looks like gfy has gone down the same path...

[Veterans day]

what do you think about that quiet? is it just advertising or a takeover? :rokk:

[Carrie]

Assimilation at its finest.
No matter where you go, there's the baby-shit green.

I can't even imagine the amount of $$ this is costing ADS for the week, but boy it's sure causing a stir so it's worth every penny and then some.

[stocktrader23]

Aside from that, GFY is down. :angry:

[Veterans day]

stocktrader, you have migrated? Whats up :rokk:

[Toolz]

muhahahahaha

Or plan is working exactly as planned :)

[JayJay]

Says brought to you "TODAY" by ADS
I'm guessing its only for a day?

[Soul_Rebel]

i think it's a promo

smart one

[Soul_Rebel]

i just hope oprano will keep these colors and wont return to the perestroika skin :D

[cherrylula]

This is somewhat annoying...how far does the advertising need to go?

I suppose all one can do is abstain from the boards to avoid it.

:(

[Carrie]

I'm wondering how many more boards are going to change over the weekend.
And GFY really went all-out... the post icons are ADS saucers, there's an ADS ad in every third post, the background is different, the post buttons have saucers in them...
Got some hot-headed folks over there who are NOT happy about having their names associated with that 3rd-post-advertisement thing.

[[Labret]]

All this for a fucking dialer?

Dialers suck. They rank just above spammers on my list of people I would like to eviscerate.

[cherrylula]

Why does it seem like the mentality of webmaster advertising lately has to do with pissing people off with annoying ads, sounds, and now entire site branding?

Does it actually work?

Talk is one thing, I was referring to profits.

I'm not one to jump on in your face advertising, but maybe some do. I tend to do the opposite of most though, so my opinion might not be the best to judge the end result.

i'm in full agreement with you cherry.

[Carrie]

I agree Cherry. There's advertising, then there's shoving it down your throat - but you have to admit this does break new ground and is one hell of an idea.

Months from now when people need a dialer, it's nearly guaranteed that ADS will be the first one they think of thanks to this.

[cherrylula]

Tell ya what...

The only thing this trend has done for me is let me know who not to promote while this crazy ad stuff is going on.

You'd be amazed.

He's right, dialers are just barely a step above spammers. They are most often used to bill people without the people being fully aware that they are being billed with blind links and forced downloads all to make a scamming webmaster a quick buck, but then most of the people in this biz don't give a fuck about any sort of ethics. They're all generally willing to make money off others at virtually any cost.

You and quiet are in the top 1% of webmasters over there. I bet for every 1 that bitches about it there are ten pissing themselves to sign up.


Reminds me of the old Bradshaw analogy, for every person that he pisses off there are ten that sign up to his programs

Okay #1 misconception, the sites do not cost $7 a minute to access, the highest rates are in the UK and they run $1.70 a minute for access, most countries fall between .10-.30 a minute for access making the average 8-10 minute call cheaper than a trial for most surfers.

#2. There are MANY MANY regulations on dialers, there's no auto-installing, there's call timers on the desktop with a calculator showing how much the user has spent.


Dialers have gotten a bad rap in the past, but people have raped credit cards just as hard if not HARDER. Need I remind anyone of the programs that billed surfers over $140 for a "free" trial. The dialers of today are nothing like the wild west dialers that used to run rampant on the Internet, they're highly regulated and an effective means to garner income from countries with less than ideal credit card solutions.

[dirtyone]

My understanding is that dialers are much more prevalent in European and other countries than in the US. It's the auto installing, un-installable, overcharging bastards that have given them a bad name here.

Yeah right. And all the spam I get every day is from me opting in.

Toolz the site looks great !

I still cannot get over all the crybabies at GFY.. I mean if you in this business why not have your own sites in your sig ?? IF you have to sell you sig to make money, maybe you should re-think your future.

Just my two cents !

[KRL]

Hi Serge, Quiet and all the GFY crew here!

I must say, it looks so much better here then the way the colors are twisting our eyes on GFY.

I predict Oprano is going to grab a lot of market share from GFY thanks to this campaign.

Hmmm, I think I'll save my 10,000 th GFY post for another week.

It's relatively sharp, have to keep it in practice to remember the errors of those who passed before us. Could be why I've sworn off booze for the last month and been running 5 miles daily, or could be just because Billy and Chris were dumping me if I didn't get back in prime shape :)

[kath]

I don't see what all the fuss is about...

It's an excellent marketing idea - it's definitely eye-catching and I think Oprano did this "tastefully." Hey, we've all seen a lot more in-your-face advertising in the past - and certain resources that look like the Las Vegas strip with all their flashing & popping. This is a nice "change of scenery" to the site for a couple of weeks and I'm sure it will be mutually beneficial to all involved.

Kudos guys - good on ya! It's innovative thinking like this that make this biz such a cool place to be! :okthumb:

I'm wondering how many more boards are going to change over the weekend.
And GFY really went all-out... the post icons are ADS saucers, there's an ADS ad in every third post, the background is different, the post buttons have saucers in them...
Got some hot-headed folks over there who are NOT happy about having their names associated with that 3rd-post-advertisement thing.


I personally think the ADS presence is tacky. I don't know the people at ADS. I haven't used their service and I haven't been to their website.

When you goto a board and the look and feel has changed to promote a company or service... I think it projects "try hard" even though it's just another form of advertising... it just seems to much. It almost seems like the company feels it lacks so much that the only way to get people to take notice is to be in their face. There are more effective, less dominant, ways of advertising that get the job done just as well.

But hey... opinions are like assholes.. everyone has one.

I'd say it's working well... everyone's talking about it.
It's kinda like a new version of "Shock And Awe"...
They are pushing the envelope,as they say , new and innovative ways . Certainly has people talking dosent it ?? In the end, there is no such thing as bad publicity B)[/b][/quote]
"new and innovative"? More like obnoxious and irritating.

"In the end, there is no such thing as bad publicity." Tell that to Matrix content and Acacia. The list goes on. The "no bad publicity" motto applies to celebrities.. not companies that want you to utilize their products or services.

Again I don't know the ADS people.. but I'm irritated.

No matter where you go, there's the baby-shit green.

I can't even imagine the amount of $$ this is costing ADS for the week, but boy it's sure causing a stir so it's worth every penny and then some.

Gotta hand to the guys at ADS! GREAT idea that will garner them a TON of business.
haven't gotten any from me, not saying they won't, I don't like dialers very much.

The new colors over here are so good it would be cool to just call it an official redesign sponsored by ARS.
