QuickDraw 0 #26 April 6, 2002 How was this brought to your attention Sangiro ? just out of intrest ?Whilst i agree that it is a total rip-off IMHO i don't think he/she has meant to offend, (although they must have known something like this type of reaction was possible)I have also been looking through ALL of the members at Citrusdal on the members database. I would like to see their face when they next log in ..Billions of people living out their lives..Oblivious.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lummy 4 #29 April 6, 2002 [being rational]Guys,I hate to say this, but everytime we go there, we are only helping this guy out and making him money. Each little pop up is worth what, a few pennies, to him... Pennies add upAnd think of this, we are the only ones that are going there....So, what to do? Rush over there to voice our dissatisfaction and put money in this guys pocket and generate traffic for his rip off attempt?Or, just stay here and bitch about it amongst ourselves and hopefully the word gets out NOT to visit the rip off?Other suggestions?????[end being rational]baby's hungry and the money's all gone. the folks back home don't want to talk on the phone.

whatme 0 #36 April 6, 2002 I posted on the site. Gosh is that website such a ripoff of this one it is not funny. Sangiro Please take him to court and sue the shit out of him. I can't believe he had the gull to make a website exactly like yours and thinks he can get away with it. Also, the only ones posting besides dirk the jerk is us from the original dropzone.com. I do believe he will get the message.

Basically, you have to put people into one of two categories; Diabolical Genius or Incredible Doofus.Now, if this guy is truly Dr. Evil and out to take over the world he could have actually hi-jacked DZ.com and put up about a bajillion pop-ups that not only made him cash, but also tracked users via cookies and a bunch of other stuff we need not mention.On the other hand, I think this guy is just an Incredible Doofus.He saw something that works, imitated it a little too well and the pop-ups are probably just there in trade for web space.

After all, you're certainly not delaying anyone from getting anywhere.However, I will agree that what probably is a really bad idea is to go over to the site and flame this guy. He'll probably just start fighting with us and that's not going to get anyone, anywhere.
