i have never left my flyers on peoples comment pages with the exception of my last girl talk show....but im about to start dropping my videos heavy on peoples pages this week. i consider myself a pretty light promoter, i just think over promotion is so fucking obnoxious.

might as well cover my car with flyers


i also like how my personal invite was exactly the same as doug's - you should start doing wedding invite type flyering so people feel really special...include RSVP cards, have place cards at the bar for everyone when they come in...oh and thrown in an open bar too.

This is probably the dumbest shit I've seen people get mad at. Hit delete and move on with your life.


Danny, you do a hell of a job promoting and it shows.

Agreed, that was't an issue for me. Promotion is good for some people, others prefer a different approach. It's always going to be that way.

From my perspective, yeah, hit delete and move on. However, I (and hopefully the others) are looking at it from the perspective of a user. Pm's here are meant to be more private and personal.

Also, many people have email notification turned on, and then when they come here to find something like this, they get pissed at the forum. If there were an option on the forum to disable "events notifications" that would be one thing - but there isn't. This isn't myspace.

I think the next version of phpbb does allow multiple messages - so we need to set a policy now.

The messaging on THIS forum is not meant for Spam as broadly defined by the following statement "To indiscriminately send unsolicited, unwanted, irrelevant, or inappropriate messages, especially commercial advertising in mass quantities. Noun: electronic "junk mail"."

Going forward, anyone found in violation of this will have instant messaging disabled - no questions asked. Users can forward PMs to moderators to report spam.

and the one of the deciding factors in the great turnout for the Terry Grant show;)

it's a double edged sword...but overall it works.

the pm'ing is understood...

but if I alienate one person, and gain 50 new ones...well, the math is easy on that.


but yeah...get a life, move on hit delete.

clearly you irritated more than one person

on your math...pming me (or anyone else you pissed off) isn't going to get 50 other people to come

I said that I "get it" on the PM...not doing it anymore. Why are we still beating a dead horse here? For you not to go out because you got a PM from me is insane...really I think it is.

In all fairness to Stiffy, Justin resurrected this thread.

I say we leave it at Doug's "here are the rules" post and lock this mufug.
