First commented on by Scott and now a subject of some discussion in twitter over a whole other sort of ad, Massively’s RSS feed has been a subject of much facepalmery on my part in the last week. As a commercial site Massively is beholden to elements over which we are just not in control. The RSS feed, how its ultimately used, and what elements of it we can tweak, are one of those things.

Let me make this clear:

• Massively does not in any way support gold farming or gold farmers.
• Massively does not advocate for or against any political argument, candidate, or point of view. It’s as neutral a place as we can make it, given the fact that everybody is biased one way or another.
• All ads on the RSS feed will be removed as soon as we can arrange it, but the reality of the situation is that after 7:30pm ET on a weeknight (when I found out about this) is not a time when much can be done one way or the other.

As lead blogger I sincerely and honestly apologize for any frustration or annoyance this has caused the MMO blogging community. Please always feel free to get in touch with me if you have a concern about Massively.com.

Thanks.
