Hi folks! Just started doing a couple scambaits, and figured I'd join the forum. This is definitely one of my favorite sites, and I'm sure this will become one of my favorite sports. I'm also certain I'll have some questions at some point, but for now, just saying howdy! Smile

Hey! Welcome, read stickies, wear a tinfoil hat, bait safe, all that good jazz I am sure you have read before if you have been reading the site. This is great fun and do enjoy my new hobby. You might want to sign up for a mentor, they can be of great help.

Don't "Panic Room"... Scambaiting can be a "Harry Potter" situation... Wink

Anyhow, thanks for the greeting... If my baits go well, I hope Gene Shalit will become a name the lads learn to dread... Hehe.

Tinfoil hats actually increase the mind-rays they are supposed to keep out! It is a conspiracy! Don't you watch Mythbusters?

Now that I've said it they'll probably take away my internet acces...

That's why I stick to lead. I recently had my whole apartment redone with lead paint, and my plumbing replaced with lead pipes. I think this will... um... Damn, now I can't remember math...

Welcome geneshalit. I guess everyone has probably already told you about baiting safe and getting a mentor. I just want to say have fun, baiting is all about having fun, and sharing your fun with fellow baiters on the forum. I look forward to chatting with you on here.

Everyone except "Today" show viewers already do.

@B. A. Ware

I suppose that's an advantage Nigeria has over us, that they don't get the Today Show... Almost makes you want to go there. lol

Welcome.

Check out my "tinfoil hat" link below under "bait safe"

Better safe than sorry I say. Tin foil is cheap. Paranoia... priceless. They can read your IP through your brainwaves, just ask Don.

Have fun.

Welcome gene!

Read all the rules that the big wheels have made and read them some more and then look over them every other day. Sometimes I don't even get to read the forum because I still have some more of that to read and every once in awhile a big wheel will repeat it to us again. They are only doing their job and this will always be. Smile

The IP's are a big issue because.............................................Oh, something to do with.................................let me read and get back to you. Laughing

You may not want to bait with your Eater name. Google might teach your lads to avoid your name rather than dread it.

Welcome!

Here it is, just the gist:

They would find out where you are and they might want to see you. It might get ugly. Shocked

Luckey is right about the name thing. I have a real scary name and that also helps. Wink

You have to look over me some days because sometimes NN gives me the wrong pills and I think NN does it on purpose. Confused

Don't say that I said that. Wink

Mod edit to remove unnecessary re-quote of previous post

I'm not worried about the name thing, I don't use it as may baiter name per se... I will post what it's all about once the game is over.

As to the IP thing, I'm not really worried. I work for an ISP, and I know that your IP only reveals your possible general whereabouts - really, they can only find out what city you live in. And if you're not stupid and don't give out your real name or a picture of yourself, I don't see any real problem.

There is one thing to watch out for though, and I don't know if it's been brought up before. Be careful when sending documents created on your computer. If you have your real name stored in your applications (such as MS Office), all documents will show your name in the properties. Be sure to change the info in your program or manually change the document properties before sending to any ne'er-do-wells.

gene, I'll give you a tip!

Some don't like it when you quote the post above you. Cause I think it uses up one of the big wheels money and you know how money is these days. Well, it also has to do with spaces.

Now, I hope I said that right and kindly. Wink
