Just thought
I'd point out that if you wish to phone PSM2's
Advertising department you can at 01225 442244. If
you want to phone PSM2 in person you can at 01225
788157.

ok i've only
read like 4 pages of this thread so if I'm
repeating someone i appologise.

Publishers
don't offer bribes per se, however it is very
common to call and check the score, for the
packaging of course. If the score is lower than
they would like then the publisher will use the
same call to inform them that they would like all
adverts for their products removed from the next
two months.

Lets take Atari for exapmple
how many ads do they have in PSM2 this month 4?
maybe 5? well at £7000 per advert thats £28000 it
doesn't sound that much but when you think what
fanb0y was interviewed by future, thats the yearly
salaries of 2 and a 1/3 people. I'll just leave
you to think about that.

It's in their magazine so why
not? If they didn't want (loving) phone calls then
why put it in there? I'm sure lots of pissed off
readers phone up...

I love the fact that you can't
copy and paste Spong's material (you have to
actually write it out on a post if you want it
to get on here, as a pop-up window comes up
telling you to get it "licensed" if you try to
C+P), but they see fit to lift stuff posted on
here without providing a link to it!!

The sheer
hypocrisy!!

Eh? I have no problems ctrl-c/ctrl-ving
their stuff, maybe its just an IE thing (I have
Firefox )

Right click on the page and
select "View Source". Then explore the html/php
whatever until you find what you want. Then copy
and paste it. If it is not there and you see
"frames" being mentioned anywhere, look for the
"src" of the frame and visit that address. More
often than not the article will be at that url,
and it is simply displayed inside the frame.

It's completely impossible to completely
hide the content of a viewable webpage. A lot of
admins just presume we're
stupid.
