Its pretty easy to see that there is/was an alternate motive besides just being to talk about pwnboxer now. Me thinks Lax had financial incentive and or DB.com from pwnboxer ? hmm... nah

Only time will tell when we see a pwnboxer tab that links to his site at the top of DB. Did it cost extra for ISboxer to have "Premium MMORPG Boxing software" in its title as opposed to Keyclone?

I am probably way off base though in my thinking.

Well I just wish you guys would have just come out and said that instead of saying "its just good for the mutiboxing community to discuss all platforms" bullshit. As the change to the members is at best a byproduct of DB getting paid. Yay! for us, thanks for thinking about the DB community.

While I think its fine that DB.com can get paid to off set their costs. I think it was total fucking bush league the way it was explained . I was born, but it wasn't yesterday.

This is correct. You are way off base.

Dual-Boxing currently has 3 methods of Income. Google ads that get displayed to users that are not logged in, Keyclone referrals, and from ISBoxer. I'm pretty sure I've explained our income sources before in another post. Pwnboxer does not financially support this site. If Ellay was going to take money from Pwnboxer, he would have done it a long time ago, but he's always refused.

Did Lax pay extra for the anchor text in his link in the menu? Not at all. I changed that without consulting Ellay or Lax. Check this out, go to http://www.isboxer.com Right click on the page and click "View Source". Go look for the the Title Tags.

Code:
<title>ISBoxer: premium MMORPG multiboxing software</title>
Now lets look at our menu code...

Code:
<a href="http://www.isboxer.com/dual-boxing">ISBoxer: Premium MMORPG Multiboxing Software</a>
The change was purely from a marketing perspective. No paranoia, tinfoil hats, or bad mel gibson movies were involved.


Now you're certainly entitled to your opinion and your paranoia. But I would ask that you keep it to yourself or come ask me directly. As I've said many times before, I have absolutely no financial stake in dual-boxing.com I get paid the same amount today that I did yesterday, in fact, I got a RAISE from yesterday. 100% Raise times the $0.00 I was making brings me up to $0.00! AMAZING!

I'm here for the community. Ellay is here for the community and if the site makes a profit, then hey, it's paying HIM back for the years it didn't. I know with some precision what our income numbers are. Ellay isn't in on some island with an umbrella drink going LOLDUAL-BOXING.COM.

The only financial gain Lax could have for dual-boxing.com discussing Pwnboxer is more people would see how shitty Pwnboxer is compared to ISBoxer, and thus become ISBoxer users. So if we allow Pwnboxer discussions here it could translate to more customers for Lax, who is the major monetary contributor to dual-boxing.com. I'm not understanding the down side here. But alas, this was not the only reason we made the change. Believe it or not, everything I've said in this thread is how I feel / what I believe. You don't have to like it, just don't hate on it.
