Seriously... its getting super old. I like how he wants to make money and everything, but astroturfing his stupid txting service all over the message board is getting really old. Somehow he finds a way to work ChaCha into most of his posts and even gives us the number to dial - so he is obviously trying to get us to call it and not just talking about it.

This thread was over the top, IMO, by trying to solicit people to call his service in order to get April Fool's day suggestions. BUY AN AD!!!!

this thread reeks of sandy vaginatosis.

DJE provides much more positive content to this site than you ever have

do you seriously think one of us is going to suspend DJE for few posts he makes about a very

popular service?

im going to leave this thread unlocked for a little while just b/c i can foresee some funny in its future.

4/1/2009 5:07:50 PM

weak dude. the degree to which this is spam is laughable. now if he were making a thread a day or interjecting chacha links/references into other threads, yeah that would warrant some action

way to make yourself look like a whiny bitch though

Well, he does and that's why I posted this.

Here he has cross-posted the same commercial message clearly designed to solicit users of his service in different threads.

Quote :

"All you have to do is text PRJ (that stands for prank joke) to ChaCha. (242242). They've got more pranks than you have friends, so keep asking until you find one you like! And best of all, IT'S FREE!"

If that's not spam, I don't know what is. In fact, it doesn't even sound like djeternal even wrote that post. It sounds like it was emailed to him for posting by his astroturfing employer.

Buzz Marketing:

Quote :

"Buzz marketing is a viral marketing technique that attempts to make each encounter with a consumer appear to be a unique, spontaneous personal exchange of information instead of a calculated marketing pitch choreographed by a professional advertiser. Historically, buzz marketing campaigns have been designed to be very theatrical in nature. The advertiser reveals information about the product or service to only a few "knowing" people in the target audience. By purposely seeking out one-on-one conversations with those who heavily influence their peers, buzz marketers create a sophisticated word-of-mouth campaign where consumers are flattered to be included in the elite group of those "in the know" and willingly spread the word to their friends and colleagues. Although buzz marketing is not new, Internet technology has changed the way it's being used. Buzz campaigns are now being initiated in chat rooms, where marketing representatives assume an identity appropriate to their target audience and pitch their product. Personal Web logs (blogs) are another popular media for electronic buzz marketing campaigns; advertisers seek out authors of the "right kind of blog" and trade product or currency for promotion. Instant messaging (IM) applications are also being looked at as a vehicle for carrying out buzz marketing campaigns with either humans or IM bots doing the pitching. As with all buzz campaigns, the power of the IM model relies on the influence an individual has in an established small network -- in this case, his buddy list. As technology continues to facilitate the delivery of a electronic buzz marketing message easier, and software applications make message deliveries easier to quantify, some advertising experts predict that electronic buzz marketing techniques will become a standard component in all cross-media advertising campaigns. Others warn that abuse of this potentially powerful electronic marketing technique will be its downfall. "

Look, maybe you guys haven't been on the internet long enough to identify spam when you see it, but its pretty obvious what's going on here.

youre gonna need a mop to clean the tears in this thread

4/1/2009 5:25:59 PM

well I guess its a good thing its safe to use a mop on astro-turf.

4/1/2009 5:27:11 PM

Piss-poor trolling ITT

4/1/2009 5:35:06 PM

This is the same toolbag that swore he "pwnd" the entirety of TWW somehow by buying a Wii game 12 hours before the Wii came out.

If it's not painfully obvious by now, this Solinari guy doesn't exactly get how this internet thing works.

a suspension is kind of strong...maybe just a slap on the wrist and call him a faggot

that sounds like a decent compromise

why do you keep referring to ChaCha as djeternal's service?

how should I refer to it? how about, "the service that djeternal is shilling for"

^^i mean, it's just entirely inappropriate considering he's just a contractor for them.

4/1/2009 8:31:35 PM

in that case, "the service that djeternal shills for" seems about right. I'm sorry for valuing brevity over precision. I will send you personal messages whenever I think your reading comprehension may not be capable of handling such simplifications

4/1/2009 8:39:25 PM

look when all you do is troll you can't expect anyone to give a shit about your complaints

4/1/2009 8:49:55 PM

see, here's the deal; just because you disagree with me doesn't mean i'm trolling

4/1/2009 8:53:01 PM

Solinari, just as irrelevant as he ever was.

4/1/2009 9:28:25 PM

Apparently I'm relevant enough for you to reply to my thread!

BTW, this thread can be locked now. The point has been made. djeternal is a shill.

4/1/2009 9:43:40 PM

Your relevant enough is my not registering any sort of relevance.

You've been here nearly as long as anyone and I can't ever remember you adding a single shred of any value to this site. The only tech talk additions you ever made were to cry about overclockers.

So if you're supposedly not trolling, then why do you take so much pleasure in receiving attention even if it's negative?

Rhetorical question, btw.

4/1/2009 9:53:48 PM

I don't take pleasure in negative attention, but I don't shy away from it either. Example: this thread.

I will call someone out if they deserve it, whether they are "teh popularity" or not.


In any event, this thread is over. I won't be posting in here anymore so take ur questions/challenges to chit-chat.

[Edited on April 1, 2009 at 9:59 PM. Reason : s]

4/1/2009 9:57:37 PM

bullshit. you're claiming a "win" because someone cared enough to post, even though it was negatively. You claimed a "win" because I happened to remember you making a jackass out of yourself years ago. The definition of trolling is posting something just to get a reaction. And that's all you're doing plain and simple.

With that, I've sadly given you far too much attention for the day.

4/1/2009 9:59:59 PM

Leave djeternal ALONE!

He's the guy who, back in 2001, created one of the first TWW aliases, and pretended to kill himself on TWW, causing a large number of users to try to figure out where he was in order to try to "save him."

I can't remember the name of said alias though. We should get qntmfred to unarchive that thread.
