A New Modelling Forum

[Ian Sargent]

Folks,

I have just launched a new modelling forum and you are invited to
take a closer look.

Unlike other forums this one is going to be different! One of the
things we will be doing is to run three monthly competitions:

Model of the month
Photo of the month
Tip of the month

Ii is hoped that through these competitions you will have the chance
to win over £500 (approx $900) worth of prizes every month.

To find out more just visit our site ate

http://www.forums-4-u.com

I look forward to seeing you in our forums.

Regards
Ian

And you seriously expect people to leave a free newsgroup to join a
pay-to-view forum? Now we know how you can pay out £500 in prizes every
month! I wish you luck, your going to need it!! Coz here's one user that
WON'T be joining your forum....

This according to the web blurb this is based on 1,000 people joining, well
999 now Eddy has declined <g>

This does seem rather a high number given that many free Yahoo groups run
around the 250 to 750 figure.
If they were pay for groups this would drop to probably to single figures.

There are a lot of things that you have to agree to in the T&C's, but nothing at
all about what the organisers/web masters agree to do in return.

It was on the Bibliography channel, but you can search the net on Barnum and
"sucker". He was a showman, not a con-artist.

Did it cross anyones mind that he might be legitimately trying to start a
decent modeling resource? If your going to have your reservations about
paying then think them but dont blatantly call the guy a con-artist when you
have absolutely nothing to base the accusation on. Jeez...
