Never got a christmas present from a sponsor before so save the bucks on advertisements in mail until christmas and use the oppertunity to please a hard working webmaster instead

i agree i do get post of sponsors if it are realy important stuff, like they change the old program to a new and i have to change urls before an certain dat, but if i have an program already i dont need post in my real email with adds to sing up or whatever, i have kids here i keep them already away from the puter do i also have to keep them away from my real mail box., my kids love to open the mail for me...so i lett them..and i didnt ask the mail so i dont want it. |cool|

I totally understand what you all mean about getting adult junk mail in your mail box, and I understand that yes, the government is making money from the postage and that the company sending you the junk mail is paying for it, but in a nutshell I hate that way more than spam. I throw away about 15 mailings a day, each a few pages long, that stuff fills up my trash can pretty fast. They kill tons of trees each year with it. What I don't understand is why the consumers do not complain more about it. IMHO junk postal mail should be banned as well, unless I subscribe to "please fill my trash can" list.

Pottery Barn is mainstream, dude. Now - let's talk about Ballard Designs. That's PORN, baby. And I don't appreciate it one bit. How dare those bastards fill me with lustful desires? I yearn for their (curtain) rods. I crave their sexy (drawer and door) knobs.

*sigh*

Biggest disappointment here was opening a 'chck' to find out it wasn't!
I can see the point about the content though - my daughter is 9 and although there is nothing x rated I wouldn't have wanted her opening that one up.
Oh, and I was also already signed up with them

Gotta say though, that if I wasn't, that wouldn't have led me to sign up, I'd have been far far more tempted to sign up if it was made as an announcement on the boards.

Yeah - that is the one thing that pisses me off - the 1st time I got one like this, I emailed the sponsor & told them they forgot to include my check

I'm not special, so I didn't get this particular junk mail - how was it delivered? Regular envelope? Post card type thing? Magazine/flyer?

stuveltje · 2005-04-16, 07:48 AM

its was so small kind of envolope thing where you expect your checks in with poststamp, and in that a small thin flyer thing with text to promoot the program and then the 3 famouse teens on it

Thumbler · 2005-04-16, 08:16 AM

Mine was delivered by the mailman

It just came in a regular envelope, could easily have been a check from CC Bill - except there was no check inside of course

Woohoo - GG quoted me!!!!

lol, seriously, the flyer came in an envelope you'd expect a check in- looked pretty much like a nastydollars check, except it wasn't! Even the wife thought it was a check, man, you shoulda seen her eyes light up then shut down lol

Again, seriously - and I'd be interested in others thoughts here - if it was a board announcement I'd have looked into it in more detail. There you go teen revenue - honest feedback

Hope it helps!
