Buyind sig was an interesting idea that has gone terribly worng. Just like anything the horde does, it ends up going over board and being worthless.
People who buy sigs for impressions are fools.
Speaking of fools, anyone want to pay me to wear their shirts during the convention?? Just e-mail me!

Hmmm - I've got a cute Victoria's Secret T-shirt it might be worth a few $$ to see you wear.
I know I am new go GFY and when I first started posting I was aking people about their companines.. (of course I assume that if you have a button for someting in your signature you MUST work with them) I know wonder if it hurts peoples business when some asshole says someting and I think they work for a company and they do not..
I guess I am one of the few that does not get it

does the person selling their sig have to agree to some sort of conduct guidlines? I would hate to buy something one day and find out the person I paid went on a racist (for example) posting spree the next day with my company name sponsoring each post.

That's what has me worried. I've read some of the posts from the people who have contacted me and while they look OK NOW, I can certainly see the potential for something "bad" to happen.
I suppose the best way to handle it is to have something stated in writing - even though it's obviously not enforceable. If you host the banner on your (the advertiser's) server, you can always remove it and just kiss the $$ goodbye for the rest of the month.

Most of the buyers know the reps of the people they are purchasing from. Most of the larger names have been around for a while, and they are not about to do something rash to ruin their names.
as far as Lens making money off this , and buying sigs....think in the long term. What did he actually invest? He bought a few sigs for pittance, those guys will post their little brains out to please him.The overall trafic on GFY will be up as a result of this, and the other sig whores posting. The prices Lens charges for ads on the board are probably tied to the performance of it.The more trafic, the more money he can charge for the ads. I bet it wont take him long to recoup his investment . Just a smart move on his part

Ah, good point! I hadn't even thought of that angle and it makes perfect sense.

weren't you supposed to get a t-shirt for our little bet??

Todd, I was looking into some kind of paint or something to put on a t-shirt from the bet I owe. Do you have any ideas? Maybe you can call up the Dean campaign and get a shirt, and I will wear that and take some photos while in Vegas!

Since when did quantity equal quality? What's the point of generating millions of more posts a month if they're going to be worthless? Now was the sig auction a good idea? Time will tell, there's interesting stuff posted on GFY but normally there's so much drivel I miss it, or the thread becomes 10 pages long with 1/2 a page containing the real info and you have to sort through it, is this new sig spree gonna lead to 20 page threads with 1/4 of a page with real info on it? Would be sad if that's the way it goes.

Originally posted by Fletch XXX@Dec 29 2003, 04:56 PM Funny thing is this isnt the first, or the last time I will be or have been paid that much for my sig.
There are several posters on GFY getting paid more than that for their sigs, but apparently they're not crass enough to discuss it.

Carrie is just so bitter towards me she cant accept it.
hahaha
as I always say, her bitterness shows.
I'm curious, what reason does Carrie (or anyone, for that matter) have to be "bitter" about anything you do or say?

That song from The Wizard of Oz comes to mind when I read your post.
its worth it if people are making legitimate posts, I think buying and selling sigs in the long run will decrease the value of intelligent, thought provoking posts.
Originally posted by Carrie@Dec 29 2003, 05:51 PM Fletch... hater? Please. Have you read the posts over there? Half the people think you're a fucking idiot for selling out that low with your post count.
It must be wonderful to think yourself lord over a populace that laughs at you. You must be so proud! *golf clap*
Go back over there now, you've got a post count to maintain. Run along...
Apparently Fletch didn't realize you were saying the $1K was a low amount. Maybe if he goes back and rereads your original post he'll figure it out.

I rely on Alexa's numbers about as much as I rely on my ex-hubby's non-technical computer-challenged father to tell me what traffic trends are.
In my 7 years of being online, I've never known *anyone* who has that piece of shit toolbar installed. It's like asking Mac users to comment on anything in the computer world... their 1% opinion hardly makes a difference.
Carrie,
how do you spell naive?
when was the last time you checked your HD for spywares?
I find Al;exa spyware there 50% of the time and I NEVER downloaded it....
I love people who argue with me about trends.....some smart people here recall who posted first in 2000 that the trend of the adult industry is about to changed,
who was laughed at for the first 6 months of 2001 and quoted for the rest of the times
;-))))
Originally posted by Carrie@Dec 29 2003, 03:52 PM Between Fletch and Stocktrader, I can't decide which of these fits best... so I'll just post all three.
Here's a hint... if you want to be funny, be original. Copycats are just sad.
I do like the Book of the Bitch one though... might use it for my new avatar!
