Trolls in the "everything else" forum

<< < (2/3) > >>

Vicious:
I totally understand the situation with Eagle.  And since quite a few members seemed interested in the whole conga line thing it actually made sense.

But with the political posts gone and the conga forum to be gone in a couple of months, it will be nice to see things get back to 'normal'. ;D

What's a conga line (within the context of a message board thread)?

Ray-
You've seen the "Get a FREE Ipod" links, right?  Well, It works like any other pyramid scheme.  You sign up for the free Ipod site by accepting a trial offer for some product or service.  That gets you started.  To get the free Ipod, you have to get 3 or 5 or 10 other people to sign up and complete a trial too, all of them saying "Ray sent Me" when they do.  THEN you get your free Ipod.

The idea behind the Conga line is that with a whole boatload of BYOAC people working together, they can all give each other referrals.  Dude 1 signs up, then 10 more people get in line and he gets his prize.  Then the 2nd person in line starts getting referrals from new sign ups.  The problem is, each person can only sign up once, so it sort of falls apart since we have a finite number of users.  Dude 1 only needed 10 people to sign up after him, then dude 2 needs 10 more for 20... and by the time dude #10 gets to the top of the list, he needs 1000 people to have signed up to score.

Eagle5469 seems to be more centered on his own self-enrichment through conga lines than enriching the BYOAC community.
