Why is it closed?

Low friends in high places?

hahahaha thats too fucking pathetic.... the people who run this board take the old jack nicholson aproach of telling all gfyers that YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH!

zango is a great company. i don't understand the hate here for them.

Interesting

ZANGO IS A GREAT COMPANY and so is AFF!!!

IT IS A DONE DEAL!






Mods please lock up this thread!

The other half of the planet was bored of your whinging?

Lol... This thread makes my balls itch :)

Thats crabs - sorry :Oh crap

Closing threads is pretty lame.

That may be the effect of being a longer term sponsor, but that would be speculation. There hasn't been any really strong AFF threads for a while.

I see that the FTC has started imposing fines on a few companies for advertising on Adware.

180 solutions(Zango) paid 3 millions in fine.

It's funny cause Aff bought ads on Gfy's sites so you would think they would be pissed off.

If they want to start locking threads one way to fix that is start making more.

This is a messageboard to talk about industry topics and shit right ? AFF using zango is as good a topic as any that is industry related. Perhaps they want to start censoring what is said here? If they close more threads, i say start more, i doubt they will want to ban people for following their rules and damage their board just to make AFF happy.

I hope your ClickCash income didnt depend on the damage you did the opposition.

You must owe ClickCash a FORTUNE by now. :)

Or perhaps Lars was the one paying you? - I wish he would let me in on it.......

you bump any thread enough times and it'll get locked.

That's been a standard policy on GFY since day one. When threads get endlessly bumped for months on end they get locked, and many users have been banned for it long before I got here. I don't see any change in the history of close to 7 years of GFY operation.

Q: My post was locked or deleted. Is it ok if I post that topic again?
A: Hmmm... I know you think this might be the way to go. But lets just say that your post was locked or deleted for a reason. It was meant to go away. Let it!

drunk ? what the hell did you just say ?

Im not that drunk Will.....

You know what I said.

The "thread" might be old but the topic isn't since AFF is still using zango.

So i guess it is ok to make new thread then about the same thing? but can't bump the old one?

LOL I honestly couldn't make that out, does anyone here speak "drunk" so they can translate to me ?

I believe that has been clearly answered.

So for clarification, are you saying that we are suppose to stop making threads about AFF using zango ? because that was a " reminder thread" to let people know 1. AFF uses Zango and 2. That they are still using zango and have done nothing about it.

New people come to this site everyday and don't know about this, but from what it sounds like you are saying here is that we are not suppose to start any more AFF zango threads.

Care to be a little clearer instead of copy and pasting the "rules".

:( :helpme

Ouch. :helpme

Is there a Zango or AFF skin coming soon or something?

For "Clarification" - shut the fuck up Will.

Is that clear enough for you?

Since today seems to be the day of enforcing rules, how come Paul Markham is still not banned? Wasn't creating/using multiple nicks a bannable offense? Or is it just bannable for some? :)

I was wonder that also.

a. Why? To make AFF and the big TGPs and programs who still promote AFF and other Zango customers feel better?

b. The Zango topics had many contributors (including yourself) and the now locked thread was not being kept alive by just one person. Why single out Will?

c. The issue hasn't gone away, so why should discussion of it?

zango sucks

What about applying said rule to the post-whoring contest threads too? :2 cents:

Don't we already know the answer to that one?

The rules seem to come into play when they want someone or something gone. Otherwise...

Yeah, I guess the question was mostly rhetorical... :)

That kinda reminds me of the way the american goverment uses 2257 and obscenity charges : )

Anyhow, i agree that its annoying to see the same thread on the first page forever, but compared with the "what song is your penis listening to right now?"-threads, i really dont mind that a business-related thread takes their place.

Besides, doesnt it create a lot of dramas (=views and posts)?

So many users post drivel (juicylinks) on gfy and a thread that reminded old webmasters and warned new about extreme ongoing thievery by a big sponsor to inflate their payouts isn't allowed to live on?

"An Inconvenient Truth" describes it best I think. Some people need a spine replacement..

ROFL, right...

it just so happens to be a very heated thread ! NOT CONNECTED AT ALL!

FUCK AFF AND FUCK ZANGO
