50 sig whores starving...

well there was no doubt about you or (most) others registered before they started paying for impressions..

Im promoting my Champs site with mine.... if I take the tracking of is that ok?

HAHA

looks like half the board will get evicted at the end of the month. :1orglaugh

Knew it had to happen just had to look at the numbers and anyone could see it coming.

Yes that is ok. :)

Great job guys.

great news !:thumbsup

Lensman's traffic just took a 60% dip

AWESOME news... Man, what are half the webmasters on the board going to do for their dinner now? They may have to turn to honest WORK!!

nice

BVF, it's an official statement:thumbsup

Yeah right!..lol

please explain to me in what having an ars sig is dishonest?

are you in this biz to make $$.? or just here to waste your time ( and ours)

i had ars sigs as well as other sponsors sigs and noticed that without posting nonsense and just answering the post i'm interested in as usual , my ars sig made me enough money to pay my hosting bill when other sigs brought me zilch. i would be fucking stupid to take it off as long as its ok with ars , now once again they change the rules once the game has started wich say a lot about their ethics and the people they hired to plan their marketting strategy. i will take the sig down but it will just make a hole of not even 5% of my revenue , and i'm being generous about crediting them 5%.

also tell me more about your fastsize sig ...hmm

Well, you are dishonest because you are breaking the ARS sig rules

"**NOTE** When using the referral program in a signature, you are NOT allowed to have more than one (1) referral link in the signature."

:glugglug

Then why are you complaining? We made this move after the bashing we received here on GFY last weekend. There was no other reason to do it.

well as they change the rules every two days i cannot just be updated to the minute , here is the ars sig off ...

not complaining about ARS ( well just some issues with the ethics) but just , i don't understant the bashing against ars sigs by people who are themselves sigwhores

thats the best news today

hope my thread helped a bit :glugglug

and we never will.

I hope all the ARS haters get crabs or worse ;-)

testing 123

ahhh

I would be still here :)

S W E E T !!! :thumbsup

so many spelling errors in that.

I don't know...why don't you tell us?

Thank you!



:glugglug

think of all the sigs that will sell for cheap this month, lol

Well, in light of the assholes on this board getting their way...I think it would be more than appropriate to cause the same fuss about the signatures they have. After all, aren't they whores also? They complain constantly yet they have their signarture with their refrerral code in it.

I personally thought the vast majority contributed to this board and I rarely saw just a smiley or anything else. They took the time to form sentences and paragraphs when a ton of others could only give the GFY finger.

I think it is a shame that ARS bowed down to the childish antics and "gang up" mentallity sported on this board. For those of you that did, you digust me. They had JUST as much right to support the program of their choice than you do. Whether they got paid by impression, referral codes or "whored by the month".

Oh right... are you sure you are awake yet? THIS, honey, is GFY, there isn't a damn thing calm about it....... never has been and never will be and that's why we all love it. lol

Wouldn't it be easier to sell them unshelled in bigger bags? Or do they get a higher price shelled?

Oh, as for the ARS sigwhore thing, glad to see it go. I thought GFY seemed more mellow today.

:1orglaugh

most of the sig whores posted nothing but bs.

:thumbsup

I'd have to guess that ARS bowed down due to a simple series of events:

People started to bitch and moan about ARS sigs.

People stopped clicking on ARS sigs.

ARS lost a dickload of money.

Program closed.

Is it that confusing?? And that personal... ? Hell no, it's business.

Yes I complained about "ARS sig whores" and as much as some of you want to make justifications for why it was no big deal or how everybody else does this or that, nobody will convince me it wasn't abused to the point of making this board and the people on it to suffer like no other marketing gimmik before. Bullshit there weren't a lot of smilies. That is laughable. I had to wade through tons of useless drivel and smilies in almost every thread because of some of you and it wasn't just annoying but was killing this board. Maybe some of you don't want to see the reality that I see or just want to make more excuses, but the proof is in the pudding. Look at how many people put everybody with an ARS sig on their ignore list whether they were a serious poster or not. That speaks volumes.

you should be helping her :thumbsup with the cans, you should be ashamed of yourself letting her do all the work:winkwink:

:thumbsup

LOOK, just a smilie and no ars signature.

I didn't really have a HUGE problem with it, but I did get sick of everyone bitching about it and those guilty of the mindless dribble (and yes I MEANT dribble) complaining about how "people are treating me like shit"!!!!

The things like stupid posts that had ZERO to do with anything going on in the threads other than to get a signature in are the ones that I think were on everyone's nerves. The ones that always post and actually INTERACT with others, I don't see as ever having been a problem for anyone.

That's just MY :2 cents: on this...... :)

:1orglaugh :thumbsup :1orglaugh

Ah bullshit. Last year at this time there was no ARS sig program and virtually no one was even selling their sigs at that time and the board chugged along just fine. All this sig shit is new from where I sit. Only the useless fucktards will hopefully disappear and we can certainly do with a few less of those.


Bravo to ARS for taking steps. :thumbsup

he's crying right now:(

How can posting 2000 smilies or two word drivel replies in a month qualify as you being a member of the board as a participating webmaster when if the pay per post incentive is removed many of you will simply dissapear from the board entirely, so you wanted to contribute nothing to us or do any biz. here but were here to use us webmasters as simply sig impressions for your income and at the same time were sucking the life force out of this board with the useless posts in every thread to have to dig through. Of course this doesn't apply to many but is certainly topical to the pure sig whores.

Exactly but what it unfortunately came down to for those posters is: Serious Poster + ARS Sig = Clusterfuck.

Yup, I have to agree with you on this one. I wasn't here for a good long while, because I was working my head off..... but I lurked a LOT. I don't know at what point this whole sigwhore thing started, but I do remember it went real damn crazy REAL fast.

I can handle the piss fighting more than I can someone just putting a post somewhere JUST to have a signature in a thread.... and not even have a CLUE what the thread is about. LOL

Is this just for GFY? or for all boards?

Oh brother, what board have you been on all this time? Do you have short term memory or what? No one remembers Pimpdog and all of his drivel and drama for sig views? What about all the "Please donate to my boobjob" and all the fighting etc that constantly goes on here. What I do NOT like is grouping all people together...to me that is just plain wrong. It is like me having a problem with someone that has a Silvercash banner and then going around and saying silvercash and everyone that supports them sucks....no...THAT person sucks...not everyone.

If you or anyone else had a problem with an individual that always posted nothing more than smilies then report THAT person, have a problem with THAT person...not the entire sponsor.

Smart move indeed:)

I like ARS a lot. I actually got a check from them today. Although the marketing plan of paying people by the CPM was ill conceived and they even admited as much today didn't they with how people abused it. Like I said before here, when you start associating and ignoring EVERYONE because of their sig because of its association with worthless drivel posts, than that is unfortunate for the serious posters with that sig. If it was just me that would be one thing, but if you saw the threads with people's ignore lists that included everyone with an ARS sig, you would have to agree with me that it wasn't simply this person or that person but a truckload of spammers polluting threads to get cash and treating every other webmaster on this board as another sig impression to them without any regard to the aggrevation they are causing everyone else and with no other biz here than using us to get impressions by contributing only pollution to threads. Don't try to minimize this or compare it to any other stupidity here. That doesn't negate the obvious.

Looks like its time to change the sig :1orglaugh

They should still allow it on gfy for people who promote their sites. :2 cents:
