And they DON'T dump a ton of ads on the results page. This includes free services that parse a web site into a search engine function. (May I suggest searching with scroogle, ixquick, or ask?) I'm suspicious that you seem not aware of any free sevice outside of the ever-ubiquitous Google.
$100? You're asking for $100/month just to get rid of Google ads? Something's fishy with your approach. No one's gonna go for that; in fact you just make your online associates somewhat wary as to your real intentions, and your so-called programming "expertise". (And, I might add, DIMINISHING Mobile Read's reputation in the process.)
I just checked out your web page, and I was, to be honest, vastly underwhelmed. It's a terribly amateurish attempt at webmastering, which is no big deal except on that site, you offer your web building services based on your supposedly advanced skills in HTML and CSS. I seriously doubt anyone will take you up on that, or that anyone ever has.
Let's see: Someone else NOT part of your clique, announces here, a replacement forum for Entourage's own forum that would soon end. So you promptly attack and accuse me (the new forum's creator) of trying to sabotage the eDGe community. And of course, some of your equally-juvenile cohorts join in, attempting to flood my threads with insults and garbage, which would frighten away most potential members. I have since moved these obnoxious comments to its own forum called "Trollitorium" for anyone to peruse your foolishness, here:
http://bedgehackersforum.runboard.com/f9
Now, you're setting up your OWN eDGe support service, and already talking about $$$. How pathetically transparent of you! You don't want any free eDGe support popping up, as it might cut into your scheme to squeeze money from the wallets of disenfranchised Dualbook customers. So you do what you can to destroy them. I just made it too easy for you, by naively announcing my new board here at Mobile Read and at Entourage...never dreaming that such a nasty cabal embedded itself in both locations.
I'm so glad I've decided to ban you and your monkey clique via IP number, as well as username! What a bunch of babbling, bogus-boasting baboons!

please read my post.
I know I shouldn't respond, but I'm getting a little tired of this. I've been trying to ignore the hateful posts by you and your friends, but its a little hard to at this point(and I can't find that ignore button

).
1. The $100 is google's price for removing the ad's(take it up with them), not mine, and I honestly don't expect anyone to donate money. As I said, the ad money would go into hosting(if I made any), but I honestly don't expect it to pay much at all, in fact I encourage the use of Ad Block Plus on my site(and any other).
2. none of those sites you link to offer a custom, embeddable search engine function(at least none that I could see), which is what I really want/need. If you or anyone else finds me one that I can set up in a small amount of time I'm all ears!
3. none of those search engines have the forums indexed(I'm currently waiting on google to do this).
4. I don't see how the look/feel of my own site has anything to do with this, and I've never claimed to be good at HTML/CSS, in fact I've done quite the opposite.
5. I've never offered a support service, nor will I, my support is free as long as I'm willing to help you on the forums(I'll help with problems that intrigue me, and pretty much every other one).
6. Your problems on YOUR site have nothing to do with this board, a moderator has already made this clear.
7. Your problems with google have nothing to do with this topic.
I'm going to notify a mod of your post(just letting you know)...
Oh, and there is a user on your forum who wants to know if anyone is backing up the support and there is in fact, I'm not going to say who(given how I was greeted with mine I don't know if they would want to lol), but they're working on it.
