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.

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.

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.

All this for a fucking dialer?

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

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?

I'd say it's working well... everyone's talking about it.
It's kinda like a new version of "Shock And Awe"...

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.

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.

Care to elaborate on why you think they suck? That's a difficult post to debate with you but if you'd like to post some reasons I'd be more than happy to give you the positives to them.

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

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.

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.
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 !

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.

Looks like one hell of a marketing move to me. I love the colors also, my favorite color scheme. For all the money they dished out in this im sure they are making plenty back.

spam me when you open one, I'll be there with my fluite

I still have a BBS using vbulletin. I've had it for over an year. I'm still the only member.
The level of conversation I have there is amazing.
