Lynk Former Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Look at all of these perty adverts around you... they are what keep this forum alive and well... I'm sure the admins also forked out some cash from their own pockets to get it all started as well. (on a totally unrelated note: GASP! PRISS AV!

IG-64 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Another thing, having 90,000 members is great and all, but you know about 95% of them never post. >.> But, that still doesn't make LF any less famous I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all the accounts with no posts in after a month should be removed to make way for more n00bs and so people could get the name they wanted. but it ain't up to me is it.

I know, it does take up alot of names, just look at the b-day list on the front page, you'll find that almost all of them have no posts. But then again, I didn't post untill about a month after I registered. Because I registered to ask something about Galaxies and then found it was useless to post, then when JA came along I started posting again.

TK-8252 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Speaking of ads, I'm getting an absolutely dreadful ad on these forums sometimes that makes a horrible fly buzzing noise. It says "Swat the fly and get a free iPod!" or whatever. Curse these advertisers who think it's a good idea to make ads that annoy people instead of displaying their service.

PRISS SIG!! *drags jebbers into http://www.thecrisiscenter.net *) shame on you Lynkster, blatantly promoting your FREAK centre Isnt there a rule against that ?? Funny that those ads are viewed as annoying by 99% of us, and adblocked through our browser or internet security/AV program.... as for the guys that "started" LF, are they a hit with the ladiez...I need to know If so, might start up my own huge site and get 90,000 members mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TiE23 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Anyone ever been to IGN forums? They get 40k posts a day! Some of the members have 20,000+ posts TiE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I think they keep the member number high to be able to ask more money from someone who would like to advertise on LF. And 20 000 posts that are just spam ain't worth mentionning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue15 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 yeah those damn ads placed a trojan on my other computer, and internet explorer got f'd up, quite literally....as the main page kept reverting to some porno ads. so i was forced to switch to firefox, and that's what i'm using on my new pc. Internet Explorer=Hot chick with a ton of STDs to a computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 i've never had a trojan pop up via an ad with IE or firefox, perhaps is some virus/spyware you already have installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 No, it's from the ads. I've gotten them lots of times before switching to firefox. Do not say it's our fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tags Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 well, there has been quite e few swampies who have replied to this thread and jebbers seems to be slightly disapointed since only 1 person attemted to answer his question. so I'm just gonna throw in my 2 cents anyway, who really cares how this site is funded or brought out to be. As long as it's here then that's good enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
