Lensman: You're going to mail more often for advertisers to GFY members? - GoFuckYourself.com

Naughty · 12-02-2003, 05:10 PM

Second time within a few weeks or so. I'm not bothered by it, just struck me as funny. Do all advertisers get access to mailing every GFY member? Or is it an advertising option, a mailing to all GFY members?

I didn't really realize that signing up for GFY was signing up for spam. It's not like we don't notice the ads on the actual site, or the posts by advertisors. With the emails, and the theme change for that dialer a little while back, it's getting a little silly. Adult.com not making enough money off of its sites lately?

I think they should start charging $100/year for posting accounts.

I very highly doubt that they give out the email list to advertisers, im sure its more a matter of them ( the advertiser ) paying for a system wide email to gfy users. It would be very easy for an advertiser to simply "accidently" sell the email list to another company with no morals and not get the flack.

KC, buddy.

Getting cold there yet

Also in your profile there a button to allow admins and others to email you, perhaps you left that clicked ? You might try unclicking that and seeing if it helps.

Also if you dont mind telling us the sponsor that spammed you, because i have another theory on this

Naughty · 12-02-2003, 05:58 PM

I did not consider it spam per sé, just an email from Adult.com for PussyCash. It was from the GFY Administrator.

Mail from GFY >> slightly unwanted
Paris Hilton Penis Enlargement >> Spam

Good point on that radio button about emails.

Some people need to learn to read - at the bottom it says "This is not unsol. mail. I mailed you because your signed up for an Adult.com site. We only send this to our members and we never sell names. To stop getting mail, use this link
http://64.255.161.141/[email protected] here

Trust me, I can read. But you have to be willing to read it first, let alone scroll all the way down to the bottom.

Gemini · 12-02-2003, 06:05 PM

Never have gotten one. ;-)p

Naughty · 12-02-2003, 06:10 PM

completetosser, besides what I already said above. If I signed up for adult.com (which is another story altogether), does that mean I can get mail for anu other program? Unless Lens owns PussyCash, i think that is weird. Maybe that is why Lens drives fancy cars and I have a '97 Golf.

Naughty just to clarify.. GFY is an Adult.com Site... By signing up for GFY you have signed up for an Adult.com site.

Hope that clarifies

It's at times like this that I wonder why on earth I picked the name of 'completetosser' on this board. I hate seeing it in quotes.

Anyway, I have no idea if you'll get any more mail, I'm in the same boat as you in that I have an adult.com account and got the Pussycash mailer.

Personally, I'd rather have email that at least tells me the source of the addresses. Much preferable to the crap you get from the morons who just harvest your name from this board and others. And a nice change from the increase your dick size/weight shit

Kinda strange that I have never received a spam from them.
