has anyone here ever done any business with someone who's first contact with you - was via spam? i can safely say NO.

FATPad · 06-09-2002, 08:18 PM

Nope. Just on principal alone.

nocostporn · 06-09-2002, 08:21 PM

quiet · 06-09-2002, 08:22 PM

hmm, let me think. oh yeah - fuck you.

nocostporn · 06-09-2002, 08:24 PM

i got spammed by a major sponsor near christmas saying he saw my domain on sextracker and if i would be interested to promote his paysites........the funny thing is that it was the sponsor the exact domain used.

lol Soul. that's fucked up...

Theo · 06-09-2002, 08:46 PM

yeap,i bet they mailed half of the sites listed on sextracker.

The most annoying spam lately is the one i get from http://www.pleasurebank.net/ for traffic trade. He even e-mails my mainstream domains.........

For those of you who have NOT, why not? Is it "bad for the industry?" I'll ask again here what I asked today on another thread: Are any of you who would say "HELL NO" to the poll submitters or owners of TGPs?

Bad for the industry.

Bad for the industry.

that's easy. i say hell no, because spam annoys the piss out of me. it wastes my time each day, deleting/ignoring/filtering. pissing me off is not good way to try doing business with me. some fucker emails me wanting to switch to his hosting (for example) - delete and fuck off. period.

quiet · 06-09-2002, 08:55 PM

i don't give a shit if it's 'bad for the industry' or not. it's annoying as hell. however, i think in fact it IS bad for the industry, but that's not the issue i'm trying to address. webmaster specific spam - if no one responded to it, it would not continue to increase.

Lane · 06-09-2002, 09:02 PM

when i told a girl that i was involved in adult websites, she asked me right away if i was one of the people sending her the spam emails, and told me that it was very annoying..

i guess it does hurt the business and gives us a bad reputation.

Lane · 06-09-2002, 09:03 PM

and my answer is "hell no" too

Goonx · 06-09-2002, 09:07 PM

mmmmmm....... spam......

Jayson · 06-09-2002, 09:15 PM

My personal favourites are the ones where they want to trade links but it is "put my banner on your site, then come enter all your details on my site and I may list you"

Yeah right.

That's happened to me a few times. As soon as anyone finds out what I do, they start complaining to me about spam. They also mention CP and beasty sites. The spam is always first though.
