Is it spam? - GoFuckYourself.com

Why do people start the exact same thread on multiple boards? I have noticed that most of the time this is done the person is sure to include their signature and a little something about their company. Usually the people doing it are also well known on the boards they are posting too. What is the deal? I know "X" company exists and I know what programs they offer. Why must they shove it in our faces at least once a week. How many times has Lensman started a thread about AP this week? Oh yeah. None! Learn a lesson folks.

maybe everyone should do what derek from xamo used to do.

launched a free host, it'd been opened to weeks, then he jumped me on icq.

went something like this:

derek: hey man can you test this url for me?
me: sure
derek: {address of his freehost}
me: looks good. yes, i've seen it on the boards about two weeks ago
derek: can you test the page for me?
me: i saw it when you posted it a few weeks back. any new features since when?
derek: no
me: good luck with the project
derek: so can you test the page for me?
me: i did. but like i said, i don't use free hosting. and if you didn't change anything then it works fine.
derek: it looked fine on my machine, but i don't know whether others can see it
me: as i mentioned, it works fine for me
derek: so can you see the page
me: yeah, i've said it looks fine
derek: can you test the signup page for me?
me: sorry man -- i don't use freehosting
derek: i need to see whether the email confirmation works
me: didn't you try it with your own email addy
derek: yes, it worked but i need to see whether it works for other people
me: ok, i'll try it on an old email addy (signed up with derekhost@mydomain)
derek: thanks
me: got the confirmation
derek: great, i really think we have some of the smallest headers in the industry

i could see where this shit was going... already told the guy i don't use free hosting... the conversation stopped just about there.

what happened a few days later?

that email addy was spammed like fucking crazy.

Someone posted this here once and I tried it. Thinking about putting it back on a page.

Don't even think about clicking here moron unless you have a credit card.

Holly shit, its a whole new market...

Test your credit card for free! We'll let you know if your credit card works online, absolutely free!

Then in small print, tell them that they are also getting a free membership to your new porn site, which will rebill at $59..95 each month, starting in 3 days.

Heh heh heh...

Wait, didn't someone already do that one. ;)
