These twits have repeatedly spammed me after I've requested that they stop. Not a problem. They have discussion thread that doesn't require any sort of login. Oh look! Here's the url:

Bottom line: Don't mess with UBBDEV

It's funny how quickly someone responds when you take the fight to their homefront.

I wonder if they have any concept how insecure WWWBoards are.

Here's what happened:

I kept receiving their newsletter, so I sent them an email that basically said that if they didn't stop sending me their newsletter I would take matters into my own hands.

The following day I received newsletter number four. So, I went to their site and posted a HUGE ad for UBBDEV entitled "How Do You Like Your Spam Now?"

A few minutes later I received an email stating that they were very sorry about the unfortunate incident and that I would be taken off of their mailing list A.S.A.P.

Funny how things work.

Pretty funny DB, especially since you called them "wastes of space." An interesting thing to call realtors, too. LOL!

Rats, sorry I missed it, they musta deleted it soon after. smile

We need to create a standard anti-spam counter-measure ad for such cases where they are nice enough to provide a forum to express our opinions. laugh

The way I see it, if someone is going to be rude enough to SPAM one us after we have repeatedly asked to be removed from their list, then they should be respectful enough to appreciate it when we either "reply all" or flame their forum with a nice BIG advertisement for UBBDEV!

LET IT BE KNOWN THAT IF YOU MESS WITH THE UBBDEV COMMUNITY, WE'LL FIND YOU (OR YOUR SITE.)
