Upcoming Sprite Promo
I wanted to give everyone a heads up on a new month-long promo we’re starting later this week.
Sprite approached us last month
about a new website they’re launching with the NBA. Basically,
you can map your profile pic onto an NBA player and watch yourself dunk
in virtual reality. For some of us (e.g. me), it’s the closest
we’ll ever come to dunking.
Sprite’s a huge advertiser, and this sounded like a pretty cool
promo. After much discussion, we agreed to put a dunking icon
next to the comment pics (you can see an example on the right).
Once you click on the dunk icon, you’ll be a few clicks away from dunking
in virtual reality!Since this is a fairly immersive promotion, we got Sprite to agree to a few conditions:
- The dunk icons will ONLY appear on classic users’ pages (Premium and Plus users’ pages will be ad-free like always)
- Even classic users can hide the dunk icons with one click, by hiding the profile pics next to your comments
- If you want to hide the dunk icons but still show your profile pics, just install this CSS code in your Look and Feel.
So in summary: this Sprite promo will start later this week, run for a month, and there are several ways you can opt out.
If you’d prefer not to participate, please just opt out in one of the
two ways above! Once the promo launches, I will post a picture of
me dunking for all to see…
Comments (574)
Thanks for the info.
Second!
Premium and Plus accounts are not ad-free. It’d be kinda nice if they were.
lol he said “Look and Fee.”
interesting promo. i see no reason to opt out. esp. for one month. and ads don’t bother me… i look when i want and don’t when i don’t want. gotta pay the bills!
yay
BITCHIN’!!!!
That’s pretty cool. Of course, I don’t have the profile pics enabled on my comments, but that’s okay.
awesome!
sounds pretty cool.
Wow cool, John!
I’d get rid of it, but I’m lazy. The icon will stay
Sounds cool, I want to do it now.
I understand the need for advertisement – gotta keep xanga free, right? – but I’ve become a little disturbed by the whole advertising campaign thing. They’re infiltrating our minds! Especially Sprite – Sprite has worked very hard to change its image, and it now sponsors several MTV, NBA, and other “cool” events. They’re trying to “get it in” with teens. It’s kind of scary. We say we’ll ignore the ads, but they’re everywhere! We can’t avoid them! Aah!
Oh, how awesome.
I’m glad that Xanga’s keeping it’s fair share of advertising.
Besides, you provide so many ways to opt-out that who can truly complain?
well i guess its ok.
interesting…
alright well wheres my cash?
just what does “dunk in virtual reality” mean?
This isn’t related to Sprite, but when will the new editor be working again?
a le a la gare si vous pleaz?
i wanna dunk yo. get with nike, so i can win some special “xanga dunks” those would be some awesome shoes..
i’m really happy to see that there are options for those of us that are not really basketball fans. thanks team xanga. you rock. as always.
great. as long as its not annoying.
LoL That’s awesome!
<3!!
I love this game
haha thats cool
harharhahr thats awesome man!
the little sprite man bobble head, i’ll own him in dunking!
ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i kick ass!
Can’t wait to see that pic!
xanga is soooo not totally ad-free for premium/plus (or heck, even lifetime members like me). We still have to deal with it on the subs page, and that’s the page I check out most frequently. Users who paid did so for a reason. I didn’t want to see ads so that’s why I paid. Even if I could see them, I ignore them for the most part, so there’s no real benefit for xanga to put them there.
And opt-out’s really suck… sorry, I don’t like ads. You gotta do what you gotta do to make money, but don’t go crazy on all these ads. Google did a pretty good job.
now, if you could put xanga heads on 2 teams of virtual xanga dunkers and have a xanga basketball game–that would be awesome.
Dunk! Are you just going to have sugar donuts of will there be jelly donuts, too?
plz make it less annoying…basketballs awsome n all….but getting tht in coop w/ xanga users?…sum ppl wuds be like wtf ya know..and ya like theres ALOTTA members out there tht dont hear about this site er any other info site thing..and there guna be like wtf…everyones gunna be like WTF lol
[ronak]
Having a dunk game sounds cool, but why can’t there be a cool dunk game for Paying members too?
Very interesting, but the ball doesnt match my site. ><
Meh, I’m classic anyway lol
Are you all going to keep track of who opts in, who opts out and who has premium and has no choice? Just out of curiosity? After all, if everyone opts out, all you did was make more work for yourselves, while if many opt in, it might be a good thing to do in the future as well.
I’ll turn it off if it’s annoying………..
are there any slam dunk contests?
Sorry, not downloading anything, since I primarily use Xanga at work…..
Aight Cool
wuzeva
I don’t have to worry about this (I have Premium), but IMHO the ads ought to stay in their designated space — not right down in the middle of the personal stuff.
This is stupid.
what if i dont want the basket ball thingy but i dont want to get rid of the pics of the commentors?
I know this is the wrong post, but I have a feature request: Would it be possible to add a “custom HTML” section to the Dash (or a “Dash Module” to the general LAF)? That way it would still “feel” like I’m on my own site when I work in it.
Thanks!
cool…hope it raises some funds for ya and I appreciate the limits and options.
