Eros' ICQ Rules
 

Okay if you want to contact me please do it in a somewhat professional mannaer.

I get every single day people I have never spoken with on ICQ who initialize conversations with things like..."Hi." "Hey." " :) " and that's it.

Sure tons of it is just spam from the 19 year old "Sarah" from California, but I have investigated further to find out these are real people who want to be potential clients.

If I don't know who you are, if I don't recognize your nick and your first message to me doesn't explain who you are and what you need then you go on ignore.

9 times out of 10 when I initialize a message to someone else on ICQ or request authorization the message will read.

eroswebmaster from GFY.

And in the first message it is usually, "Hi this is eroswebmaster from GFY," and then I go on to explain why I am contacting them.

Try it sometime you just might get a quicker response, not just from me but others as well.

hi

Ignore ; )

Bonjour :)

dont ignore the blue eyed negro..plz

Seems simple - but it's amazing how few do anything like this

When my pyschic powers fail me, they just wind up as a lonely number, waiting to be purged from my list :(

Howdy !

Yep.

There are days where I spend 4-6 hours dealing with potential clients on ICQ..that's a lot of time away from actual work.

I don't have time to research nicks and compare them to people who may post on boards I visit.

hey

Okay, It's written down :thumbsup

sorry about that Eros
