It was a joke, hence the winking.

but you calling me a moron however was not a joke.

Seriously, reread this thread.

but on GFY that IS respect!

Mike we are looking for programmers and tecnical people the most.

are you from Canada?

Or better yet Toronto?

Your so right. Show us your breasts Becky. :Graucho

Do you have icq?

I wanna talk to you off board.

OK Fletch if I miss read what you wrote I appoligise.

I am just looking out for my name, reputation, my employees names and reputations.

Platinum Bucks has been growing so fast lately, dont need anyone trying to knock this train of its tracks.

peace!

My ICQ is 46278228

i'm in oregon, not looking to move. i'm available for contract work, and on-going off-hours work.. i'm well worth it. you can ask some of the people on the board who i've done work for :)

yeah the purpose of this thread was a joke, but you took it a little too far Dave... Basically made your company and yourself look like an ass by freaking out....... I thought it was humerous and obviously some other people that every week some new Platinum Employee comes in and spams your program telling us how they got a job at platinum

a) we dont care
b) if they havent been here already, you told them to signup and say this
c) technically spam


As for having you're respect, I dont mind, there are things in this life I can live without, I dont even promote platinumbucks, hell I probably send more signups in a month then your company gets affiliates included, but I think you should apologize to Fletch, Obviously since he does push your program!

and learn to Relax! remember the name of the board! last i remembered you guys had your own!

LOL!!
You are pretty funny....... but hmmmm..... I dont want to show my tits, sorry about that. I'm sure that there is enough tits around that you dont really need to see mine.

Pipecrew I dont like reading any posts that try to tarnish a name that we have built up over 2 years.

You starting a post saying that we are making up names that have started working here in the past few weeks/months is not really much of a joke.

The only people that have posted in here are

a) sales account manager (Tony, Becky)
b) director of sales and marketing (Albert)
c) Part owner and my brother (Dan)
d) myself

Yes I have told Tony, Becky, Albert to introduce themself on GFY this is the biggest board on the net of course I would want them to get known and say hi to everyone.

You dont advertise Platinum Bucks, well first I would say your missing out, but that is your choice, I dont spam you to signup, I dont shit on your corn flakes do I? I dont bother you do I? So why dont you stay out of my shit.

People know me as a laid back chilling person, I most of the time am, but when I am provoked I dont like that shit.

Anyways, I already talked to Fletch on ICQ, we are cool.

seriously reread the first post, There was no tarnishing of anything, just something the board regulars would think was funny, cause I know this has been brought up in past posts!

its all good now

And yes Platinum Bucks did start a new board, but do you see me spamming that anywhere around here?

I would never do that.

As for you sending more signups then all our affiliates generate.

Are you joking on that matter also? please tell me you are, cause that one I can actually laugh at.

But that doesnt matter, I really dont care how much you generate that is not the topic.

Ok Everyone..... there is no hard feelings coming from my direction... Hope everyone has a good evening

Damn, how many signups do you do (since you mentioned it)?

I am trying really hard not to bash the shit out of your program, so lets just both walk away and all will be cool

Dave, don't be so sensitive. Some of your replies to this thread were far more immature than the light humour (yes, humour, it was nothing malicious) that others posted.

I will side with Platinum Dave all the way.

You said that the whole thing was a joke ... well if you reread the thread ... yes I can see that it could be taken that way.

But this being a board that blasts spammers ... it could *also* easily be taken as a ridicule ... belittling our program and staff.

This I do take seriously!

We execute a carefully crafted marketing and business strategy, and must address comments directed at the program and company.

I don't believe it!

Wouldn't it be great if Dave's replies were written in a serious, and professional manner? Rather than spitting the dummy like he did?

Even if this thread was made for the sole purpose of damaging Platinum Bucks, the only thing that would actually be damaging would be how unprofessional dave's replies were!

But yes, i'll stress to you once again that it was a joke.

I am not doubting that the intent was a joke, and thank you for reiterating the statement.

I am just trying convey the message that we are *very* serious and passionate about our program. We actually pride ourselves on our honesty and professionalism.

All is good !!!!

the problems when business and pleasure can get too closely mixed :)

Damn, you guys just hired people? I should of asked for a job... Want to move to Toronto..

:D

Cheers,
Matt

Fletch, is it just me, or didn't you just last week highly recommend Platinum Bucks to me? Fuck that, I won't be joining Platinum Bucks anytime soon. Anyone else who is considering doing so may want to reconsider after reading the little hissy fit Platinum Dave seems to be having.

"We actually pride ourselves on our honesty and professionalism."

... am I missing something here ??

Exactly. Calling potential or existing affiliates morons is nothing close to professional, whether they warranted it or not.

Ok I am not going to continue this anymore,

this is to much...

You know, if I attack someone who is attacking me I dont see a problem in that.

