Michael P of QWEBEC Expo inside.
 

My contact form is not a place for you to spam your expo shit. It's meant for clients and potential clients.

Want me at it? Pay for a plane ticket, and all expenses, otherwise, stick to a proper double opt-in newsletter and not spamming your bullshit. :mad:

So Much Anger, Son!

it's a good show though ;)

too bad i have accidentally booked vacation at that time, otherwise i would go

I don't approve of, support, or engage in any spamming activities... I have a newsletter on my site and it collects emails, double opt-in and I don't even have a way to send emails to them yet...

I expect better from someone like Michael, not to spam a developers contact form. It has captcha on it, so he had to manually do it too, that makes it even worse.

This is a cold call. You should see how many I get. Not a big deal, and you never know what business you can pull out of them.

Next time just delete it.

According to the laws, he has not done 2 of the 3 requirements, that my friend is spam... And he only qualified for the first one because the subject isn't settable on the contact form, so I gave him that.

I find it funny that so many people here are all "just delete it" when it comes to laws being broken regarding spam, but heaven forbid a site has full length videos on it, and follows legal requirements regarding DMCA... :upsidedow

Yes it was manually.

I truly apologize if I offended you.

Just trying to bring the most people for the benefit of everyone coming to the event.

I will never contact you again... Promise... Sorry again :thumbsup

I would complain to his upstream provider if it bugs you.

I've been part of this industry for many years... I know what QWEBEC Expo is... I don't need you clogging up my contact form meant for my customers.... Would you like me to send you unsolicated emails to [email protected] about everything I do? Of course you wouldn't.

Nah, this was a thread meant to let him and the public know that it's not acceptable to spam people. Period. If it did bother me that much, I wouldn't complain to his upstream provider or even had made this thread, but would have just contacted the FCC right away.

It's a damn good show though...
You can spam me anytime Michael...my inbox is your inbox :) :)

get over your self and grow up ...fucking comes on gfy to complain about an email lol I have heard it all

and by the way he is from Canada...dont know how you can enforce a us law my friend

Awwww Txs, Too Sad you can,t make it this year. We'll miss you Stefan... (Yes I sent you one too) Sorry :winkwink:

You're right, I can't enforce US laws in Canada, but a quick lookup of Canada's CAN-SPAM Act shows that it's much more strict than the US, meaning I have to express to him that I want him to send me his marketing... Whereas in the US you only have to provide those 3 things mentioned in my previous reply.

But hey, go ahead and tell people to get over someone breaking the law, all while bitching about legal websites. :upsidedow

Anyway, this thread can die now, Michael saw it, and my point to him was conveyed. :thumbsup

I'm going back to coding, enjoy your day. :winkwink:

fucking spammers. nothing shocks me anymore

So Dankasaurus was successful in showing to all he as 0 tolerance for a hard working member of this industry and needed to cry wolf about 1 single introduction email.

Good job dood... hope you feel big and tall now :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

OK for the record, and not tryin to defend myself,

Yes I spend the morning sending that one email to some people I found here on GFY.... Amazing how some people never heard about us even after 10 years. Also sometime people forget the dates and book something else.

If you received the email and are not happy with that, please kindly reply with 'REMOVE', I'll understand.

It is not my intention to send multiples mails to everyone anyway.

My genuine apologies again :thumbsup

ha ha dude I will tell you this...murders here go to jail for a couple years here...the last fucking thing that is ever going to be enforced here is a spam law :2 cents:
and the absolutely last place in Canada that they are gonna take an American serious is Quebec. Hate to tell you this buddy but nobody give a fuck.

You should be locked up forever. You are a monster.

So Jman doesn't understand CAN-SPAM Appliance, and allows a "stand up bro" to break the law, but thinks fully legal sites are bad.

You people need to learn about proper CAN-SPAM Appliance and how to keep your own companies in the green, because most of you don't understand it and aren't even compliant.

Michael, since you're the only one who understands the reason I made this thread, I do want to thank you. But just to let you know, unless I had specifically said "yeah send me that email!" or had signed up for your newsletter, what you're doing falls under CAN-SPAM as illegal... Which could be pretty harmful to your business if enough people report it as spam, and people really do... Especially with the easy 1 click button that Google offers in Gmail to flag that email as spam. Your name, business, website, and ip addresses are all flagged...

Just so you get it through your thick head most spammers, tube owners, cc bangers...are from Canada. There is a reason for that cause the laws dont apply here and nobody gives a fuck.

Yeah nobody gives a fuck. :upsidedow

look at you coming on a board to complain about an email what a fuckin loser:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Shouldn't you be in the buy and sell section selling content packs for $99 so you can afford to pay your way into the races?

I have a feeling this thread is going to help bring at least 10-15 more people to the QWEBEC Expo...well done guys, and I'll see you all there! :)

You cam on here to complain about an email?
Industry related.
This is not a guy trying to sell you bs.

I dont understand what they hell difference it would make to delete an email or email him back and ask him to take you off your list.:2 cents:

Yes - like it or not. Unless he consider himself a consumer, rather than a webmaster :1orglaugh

I'm a programmer. :)

Its actually a fuckin great show. One of my favs. Montreal rocks, best city in North America especially during the summer.
Of course Dankasour won't ever find that out

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup

nice that the organizers are so involved

uhmm sorry for trying to do business on a business board.

Looking forward to your show, Michael.

Good luck Michael, all the best. :thumbsup

And......

These are business shows. I know you sell software. I would say for a guy like you it would be a great place to go and network

Its a good break, great city and you will make your money back x 5 within a few months:2 cents:

So there is no chance, you could sell one of your products to a show attendees, affiliate, program owner ?

Or maybe recruit a few more affiliates, since you have a program ?


Just sayin' :thumbsup

Not worth the cost. I can network just as well through my current and future clients... No need to pay a $250 fee for an event, on top of round trip tickets, hotel stay, and cost of everything else... 12 years without ever going to an event, I have no real want to go anytime soon... Actually I am wrong, I may go to Vegas next year mostly to meet up with some long time web buddies and because I have friends in Vegas so the cost is really cheap.

Correction : 250$ is for a Meet Market Table including one badge. (up to 2 additional badges for tables exhibitors @ $100 ea.)

Registration is only $160. probably the lowest in the whole circuit.

Now for those interested, let's do some maths :winkwink:

1 badge = $160
1 Table including 1 badge = $250
only $90 for the table

2 Badges = $320
1 Table including 1 badge = $250 + 1 additional badge @ $100 = $350
only $30 for the table

3 Badges = $480
1 Table including 1 badge = $250 + 2 additional badge @ $100 = $450 :thumbsup
you save $30 and have the table

Plus $800 round trip plane tickets to and from Montreal, A decent hotel will be about $100 or more a night, so that's an extra $500... So I'm paying $1500+ for something that I can do for free... That's not counting no work being done for 5 days...

I see shows like I seen college... I could go to college, pay all this money and meet good people, experience things... Or I could just skip college, and spend that time making money instead of spending money, and still get the same out of it.

I've been a programmer for 14 years, I have more skills and knowledge teaching myself than my buddy who graduated college for computer science... He has a $30,000 debt to the college, while I've made more than that in a single year...

I guess if partying and talking face to face with people who may or may not be customers is your thing, go ahead... But like I said, 12 years experience without it, I am content.

Programmer must mean something different up there.
