Hey, MJ, looks like we were wrong! Kinda glad about that, though. Less spam.

MJ, thanks for your continued efforts to prevent spam.
I have a question about it though, isn't it possible that a spammer makes a first post with his websites written in "clever" ways like :
Hey guys, my name is Mike and I own this website, please visit :
www website dot com <--- that way, he'll be able to post a website without getting caught (until someone reports him though ) !!

lol, OMG i just found this thread, never knew that it existed until now. Its soo funny your all talking about me a supposedly "spammer".

Yankees338 thanks for the heads up "For NICK*****?" to everyone. And Runum u were in it as well. lol absolutely shocking.

nope im not a spammer as you have seen. if i would of been you'd seen a link to a site or something like that. I came across a link to this site from another site about business, and thought that this site would be like the rest of the useless business sites in that no gives a damm about anyone and are in ti for themselves, and i diddnt want to waste my time waiting for 5 posts or what it is, so i did the "try selling in the web it might work" as Merkin Man pointed out.

Then i wrote an intro somewhere and i left the site, i thought it wasn't going to get anywhere so i left, as my previous silly posts got deleted. Then i came back and found that it had gone to the introductions section.

And thats how i came to know that this is a proper forum, with people who actually want to help one another success in business and their personal goals.

Id like to appologise for the spam thing, ive never been a member of a forum, i always think its a waste of time as mentioned earlier. But this is the only one that im registered to and glad about it.

I hope that this clears anything up.

LOL at Runum- "I think we have a live one"

LOL. Welcome to the Fastlane Nick!

It was pretty funny watching you post the stuff up and then it would disappear. Glad you stuck around though. We do care, but won't do the leg work for each other. You have to be willing to go the extra mile for yourself. I do hope you have your plan in place and it works out for you.

Hey Nick,

Sorry if my post in this thread was insulting.

It truly looked like we had "a live one" when I posted my comment...As you can see, spam doesn't last long around these parts because it is so widely detested here!



It's great to see that you turned out to be a good guy. Good luck in your ventures and I hope you enjoy the Fastlane.

... Welcome aboard!

lol very funny Russ H. Im guessing your Irish?

Its cool Merkin Man and Yankees338,

but LOL at: "I'M REALLY EXCITED FOR THIS!!!!!

...I'd like to rip him a new one..." What does that mean???

and MJ saying "Ranks up there with the Favre and ManRam drama!"

Im guessing these two were spammers or something.

Its good to see eveyone coming together and analyzing the "spammers" next steps and making the assumptions on who they are.

Nicely Done!
