Hmmm, tdf, I'll check it out, supposedly the chatrooms for his age group are monitored as well.

*I* don't expect someone else to look after my kid on the internet, that is MY job. If I see something inappropriate that he is looking at or don't agree with him playing games, which is what most parents would do if they stopped and thought about the internet.

What does that any of that have to do with running a bot in an AOL chatroom and targetting kids with porn ads?

The key point I am trying to make is this. You CANNOT CONTROL and all you can do is BITCH about how another webmaster is doing business. EG, HP cannot go to DELL and say you are going to kill the COMPUTER MARKET by marketing direct and that there are VENDORS who we rely on to make money and make sales. DELL DOES NOT FUCKING CARE if HP goes under. Likewise, you cannot go tell another webmaster hey your fucking bot and targetting children will kill the industry if these webmasters are making cash. They could give 0 flying fucks if you survive in this industry.

They are using a TOOL and again I REPEAT A TOOL to make sales. As an adult webmaster you can HOWEVER make the decision whether to use the TOOL or NOT. But all the BITCHING in this world will NOT make a difference. All you can do is just sit back and do your own decision whether to use the tool or not.

ONE MILLION POINTS FOR THE TRADEWARS 2002 ANALOGY!

anyway, i'm sure all of you know how i feel about spam.

granted, anything can obviously be abused and misused and what not, but as previously stated it is all a relative degree of "badness". the fact is, money is real important to me. i do have limits - i'm not a contract killer and i wouldn't sell my mom into slavery - not everything has a price. i will make that paper anyway i possibly can so that i eat, my wife and child eat, and i can put a roof over my head.

no one that i know specifically targets minors and everyone i know is real good about using remove lists. if a motherfucker is going to complain and bitch about one little mail or im, why would i dare send him/her any more? that is moronic business. if someone doesn't want your product, especially in this case, no kind of rebuttal is needed. fuck it, move on, there's a zillion people on the internet.

your young kids dont need to be chatting on the internet, its going to lead them into a life of solitude, web whoring and useless information overload. they will become anti social, have no real life friends and become socially unable to cope with society. they will become lazy and unhealthy. they will seclude themselves in a cyber world and tune out reality.

the internet is the same as drugs. an addiction in disguise.

keep em off that shit. make them socialize and play sports. spend time with them and dont let them dabble off into the uncontrolled internet forest of sin and become a loaner
