ScratchBack not scratching my back... So long!

You may have noticed the rather empty-looking ScratchBack widget to the right of this. Notice how it's never had anything donated/whatever? Yeah... I believe that it's time that I get rid of it. Why? There's a few reasons...

Primarily the fact that I've never had anyone tip me through it. That just looks poor to me. Not to mention the fact that it's not customizable enough to not have it break my layout. I shouldn't have to modify a layout to fit a module. I could, but I just don't have the energy to nitpick that.

Really though, it's just the fact that it's not earning it's spot in my sidebars, so why use up that real-estate? I've got the ads up top, and this way my Twitterstream will be more visible, which is more important to me.

So, basically unless there's a sudden (and highly random) influx of tippers, I really don't see a reason to keep it there. And the bummer is, I really do enjoy @jimkukral's projects, it's just that, sadly, this one's not doing the trick for me.

I suppose, however, a large reason for that is the fact that this blog's pretty run-of-the-mill, and while it attracts SOME traffic, it's not the right KIND of traffic. So. I'll give it about one week. Next Weds I'll disable (not get rid of) the block in my Drupal back-end if there's no change in usage. If it starts paying for it's spot in the sidebar, then I'll keep it.

We'll see what happens, won't we?
