Well it doesn't exactly look busy yet - even Hyndburnlite showed more signs of life.

You seen what she wants - 400 members in 10 days!!!

Do you think she'll do it? lol

I know i'm a bit thick, but can someone explain what this is all about? I havn't a clue what your talking about, (site geriatric).

shillelagh · 17-01-2007, 00:40

Someone posted a link on Burnleyweb saying that they'd seen it on this new site and giving a link to it at the same time.

Which when you go and have a look at it - theres no links there for burnley web. They just wanted to put the addy on for the new site and try and get away with it.

Its what they call spamming Ian.

must admit even i wondered what it as all about...????????

I understand the spamming is wrong, we had this issue with hatter. Just be up front, ask the admin if you can add your website to your signature or post a link and reciprocate the gesture on your own website

I wish her the best of luck, it actually looks a nice site

jamesicus · 17-01-2007, 01:19

Rethink of posting.

WillowTheWhisp · 17-01-2007, 09:04

It looks nice but are people going to post there when they've already got active local sites? And the areas that don't have active sites covering their towns are they going to bother anyway? I wish there was a good Morecambe one as lively as AccyWeb.

Hi Neal,

I've just been pointed in the direction of this post and had to reply to clarify things.

I (personally) have no knowledge of an incident of spamming on this or any other site. That certainly isn't my style at all. And if you were to be fair, having visited my site quite often, you would probably also, maybe only privately, acknowledge that fact.

I did think your post on my site quite strange when you advertised in it but the post remains to this day, unless you decide to modify it yourself. At least now I understand why you placed it. It would be very tempting here to link to that post (as I said, not my style) and show this site the immediate, and very warm, welcome you received from me, despite the advertising.

All I am saying guys is that I do not condone spamming in any way, shape or form. If it happened it happened, and I apologise on behalf of my website, but it was not done with my blessing.

This is a great site BTW

Suz x.

P.S. Please can a mod remove my personal details from this topic

Hi Suz, It wasn't this site where the spamming occurred, it was over on Neal's Burnley & Pendle site.

I think Kipax obtained your name from the same place I found your name and address (although I chose not to post it) - when you register a domain name your personal details, name and address where you registered, are available online for all the world to see.
