I didn’t pay to make tags myself!

October 9, 2008

OK so I am really upset right about now. First off let me stress I think the scripts out there for make it yourself tags is a nice idea. I personally have used those doll maker scripts. I think its a great idea if you wanted to add a little added feature for your members to make a little something once in a while provided it was your original graphics from the start, not using graphics from another site. I think its a great idea to bring traffic to your site and potentially some new paying customers or members. I may even purchase the script myself so I could offer a little something here at my blog for my visitors. However, I totally disagree that it is going to “replace” my tag requests to make it myself. I didn’t pay to join the site to make the tags myself.

When I joined The Sig Tag Cafe, it was the very first tag site I ever joined. I even remember the first tag I requested, it was my Pogo Tag! I loved the creativeness and how everyone has a different style and technique which lead to me joining other tag groups. The benefits for lifetime members was “attractive” at that time. Picking and choosing the tags I wanted, getting a monthly pick for something just for me, and from time to time some tubes, with discount to pay only tags. Then I was moved to another site that offered all kinds of pixel tubes, Tinsel Town Tubes. My limit to requesting tags was knocked down, and the argument was giving access to this site with all the tubes. If I wanted them, I would of paid to join in the first place. For those who were a member at both, what plus was it? None. Then it was no longer picking the tags I wanted to pick to sign up by a certain date and you would get X amount of tags. If you as a member disagreed and complained, you risked losing your membership (and money invested). (Hence you can fight “pixel” hall). Instead they go behind their gossip groups and moan, groan, bitch, and complain that “members” or other site owners don’t want it. Then somehow WE turn out to be the bad guys! Trust me when I say there are quite a few of us little pee-on members who don’t like it, we talk to one another like grown ups and NOT behind a gossip group!!

Now for siggy requests, scripts have been purchased so we can just log in and do it our self! Does this make me happy? Hell no! I didn’t pay to make the tags myself! Seriously folks, I can just rejoin a bunch of memberships where the tubes come from anyhow, and make them myself. If I had the time and wanted to do that, I would not of joined a site that made them! Only ONCE this year have I had the ability to request my tags with the “new system”. OK so maybe this do it myself would fix that huh? I can pick and choose them now huh? What is going to stop JOE BLOW from making a whole bunch of names to pass out to their friends? It’s not going to stop them. What are you going to do police every yahoo, google, msn and forums out there? No way, impossible! Is this going to benefit the site owner or members more?

Well I would expect my membership will be canceled once I post this, frankly I don’t give a damn, can’t lose something I don’t have right? I can tell you this much WORD of mouth!!

You want to post your hate comments its your choice, however I have a right to complain about something, whether its about this situation or like Alltel who is currently screwing us out of $95.00 a month. As you can see I didn’t mask myself behind the gossip groups.

Like others who own sites who make members tags, I too have a life, and don’t always have the time, to be on here and when I do get time I have other things I need to do, and it does slip the ole mind to request tags. Hence the lifetime memberships. It’s not going anywhere, unless your only have x amount of days to get tags that maybe you didn’t have a percentage of anyhow because you have no choice and then you feel awkward deleting them because you know that person put that time and energy into them. I don’t stress when some needs to take a break, or if they lost their creativity mojo. They extend time to those who were not lifetime, so what seriously was lost? But yet some throw this up in the gossip groups I can’t believe members didn’t complain. No we didn’t complain, we understand!

I so much wanted to ask Katie, well if we can’t request them, why can’t you just make all the tag members the tags without having to ask? Why did I have to lose out on “months and months” worth of tags? I wasn’t going to put myself in a position of emailing so she could go around and tell others I was “harassing” her. Nope!

Enjoyed a little TV time

October 9, 2008

Today I decided to just sit on the couch and watch some TV, something I wanted to watch, which happen to be an episode of 7th Heaven. There are many I have not seen and I still keep missing Lucy’s wedding to Kevin. The episode I watched today had to do with a couple that wanted to get married who decided they go to las vegas nv instead of getting married at the church and come to find out the girl was a con. Wow that would suck in real life. I could not imagine be conned like that and how someone could even do that is beyond me. So very sad. Tends to remind me of folks online you know. They pretend to be your friend just to milk you for ideas and to spy for them because they are paranoid. They are only out for themselves. Too funny that watching that episode would remind me of that. What gets me is everyone around me “seen” it but me. Must me that heart of mine huh

Turning 39 this month!

October 9, 2008

This month I will be turning 39. OH my goodness, I was just sitting here doing my blogging and such, went down the hall to brush my hair and get dressed (seems like since the cooler mornings have come I have a hard time getting dressed as soon as I get up) and the gray hair I have and thought to myself OMG I am only 38… wait… oh no 39 in just a matter of 11 days. NO NO NO. OH man…. I am way too young to have gray hair!!

I have been asked, not by my hubby (lucky for him) about getting some highlights put in my hair, and well if you look I have some….they are just GRAY!!!! I know I am wanting to get in for a perm soon, I am missing my curls, but not sure about coloring my hair. Who knows maybe next year when I am on the verge of turning 40 what I will do.

But 39? Already?? How fair is that???
