Do we seem to be getting a lot of mass advertisers now?

There must be some site that pays to spam forums up with ads or something, that would explain the very recent flood of them

It is probably because we reached so many posts in such an amount of time that they decided to send advertisers. A cheap way to get people to buy stuff, even though, our admins ban em to fast for anyone to care.

I bet there's an AD saying: "Be paid $10 to be banned from the coolest board on the web."

Or maybe not

Check the latest ad thread and there's a url that pays people to advertise (sort of a pyramid scheme)

I bet some lamer found this board and spread it to his lame friends, and now we have this...

You'd think they would've taken the hint though

Explain how anyone dumb enough to fall for such a thing would take any sort of hint from anything. If you told them you'd punch them for every time they ring your doorbell, they'd ring it, you'd punch them, and they'd ring it again

But getting paid to spam an internet board? I'd do that if there was good money in it. But not to this board, of course.

With the last one that came, I finally noticed 3 of them were in the same IP range (not used by anyone else), so now someone earned a free IP ban

I don't think it's a "job" - odds are it's someone working for the company themselves or a friend who's doing all this. Considering how many message boards are out there and how many of them would kill a post like that on site, I can't see there being a huge impact.

Bah, a while ago I got the exact same call twice in half an hour. The first time I didn't answer. The second time I just kinda picked it up, and said very loudly "we heard the first time, we don't care, shut up" and hung up. They didn't call back.

Telemarketers are easy to deal with... for me anyway... you see, when you are more annoying in nature than the telemarketer itself, things become quite interesting...

My family and I got tired of telemarketers and registered to Nix. (Nix is swedish for Nope) Nix is a database where people who are tired of being called all the time register. Thanks to a law in Sweden, telemarketers have to check if the person they're going to call is in Nix or not.

It works perfectly so far.
