Does anyone else realize that GotApex is just a page filled with self-referals? For a site that condemns self-referals, they sure have enough of them. GotApex gets commissions if you buy from the links they provide? Sure sounds like it to me. I say "Down with Apex!" There is a better site anyway, even though I believe they are controlled by the same group. Try DealHunting.com . They are a scam, too, but a better site.
Holy hot damn, you are going to get the flames. And the kids like the flames. Enjoy your funeral...
hehe... how do you think these people can afford to take all the time to keep a site like this running? it's sure not because of your charity contributions! All sites like this have affiliates. If they didn't, it wouldn't be worth their time or trouble to keep the site going.
yes, the folks the run apex and dealhunting.com do talk to each other a bit, but they aren't out to scam anyone.
anyways, it benifits you too... say for example, you buy something from a site that apex is an affiliate of, and they mess up your and others orders, he has a little extra pull with that business and can put some pressure on them to fix the problem a little sooner.
so, sit down, shut up, and get over it!
Apex never said you can't have self-referals...just that you have to place it under the spam forum. Yes he does make good money off his links here, he has no problems admiting that. If you don't like the things run here just go start your own deal website....there are tons out there.

Dude, open your own site if you have problems with this one. I don't think you are appriciating the amount of work that is done on this site. Apex, LP and Darth spend time every day for their efforts. And it's a thankless job at that. You expect them to not get compensated? And how is it a scam? Are you losing money because of it? Are they selling your email addy? They need this money. Server space isn't cheap, and neither is the kind of bandwidth they require.
You're being an idiot. You should start to think before you post.

This is Apex's site. If there are going to be referrals he should get it.
There is a forum where people can post self-referrals. Apparently you can't figure out where it is. Its called the MLM, Referrals, and Spam forum.
Looks like avenger73is upset that GAM removed your referral in this got|deals thread. http://www.gotapex.com/forums/showth...threadid=14720
And here is the thread you posted to pimpyour own site. http://www.gotapex.com/forums/showth...threadid=11816
Here's another one of your self-referral threads: http://www.gotapex.com/forums/showth...threadid=11873
How nice of you to refer to Got|apex? and Dealhunting as scams. And you certainly are delusional if you think they are controlled by the same group.

I am the administrator of DealHunting.com. While I appreciate the endorsement I would like to point out that I also pay the light bill from my site. Do you realize that I work every single day on the site sometimes upwards of 12 hours a day? If Deal sites didn't make money on some of the deals they post there would be no motivation for us to do it. I certainly wouldn't work as hard on my site if it weren't for the benefits of doing so.
I would appreciate it if you would be more kind in your posts and respect Apex and this site. DealHunting wouldn't be as large as it has become if it weren't for the generosity of Apex and the friends I've made here in the forums.
Thank you.

Oh, and no, the two sites are not run by the same folks.

umm... GET HIM!
hehe, all I can say is chill out.
I was very surprised by the maturity and responsible attitude of the replies to this individual. What's wrong with you people!!! Burn him! Burn him at the stake! The lying little puss filled bag of excrement doesn't deserve to be allowed onto the site generously provided by Apex and crew! The ungrateful little pathetic twit has no call to talk that way Apex has been totally up front about his business dealings, everyone (with one tenth of a brain or more) knows about the referrals supporting this page.
A horrible fiery death to you avenger73.
That said I would like to apologize to Apex and staff for my abusive conduct toward another user on his their forums, but not to avenger73 himself.
I say we hang him.

Looks like avenger73
And here is the thread you posted to pimp
Here's another one of your self-referral threads: http://www.gotapex.com/forums/showth...threadid=11873
I am continually amazed at how restrained you people are. Let it go! Feel the hatred flow! Come over the Dark Side...oh, sorry.
I think your first mistake was setting your home page to the same site you were pimping in the aforementioned threads. That's not very smart...
There seems to be only one clear way to resolve conflicts like these....

how the heck to you define scam?
And this may be a shock, but I put in many hours combing for news, writing reviews, and I don't get paid all that much...I do it cause I like it. Apex make money? God I hope so, because this is work, baby.
what's your next news flash - that banner ads pay money to the website? Say it isn't so!
next!

You know.. I could be really rude.. but I just don't have the energy.. I will say that I'm sure he's just pissed because he isn't making any money on his page..
Alright. I just ran over to the other posts that avenger has posted. He's a jerk. I say ban that ass. He complains about scams, but he runs them himself. What an idiot. Time to kick some ass.

Okay you got us. Its all a scam.
Here's a nice site that avenger73 can self-referral himself to
You're absolutely right, Avenger - it is a scam. You know another scam I just found out about?? Network TV!!! Do you know those scam artists get PAID when WE watch commercials!!!??? All this time I thought it was free, when in fact network execs are lining their pockets off of long hours *I* spend watching product endorsements.
Those ungrateful, sorry, (*&*#@#$.....

Come on people, I know you can do better. I've seen better flames than this from you. This jerk realy deserves it. It seems so half-hearted. It's a chance to express yourselves. Be creative.

Incidentally, have you taken a look at his sorry page? I rank it right up there with other GotApex classics like sbp's homepage (), http://www.dudechat.com , or http://www.eat-a-bag-of-dicks.com . *sigh* a true legend in its own time.
He's probably not going to come back. I say good riddance. It's thoughtless bullshit like that makes me want to condemn internet use for all people incapable of tieing their shoes.
