GigaNews Spam?

[puckface]

I think the only people who got the spam are Time Warner users... or so it seems.

smtp can be kinda' insecure, and mail addresses are still spoofable sometimes (we used to do that on purpose at work, using a non-existing address for mail that wasn't meant to be replied to), but in combination with that ad it doesn't look good at all.

tessco or someone better start explaining.

Not that I've gotten any spam, but even so.

If I'm not mistaken, the site hasn't yet recovered from loss of members brought on by the couple of consecutive DDOS attacks on the board.

The ad that I received today which appears to be the same as what was posted above was not the same email that I previewed. The one that was supposed to go out was along the lines of, 'we haven't seen you in a while, this is what the forum has to offer, etc....' and was only to be sent to members who hadn't logged in 90+ days. That may have gone out as well, I'm not sure.

No biggie, it's one ad. Plus, I assume we're playing catch up to pay for the cost of the recent attacks and the new server.

Yup, screw you guys and your shit spam. Anything for a buck huh?

Great attitude.

You enjoy the forum, which costs money, and you need do nothing in return and are not asked to do anything. Surely you enjoy the forum as your returning patronage demonstrates. Yet you still feel the need to tell the staff who brings you said forum the above comment.

If you don't feel like seeing an extremely rare ad come your way to help bring a tad of revenue to a site that makes zero profit, you're more than welcome to fuck off.

I received only one e-Mail about the GigaNews offer for Time Warner customers.
I'm not at Time Warner, wrong country anyway

Here's the mail: imagebanana.com/giganews-mail.png

I have no problem with that one mail, also didn't get "full screen ad".
In my opinion the policy for ads is very good here at FST.

Now you're being a martyr again. It's not sexy, at all.

I'm not really coming across very well to you am I bd ?

I'm just an exceptionally blunt cunt, and it seems to come across badly on the interweb, I suspect the lack of facial expressions and body language is a big part of that. I was smiling really... true story like

I was smiling. I'm usually smiling. I'm smiling now.

I checked my Gmail. I also received the spam.

It's not. Unless you're anal retentive.