Ha ok that explains a lot.
You get 29084187421 eProps for your profile picture.
Pretty awesome. I’m glad Xanga is coming up with better marketing techniques. Xanga get more money = More innovations = Good for us users.
Can’t wait to see you dunk, John!
Fuck that!
its great that xanga still remains free and generates revenue for you guys through advertisements, but making us go out of our way to install CSS code to get rid of something we never wanted to appear on our pages is kind of backwards, dont you think?
my two cents,
chenuine
Good thing I have premium. I don’t like.
hmmmm….. you forgot to mention that custom skins could remove the dunk as well. It never even has to appear. And don’t forget about the dial-up users.
thnx for the 4-1-1
Interesting Idea, and I thank you fro providing an Opt-Out
ok I like Sprite, so thats cool w/ me…
Advertising is REALLY gay.
cool
thank you!
That’s great that anyone can actually opt-out. Major points for you Xanga dudes.
How are we supposed to remove it?
sixed – forth
:/ meh.
thanks john. Are you the only one that actually gives us updates on whats really happening lol?
That’s so dumb.
yo hay i love cheering,basball,shping,and cute boys.so u can just talk to me.
LOL! This is so totally RETARDED! It’s annoying as Hell. Get rid of it. Ha ha ha!
No one wants these stupid icons next to comments on their site! Isn’t that neat? hehehehe
Wake up, people. It’s not awesome or neat or cool or bitchin’, and you *know* this.
-voice of reason
this is stupid, thanks for letting us classic users be able to get rid of it.
Meah–too lazy to mess with the CSS. I wondered what the cause of this bizarre, basketball-shaped pox was!
which part of “look and feel” do u install the CSS code?
cool stuff….
nevermind… found it. thx
I cant figure out how to edit the appearance of the promo, the other page made it sound like we could edit the picture and text. am i retarded? cuz i cant figure it out or is that not even an option?
o.O mr matt
no offense,
but that was deffinatly just removed from my site.
its just kind of weird, suddenly seeing this new “ad”,
that isnt really advertising anything,
in the actaul part of the page no less.
Thanks for letting us know…I was wondering where the dunk icons were coming from.
cool
Umm..Okay* haha im glad!!!
i cant get it to go away. ive tried putting in the CSS.. and it doesnt work. … could you help?
Congrats, you are probably some of the most well-respected people on the net, creating Xanga and such.
And, too bad the whole advertising thing probably won’t work too well with Dial up users such as myself…no fair.
heh.
ummmmm wat the heck. on my thing it says more from John uhu wut is that?
Thanks. :]
yum. i like sprite.
kewl!!
thanks
yay its cool
Hmm.. can we customize them?
hey john this is ya gurl paris you propped me who r u? holla at me lata aittte!
thanx for explaining that, i was completely confused what that thing was for.
thanks for the heads up
Thought xanga had caught some awful flaming ball disease….
Any particular reason this is causing newest posts not to show up???
This is annoying. I’m going to opt out.
oi?
glitch alert!! My post from earlier today disappeared from the public view, but it was still in the private view…. and it was public. I fixed it just be ‘editing’ it and then re-submitting it.
(But it’s still a bug, nonetheless)
The premium and plus users are not ad free. They are there.
I’m glad I have Premium =)
This is kinda creepy….
kk well i hope the sprite thng isnt for too too long lol
Nifty?
o_0
A heads up of something you might know: on people’s public sites, posts from the last few days are not showing up.
sweet
I thought someone hacked into my site and put that in their. You said to put the CSS or watever code in your look and feel….WHERE?
So much trouble to remove those dunk things >_>
Ok maybe it wasn’t that hard =P
^^^ i have put it everywhere I could put it, considering the fact my site doesn’t have a layout. I DON’T WANT IT THERE. I WANT IT OFF.
The code breaks the classic sites by hiding their newest posts. I think you may want to look into fixing something.
seremify, how are you getting rid of them? Any one?
Sorry dude, but I’m a theatre/arts person or in other words physically-unable to do sports besides dance. Also I don’t sports to associate with my site. Strange I know, but I want it off.
about the layout, you know those layout sites, I don’t have that kinda of layout. just the kind you can get when you 1st sign ^ with xanga.
i think I’ll give it a miss
no wonder; i was SO confused why that basketball was there. ._.
well I can’t wait to see your pic so bring it on !!!
Gotcha…
appreciate the code… wasn’t a fan of the basketball…
how about a users choice of promo AND only in one spot instead of by every freakin comment…
I understand you guys got to eat.. but come on… that was a little much…
Where in the Look and Feel do you install it?
that sounds really kewl
gosh, this is annoying… i think it’s kinda dumb. i’m definitely going to disable it or whatever… other than i’m probably too lazy, so i’ll forget…
why isn’t it coming up next to everyones profile pic? it’s only coming up next to some of them on my xanga.
i hate that dunk thing.
boooo!
but i love you John!
yayyyyy!
actually I like this idea, sounds fun. Is there a way for premium users to put it on their pages?
You should know that Sprite is a product of the Coca-Cola industry, which has been found to have sponsered the assasinations of trade unionist is Columbia (south america) and tourtured a 15 year old in the city of Barranquilla.

