tax deducted from the price to advertise on your blog. So for the next 3 months we will be lowering the tax rate to 50%. This means that you will receive 50% of the price it costs to advertise on your blog! The other 50% will be deleted from our system. This is effective as of today. After 3 months, if there are no major problems with the EC inflation, we will keep the tax rate at 50%.

Please continue to email us at support@entrecard.com if you have any problems or concerns. We would love to hear from you. All emails will be answered within 24 hours.

Oooookay we’re going to try to stay on track and keep this as clear and concise as possible. What does she mean when she says :

After 3 months, if there are no major problems with the EC inflation, we will keep the tax rate at 50%.

They Dropped the Tax to 50 percent without addressing the other large piece of the puzzle, The Drop Bounty.

Yes the Drop Bounty,

many of you who were here before the change will remember that the drop system allowed you to get a drop and give a drop simultaneously. this encouraged return drops. it also built up advertising booty, which they realize and hope that we’ve forgotten. alas, we haven’t and neither have they. we shouldn’t be retrained in the middle of the deal, it’s so Scurvy

now when you drop - that’s what you get A Drop In The Bucket; With a Yo Ho Hoe – into a Dead Mans Chest ..

Co’mon saying somethng as inflamatory as this is certainly war bait from our point of view. we’re not military strategists, but we did read Sun Tzu and apparently this is War.  we’re economists and we can add and subtract easily, without the need of a calculator – Cindy, you took away one ec and that started the retraction and mass migration within days, literally.

They think that our drops should be just that A One Way System

the purpose of dropping and leaving a point for the person whom you dropped in on; was to encourage them to visit you and hopefully if they liked what you had going on, to advertise.  We Must Become Privateers if we expect to survive the keelhauling by these scallywags

under the present administration advertising has bottomed out to the lowest point in the entire history of entrecard. Aaargggg Me Mateys – people are hording their credits more than ever. mostly because of this  Dead Mans Chest policy..

this encourages people to do more one way drops; only as a way to accumulate a single point and to forget the time it takes to comment; or spend too much time on your blog. apparently one ec is just not enough incentive. maybe two weren’t really, but they certainly encouraged more return drops – and ad purchases.

Aye Matey, How’s Your Chest of Eight ? full of doubloons or just stamped with their jolly roger ?

Cindy Says: The other 50% will be deleted from our system.

Avast Fair Cindy !  As You Can See, with the entrecard economy bottoming out and members migrating away to other blog social networks; pretty soon the value of the ec will be undeterminable, because it, like the owners is pretty much Fluid.  just a buncha doubloon hunters,,

How can they expect to maintain any standard of an economy if there is no elasticity to encourage that free exchange of EC’s ?  there isn’t a contest or give away to be found anywhere in entrecard – after Martin cancelled his Million EC Give Away.

Why ? Simple -

The Pirates Claim they are Dumping Them from their chest, but where mateys are they dumping them ?

In Davy Jones Locker ?

for these Swashbucklers, that wouldn’t work to prove value to their advertisers… They Need those Pieces of Eight

In Case Ye Missed the Sweet Trade, These Buccanners have  ads being phased in which are clickable – but blogs, without ec widgets; we saw them this weekend. we’re Corsairs, so we click 900 times a day Ayyyeee..

the entire dynamic of their management style is just that Fluid. they pass through with the intention of leaving nothing; like a flying dutchman in the night; pillaging and sweeping up as much as possible. that is pure piracy.

Remember, Pirates Don’t Respect Anyone – Especially Individuals

Pirates function as profiteers – by plundering and pillaging. we can see now clearly that this is the pillage and plunder phase. keep that widget in place matey because trust us, there is a wisdom to riding out their rampage.

these sprogs don’t know what they have, yet we do. we are the basic value of entrecard. take away the Bloggers and What do you Have ?

A Ship Fulla YO HO HOES..

Shiver Me Timbers Mateys, now lets pull that wishbone, cause it’s soft and pliable and we know it’s not gonna snap. Pulllll it till it’s stringy. that’s the only way to dismantle this plundering. let them keep whittling away their worth, while we network and become stronger. we need eachother because WE Are Strong – Single Bloggers are just a joke to them; which is why they worded their announcement this way; scallywags.

so lets see through the fog mateys, I can feel the time is right for going  on the account; for a long winter. lets plunder and pillage their coffers more than ever.

Lest You Forget It’s US that They Got IT ALL FROM

Yes Me Mateys – We ARE THE TREASURE, AAARRRGGGGG !
