is your opt out tool working? I just got like 15 emails, i thought i won a prize
Haha...no shit. I am sure I was one of the first to join their list, thought I would win a prize. Nuttin'
Now I just get multiple copies of the same newsletter....fucking scammers! haha...
Another webmaster email spam I got today (not gg/jim one)...
"This is a 100% opt-in only mailing, you can only receive it by requesting it. This message was requested by you, or someone that knows your email address. "
We have a plan for our weekly mailer that when you see it, you will agree that <b><u>very few webmasters will opt out</U></B>. Our email list is growing each day and right now we have over 40,000 ebmasters that have signed up waiting to see what this new Resource Site is about.
And the latest:
Email Prices
<u>We send newsletters 3 times/week to over 50,000 Webmasters.</u> You may send a 100 word press release or special announcement that will run in any of the newsletters.
usually I say "big deal', but if you guys keep getting the e-mail after opting out, and they are just making money off the sheer number of e-mail addresses they spam several times/week, I guess it's time to decalare....... Shenanigans!
OK
Guess I should reply...
We moved our mailer to Candid...big mistake. We ended up losing all of our optouts...and I am sorry for that.
So when we sent the mailer from the new server someplace else, I hit the send button twice...again, sorry
The only reason you would get more than 2 emails is either you have different email addresses in our database or you have some being redirected to your main account.
We are staying put now with a good host and mailer so it will not happen again...I promise this time
Go ahead and optout if you would like...it will take this time

Maybe it was a fixed Dmoz listing by greenguy
p00p - seeing as you seem to know so much about why I, along with 150 other reviewers, were booted out of dmoz in 1999, why don't you tell the whole story for everyone.
And Lensman...that is the price for days we don't send our regular newsletter. You surprise me by posting anything at all about our list.
And on those days...we will send out a $100 just for the trouble of reading our newsletter.
Bitching on GFY is a gold mine for greenguyandjim.com
A true gold mine...
Maybe Greenie and I can keep it up so it will stay near the top. Maybe, our traffic and email submits will be the highest ever. It usually is when someone bitches about greenguyandjim.com over here.

I will then correct your errors
All I heard was that you were a reviewer for Dmoz, and you got booted for fixing the listings eg. not listing competitors of yours etc.
--This is where you call me names, threaten me, and correct me--
I was booted form Dmoz for listing my own sites in the categories that I reviewed (just as every editor was doing & still does)
I was also removing the 404's, redirecting, spammed up & basically shitty sites (I actually took pride in my dmoz reviewing, treating it like I did my own link list)
The cleaned house the day I got kicked out - 150 or so from what I was told by SE Guru - everyone that was not on the dmoz board kissing the admins asses was booted for the same reasons - my name was just the "biggest" on the list & thus they made an example out of me.
No I was very patient. I was just tired of receiving "ticket resolved" emails and when I would reply back saying that no it isn't, I would never get another reply.

SE Guru can verify this info
Actually, this was so long ago I don't even remember much of it. I was just taking a misinformed cheap shot at you.
I have $25 burning a hole in my pocket, I will paypal it to you if you can get a site of mine listed. Every time I fill in the form and hit submit the damn thing times out. Every damn time....
p00p - no hard feelings - oddly enough, after 3-1/2 years of people taking shots at me about dmoz, I'm getting used to it (that's why I asked for your version, to see if the story grew to something where I killed a fellow editor because they didn't list my avs site)
Oh yeah - that's another thing - I was an editor for 5 or 6 AVS categories - lots of traffic to those on dmoz in 99 - LOL
As far as the site you're trying to submit goes, I'd ask you to come over to my board & post, but I don't think I'm allowed to do that here, so shoot me an email with "Greenguy Is A Spamming Piece Of Shit" as the subject - that should catch my attention
Originally posted by greenguy I once told my wife to shut the fuck up or I'd slap her across the face with nine inches - she replies "Are you gonna hit me 3 times?"
Your lucky, evrytime i take a shit my balls dip into the toilet water.
I can wear shorts anymore becasue the tip og my cock likes to stick out.