I have only said a few words to a few people,

thats all

Whatever, this is getting old and boring now

No Publicity is BAD publicity!!!

I didnt mean anything by my words,

All JOKES!!!

LOL!

Hey Pipecrew if we keep posting on here will you win a DVD player?

Ohhh soo now I see why you got me going...

Fletch and Platinum Dave discussed the issue with each other on ICQ. All is well and I commend Fletch for not overreacting and reaching out to discuss the issue directly with him.:thumbsup

Come on here folks ... lets lighten up. Platinum Dave got heated when he perceived that a couple of individuals were ridiculing the Platinum Bucks program and crew. Frankly, when I read the first dozen or so posts, I had the same perception - that is was ridicule and negative.

As it turned out the discussion was designed to be humerous - lets move on.

Honestly Dan, I really could care less if Fletch and Dave are best of buddies. What Fletch does is what Fletch does. I didn't post because Fletch got dumped on, I posted because the "professionalism" of Dave just didn't seem to be there.

Now you on the other hand have been very professional throughout each and every post, thumbs up. Maybe you could give your brother some pointers.

It doesn't matter how it was perceived, the reaction is what matters and is what's remembered. You had the same perception, but didn't react the same way, right?

I've already moved on 20 minutes ago, because frankly I really don't care either way. I'm sure you're of the same position...

Oooooooooh Platinum3way...I like.

Platinum Dave is cool, him & some of his homies bought me mad beers in Miami last year.

I just wish becky was there....mmmm sweet sweet becky

Mad Beers haha whats up Pro

and this year at Internext we are hosting a nightly afterhours party in our suite.

Breakfast at 4:20 AM spark em up !!!

Eggs Benedict breakfast each night at 4:20 AM in our suite

the biggest one we could find at the Diplomat

Bring it on!!!

so is Becky going to start her new thread or what? I'm fuckin disappointed... Spam us now...DO IT!

btw,that was my only joke... I don't care how many people you employ,it's just funny as hell when they come here and "introduce" themselves...if you don't see the hilarity in it than you don't belong spamming the board like the rest of us :Graucho


Platinum Jon #2 right here

Hello All,

Reading this thread, there are obvious miscommunications with all of us. I think we all of better things to do then "BASH" each other on GFY.

This is a place for jokes, spam and also PROFESSIONALISM. If you have ever met Platinum Dave, Platinum Dan or myself, we treat everyone with highest respect and kindness. Nothing less. We are all human at the end of the day :)

This is a competitive market and "burning bridges" is something none of us strive for. We continuosly strategize for best practices and running an honest program. All the recent Platinum team members are not fictional, this is a reflection of a dynamically growing company and exceptional leadership.

We respect everyone on GFY and I encourage all of you to ICQ me to discuss any issues you have with the Platinum Bucks program or any of team members.

I will be in Vancouver and Hollywood, so I hope all of you can introduce yourself to me as I don' t think that I met most of you:( I look forward to meeting with all of you.

Just to let you know, Platinum Tony and Platinum Becky are welcomed additions to our team. You will certainly be seeing them around the boards !

ICQ 151853805

Respectfully Yours,
Platinum Albert

PS: Becky is fantastic and I am confident that she will upkeep the highest PROFESSIONALISM and HUMOR on and off the boards :)

You guys throw a staff meeting or something about this? I think each platinum person has posted :)

Rock on Albert, well put buddy!

LOL! well during the day we were all in the office together.

Albert left work early today so he just got home and wrote something tonight

hahahaha! but ya it looks like a emergency meeting haha

I am totally cool now, I am not mad at all,

all good folks :thumbsup

Oh come on Dave, come up with an idea on your own :)

Titanium Toolz

Sorry couldn't resist

Hi Becky :)

Damn here I thought I was gonna be unoriginal and copy some shit but someone beat me to it:

http://www.titaniumbucks.com/

So we've got Platinum, Silver, Gold, Titanium, all used in sponsor programs now, when's someone gonna come out with what we're really looking for?

Tin Cash, Bronze Bucks, Lead Dollars, how come no one goes for the lesser metals? Are they not as important? Styrofoam was gold to ALF, come on sponsors hook us Aliens up.

Hmmmm, i sill havent seen any platinum boobs. Whats up with that?

"You know, if I attack someone who is attacking me I dont see a problem in that. "

... this is just a big joke, but I guess you and your platinium toons have no sense of humor ... calling for "platinium hogan" to clear up this mess !!!

Peso Cash!

Is it just me or are people who run affiliate programs on this board held to a MUCH higher standard than everyone else? Not in their programs but ethically.. It's like the bad kid gets it easy while the decent kid takes all the shit for not being "the good one" to design spec..

if you run a proggy - you have to make the webmasters happy. there are so fucking many now (programs that is), that if you look bad at all, you'll lose business and the ability to grow. this board is nothing but webmasters (for the most part), so what else would you expect?
