Jeez, just saw this thread.. Tis difficult to keep abreast of new posts.
Sorry for the news feed downtime, its been due to yet another fun member thinking it a good idea to buy false traffic for their domain, in this case several hundred thousand bot hits within 24hrs.
This got us an IP ban from google news.
Whilst weve been working hard trying to get this re-instated, weve been switched feeds several times in order to keep your sites up and running.
So no, we havent abandoned 1plus.net, infact far from it.
And no, the adsense code isnt displayed once every 5 views, its once every 10. This is well documented and understood by all, i thought.
1plus.net has been a labor of love, originally created solely for the benefit of the members here, weve made no money in the 18months since we began, the 10% page views dont even pay for the server and in fact all 1plus has done is cost money, tens of thousands of dollars to be precise. Therefore, being something of limited resources and no full time staff weve fire fighted several assaults, DoS attacks, server problems, traffic floods etc etc. It is therefore disappointing when people make statements like "this is the last company id trust my names with" when, until now, a company is the very last thing weve been.
The 1plus model has been copied numerous times and weve worked, probably for the past 10months or so to make a new 1plus.net. This is iMODO.com and were testing the platform right here at namepros in a private forum with a dozen or so highly qualified guys. Its not a regular parking program for if it were we'd have been launched 6 months ago. It is in fact a highly complex platform and something that needs to be right before we press go. It is also something that our root feed provider has been heavily involved with and their approval for everything we have planned and developed has taken some time.
We are also going to honor one of our first ever statements in that we intend to reward in some way all our loyal and long serving 1plus members... Thanks for your continued support.
