You know what I'm talking about. There's probably about 3 on the front page right now. They speak in grammar that's even worse than mine and they advertise junk that no one cares about. Or do you?

I thought I'd make a quick topic out of sheer curiosity as to how many actually consider their random offers on what ever they're advertising, to see how pointless their cheap advertisement budget really is. You can always vote anonymously, if you want.

Personally, I read them for a laugh. Never will I consider visiting their (likely virus infected) links. Their terrible post structure, their terrible grammar, their terrible attempts to sell their products and flat out terribleness often give me a laugh. Then I report them, of course.

I love them threads, filled up with all kinds of beautiful gifts and celebrations supplies, to enjoy. In the evening. Or at the beach. With some people you know and like or love. Like a glove, fittin'.

What Im curious about is: do they just make these topics at a bunch of websites hoping to get a bite or do they have a marketing team doing research?

"studies have shown that 47% of GS users have both the will and disposable income to travel to other countries, but are woefully inept when it comes to obtaining an authentic passport" :P

Usually I just ignore them. If the thread' s title though is funny enough I may post a witty comment and leave. I never NEVER read what they say.

I made a thread about this issue before. All that needs to be done is increase the level you have to be to begin posting in OT

Same. Can't go a day without getting rid of at least two or three just on OT alone.

Well, this is an international website, I'm sure if nobody was taking a bite at the ads they would stop due to it being a waste of time.

Surprised to see that anyone at all was actually interested in their junk. Or perhaps it's the spambots voting! :o

Telling them to **** off isn't really accomplishing anything. I post in them for no real reason. It's comforting
