View Full Version : Warning about EZBoard

If your over 18 -


Be warned. It appears EZboard had sold your email to porn spammers. If you have "allowed" Ezboard to send you email on "offers", you too could be wrapped up in it.

Now I am truly offended and disgusted.

Although disgusted by this I'm not all that surprised they did it due to their track record thus far.

Next thing you know they'll be looking up our addresses and selling us to slave labor.

Yep, cause that's the next logical step.

.....

Yeah, I have nothing on this one >.<

I got ezboard officially-branded spam the other day, and I've not given them permission to send me stuff. Guess I'm happy I hardly even visit ezboards anymore.

Holy crud...I got the EZBoard email that gave me the opt-out instructions, and of course I immediately opted out. Now I'm extra glad I did, because I certainly wouldn't want to be getting porn spam to help keep them alive. :x

This is definitely a last-gasp thing, I hope it blows up in their collective faces. :mad

Not that I've got anything against porn, but this sort of thing is really scraping the barrel for EZBoard to stoop to new levels such as this. I'm not suprised.

LOL. Like twice a month I get a spam which indicates that I can get 3 free panties. There are some nice pictures that illustrate the product's use, so I just let it be.

I got a new caption for your avatar, Anbira:

Using his X-Ray vision, Anbira tells Lois what color her underwear is...

Yahoo has a bulk mail folder where all my spam (or most of it) gets sent, so I don't even look at it.

Hey, following their style, would it in this case be called Ezporn? :)

Y'know, that post suddenly reminded me...a coworker of mine is pregnant, and she and her hubby are desperately trying to think of names. She really likes the name Marina, but her husband won't go for that because he said, "That sounds like the name of Aquaman's wife."

The really sad part of this is, my coworker had no clue who Aquaman is so I had to explain it to her. :cry

I would suggest naming the kid "Skeletor"

Nobody would DARE give Skeletor a wedgie, unless they were He-Man.

And naming a kid He-Man is just stupid.

SPAM = Soccer Players Against Malnutrition




I disallowed the offers and I'm still getting this garbage.

I swear, if I have to listen to my roommate ask me one more time why I need free viagra samples, I'm gonna go stark raving kabongos.
