    If all these threads concerning the QBC continue, they will be more popular than the rest of us ;)

    Here's the content for when it get's deleted:

    Quick Buck Crew

    The term Quick Buck Crew was originally thought up by An0n a member of Digital Point Forums. The Quick Buck Crew are a gang of shady webmasters who will do anything to make a quick buck, they have no morals and they would probably steel from their own mothers. Here is a list of typical Quick Buck Crew scams:

    Setting up a paid directory, taking payments and then removing the listings.

    Buying directory listings via PayPal and then once they are listed claiming a refund for no good reason.

    Ripping off the name of a popular directory to try and trick people into thinking they are the real thing and submitting.

    Taking a free template for a directory or blog and then removing the designed by and sponsored by credits at the bottom that are part of the deal with the free template.

    If you are doing business on the web be careful who you deal with and make sure they are not a member of the notorious Quick Buck crew before you do business. Fortunately there has been a website set up to help you identify Quick Buck Crew members QuickBuckCrew.com. More information about the Quick Buck Crew can also be found at Digital Point Forums.
