Which kinds of businesses are the worst for board spamming, vulturing, and post whoring?

Spam-- Starting your own thread to drum up business. Includes spamples, etc.

Vulturing-- Watching for threads even vaguely related to your business, and responding whether you are relevant to the request or not.

General Post Whoring-- Spending tons of time posting about any and everything.

Of course, the most obvious offenders here are content providers like myself. Still, I think that answer is too easy.

I posted this poll because I love to see how the hosting vultures will appear whenever someone mentions they need a new host-- or when they ask about some particular host-- or when they compliment their host.

For example... I once had a host contact me because, no kidding, he said he has someone who works for him watching for hosting threads on the board . He hadn't even read my post himself.

Theo · 06-08-2003, 12:01 PM

i dont consider them offenders, but I know what you mean.

I agree. These hosting vultures are so lame, they spam their host when someone mentions a competitor's name. Can't these teen-owned businesses get anymore creative?

Everyone but us seem to think we're worse than them, though. Maybe we should withhold spamples for a little while and then see how they feel. ;)

WTF happened there?

Why is it you

are so negative

<a href="http://www.paulmarkham.com" target="_self"><img src="http://www.banapro.com/banners/our_banners/banner_468x60_2.gif" width="468" height="60" alt="PMCS 468x60 NEW!!" border="0"></a>

about us content providers?

But at least our spam is pretty.

Pretty Spam Pretty Spam

And as for the flaming threads, well who else flames like us? And it's not as if we force you to read it, you can always stick to the beer and farting threads.

Forgive me it's Sunday night and I'm pissed.

Going to lay down on the floor now or is it the floor is coming up to support me?

54% of the vote. Damn.

That tears it. I really think that we should go on strike, guys. If all of us content providers didn't offer a single spample for a week, I wonder how boring this board would get. Anyone with me?

most of the time we just endure you.... not unlike the mosquito, you'e usually annoying, but we realize you'll never fully go away, so we occasionally swat at you in our futile attempt to alleviate the annoyance.

PornoDoggy · 06-08-2003, 04:14 PM

I would have thought that it would be closer between hosting companies and content providers ...
