    Re: Scam.com gone forever?

    This whole discussion here and on Quatloos! has made me dizzy. I have two basic questions:

    1. Why would any web site change what shows up in the address bar from a name to an ISP address, if indeed the web site is responsible for this?
    2. Why did the ISP address change? It's now been posted here and on scam.com, so folks can get in easily and regularly. The scam.com link from google doesn't work--couldn't they have redirected it? If so, why didn't they?

    Thanks. (and sorry if these have already been addressed)

    Its a really interesting subject.I shall swot-up on all things "botnet".
    Your comment; bogus legal threat on a dummied up legal firm letterhead would get any thread deleted from the site. was exactly what occured at Scam.com causing Zac to cave in and delete my threads exposing Ray st Clair! No fewer than seven!One of which had a readership of 35,000!
    Why would he give in to such amateurish bully-boy tactics? Guess I'll never know.

    My guess? No spine. Only interested in the site for the money he could make off it.

    You bring up a good point Lisa, but one of the biggest problems with scam.com is the name itself.

    George has no interest in running an anti-scam website that helps consumers.

    He wants to make money.

    Why doesn't George just end this sham and turn the entire website into a big political forum?

    I have to admit . . . watching dchristie and pwrone get into another one of their arguments can be amusing. They always seem to be at each other's throats.

    If people want to report a scam, they shouldn't waste their time over there. Especially with Len as an administrator. They can come here where their posts won't be deleted for some ridiculous reason.

    Or the 'legitimacy' running a scam-busting site gives him, can't imagine being a multiple porn site owner opens a lot of doors in polite society.

    Instead of speculating what happened over at scam.com, why doesn't somebody call Stephanie at the Northfield Acupuncture and Alternative Medicine Clinic and ask her?

    After all, that's her user name - sojustask (so-just-ask - in case somebody never caught it).

    Oh, and if you do call and talk to her, tell her we all miss her and give her our love. :cool:
    Gee, thanks a bunch, Doc. I wouldn't call Northfield Acupuncture clinic though, I haven't worked there in over a year, nor am I a patient there any longer, my health problems were resolved. You are liable to be disappointed if you call sweetheart.

    I know what excuse that George gave to Len about why it was down for a brief time, but I take it with a grain of salt. I don't care why it was down, the same thing happened before and it was down a hell of a lot longer. It's back up and running and I suspect many who left will probably go back. And they will probably come here as well.

    Really? Because just typing in scam.com works for me and the IP doesn't.

    And why would you think that posting this site in your signature line would bring the wrath of God? It's NOT a rule violation any more than posting an MLM site was.

    Heather,

    You think too highly of yourself. As long as you are within the rules, you'll receive no more attention than anyone else who is also within the rules. You remember what rules are right? You have them posted here even.

    Well, apparently ALL of you still do care very much. You've made it the topic of conversation, speculation and debate ever since
    Len was made an Admin.

    If anyone is being the butt of countless bad jokes, I would think it would be those who continue to talk about the people they say that they don't care about.

    Kind of ironic, isn't it.

    If this site does anything close to threatening MLM that scam.com did, it too will probably get attacked as often. Right now, it's in its infant stage. Let it grow up and keeping it up may prove challenging and expensive. And what is going to happen once the pissed off attorneys start in with the lawsuits or threats of lawsuits?

    Are you guys going to help finance the fights against them or is Glim independently wealthy? It might do everyone good here to start thinking of constructive ways to deal with these kinds of situations BEFORE they come up so that if and when they do, you don't turn into another scam.com.

    You have a really good start here GlimDropper. May you never be besieged with shallow loyalties and those who would engage in malicious gossip about you. I hope that you will always have smooth sailing and loyal friends.

    I don't believe that any of the above, is really any of your business or concern is it? This isn't your site and you have no control and no power here. Kind of a bitter pill for you to swallow I know, but that's the reality of the situation. Funny, you yack about people still caring about Scam (which believe me, many do not and many will never go back there - and if you are misguided enough to read all the very negative comments about you, Scam, Lenny and George and interpret that as people "caring" that's pretty hysterical and rather delusional on your part) yet here you are, commenting over here. Seems to me the shoe is on the other foot and you care deeply about this site, losing members, the negative pr for Scam and what is going on over here. You cared enough to register and make several meaningless posts here. Save your b.s. for the ignorant still left over at Scam, sweetheart.

    You have a lot of nerve comming on here and attacking SBM again. She has more courage, more ethics, more honesty, more dedication, more talent, more intelligence and more respect from all of us, than you cannot even begin to fathom, let alone ever possess. I realize it's dead over at Scam with almost no visits and no posts there now, but how desperate are you for attention, albeit negative attention? Oh yeah, I forgot......it's really your Grand Canyon sized ego that brought you here, cupcake. Isn't time for you to ride your broom back over to Scam and practice being a first class B**** over there? Spare us. Been there done that and we're not interested and we've pretty much had our fill of you and your antics, long ago.