they should give us free Spirit too. that’d be awesome
nice ^_^
Unfortunetly yours,
Ethel
What an inappropriate way to fleece your users.
awesome man…
I really like how you always explain everything to us
great job keeping us all in the know!
THANKS ILL TRY IF I CAN FIGURE IT OUT
hey man, im not diggin the ads but can be comp illiterate from time to time…plus my friends are not really all that athletic…so its kinda hypocritical for them to have a basketball by their heads…im not sure where to post the opt out code in my look and feel, if you could help me out id appreciate it…
~clint
I HATE THIS THING!!!! My Eprops disappeared because of it! Not that eprops are that important, but Ireally hate sports-y beverage-y promotion-y things of any kind. When will it go away????
good concept.
it’s quirky,
but not terrible.
go promos.
alright for anyone who wants to know how to get rid of the promo…go into look and feel and at the end of your header put a space after your title and then paste the code…it took a little searching but i finnaly found out where to put the thing!
~clint
whatever.
I like chicken… But that doesnt have anything to do with a sprite promo, but I do like Sprite does that have anything to do with the promo, probably not but it does have something to do with sprite.
kool
im just glad its not some huge blinky thing…those get really annoying really fast, as in…they hurt my eyes….im premium..but alot of my friends arent. oh well…i dont like basketball, otherwise, it would be cool.
sweet ill try it for sure when it launches.
i won’t mind those little basketballs
Another benefit to premium I guess, what’s this plus your talking about?
Sweeet
It’s horrible! I don’t want it. I don’t understand the CSS thing. I want my profile pics. Please take it away. Thankyou
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I appreciate the heads up. Good lookin’ out, John.
p.s. sorry about the ice cream, hate when that happens.
i’m 5′ 4″…about all i can dunk is an oreo in milk…except i don’t like milk. i’ll probably opt out of the icon deal though. thanks for making that an option. (i can’t drink sprite…too bad it isn’t diet coke instead…
)
ahahaaa..that’s great!…
So many comments~
^^
^^ >< >< ^^ ++
Looks like a lot of fun. I can’t dunk either. lol
BTW, I have emailed you guys a lot about two web rings I think you should take a look at:
http://www.xanga.com/groups/group.aspx?id=1402182
http://www.xanga.com/groups/group.aspx?id=1733297
nice ploy to make people upgrade.
they say xanga is free
BAH!!!!!!!!!!
lol I was wondering how those icons appeared
not liking this, and I agree, the opt outs are lame.
I don’t want those orange thingies next to my comments. They can leave anytime now. Seriously.
i dont like it. the icon is ugly. but thanks for trying.
yoo I’m in.
that’s awesome!!!
i love it~~
thanks dude
GO SPURS GO!!
cool
Thanks for the help….
Well this looks like something I’m going to write the CSS blocker in for…that is, until you figure out a way to let me in on some of the cash. lol.
btw, an anti-aliased icon would be less ugly…the jagged edges are killing my sense of…idk what sense it is…
Where does the CSS go in my Look and Feel? I’ve tried putting it in all the fields, and nothing works.
How come you don’t have them turned on? *wink*
Sprite rocks!
Make the bucks big man.
Sail on… sail on!!!
Thanks for the option of ridding this travesty from my site. I hate consumer whores, nothing personal.
O OKAY COOL:)
I don’t really care, haha. I’m addicted to water.
awsome
that sounds cool so i guess whatever you have to do do it!
Sounds fun and interesting ! Wow, can’t wait !
Thanks for letting me know
i’ll be a part in your promo!
i am lovin it
DOES IT COST MONEY
thank you <3
i don’t get it.
aight
What a deal!!! They pay you guys for the advertising… and we pay more to not have the advertising (see: premium).
I’m still so glad I bought premium…
Thanks for the heads-up
u gonna put down the ice cream to dunk?
Cool!
groovy…
Its just awsome!
Thanks a bunch, those icons were annoying…M^M
Where exactly in the look and feel page do you paste it? What module?
ok
SOUNDS COOL
all right thanx!!
Dakota
How do I make the sprint thing go away I work foranother cellular company and yeah not cool. Love the picture though.
now that i get the dunks i don’t mind ‘em. i don’t mind the ads at the top of the page either….the only ones i don’t particularly care for are the ‘peer pressure xanga pay us’ ones at the top of my dash page
Okay – now I get it. That is why we had flaming basketballs.
thanks for the info bro!!
NO more xanga dash please!!!!
Ill never do that cuz i can already dunk it….with 1 and 2 hands…….lol
well its kind of cool
but they’re to many adds on xanga
but this one’s okay ??
yeah thats all
gil22
thanks for the info! The basketballs were seriously annoying!
HI MOM
I’m just glad to know what the heck is up w/ the mini basketballs beside my comments. lol I’ve been trying to find out all day long. Shouldn’t this be posted on the Xanga homepage? The last update on the homepage was like in November. I was wondering if you guys were MIA or something. But thanks for all you do! Cul8r! ~Sara~
“How do I make the sprint thing go away I work foranother cellular company and yeah not cool. Love the picture though.
Posted 2/9/2006 at 6:00 PM by Teluma”
SPRINT? Does he/she mean Sprite? haha. Sprite’s a cellular company now…hahaha. I’m easily amused. Even more so at the fact that the cellular company they’re is working for would read his/her Xanga, and be like “Traitor!”
OMG I have no clue what this is about because I didnt read this lmfao
<3 julie
cool thanks 4 the info
I’m a consumer whore!
And how!
gg xanga
i dont get it…………. wuts the point……..
your profile picture is awesome
~candy canes~
If anybody reads this, not that they will, because it’ll be so far down on the list, but if you do, consumerism is bad enough WITHOUT sprite and everyone else coming up with apparently “cool” ideas like this. the basketballs are annoying and my compy doesn’t let me change them, so they don’t come off easily for everone. also, did you know that sprite has the same chemicals as Coca-Cola, which you can use to dissolve stains and if used correctly, can eat a coin by taking off the outer layer and eating the copper? sprite is not a company for those of us who want to keep ourselves from dying before the age of thirty because of stomach ulcers. this constitutes for a thumbs down for you xanga. I expected better judgement on your part.
WOW ur so awsome!!!
*aLeXa*
unfortunately, if you ask me, it’s a stupid ad campaign, really.
I don’t see how this ad is supposed to hyelp Sprite make more money.
It just seems to stupid >_<
in short, it sucks
THAT IS AWSOME!!!!
ohhhh so thats whats the basketball was for….
unfortunately this message came out a bit late.. some people were not sure what the basketballs were.
thanks for the info john
Cool
i know that this is not related to sprite but will somebody write me a comment or something please i am kinda getting boared. thanks
my xanga is onehotlover or onehotlover17
and yes i know it’s the same one but i did it once and i did not think that it went through.
I have premium—and the dunk things are still on my site. Can you fix it by chance?
SWEEEET
cool dude….
annoying little basketballs..i dont want to download the code because i dont know how?…very confused and very meek.
stupid annoying flaming basketballs. <_<
Okay, I’m not so much for this.
thanks for the info…
i like llamas
Spankin’ awsome. Tell us when Coke anD pepsi decide to do the same thing, ol’ chap.
i personally find it freaking awesome, as i am a huge ncaa basketball fan… if there’s any way that could stay longer, or if when the contract is up a similar option could replace it, i would be eternally grateful. but still just as broke a college student as i am now, which is why i’m not a premium member. so if this theoretical new option could be available for us poor broke people too, that would rock. that is all. thanks!
Premium Accounts = Ad Free
To the poster a few posts above, I also like llamas!
Yeah, so I understand that you need ad revenues to run Xanga, but this is bullshit.
You’ve got the banners on the Classic sites already. That’s more than enough.
If we’re going to be greedy assholes, why not insert some bullshit ad link in between every other word on one of my posts, without my permission?
Go ahead! Just slather stupid bullshit all over my site.
No one wants to pay for Premium (because it’s not even close to worth it) so take it out on me by throwing your dumbass ad links all over my site. Hell, why not pull out all the stops and just replace everything on my site with an annoying ad link that does nothing but piss me off and raise my blood pressure.
Xanga just sank to a whole new level of shittiness.
Yeah, I know; I didn’t think it was possible to sink any lower either. Kudos!
And, yes, I know that I can use the damn code to remove the damn basketball from my site.
The fact remains that it’s a waste of my time, albeit a minute waste, but a waste nonetheless.
Thanks again.
No people–It’s bad && ugly. Basketball isn’t even the sport of America–Baseball is. Why should we allow some annoying little thing ruin our comments. The basketballs are gay!!! Get a live ‘Sprite.com’–Your idea is annoying–Your almost starting to make my comments annoying!! GET OFF XANGA. XANGA ROCKED OUT MY FULL DRAWER OF SOCKS UNTIL THE GAY–BUTT-UGLY–BASKETBALLS—-THEY CAN DIE!!! Lovve,
.MollyMarie.<3.
sweetness
Right on… can’t wait to be a sponsor for Sprite!!!
Cannon
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
It’s all about the green, guys. The goal of every corporation is to maximize their profits.
BTW: – I’m glad Xanga is so much more reliable than that other large blogging company…
………No comment………
“It’s all about the green, guys. The goal of every corporation is to maximize their profits.”

