set NGOHQ as Homepage

kYdizzle · February 21st, 2007, 05:01 AM

i was just wondering if anyone else found the default setting for the NGOHQ driver installations a little irritating. even when they are by far the BEST drivers i have ever used for my graphics cards the setting to make NGOHQ.com as homepage is just sometimes annoying. as my homepage is google, sometimes i accidentally continue the installation before deselecting that option. then i have to wait as my antivirus and firewalls alert me that it is trying to change my homepage, and i have to then change the hompage back to google

maybe the default could be changed so that the option is still there, but the user has to select it. hope some people can understand, and not think i am being really nitpicky.

The ‘set NGOHQ.com as homepage’ option has been added for an important purpose, to attract more readers and users. We’ve added this feature after some crappy company sent us some ridiculous legal threats. The more readers we have, the more respect they will give us and care about PR. So the main idea of this feature is to prevent crappy companies to send us legal threats.

Seriouly, if you don't like it, how hard is it to change you home page? Do we charge you anything for the drivers? No? Do you help us pay our monthly bills? Bandwidth and site hosting isn't free you know?! I guess it's to much to ask from you guys, after all, we do make you guys pay for everything we offer, including our time. I will only let this stay open because i believe people have the right for an opinion, but don't expect this thread to change anything.

thanks Regeneration i can see why it is there now

i guess i should have chose my words more wisely.

i could care less that this will not change anything, i was just trying to get one side of an argument, and see if anyone else was of the same mind, or if they knew a good reason for the option being there.

no need to attack me for just stating my offensive opinion, sorry i over stepped my bounds.

i agree that i did not see it from the POV of the people that make this site run and prosper but not much i can do about it now except, with my knowledge, attempt to help others who come to this website with issues

i will continue using NGO drivers because they are the best i can find, and respect you guys who work on them.

I wasn't attacking anyone, i'm sorry if it sounded that way, it wasn't meant to be what it sounded. One thing we appreciate on this site is our users opinions and sugestions since this site was created and is here for YOU, i really didn't/don't need this site for myself nor does Regeneration or any other staff member of this site. There are things that are used, created or done with the objective of helping us continue with the NGOHQ.com project, to help us survive and continue with the goal with set for when we started, and that is, help the community in the best way we can. Thanks.

I totaly agree with the proposal. Leave it there but let the users select it themselves.
