Could this be considered spaming? I think so. I am not intrested and dont want any part of this.

I would consider that spamming. I personally think that people shouldn't advertise other Technology based forums here unless they offer something substantial that TF doesn't (and that does not include porn). I think posts promoting OI Forums and other spin-off forums should be deleted.

Porn? Where?
But I don't agree with these kind of PM's either. I only have a small link in my sig.

He should be booted.

Uhh, I honestly had no idea that he was doing this. I'll ask him to stop. And OIF is not a total rip-off of TF. What is the same?

Your sig is fine, but sending out a pm, thats different. Its just like recieving a spam email. Or a spam post on tf.

They do raise a vaild point though about your board. The first time I looked at it, the only difference between TF and yours was the color scheme. Other than that, it was identical. Same layout, same topics .. even the same members. ****, you even have the same discussions in the same topics that you have here.
After going again to see if there was something different, I didn't see any really. It's almost like going to the grocery store and buying the no name brand of your favorite product. It may look the same, but there is no replacing or duplicating the original.

It was just a temporary thing until I could do stuff on my own. Oh yea, and I'm sory I copied threads such as desktop screenshots and member's pictures.

Dan, we talk shyt, because you have strayed from the path. You have lost your way, my son. TF has always been your home, all you ever needed, all that you do need. And yet, you have chosen to lead, to your own path.

Very well. You may go. Be free and prosper...

Just hold still while we tar and feather you on yer way out!

Umm, wow. It's not like I'm leaving TF...
