OAP 3some

Read the contract

He has until the 1st April 2007.

I can't believe that that counter is counting unique hits, at the rate it's going up...

I don't. Not at all.

If it was true and he is getting what, more then 1000 uniques an hour he could be self employed using Google Ads.

Sorry, im a sceptic (sp?)

The forum I got it from had another 20 members posting it in other forums, very likely to be genuine

Inquisitor · 5 Apr 2006 at 21:20

In fact, if it was counting unique hits, then it could only have started about 10-20 minutes ago... (not to mention he'd probably need a VDS to host the site).

lucky SOAB to be honest. It'll get the hits alright

Na, just spread very fast. Do you remember how popular The Blair Witch Project was because of work of mouth?

Yes, plus at the start of this topic it had 20k visits (apparently) and even then it had:

ue to potentially high bandwidth issues, GameFly.com

has agreed to sponsor my web page...
They're kinda like Netflix for video games.

That was just more then one month (end of Feb - April)

Now, in 15mins he has more then doubled in popularity and the 'bandwidth' is going fine and speed is great

I personaly think 2million hits is a lot, but hey

Wow, he getting a lot of hits on there, if you refresh and go down to the counter again it goes up quite a lot each time.

Does she mean what I think she means?

(i.e. does she mean what I'd like her to mean?)

That link to the dating site looks like a refferal link, i bet its a con

Your right about the referall link, just checked that out. I'm not sure about the whole thing being a con though, although i suppose it could very well be...

No, but I did.

And only towards her, not towards you

It'll get two million hits easily, because it targets the kind of naive people who are willing to spread the site via bebo/myspace/msn/yahoo or whatever they use these days. "Help dis guy get a freesum lol!!!" the masses will scream, and alas... he will get what he wants.

A quick WHOIS on the domain name reveals it's registered to a Brent Williams. Why does he claim his name is Jim when the domain is registered in someone elses name? The Metrodate link looks like a referral link, and multiplying the size of the page (About 25KB) by the number of claimed hits, he's only transferred about 1GB so far. That's hardly enough to warrant "sponsorship" from GameFly.com. Infact, if he was being sponsored by them, they'd most likely pay him a flat fee rather than get him to put up a referral link.

So please, stop spreading that rubbish

Spyhop · 5 Apr 2006 at 21:34

Doesn't necessarily mean it's a con. Might as well try and make a quick buck off of it too. :cool:

Or maybe it's for real, it's just fun anyway buddy, don't think too much

JayMax · 5 Apr 2006 at 22:53

My foot is firmly planted in the 'it's a guy out making a fast buck' camp.
Not a bad idea considering the crud that flies about on the net now, he'll have his 5 minutes of fame and maybe make a decent five figure sum out of it. Fair play I say.

ScarySquirrel · 5 Apr 2006 at 23:43

lol, i like the written agreement
