Explained....

I didn't read the whole thread so I can't really say, but in fact. it's in GR's heart and mind that it IS really independent considering spam except both banner advertisement ... I mean, since it's beginning this has never been done and never been even THOUGHT. You should more worry about your members than your own site, because members is what makes your site. Just letting you know, try asking people on IRC before doing something you ain't sure because I too am thinking GR is REALLY going down hill since the last 3 months.

 

Never got an email...lol...

The present members are so edgy. ONE 'wrong' email, and they get pissed off!

 

You do know that if someone contacted DPA, you could have the site shut down, and you fined? If that EVER happens again, I'll be someone.

 

Actually no.
Since he didnt give any ones e-mail out since it was sent by GR it is NOT in breach of the DPA.

Also, all this crap about these advertisements killing GR in the past few months, thats bull...
The way GR is going down hill is nothing to do with Shaggy, its the members who are killing this site.

 

ok people who were offended by the email boohoo its 1 email get over it

 

it wouldnt have bothered me as much if it had been any other site but with it being ShoutGFX, a site that alot of people hate, thats was the worst part

 

Now thats the interesing part

 

sweet, as long as youre not planning on doing it again lol

 

lol @ bratzer

It wasn't smart, but he admits it, now just stop to talk about it.

(btw, you do have the right to post your sites, its just weird imo)

 

its not shaggy we should be mad about , its those damn plastic midgets

 

So let me get this straight. Lots of members got emailed about this thing and got pissed off ...

Is might be me but that sounds just stupid. Its just an email, God !

 

Completely agreed.

When I saw that e-mail, I said to myself "Hmm... where's my burger?" Know why? Because I don't give a damn about what shout's doing over there. They're pumping all this money into advertising a clone of GR that's crappier. Shaggy didn't know the history between Shout and GR completely most likely, so we can't really hold him responsable for that side of it. Was sending an e-mail like that wrong? Perhaps, but you've gotta do what you gotta do to keep this site afloat and I can see that aspect of it all. He's said he won't do something like that ever again, so that should be the end of it. There really wasn't any reason to keep this thread going, in my eyes it should be closed since it's pretty much resolved.

To those newer members or members that haven't been around consistently, you don't know everything that's happened between GR and Shout before that e-mail and even Shaggy came around.

 

lol be quiet, come back when you know what you're talking about.

 

Guy's, You get around 1000+ Email's from MSN, Yahoo, Google or any other service's... Do you report why they did so?
I don't think you do, GameRender's is also an server which proivde's Graphical need's, Stop braggin' about one email, Seriously, It's not really nice.

 

Seriously, asking for money by e-mail ?

using GR mail ?

isnt that against the Data Protection Act 1998 ?

i didnt give my e-mail address to be asked for money ?

nice. i like the way u run this place

even a baby could run GR better than you can.
