The more people who buys, the lower the price goes

Good thing that was listed under the electronics "deals" section. Oh well. I think it's certainly a nice looking site. And the got milk? ads certainly weren't co-opted by apex alone...

Same deals here only theres is a little better because there are no a*sholes posting referrals or demanding things.

You see, that's one of the things that is now gone from the forums. We've got more people that seem like just plain pricks. Maggie's been here for a long time and has been very tolerant with a lot of crap that's been going on. She has been very helpful to a lot of the newbie's around here including myself. I personally think that she deserves to be treated with more courtesy. Now we have some newbie named paladin calling other people a**holes. Now that's pretty classic, can you say BIPOLAR.

Are you calling Apex an *******? Cause thems fightin' words with me. *rolling up my sleeves*

Edit:
(I see now he's referring to the members of gotapex and not apex himself. I thought he was referring to the fact that Apex gets paid when people purchase his deals.)

Oh no Maggie's mad. http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/eek.gif

heh heh got-ripoff?

Not a bad looking site. The background is too bright and the blue needs to be a bit darker though.

I don't believe Apex will be miffed about this. After all competition is good. It'll be interesting to see what he thinks.

I still wanna know what Paladin was implying about Apex. I've seen quite a few posts from this guy today and he is NOT on my top 10 list of favorite people on this planet.

I think the site has a nice look to it. It does have some potential but doesn't too have much filling =P

Paladin does have points to make. He could so in a less inflamatory manner certainly. Whether he was referring to Apex I don't know.

hey mags, i don't think apex has been posting referrals or demanding things. i think paladin's referring to the massive influx of folks that post non-deals in the deals section, asking for help, requesting traffic on their site, trying to get referrals and justifying their posts cuz they want to get traffic. all these folks that think that they're the victim and the world needs to help them out.
it's also a bit tiring to read a lot of posts by folks who don't bother reading 2 threads down regarding the exact thing they're asking for. i think there needs to be a whole bunch more lock downs on threads and that mail in membership +$1 thing i came up with.

I seriously wonder how you come up with some of these. This is really not meant to be an insult or a flame, Maggie, but really, how do you get from paladin's post to some implied insult against Apex? You certainly know where I stand with respect to some of the garbage coming through here nowadays, and frankly, I think you're becoming the minority. The last couple of days are a perfect example.
I have always said, and I think I echo Paladin's somewhat poorly phrased sentiment, that folks that just roll through here asking for something before doing any work of their own volition is just LAZY. Like asking for a freakin' camper. I mean, c'mon.
Please de-wad your undies, Maggie, and read the posts from those that you don't agree with with a little more level-headedness. The act is getting tired.

Penny is right and wrong- Maggie: Paladin wasn't calling Apex an *******- he was calling the people in the forums who demand stuff and post refferals *******s. But i disagree with what he had to SAY...as this site got bigger, in came the "*******s". IF that site got bigger, the *******s would flock there....

Thank you AJ and Chunky. I need all the support in this planet when I am not one of maggie's top 10 people.

Why would I call Apex an @sshole?

I love Apex.

And maggie you seem edgy, please go get laid or something.


P.S. Maggie who are those top 10 people?

I believe having a flame forum is a bad idea. Its a sure fire way to attract trolls and snarfs and their not going to be contributing deals for sure.

By the way off-topic.net's hotties forum is very nice.

You know, Penny, this is the last time I'm going to apologize about the camper thing. I still think the post was in the right forum and that all the bit***** was out of line. I had done some research on my own (eg, looking through online ads in area newspapers) but I thought someone might know of some websites that deal with those things specifically. I'm getting tired of saying it, but I'M SORRY FOR MAKING THAT POST!!!!!!


Maggie's right (as usual); the tone of this bulliten board is quite unkind as of late. And frankly, Penny, I don't think encouraging people who tell her to "get laid" is a very nice thing to do.

I give up, Leon. I'm just going to look for deals online and post them in the Got Deals section. No more replies and no more posts in other forums. People are just unkind. I can't believe you let those people talk to Maggie like that.

Sorry, AJ. Sorry, Penny. Just ignore me. Leon, close this thread before it too degenerates into something awful. I don't want to feed the fire.
