I advertise all the time. Except I make a few words of my post a link so it won't be noticed by many. I don't think anyone has ever noticed it actually. :( It was only a link to a rival FF forum either way.

I once joined another final fantasy forum that was advertised in a PM because the person who sent it was from France. I forgot when this was, but I do remember I only made one post.

Other than that, I just delete them. I don't really care.

It's asked that you report all PM advertisements so that we can address the issue. Advertising via thread or PM is not permitted on this site, and we like to address the issue whenever possible.

I've had a few advertisements, once or twice before I was knighted and once or twice after. The latter of the two amused me greatly, as I'm sure you might guess.

Of the reported advertisers, we'll sometimes go for weeks on end without one showing up, and other times we'll have several register in rapid succession, still other times will see an intermittent advertising rate. It fluctuates with very little rhyme or reason, really.

I hate it!! I used to do it to but I'd actually be afraid to get on their nerves. I was always careful. I hate these damn people. They're always asking me to join the same forum aswell. Some blootix crap...

I always get to read those advertisments after the spammer has been banned. It's upsetting; I want to tattle on someone, some day.

Topic-related: who really admits to that kind of thing? -_-;;

Yes, ive had quite a few...

Thing is, I sort of did it, when I told my mate ToD how my new forum was ready, as I asked him if he wanted to be a mod when it was done...I didnt have MSN at the time, and I didnt know that that thing was against the rules...

Anyway, I can see why those spam PM advertising is not allowed, but is what I did the same? I dont see it as wrong...

If it's solicited, it's not spam.

Loads. And if the PMs sent to me after becoming an admin weren't amusing enough, there's always the PMs I've received via Award Guy and Fwab. I remember one of them distinctly asking I don't tell any staff members. That was great.

Miriel

For nearly a year after I joined this site, the only PMs I ever got were from people advertising their site.

I didn't mind though, I mean hey, it was something.

Ive never got a Pm off someone I don't know :p
I rarely send Pm's anyway. I always worry about what the person thinks when they see my name on top of the pm. I'd hate people to think 'Oh god, not her'.

Oh here we go, this one was a classic, sent to this account when I was admin, too.

You know those "Dumbest Criminals" shows they always have? I think this might go down for EoFF's Dumbest "Criminal".

Hey, I see you joined Eyes on Final Fantasy Forums. I'm just gonna tell you that it's not a big deal and not that nice a place at all. There's this one guy Daryl who makes fun of everybody, so I suggest you ignore him. A lot of people left because of him and the forum is practically dead. Trust me, you will learn to not like this place soon.

That's why I'm here to tell you about Site Removed.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v444/ZeeUNLTD/Genomabanner.jpg

www.Site Removed.com

It's an offshoot forum (and a very successful one at that) where me and a lot of 1up veterans hang out and post.

Site Removed's got tons of features:


A great Off Topic board,


An updated Announcements board,


A VERY fun Forum Games board where you can pass time if you're bored,


An Interview Board (where prominent and respected posters are interviewed, starting with the admins going down to the regulars) - keep in mind that n00bs are not interviewed as soon as they sign up. You must be a part of the community for some time to be able to have an Interview after your name in the read-only board,


Great Game boards for each system,


An EXCELLENT Debate/Current Events board. THE BEST Debate board out there, of all the 1up off-shoots (yeah, that includes the Fellowship too),


A lot of fun Topic boards, such as Sports, Movies, and Music,


Site-Related boards (including the invisible mod/admin board where you have NO idea what goes on and what we're discussing).

We recently got CLUBS started! So sign up, create your own club, and get members to join! Or you can join the Site Removed, one of the biggest and most badass clubs on the site!

Best of all, there's ALWAYS members on, and the Mod Army makes sure that no one's causing trouble. The last spammer we had over there was a little over a week ago, and his ass was napalmed from here to Hong Kong when the Mod Army was through with him.

Yup! It's just started out (2 months in business) and already we have more than 100 members, about 30 of which post on a regular basis. IMO it's the best community forum out there with the coolest and nicest members, so come and check us out. If you like what you see, which I guarantee you will, join the fun!

Yeah. I laughed out loud and then banned the bum.