Oh jeeze, you think??
Thanks for smashing everyone in the face with your sledgehammer of obviousness.
I’m fairly confident that most people who disagree with this latest spoonful of corporate bullshit understand that it’s the goal of every corporation to make money. I think what bothers them is that, unlike the banners on Classic user’s sites(which keep themselves at the top of the page; out of everyone’s hair), this particular corporate money-making scheme gets thrown right in our faces everytime we want to read our comments.
If I need to be reminded that I need to drink Sprite or die everytime I read my comments then a useless intern at Coca-Cola (Sprite is a division of Coke, kids, so there’s really no need for anyone to let you know “…when Coke [anD pepsi] decide to do the same thing…”) can come to my site and leave me a comment about the benefits of drinking Sprite over, say, something that doesn’t suck.
Until that day comes (it won’t….), do us all a favor and keep the advertisements at the top of the screen and out of our comments section.
WHAT?
hey,
please write to me. i want to talk to people
Wow thats really cool!!!
thanks for the info
They’re not there anymore!!
Thanks for checking though!
niftish
People have to remember its not free to run xanga…and if they dont want ads they should upgrade to premium….
its not that expensive ppl! 15 bucks for 6 months is not bad!!
I must say the idea is cool… But why is it setup for windows only people? Couldn’t sprite figure out how to write the code for a Mac?
wow all these ppl think their comments will be read..LMAO
No offense, but that is pretty lame.
i think it is the ugliest thing i have ever seen, and it ruins the look and feel of my page. It pisses me off.
tanks for de info
HA YES I WIN THE BET!!!
huh
Dude, that’s a freakin’ advertisement. Yer cheating.?!
thats great
cool
Neat
Will this cost anything?
Thanks for letting us hide the crazy flaming basketballs.
woo-hoot!
Ight as long as it isnt a popup.
Pretty cool either way, though I got rid of them. Screwed with my color scheme.
yeah, nice how you tell us… kind of sucks for premium users. (no offense)
THANKZ!
TAG UR IT!! This is so scary. Send this to 15 people in the
next 143 mins. When you are done press F6 and your crushes name will appear
on the screen in big letters. This is scary cuz it works!!
I do NOT want that flaming basketball thingy on my xanga, and I cannot get it off. If you would PLEASE get it off, -ASAP-it would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks~~
DeMoN SpOrK
And I am really trying not to send flames- so don’t take this to offence….wut ever that means…..JUST GET THE STUPID THINGYS OFFA MY XANGA!!!!!!!!!!! >_<

