That is the oddest sounding promotional scheme I've ever heard. Did anyone actually check out the site?

It appears to be a pyramid scheme, but not of a form I've seen before. I've been searching around for those "extra charges" but so far have failed, but I have seen a pop-under requirement.

They also share your information with advertisers and anyone who'd care. It uses some browser plugin from www.igetnet.com, but I've no idea what it does.

There certainly is no such thing as a free lunch, but this guy vitto is trying to get us to sign up using him as a affilate, so he gets more cash!

Cheers Div it just confirmed not to do something that I was never going to do
Its not the worst spyware I've ever seen, but I didn't like the fact that it wrote things to the hosts file, which is quite sneaky. I wonder if any other ad companies are going to try that one to have their blocks removed.

Why would we attack the person? We are all mature *cough cough* adults here and I don't know of anyone using GIDForums who would do something like that. Just my $0.02!
