Okay, so I missed the "In the Round" concert this time. I have a good excuse. Really. I have several sites that are hosted by GoDaddy and was having trouble with some inappropriate ads placed on my family-friendly sites. After several emails, I finally just replaced all my content with a running "Internet Drama" of all the emails I sent and the replies I received and how I felt about them. I even contacted Bob Parsons, founder and CEO of GoDaddy. I missed going to the concert because I was dead in the middle of a debate with GoDaddy. I know, it seems like a tiny thing, but I was on a roll and it's important to me that my sites be free of offensive material and my visitors be comfortable with what they see.
Good news:
On Tuesday I received a call from Alon, in the president's office who solved the problem by taking down all the ads from my site and initiating research into developing and implementing a filter that would allow users to ban offensive ads from their sites. It may be a while before such a filter is in place, but at least it's being looked into. AND my visitors will not have to be subjected to off-color ads.
So, let's pray that GoDaddy will continue this trend and realize they need to be sensitive to sites that draw families and children.
Now ON WITH THE MUSIC!