</3

Thanks for not making it a really annoying promo, just a click next to my profile pic! And it is your site and we signed a legal agreement for those complaining about site changes and this promo. I still love this site.
NUH NEW KOO YA……….
Sounds like an interestng promo. I can’t wait to see your pictures of you dunking and I’ll definately have to try it and see what I look like dunking.since I’ve never been able to play basketball!
I whanna slam dunk!!!
That was awesome!
X3

damn that’s annoying…
yeah this is a very easy way to advertise without bugging us with popups. Please don’t EVER bring popups to xanga, or everyone will cancel.
i was WONDERING what the hell that was
I was wondering about that little flaming basketball icon.
that is pretty sweet.,.,.
k haha
i was confused.
eh……. wats dis all about? someone tell me i aint even joking.

uh….okay…. sure whatever. What’s another 50 adds a day when 3,000 are already shoved in our faces…
wow you guys are awesome!!!!!!!
Hey, thanks for the info, if you have any more, email me at cristiana009@hotmail.com
Hey, thanks for the info, sounds cool.
I’ll hang around just for that photo!
This sucks. It is just a scam to make people think they have to pay for Premium to get rid of it even though they don’t. It’s not like the banner at the top that you have to use javascripts to remove and you are not allowed to anyway, no, you can just go directly to your Look and Feel or whatever it is that you use and you get step-by-step instructions to opt out. But of course you don’t make a big deal about this option. You would think the ad at the top would be enough to pay for one measly little blog, but no. You have to put even more tacky and annoying ads on our sites. And then you try to make it sound like it’s a good thing that we have ugly little flaming basketballs next to all our comments. Don’t get me wrong– I love Xanga very much. It is basically all I do on the Internet. I am a Xangaholic, and Xanga is, in my opinion, the best thing since eternal life and canned bread. I just think that you guys have gone too far with the advertising.
well i guess xanga has to find someway to keep it going
jk i love xanga.. im addicted
hey you all should check out my survey site < lambtaterTakesSurveys > click itttt
the link dosent work.. here.. try this one http://www.xanga.com/lambtaterTakesSurveys >>>click itttt
Yeah, I was wondering what was up with all of those flaming basketballs …
Sounds kinda cool!
“….its not that expensive ppl! 15 bucks for 6 months is not bad!!”
Posted 2/10/2006 at 11:12 AM by cspunk
For Xanga? Paying anything for any amount of time is a screw-job. Xanga is not that impressive or life-altering. Why not save that $15 every 6 months until you have enough to purchase some common sense?

“I must say the idea is cool… But why is it setup for windows only people? Couldn’t sprite figure out how to write the code for a Mac?”
Posted 2/10/2006 at 11:28 AM by DoCmAjOr
Yeah, they probably could. I say that because I’m on a Mac and it showed up. You probably have Premium and forgot because you’re an idiot.

“wow all these ppl think their comments will be read..LMAO”
Posted 2/10/2006 at 11:31 AM by Jesustits
Well, since you’re implying that they won’t, why bother to leave your comment?? Duh. YAFD. <—-Good luck figuring out what that means.
And for those who think I’m being mean: Eat me. I’m bored and I hate idiots.
hmm. I appreciate you taking the necessary steps to keep this site funded, because I’ve enjoyed it for quite a while. I would request that adds on the site be kept to those necessary to sustain Xanga. It seems a future threat to the magic of Xanga if we have everyone’s page cluttered with adds to the point where each person’s message issuperfluous to the site.
um… what? glad we can remove it.
WOW, SO MANY FUCKING PEOPLE COMMENTED!!!!!!
There is a pop-up on my site, I don’t think it is supposed to be there, it’s only on my site and not on my friends. If it is supposed to be there, I want compensation.
hi~
I good to know, seeing all the dunks i´will get..
IT’S AS CLOSE TO DUNKING ANYTHING OTHER THAN COOKIES AND MILK THAT I WILL DO
hmm…..
me
Thanks for the heads up! It is always nice to know ahead of time and be given the option of doing it either way. You guys rock.
Lynners
There sure are alot of people in this world who don’t understand the basics of economics and why advertising is necessary for Xanga. There are also alot of bored kids who need somewhere to vent their rage and unfortunately Xanga is getting it. Great to have somewhere to go to connect to people around the world and not have to pay if you choose not to. Wow, what a concept, eh?
thanx for the info john
I’m in as long as I get to be Michael Jordan. LOL. I don’t care who I am.
God Bless,

I want that flaming ball gone and i want it gone now. I am fed up with this stupid picture up always there. did i ask for it there? no i didnt and i dont think i should have to pay to make it go away! I dont drink sprite so why would i want to promote it? i also am against sports. I feel they are an abomination to society. i want that ball gone now!
Thats cool!!!!!

