Seriously man, I’m one of many people who would gladly display a link to an AUTHOR’S site since they’ve did most of the hard graft in designing a theme I’m willing to use, which of course improves their sites link popularity enabling them to generate ad revenue from THEIR SITE, but when you FORCE people to display ads on their site – I can’t talk for anyone else but it makes me more determined than ever to decode that rubbish and not give any credit whatsoever!

Oh I’m sorry, I’ll rephrase the “FORCE people to display ads”. It’s more a case of “well you’ve spent a lot of time – and possibly money if you don’t have internet at home – working on a magnificent site and now you want to get rid of that rubbish at the bottom. Well tough because I say it stays, if you don’t like start from scratch with someone elses theme!”…

I did admire you for posting that decode post but this post makes it sound completely hypocritical!
