i find it funny how many posts someone will do for a few bucks
look at some of the contest threads - very sad how people will sit at their machine and post and post about nothing just to win a contest.
I posted a couple of posts in the dollarmachine contest and won a PSP I think the contests are ok if there just wasnt like the same 3-4 people who all the time posts 300 posts aday in them.....
I dunno I'd have to agree with you Sleazy. I can't believe the amount of time people will take to make $10, $50, or $100 in these silly contests. That time could be spent much more productively making ACTUAL money. Then again, you hvae to consider how many people on GFY are simply here for show and really have little or nothing to do with the industry.. they are more than happy to fall over themselves and look silly for a few measly dollars.
the only contest that I was impressed with the prize and would have actually tried for was the all expenses paid trip to internext from digibucks...that was a sweet prize...congrats on the whoring .?., it paid off...LOL
You people say that sleazy is "owned" because he has a lot of posts. HOw many of those posts were in useless contests falling over himself for pocket change? I would say none. Just because someone has a lot of posts (and if you consider, that's quite a few years he made all those posts in, some of these board whores go from 0 to 25k in a matter of months), doesn't mean that they are "desperate" or posting for cash. Two entirely different things. I don't see how you folks can claim "owned" at all.

so threads about a day in his dogs life arent useless ( ok maybe amusing but useless )?

I never said they were useful, but not every single post from every single person is always going to be about business, is it? I'm simply referring to the silliness of people who feel they have to stumble over themselves for a few dollars.
I post in that tread because I can earn much more than from my sites. I'm newbie. Later maybe I won't post anymore. I'm selling my signature. I'm making 50-100 posts in contest treads and 5-10 posts in other treads.
Some people go on trips, tool around in their boats, ride four wheelers, go hiking, go fishing, etc for entertainment in their downtime. While others sit around at home on their computer posting in hopes to win $50.
Not my particular brand of vodka, but its sure as hell better than them begging for PayPal's and scamming innocent webmasters for beer money.