I have a problem with my xanga, everytime i try to get into my look and feel, it asks me for a security code, but i cant see the code, a little whit box with a red ex on it inside the space where the security code is suppposed to be. Xanga has been making me so mad lately, same with myspace… damn blogs today, fix it please?
That’s pretty neat!! Thanks for the info.

^_^
Hey! I think it’s a good idea, and you did well planning it and everything. I noticed it before I saw the thing saying “hey, this is what it is” so I went and checked it out. I think you guys did pretty well with it. You gave people who didn’t want it the option to get rid of it. I think for the people who complained but still have regular xanga *not premium or anything* shouldn’t complain, because at least they have the opportunity to blog here for free, and the advertising is how you guys let that happen. I don’t mind the basketball icons by my pictures.
You guys do what you have to, and I won’t complain *until/unless I start paying for it* I don’t understand how you can complain about something that you don’t pay for in the first place… Keep up the good work, and cudos for your hard work!
wow thats gay
i tried the code. do you paste the code into webstats? i tried that but the basketballs are still there.

Hello my buddy….welcome to your new addiction….okies…so maybe it might
not be an addiction for you but one for me since I am a complainer and most
of my entries are complaints about something or another. So glad you left me
a comment today. Your words are always short but very sweet but today…it was
rather bittersweet but still in a way…SWEET. Glad you liked Sliding Doors
or I would have to kill you when you least expect it. Being good today….running
my errands. You should be so proud of me. It always feels good to start out
bright and early on my own free will and not feel like I am forced to get up.
I feel good…so hope you feel great too. -Kimmie

Thanks sir, for the expla… I read through the comments and have now concluded:
most Xanga users are dumb rugrats who don’t understand how the world works!
“Ads are gay” (ads pay for your free use of the site!) and “This
sux. f*ck Xanga for messing up my page” (WTF? It’s a small flaming basketball
that you are NOT forced to click on!). Not to mention Xanga gave you 3 options
to get rid of it…sheesh. Are all teenages such dumbass whiners? Who died and
made them the Al Gores of the Internet???

