    Angry What a Scam!

    Will my friend just won a brand new 100 GB tap backup server.

    ....HOW YOU MAY ASK!!!!

    It was a scam a very smart scam he did....


    What it was is this company (no names) gives out Banners to Website owners. More other people click on the banners more my friend got points. These points also go into a Win a prize deal, where the most hits gets the prize.

    Well my friend has a online Web based RPG game he made will he has 3 to be exact. Any ways he put the banners on the pages and had them random, I think there was 3 banners. Any ways he had over 4000 users playing his game. Will what he did was he made it so if the user clicked the banner he gave them 10 extra turns to play his game. (Had it generate the points to user on click) So as you can see 4000 users 1 click a day thats alot of hits right?

    Will that was his smart scam on winning the Tap Backup.

    Pretty smart? Or pretty low?

    Do you leak any fluids, do you have any bumps on your rear, do you have any unpleasant odors?

    Scam is a bit harsh in this case. At least I think so. He provides a service, the person clicking the banner gets something. Win, win. IMHO
    I know enough to know that there is alot that I don't know.

    3 online RPG's? Two of those wouldn't happen to be Earth2025 and Utopia would they? That is exactly what those games do, and it works great! I don't mind doing that for the extra turns! <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> ROCK ON! <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">
    ...I don't get it...

    I couldn't say it any better than this:

    "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms."
