    First of all. I never said shout and gr were partner sites. Micheal started saying that but i never agreed. I did not give him your emails. He just gave me that write up and I did a mass email.

    Didn't think this one (ONE!!!) mass email would have pissed you all off. One little email about of contest at shout, which he paid for just like he paid for a banner ad, a contest announcement post (llama started the sell of that where you can buy a forum annoucement), and the the donator - prem accounts. Not sure what all the fuss is about?

    This was a test run anyways, I was not planing on doing another one, so don't think there will be another one coming. The only emails you will get from GR now are newsletters. (If that)

    Also, I think I have the right to post about my sites, don't you think? :blink:

    I didn't even realize I got an email. O_O I wouldn't have minded anyway. >_>





    EDIT: WTF, I just read some of the threads about this, and seriously, just about the entire board over reacted towards this. O_O;

    It was frustrating and off-putting and brought down the rep of GR >_>

    I no longer check my email that is registered under this account.

    However, Shaggy your attitudes towards some of these members expressing their opinion which you clearly asked for suprises me, you are owner of this site, the members here make this site you should show some what respect towards the one, even if their reply didnt state exactly why they didnt like it or what not, but that doesnt give you a right to come back with a sarcastic remark asking them to explain themselves.

    No disrespect towards you Shaggy, as I dont know you, and you dont know me.

    But, it does suprise me how youre acting towards this.

    I can define it as spam, ie Advertising ones site through members who registered at one.
    Lets say I join such an offer site and they decided to share my email to promote another site.Aw ---- there my email goes into an endless loop of ----.

    With this however you're promoting shoutgfx because apparently they're throwing money at you.

    And no as you says its not like you flooded my inbox with spam, but the fact is you sent a "spam email" plugging another sites contest not related to gr in anyway but it was signed with grs forum stats and says "A contest from Gamerenders" in the title.
    So I opened it expecting a big contest concerning this site but to my displeasure SHOCK! HORROR! another site.

    Then theres these announcements that are being added, quite annoying to see join shuot gfx everywhere. It makes you wonder how much money Michael is throwing around the place and suspiciously in his acccount he has 35k odd credits and decides to hmm donate them to people in need to show how great his site was? Then theres this stuff of a partnership, where exactly did this come from, i'm sure he didn't make it up.
    THAT would be a bad move.

    Then theres your attitude towards some people, the general impression we're getting is you don't care much about the community and are just focused on profiteering off this site.
    As you can see GR is very much about the community as a whole and we don't need to be messed around and used for advertising schemes.

    You should get in IRC too, at least show some decency to get to know the community, maybe you'll be accepted after a while but right now you're not off to the best of starts.
    At least idle there and listen to our thoughts. However useless they may be.

    P.S.
    I don't like your name and your avatar is weird.

    Fine, I understand your ideas on the email. But the question that I am asking is why am I getting screamed at about this? I was just trying something out. It didn't work, so I won't be doing it again. The partnership thing that Mike its talking about is from him. He kept saying llama and he partnered awhile ago, which I knew was a lie and for some odd reason he kepts saying GR and his site were partners. I never once said we are partners!!

    I'm sorry I'm not in IRC alot, I get 20 + pms a day with problems on the boards, I have no time to chat. I care about everyone here and try to help everyone that pms me with a problem. Yes, I want to try to make some money with this site and also what to make everyone here happy with it.

    I'm in the process of getting a new, ratical skin for it. Don't think I'm just sitting back and doing nothing to improve the site. I'm working on it. I also have spent all kinds of time and money on a huge server to keep this forum running smoothly, but I then get crap about one email I sent out? Come guys/gals, give me a break. The email was a test run that didn't go well so just leave it at that.
