    I'm afraid some of the folks started phplb for QB. It's sad. I almost hesitate to promote mine because I don't want to look mine "one of them" even though I made mine more unique in many aspects.

    I have received like 5-10 of those emails. Very irritating because I do not use link bidding directories eventhough I have one. spamming is just not cool!

    Why keep the names secret? I suggest to go public.

    I received an email from Aspidov, who I work with on a regular basis which was promotional, but it did include a link to to a thread he'd started about a flaw in phplb, which was useful, so I had no problem with that.

    What I didn't like is that in the next few days I received the exact same email from 3 bid directories I didn't know minus the link to the thread.

    Unfortunately I've deleted all of them so can't provide references.

    I have received three mails as well. What was shocking was, that i already had a bid in one of them. Still i got a mail from him. :eek:
    I don't know what to say about them. One of them is a close friend and a respected DP member. But this way of promotion has never been and never will be acceptable to anyone. << This, they should learn.

    And i see someone at number 16 in there. BidWebDir ;)
    BTW, Rob, probably you would like to checkout results for Bid Web Directory search results. Number #3 :D

    Yes, i did send the emails, and i am glad i did it manually, not automatically. If some of you would've taken some time and actually made your directory quality with unique content, i wouldn't have found you and send you an email.

    The way i found you was in the thread I posted about buy.html pages. And i did refer to that thread in my emails in the hopes to get your "superb, quality, top sh*t, best promoted directories" to at least change the default text of phplb, because I am freaking sure as hell, you dont know much past changing your template and minimum bid.

    Daily emails?

    Now its time for you to shut it and walk away because right now i smell bullsh*t out of your mouth.

    I sent only one email to each directory owner, and www.bidforpositiondirs.com is FREE to submit to.

    I was not talking about you, Serg. I was talking about the spammers here who make it worse for everyone. They see someone do something, copy it, and overdo it til everyone else gets sick.
