so who still uses the old site?
- Thread starter BuzzQ
- Start date
Just checked my hotmail.com account and holy shit VS actually sent a reply email, screen shot of my original message and their reply.
AS of right now I can access the user CP, but have no access to edit my personal information or settings, and the Server is too busy screen keeps appearing.
I did this as an experiment to verify a few things and see how much BS they could throw at me, this a 100% confirms that they watch this site (I never once mentioned the nation in this email or the one I sent when my account first went miserable). Secondly I wanted to see how much VS cared about their secondary customer clientele (primary being the advertisers, ass backwards I tell you). Third they should have no issue with the link to gmtnation being posted on TV if they have "no issue" with users being on both sites.
Oh well it was good for a laugh and well worth the few minutes spent on the email.
Also the amount of spam being sent to that email address has increased by at least 200%. In three day it has received 75 emails, usually get about 20-30 emails over the course of a week.

More lies. We have a fantastic reason to invite noobs here - TO HELP THEM!
We don't make money off them like Vertical Scope does. We have no paid staff to take their skim off the top.
We just CARE about folks who aren't getting their questions answered. Not enough to go back to the parasites at trailvoy, but for them to claim we have no reason is a full-up lie.
They just don't UNDERSTAND the reason, being greedy mercenaries with no concern about the communities except how to keep one barely alive so it can be milked. Think being used as human batteries for the matrix.

We threaten their ad revenue, and revenue keeps them warm and happy little parasites, so yes. Our existence is a threat to their security blanket.Jman423 said:

Now where did I put those moths?
I'm a spammer on the other site every couple of months and have yet to get banned. ( cross my fingers so I can keep spamming ) I love to bring people over to the good side . :wootwoot::wootwoot:

While I'm sure you think your "spamming" the OS is cool, it's more than likely having the exact opposite effect...
See one of my previous posts regarding it --> http://gmtnation.com/f18/so-who-still-uses-old-site-959/index39.html#post108274
Thanks. EVERYONE who still can should do a bit of this, since it helps the noobs. Just don't post up about it here because they have spies, and folks have been banned over there for no apparent reason. They also read the Trailvoy PM logs, since the "P" in "PM" means NOTHING to those parasites. They treat us as competitors and not as helpers of folks who need help.C-ya said:

Lol I like what you did there
before the edit.Oh and by the way, my account is still locked over there. Probably because I posted their email full of lies.
I wasn't in any way the ringleader on this move. I imagine the founders of the new site had to think long and hard if they wanted to leave me and my sarcasm behind.Hypnotoad said:
Seriously, 100% of the volunteer, unpaid mods and admins defected instantly and wholeheartedly when asked. I gave up quite a bit in post count and credibility to start over here, but the mission of this site aligns with my own. And the mercenary purpose behind the Vertical Scope business model does not.
Ummmm, no.
Pied Piper maybe. 
While I agree about the post count you gave up I must respectably disagree about the credibility. I think most everyone from the old site did and still knows that you are "one" of the most knowledgeable folks around for the GMT360 platform.the roadie said:

Wow, even the Christmas greeting thread over there sucks...not 1 reply to a newer members thread wishing everyone a Merry Christmas! That is pretty sad! Someone with an account should send everyone a rescue PM and tell them where the action is. I have noticed our member counts rising almost daily

I'm trying to stay under the radar this time recruiting members.
There must be something going on behind the scenes to have over 60 new members sign up in the last 4 days. Something....Denali n DOO said:

Spamming is bad, it tends to piss off more people than it helps. It may just be a bad choice of words. We don't want to spam other sites.
What we do want is to reach out to the poor people that are not getting any help over there, or that are not getting the "right" help. Those people will benefit from the rescue and we will not appear to be uselessly spamming our name just for the sake of getting members. That's the VS way, not ours. They choose to block our name, otherwise it would just be a peaceful co-existence where we could shuffle the "un-helped" over here and get them squared away.
While we can't control what any of your do over there, try to keep that in mind.

Have I mentioned if they show their faces here they get banned for adding zero value to the discussion and actually spouting bad advice?

I was lurking around over there and pulled up the "Admin" profile. Guess who's on the "friends" list?the roadie said:
The Admin has friends? 
Ahhhhh. Goofball friends.
And his visitor message list is full of absolutely ignored pleas for help. What else is new over there? Nobody home, nobody in charge, nobody cares like we used to. Vertical Scope is a Destroyer of Forums.

After a few months of low activity, they certainly have gotten more active in reading PMs and banning, leaving no trace.
I was looking at the Reality thread. I could access page 1 fine, but every time I clicked "last page" it wouldn't load. I figured that someone was cleaning up. 
Classic data base failure when they ban and "remove all posts" of their victim. Page count collapse.
Like a black hole in its last few minutes of life.
If there's any benefit to Vertical Scope and Rob Laidlaw in this debacle, it should be to treat the communities with more respect. Instead of ant farms to be ignored.

Right. But usually when you click "last page", it loads the last "existing" page...regardless of the page number. I couldn't get it to load anything.the roadie said:

It still comes up with valid search results for different topics, but overall new/productive activity seems to be void over there. Though the ad flood is burtal. GMTN is my primary resource because of the active discussions.
I should be removing the OS decal from my rear windows this weekend. Unfortunately, though, the GMTNation logo isn't very appealing to me, so I don't think I'd be chasing one of those down. Might get some custom alma mater/ alumni decals done, though.
The new site is great, though. Keep up the good work. As I find myself becoming active again, I'd love to support the site via subscription.

There's gotta be something in there you would like...
And if not, I'm pretty sure that Harmless (Stef) will work with you to come up with something that fits the bill...

Thanks for the link. I'm digging the black/white ones. Will figure out which one I want soon.

Oh, what a hoot! Vertical Scope and Rob Laidlaw have added a new and 100% disgusting, evil. stinking way to make a lousy buck - embedded keyword links. Go to that thread and see that the word "Roadie" is now a link to an autoanything product. Parasites.CdnGMan said:One of the best "gems" from the OS I've seen in a while...
