not worthy - Canadian Freebie Forum ~Canada's top free sample, coupons, & contests forum

HappyCappy · 04-24-2007

Just to clarify Canadianfreestuff.com has been around since 1999. it had a forum with the same layout back in 2001 to 2005. I brought it back.

1. People had CFS bookmarked for years,
2. CFS doesn't need to steal members, (look at the membership over 1000 people in less than 8 weeks. )
3. Same board different look from 2 years ago.
4. It had the same layout as before Announcements, introductions, freebies contests, etc

So No No ideas were stolen, lol. They are probably newbies on the freebie block, and thought they had the idea first.

I don't blame them for being upset, at someone posting their preceived competition on their forum, but I guess if the mods were doing their job, they would of just removed the whole post when it began, instead of commenting about it, as you say, I don't know which board your talking about, as I've been gone for almost a week.

Generally Blatant advertising isn't allowed on any forum. As I said I didn't see what your talking about, so I can't say how we would handle it. I think We probably would of simply removed the whole thread if we had a problem with it.
