curses.

altho, looks more like a copycat than a scam/hoax.

think of it as helping as many people as you can to achieve a goal in life.

the second link (grim'ds) is the original it seems. they actually have the letter and the names match up.

But they're still doing it just to get the ad revenue.

Domain Server for HELPWINTHISBET.COM is NS0.LETSMEETUP.INFO - coincidence?

www.letsmeetup.info is apparently the "sexiest adult..." something. I closed it quickly realising that "sexiest adult..." somethings are not good things to have in my internet access logs. Especially as yesterday I went to a seemingly innocent link from a mate and it turned out to be a guide (or an ad to a guide I think) detailing how to become a porn producer.
If they pull me up on the logs they will no doubt come to the conclusion that I'm planning a career in the fine arts and was scouring the net for models while I should be working.
Is that gross misconduct?

Depends on your contract of employment, I should think. Were you doing this in your 'own' time?

Of course not.

Hey everybody,
You got it right, that first one is the copycat. He made it soon after myself and literally just copied and pasted my site into his. He didn't even bother to add any more updates... If he had put more time into it, he might have gotten more of my hits. As it is, he's just annoying to me.

"could not be found"

as spamposting goes, that's poor
;) heh


i'm a big fan of those leech-sites which nick the graphics by URL, rather than re-hosting, and the owner finds out, and mods the graphics to something either/both accusatory or obscene.

temporary but fucking HILARIOUS

one girl i knew moved all her own site's graphics to new urls and changed all her old graphics to a Goatse.cx overlaid with "[name] is a THIEVING LYING WHORE"

she won my heart in that moment.

which reminds me, i should ask for that back -- i've got some marathongs coming up
