[ActiveMining] The Official Active Mining Discussion Thread

[auto2nr1]

Ken was man enough to listen to complaints and restructure his company and give share holders a much bigger slice of the assets and divs. Everyone has an ego but I don't think Kens is any different to the rest of us.

Cool!  Then a logo change and removing hideous artwork from the front page of the website should be a no brainer. Yes?

Yes. Logo and the front page should be changed.

at the very least reconsider the splash page and use this (which I also created free of charge):

You/we have just witnessed what lewicki and ffssixtynine have had to put up with. It just aint gonna happen, and thats very troubling going forward.

What board member is jumping/has jumped first, i wonder?

[Ytterbium]

In all honestly, why not try every approach?

What do you want to try next? Sending the boys round?

From what has been said on here the Board have tried their hardest on this one and Ken won't budge. You have to respect that I'm afraid. So the best we can do now is try to improve the current site - which I believe is not nearly as bad as most are making out. Drop a few graphics, redesign the options bar to do away with the side panels and it is professional and clean.

I actually feel sick that I invested in this.

Sell now and buy some cheap Labcoin shares.

Cool! You should catch up on more than one page of this thread if you are intending to jump into a conversation because if you did you would have seen that's exactly what I suggested on the page before last.

Dude,  I'm one of the ones that kick-started this conversation yesterday on IRC you asshat.  Just because I'm not posting 10-15 times on every goddamned page does not mean I'm not learned on the issue.  I'm trying to keep this topic active so we can get something done about it, and we're not one of the few hardware companies that looks as if its marketing team crawled out of 1999.

If you want something that looks kind of like a mine and also high tech, images of the large hadron collider would work well:

StuartUK is an idiot.

I could sell but the price on bitfunder would immediately go to three zeros after the decimal point... I am actually considering that, given that I would still make a nice profit having bought most of the shares at the original IPO price of 0.0005.

Dude, you are clearly a pleasant guy. I'm sure you started this conversation yesterday because no one has ever mentioned the web site content before then. The fact is you didn't read the page before last where I said exactly what you then questioned me about. All I'm saying is catch up on the thread before you try and be clever with people on it. You won't look so much like a complete retard then.

Good idea.  I may do a little PS'ing tonight when I get home.  Then again, I consider my time valuable, and I honestly do not feel like wasting it if Ken is one of those who does not know good design from bad.

Too easy...

Terrible idea. Who owns the rights to those photos? Is ACtM now going to license images from CERN? Good way to spend our money?

Ken already has a giant hardon collider up on his site, the pretty blue one that adds Back Orifice functionality.  Chill out, dude.

crumbs is trying too hard

not funny

slightly disturbing

No idea what you are talking about. You are commenting on the Trolls again, all on ignore here.

Hideous artwork is gone, don't have a different logo for the site.  There you go.

[Stuartuk]

Nice one Ken, personally I liked your mine pic but not to everyones taste.
