      If a tornado demolished your house, wouldn't you want someone to come by and check on you?

      Fling.com doesn't steal your traffic and sales unlike some other dating companies. I promote them, and so should you!

              Same here, I think they are going for the impulse.. doubt it works though.

                Honestly I think its pretty stupid. Every company has a problem at one point or another. I've had it happen to me, but I don't need to be a vulture to get business.

                  Agreed, I can't imagine being desperate enough to start doing that.

                        Are you with Phat Servers?

                        Quite a lot of people were pushing them on all Webair threads actually.

                        But nobody contacted me over ICQ (from you guys).

                                  Agreed, I can live with a small down time every so often. I don't care who you are or what you have. Sooner or later something will happen, as long as it's not a normal thing it's not a biggie to me.

                                  I think some of these guys here act like school children about some of this stuff. Sorry but if their whole empire is going to come crashing down because of a 2 hours down time.. lol well then they should re think their businesses. Specially when it's 2 hours on a Memorial Day which is a low traffic day anyway.

                                    I won't. And that's not the point here.

                                    The point is that only low people, like you, would use such marketing tatics.

                                      is it really concidered marketing if im getting nothing out of it but slack from people like you?

                                            Quite a lot of people were pushing them on all Webair threads actually.

                                            But nobody contacted me over ICQ (from you guys).
                                            Yes, I am. And nobody from our company will be contacting you. We don't need slick and shady marketing tactics. I have more pride than that.

                                            What my customers do on their own will, I really have no control over... I'm sure you understand.

                                                I just added that troll to my ignore list anyway.