    There's been around a dozen posts on Scam today. Perhaps you can head back there and impress those few paultry posters. You have nothing positive to offer or contribute here, except for more of your obnoxious, condescending, lame behavior as evidenced by your continued bad attitude and your posts here. Again we've seen and experienced enough of that. Thanks anyways, lemon drop. What goes around eventually comes around and your karma and behavior is way past due in catching up to you, dear. Peccato per voi mucca.

    Interesting that you misconstrue that you forced posters and Mods to kiss your a** by threats, banning, insults, abuse, deleting their posts, lying, covering for a porn king, throwing your hefty weight around, setting yourself up as some pretend Queen that everyone has to bow and scrape to, horrible treatment and more and then reckon that to "loyalty" ??? Comparing yourself to Glim is like comparing a broken down 40 year old volkswagon with no engine (you) to a shiny new Rolls (him). You really are an evil, warped mess.

    Howdy LM, thank you for stopping by and thank you for the kind words. As far as friends go, I have very few but I know a lot of people I exchange the benefit of doubt with. As far as malice, the only way I know to counter that effectively is not to return it. I lack the wisdom and strength to love those who hate me for no good reason, but I'm spiteful enough not to hate them back because it kinda pisses them off. I thank you for your good wishes and return them in kind.



    A.L.A, please recall that this isn't our rant forum, there are limits to how far you can attack a fellow poster here and you're pushing it. LM is exactly that here, a fellow poster. If you want to rant, feel free to do so, in the appropriate forum. Thank you.

    My issue, is that I did not want to stand by and see the the Mods, the members of this forum or this forum itself dissed and ridiculed. Is there no rule about attacking a Mod on here? If not, there should be, because that quite clearly happened, as I see it. You obviously have much more patience and tolerance than I do and believe me, I was showing all the restraint that I could muster and was trying to be very careful. She has a huge case of sour grapes and really I don't think any of us need to be subjected to anymore of that from her. But that is my opinion. I have no intention of turining this into a p****** match between her and I, but I have my limits. I don't have much tolerance for passive-aggressive behavior and smart a**, thinly veiled remarks either. I had my fill of that on Scam. I would have posted on the rant thread but she didn't post there, so I would have been responding to no one would I? So I hope I have explained my perspective. It is not, was not and will not be my intention to cause any issues here. If she returns with more of the same, some one else can deal with it then.

    Seems to be different for everyone.

    Well, it seems that rules are different for some people than they are for others over there. I'm sure several posters here can provide documentation. Hmmm. Actually, I think several already have. Would you like it posted again?

    I've hardly pay attention to what dchristie or pwrone say anymore. But on occasion both of them have provided opinions without the string of insults and idiocy that often accompanies their posts.

    I'd be OK with it turning into a mostly political forum. Though the wahm forum has some good info on legitimate wahm opportunities. I'm still trying to figure out if emergingcast actually pays or not. I have to hit the $50 payout to find out - maybe I'll post what I find out here instead of there.

    George is absolutely spineless, though. I don't expect him to do anything smart or intelligent with the site, nor do I expect him to do anything worthwhile. The man is a wimp... and not much of a man at all if you ask me.

    Might I suggest trying to take the high road? I think Glim has handled this situation quite well... and I also think he's right. You're just feeding into the situation with your responses. If that's your aim, then by all means... but I think the aim of this site is to not have the same number of pissing matches like scam does.

    She said that soapboxmom thinks highly of herself, and you're response was above and beyond what I would deem even close to necessary for that statement. I'm aware that many of you have a history with Stephanie... but I don't think that this particular instance warranted the response that was given by you.

    I can only get there by typing in the url, the site won't load if I use scam.com or www.scam.com.

    I don't know. Is it incompetence?

    Or, could it be intentional on their part?

    Or is there a third option? One poster made the comment about Lenny trying to manipulate the search engines. He thinks he's smarter than everyone else. Maybe he tried to fool Google and got caught? No one screws with Google.

    Whatever the reason, it must be killing their traffic.

    I'm not sure you needed to explain yourself, at least not to me. Hey folks, I'm still trying my forum jack boots on for size here, were the lines get drawn is a collaborative process that goes farther than a few mods e-mailing back and forth rewriting a set of rules, the community gets their say one way or another as well. There are limits that I will stand up for, but I'm not the only one making this call. I know there's a lot of bad blood between some of us and Sojustask, she knew it when she came here and I'm sure she isn't surprised by how she was greeted.

    But one thing I'd like all your help in establishing is that we do have a designated place to take all the excess venom and help keep the rest of the forum on a (slightly) more respectable level. Think of your favorite neighborhood shot and a beer place, you can get into someones face but only so far before the guy at the bar tells you to take it outside. Same here, but "outside" is a forum about one inch below this one. She isn't posting there? Start a thread there, post a link to your new thread in this one and see if she'll show up. If she doesn't you have another thing to complain about her. But outside the rant forum she get's the same treatment the rules give everyone. I'd be quite pleased if I'm making myself clear.
