Or we could all neg rep treecarebids.
So does each time we click on treecarebids.com cost them money? (I got a case of beer, a laptop, and all weekend with nothing to do.)

crikey, you guys are making a whole lot of drama over this arent you!!
wether or not it contravenes the rules is one issue on its own.....but you seem to overlook the fact that this useful resource is supplied for all of you to use free of charge, and you're whinging about the owner sending out 1 email promoting a new venture??
get some perspective guys!
first of all, this site is not free. We pay for it by all of the advertising all over this forum.
how do you figure?? by buying stuff you would have bought anyway?
The potential sponsors who consider paying to advertise here, do so based on how active this site is. The posts we make here show potential sponsors that their money to advertise here would be money well-spent.
The same applies to current sponsors: The amount of activity here affects their decision whether or not to continue to pay to be sponsors.
Businesswise I'm not affected by the treecarebids spam generated by AS, it's more a matter of having my private information used, which I don't like. I can live with it as long as it doesn't get out of hand.
If treecarebids is taking business away from AS members, that's a much more serious issue. As I pointed out in a previous post, the phone & fax number (should also mention the address) for Darin's businesses have been posted.
I think you missed it, Steve. Treecarebids = Arboristsite. Same owner. I don't know if he pays himself for clicks, but I don't think it makes a lot of difference!
first of all, this site is not free. We pay for it by all of the advertising all over this forum. It is full of ads. You can't sell ads without the audience (us).
Secondly, I did neg rep treecarbids and left a visitor message stating never to send me spam again. The neg rep has now turned possitive and the visitor message vanished. Its 1984 around here now.
I think he must know how we feel at this point. No apology for the breach of privacy. Maybe this is just how it will be now.
