Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Water Models / May 2004A New Modelling Forum
Folks, I have just launched a new modelling forum and you are invited to take a closer look. Unlike other forums this one is going to be different! One of the things we will be doing is to run three monthly competitions: Model of the month Photo of the month Tip of the month Ii is hoped that through these competitions you will have the chance to win over £500 (approx $900) worth of prizes every month. To find out more just visit our site ate http://www.forums-4-u.com I look forward to seeing you in our forums.

And you seriously expect people to leave a free newsgroup to join a pay-to-view forum? Now we know how you can pay out £500 in prizes every month! I wish you luck, your going to need it!! Coz here's one user that WON'T be joining your forum.... Eddy >> I have just launched a new modelling forum and you are invited to >> take a closer look.

There are a lot of things that you have to agree to in the T&C's, but nothing at all about what the organisers/web masters agree to do in return.

Oh and Ian,thank you for your kind and considerate offer however at this time I shall be unable to partake as I much prefer to listen to/read the posts of, seasoned organ grinders rather than pay per view monkeys. have a nice day Dalt >err forgive my rather cynical view but does this post not constitute SPAM?? Certainly looks that way to me... >Oh and Ian,thank you for your kind and considerate offer however at this >time I shall be unable to partake as I much prefer to listen to/read the >posts of, seasoned organ grinders rather than pay per view monkeys. And long may they continue to grind their seasoned organs... Regards, Tony I would like to hear an explanation of how the £500 monthly prizes fail to atract the 'less desirable and disruptive elements' that the £12 annual subscription is intended to put off. Not that it matters, I will not subscribe. Did it cross anyones mind that he might be legitimately trying to start a decent modeling resource? If your going to have your reservations about paying then think them but dont blatantly call the guy a con-artist when you have absolutely nothing to base the accusation on. Jeez...

Jeez... > > Kyle Kyle, The amount of free information and most likely hundreds of years of experience in this group far outweigh a post made COMMERCIALLY as SPAM (check the dictionnary for use of the word spam and commercial). Cross posting to numbers of groups offering a PRODUCT or SERVICE you are charging for is SPAM. Have a look on google to see how many groups got the same thing posted..then if you really are happy with it offer the guy support by joining up. It is common good manners to add "ADV" to the front of a post if you intend it to be commercial or to solicite money from people. I wouldn't say the original poster is a con man and I have NO evidence to suggest otherwise..however I WOULD say he is a spammer..and that in itself is enough for me and no doubt others to ignore the content of his post.