YOU GUYS SUCK
UR A SELL OUT AND I WILL SHOW EVERYONE HOW UR DOING IT
YOU GUYS SUCK
UR A SELL OUT AND I WILL SHOW EVERYONE HOW UR DOING IT.
I CAN’T BELIEVE YOUR NOT TELLING EVERYONE THE TRUTH
SELL OUTS!!!!!!!!!! I SEE RIGHT THRU THIS GAME
I’m in for the pic of you.
Eh they are out of the way, so I cant complain. Tho I’d rather NO advertisements… we see about 100000000000000000 a day… so i think I could do with one less one.
Oh man,That sounds really awesome…. Thanks for the heads up man.
sprite’s evil! boycott coke and nestle…
*~* make fair trade your habit *~*
whatever
Happy Valentines Day
hey how old r u im 15! I want to talk to u everynow and then! COMMENT ME BAK~
NIZE
R U REASLLY A SELLOUT CUZ IF UR THAN COOL;*
Thats cool.
it is so dum!! at TheTeologicansCafe’s site there’s a contest to name it, the name i submitted was “The Flaming Tomato”, 16 people hav voted for me already!!! YAY!!!
Where do I enter the css codes in “look and feel”?
The adverts are fine – But one singular one of your adverts crashes my explorer continually on the day this ad shows (No idea what ad as i never get that far to see what its for lol) But it is freaky to me as have only been premium free for a month or so – Its freaky – lol
hey hottie
who are you
only if u get me free music
i actually kind of like the icon. guess it worked because i had sprite instead of coke today with my lunch.
ok r u like tha starter of xanga or somethin LMAO well anyway that thing got on my nerves lol but o well buh bye
tighto.
ill be doing this next week.
thanks for the info
uhhh…..okay…..whatever…….
bad idea. too much. i hope they paid out the ass for this promo.
This is the lamest thing xanga has done.
its me murphy mallory /////what what lolol…got to go to my friends party
yea thanks for selling out to the corporate advertsiers, you’re a real pal. I’m sure I’ll be mindlessly clicking the evil ad every day this month…
Just don’t let this become a trend or I’ll shut my site down.
kewl
this site needs some color. may i suggest orange?
-patch
Hmmm. Very Interesting, thank you sir!
KirK Out
hi everybody!! i’m a newcommer !!please help me anyway!!!thanks
aiight
Wish everyone would read this info. I’m tired of people asking me, “Hey, do you know what the deal is with the flaming balls?”
I see.. I keep it ya!!
i hate premien or how ever u spell it i hate wasting my money so screw off
haha jk
hihi
Are you paying everyone to post here? The whole thing is lame. Quit advertizing and leave us all alone.
dude, you need to change that crap and give me more than 2
well all iiiht!
~ ponders ~ I rather dunk biskuits…
Well, as long as Xanga keeps the free option at least as customizable as it is now, I guess I’m ok with it.
But I guess that if I was actually bothered by it, I would go to the trouble to opt out of it.
How do I make it to where the dunk faces show up on my Xanga when someone leaves a comment?
Thanks,
Brandy
You know what? All these people complaining about the ads are crazy. You get what you pay for, and if you’re too lazy to fiddle with the code or whatever to get rid of it, deal with it. All you bums looking for a free ride are starting to become dumb.
I am a premium user and the icons are on my comments. This sort of irritates me as I pay money to keep advertising off … it’s not a big deal, but it’s irritating.
This is stupid and annoying…
that sounds pretty cool!…hmm
Ahhh!!! >.< there kind of annoying but I guess it’s only for a month….
muah! LOVE YA, XANGA!
cats
hey, if spud webb or mugsy bogues can dunk…:p
Thanks for clearing up the mystery of those damn flaming basketballs. I still hate them, but at least I know it isn’t a computer worm or something.
nice i cant wait
oks!
Thanks for the heads up
umm cool……………..umm your weird…………umm this site is gay………umm whatever!!!!
no complaints from the asylum
ha… that’s a lotta comments. lol
umm who r u?
i actually prefer this method of advertisement to those damn banners. sry but i’m 2 broke 2 afford premium or plus.
thats awsome
one prop to stand out!!!
RyaN- -
wtf do you mean ‘this week’? that shits been on my site for like, the past month.
thanx for the info
u must be the creator or one of the people who work for this site well thats kool props
I am not sure how to contact someone from xanga but to go to this site. This person http://www.xanga.com/walt_is_right is bashing gays, people of colour, jews and other minorities on his site and then going to others sites of minorities and leaving nasty comments. In my opinion, Xanga should shut his site down! Racism should not exist now days and i would hope xanga does not approve or promote this behaviour! Please do something to stop this crap!
Hi, not sure if you are ever going to be able to read this, under thousands of comments, but i can’t get into the Xanga skins part of my page, it takes me to a sign in page and when i put in my user name and password, the page resets and asks for them again. It doesn’t even say i have put in a wrong password (because i tried that) Any ideas… i’m a premium user.
hi john or someone person, juss dropped in to say hi seeing as you commented meh xanga. so erm yeah. my name’s daisy. and fob=♥ just like mcr. but my username isnt about gerard i just added mcr to my thingy cause they are the best band ever. -waves-
1000 epropz!
This sucks so much it’s not even funny. Sellouts. ..|.
i don’t like it
I suck because I left a comment here
thanks for the updating news jhon.
uhhh.. it’s annoying.. and i can’t get mine off..
okay this is offtopic but every time i visit a xanga i get this stupid popunder thing and it keeps freezing my computer. the address is www222. somethingsomething… and it really messes with my pc! what is it!?!!
it doesnt do it on any other site;; just xanga.
what the crack is up with the music?! it used to be worken fine then u needed MP3 to work it now not even MP3s seem to be worken!!!?!?!?
r u the one who made xanga? because if you are ur awesome
Is there any way that the Dash board colours could be generic? Are the colours all in CMYK.
Couldnt you have a poll on the Dash so that they could actually have feedback on there xanga
ok
Woot
why exactly are we supposed to care?
my cousin wants info about the jobs so write me back telling me some info about the jobs
hello
Hey John! Perhaps you should offer employment to Jon (http://www.xanga.com/jon) for having the grace to take a mis-directed job offering posting from your company?
Anyhow, if you have the chance, please read my blog. It contains irony that your company may want to exploit before it becomes the next hot paradigm in job recruitment. Not even big-name software companies like Microsoft and Apple have implemented what we are experimenting with!
Holy shit your popular. So you made xanga huh? Well I asked the other Jon this, but I have a friend in Oklahoma that needs a job. I was wondering if Xanga offered a stay-at-home job. I am pretty good at working with computers, htmls, and the internet, and it would be cool if you would give him a stay-at-home job, so if he needed quick help and didn’t want to disturb you guys, he could ask me. He is out of highschool, and hasn’t been able to go to college yet. I would like you to CMB and if it is a yes, I will give you his xanga name. My name is Kyle btw, and this mans name is Jeremy Potts. Hopefully, ttyl.
