    Thumbs up

    What's with the ads and junk mail getting sent out under the name of Flash Kit
    This used to be a respectable place where we didn't have to see this kind of cr&p.

    At the very least if you are going to send junk mail to your users then use the technology offered on this very site to find out what platform they are on and only send then appropriate ads.

    Thing is most of us like getting the newsletter. It's the ads that have been recently been sent out that kill it. LOL maybe another revolt such as the bunny ad is in order. But i'm not suggesting such a thing. It's the American way is all.

    I want a completely error free, super fast, no cost forum with the option of downloading thousands of flas, images, fonts, loops etc and no banner ads, email spam or any other contact It was pretty irritating to get a mail bearing the good name of FK but offering a product I have no interest in but I just deleted it and read the newsletter.

    I think someone sold one of my main email addresses or passed it on as I'm getting loads of crap spam at the moment so it's a bit of a bone of contention.

    there is a solution...

    Read it online. Most times (okay sometimes they forget) it is posted here http://board.flashkit.com/board/foru....php?forumid=1

    it gets a little outdated though... ~grumble~ maybe Mr Starkey could push for it to be updated more often on that board? it is handy reading it online rather than emailed.
