oh man I got this “wonderfull” mail today:

“While browsing internet I have recenly visited your blog and read few articles. They were great I must say and I really enjoyed reading (bookmarked you in firefox already).”
Cool man! Another one likes the site!”

“But also few thoughts came to my head and I gotta ask you: do you make any money from this blog?”
Oh crap not this shiz

“If yes, that’s ok, but if your answer is no, why not to make some? Content of your website seem to be very high quality and it’s not fair when people with very-poor-content warcraft related websites are making hundreds per month… Don’t you think so?”
Oh crap it is that shiz!

People like him are the most stupied folk around. I mean think about it…
He sells goldguides… I deliver gold tips for FREE… and he wants me to put up his advertisement for his 50$ guide on a website that produces the same content for free…
Yeah that’s going to sell… Ofcourse there are always people that are dumb enough to buy those kind of guides, while the info is free. But I decided a long time ago that you all are too smart for that.

I admit when I started this site I bought a goldguide, here it’s out! everyone knows!
Did I do it because I needed the gold? NO. I did it because I wanted to know what people wanted to know.
the idea of this site and the Back to Basics Guides is simple: to provide the information that normally costs 50$ for free. because everyone deserves the right for information. What you do with that information or that you are even going to have a look at it, is the peoples choice. I just provide it.

Perfect capitalism. Information is free for those who want it, it is those who use it that “get by”.

tbh I don’t know where to start…
ok well, go and read this.
That’s a post from the person who got me into blogging. And I was shocked.

It mentions Marco from JM2C.

Now I’m first going to tell my short story around this.
I started reading blogs around the start of 2009 (a bit later). I started with our goblin friend, and worked my way through his bloglist. At the start I really liked JM2C. Then his guide came out.
I said to myself ok no biggy he has a guide, just greed. Then came the banners next to his posts, Still i didn’t really care. The forums came out and I was a poster there. then a few months ago the adds started to form between, under and above his posts. That actually did it. It is one thing to have greed, but to disrespect your readers by cluttering up your blog is not my cup of tea.


By then I was blogging and doing the group therapy sessions (worth a read btw!) and I never asked Marco, because of the reason stated above. Granted I never asked Gevlon but that was because I was intimidated and well… you don’t ask Gevlon for 2 favors in a month’s time. ( The first was a link on his blog, which he accepted not because I asked but because it wasn’t terrible)


The last time I actually viewed his blog was a while back since I disagreed that I started a blog because of him (I started since I was scared Gevlon would leave the scene) That’s about a month back now and was the only time in about 3 months.


Now I kept my mouth shut, I didn’t mention him since tbh It wasn’t and still isn’t worth it.

Today I’m posting about it for two reasons:


1: he acted like a lill schoolgirl when Gevlon told the truth.

2: And this is the most important one: with that mail to Gevlon he lost the last bit of respect he had.


Asking to get a link and affiliate, nothing wrong with that, though very stupid.
But keep mailing and not taking no for an awnser is more stupid. And pathetic, wrong and “social”

> 1G plz!
- No
> PLZ?
- No
>plzzzzzz
- NO!

we see these kind of people ingame all the time…
Sadly enough we just found out one of them is hiding among uss…


Seriously… I support Gevlon to the fullest with this.
Your comments are your own thoughts ofcourse, and more then welcome as always.

oh and btw:

If you write a response… be man enough to actually keep it, and don’t delete it after an hour and 100 bashing comments.