The Angel Of Death
wow… i feel special…
oh, and props for shutting down the aforementioned site that was bashing homosexuals and minorities
XANGA ON MY MIND:
Last night I dream of meeting you at a IT convention and you handed me a P.O.– Crazy weird! I’ll rather not disclose which software company I work. But anyway… I’m love my Xanga and happy to hear you are expanding!
ha ha well so r U da creator of xanga? just wonderin cuz i went to jon’s site and peeps comments sed or asked that or if he was creator. just wonderin ty.
you are way cooler than myspace’s “Tom”
way to go!
If yore the creator of Xanga… why arent you using member features like skins and such?
That is what those things i didn’t get it at first but ok. . . you are really the starter of xanga? because if you are i think that is totally awesome!!!
Becca
hey, some hacker made my site so that its totally privite and i dont know how to change it back to how it was before, because now no one can look at my xanga except me! please heeellp!!
heeehee the link is fun
fuck sprite. i’m glad i’m a premium member. xanga’s still cool, though.
Hi. As you know there are many roleplaying sites hosted by xanga. I am very into roleplaying and I put a lot of work into my entries. Someone hacked into my Casper_Yorkes_SP site and changed the password. My email is jessijulie@easyoffice.ch and I am still recieving the feedback reports. Is there any way you could give me back my site? I would really appreciate it.
Hey! Sounds cool! But does it apply for everyone free and premium?
wow thats a lot of comments…seriously….i mean wow….its like 0.0…yea if your the creator of xanga then you rock!
i think this is a boring site
i thought it said “show us your DRUNK face”… i have now been properly informed… thankyou.
Jon,
I don’t appreciate the advertisements that are practically soft porn that you have allowed to be put onto Xanga blogs. I have Premium, so it doesn’t affect me directly right now, but surfing around it gets pretty annoying to be looking at a naked woman at the top of every Xanga site.
there is no way to hide the dunk icon. the css code does not work.
you need a layout
Indeed, I am a pickle.
hello how old are you and how are you donign me not too bad just checking out peoples xangas hope you like mine cuz i like yours ok comment back dude
<3 melina
That’s cool and all and it’s probably good for you, but I find it kinda annoying.
myspace rocks.
I found the dunker things irritating… but I must mention it is an excellent way to advertise.. it’s not as big.
i prefer the banner ads myself.
Dunk Face is the most retarded promo I have ever seen *rolleyes*
If I leave you a comment will you leave one back?
Also, you should make a spell check for comments too!
hey, i have a question and i can’t find anywhere on the xanga site to ask it, so i thought maybe you could help. i know that you can block people from leaving you comments, but is there a way to actually block people from coming to your site? i see you’ve got a ton of comments on here, so if you don’t see this thats ok. but if you do, and you know the answer, a reply would be awesome. thanks!
It’s annoying but you get used to it. The month is almost up
)
hey
Hey!
could i please have the code for a drop down playlist for my XANGA!
wow
on the web-browser “opera” several weird things happen. for instance, sometimes pictures don’t load. the biggest difference that i’ve noticed is that it won’t let me do the “not playing, now reading” xangazon feature. I just wondered if there was any way to fix this or if i should just try firefox or maxathon or something. I love Opera but like i said, it just makes things awkward. any suggestions?
Hey, the mascot has been named Flanga according to TheTheologiansCafe
yeah. free should mean no ads.
i have LJ and it doesnt do that at all.
whether its free or paid. maybe its the server. i dunno.
oh yeah-and to remove the dunk icon-i had to put it into website stats box. then refresh. and voila.
Excuse me john? Well I’m in this rp.a harry potter one. anyways i can’t go on it anymore…..its said login failed or something……..plz help out.
what is the site where you can change eprops and commetns?
none of my friends like the the “promo”, and i don’t either (it’s annoying and distracting from our sites)…. but how do i get it off of my site? the little link that lets me change it just tells me that my Look and Feel is not working!?!?!?
k
and you are too cool for staying true to your word and upgrading us!! lynne and i are SO happy right now…hehe thanks man!! was awesome meeting you!
*starstruck*
that stupid b-ball on fire doesn’t even show on my page! it’s so gay!
YO WHEN ARE U GONNA GET THE MUSIC WORKING AGAIN. I CANT PUT ANY MUSIC IN MY SITE
COLLIN
hi John the creator of xanga but you need to like reinvent xanga because everyones on myspace now!
I was talking to someone on myspace claiming to be you…
can u give me one housand doyas
Random suggestion…
perhaps thou shalt see a day when you can build another feature into the guestbook. You have like, a ton of roleplayers on here, and a lot of us like to use our guestbook as a private diary type thing, otherwise I don’t think anyone really uses it… and if they do they’re freaks. Kidding.
Anyway. Maybe you could build in a side module feature somehow where you can display like the last four or five entries in the guestbook on the front page…? I dunno its nearly 11 at night and I’m rambling.

“Once the promo launches, I will post a picture of me dunking for all to see…”
john,
Did this ever transpire? (Maybe I missed it.) If not… you should realize that when you “will” things, a lot of peeps will always absolutely expect you to follow through. Any failure equates with a loss of confidence (in you, in xanga) in their eyes.
wow i am really impresed to see that pic u gave to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!….
……………………………………………………………………………………….wow!!!!!
here read this-Mommy went to heaven but I need her here today,
my tummy hurts and I fell down, I need her right away.
Operator can you tell me how to find her in this book?
Is heaven in the yellow part, I don’t know where to look.
I think my daddy needs her too, at night I hear him cry.
I hear him call her name sometimes, but I really don’t know why! Maybe if I call her, she will hurry home to me,
Is heaven very far away, she needs to come home Now!
I really need to reach her but I simply don’t know how.
Help me find the number please, is it listed under “heaven”?
I can’t read these big, big words, I am only seven.
Im sorry operator I didn’t mean to make you cry.
Is your tummy hurting too, or is there something in your eye?
If I call my church maybe the will know,
Mommy says when we need help, that’s where we should go.
I found the number to my church, tacked up on the wall
