Member Contact Info

Since the PM feature has been turned off, I thought it would be a good idea to create a thread where members can post their contact info so that members don't lose touch with each other.

I created a new email to replace PBH PM:

colombiche2006 at yahoo.com


Everybody else feel free to post your info too!

Thanx

One problem... One problem with posting your e-mail "in the clear" is that it allows web-crawlers (automated programs that go around opening and reading web pages) to find your address and send it to spammers. In a week, you'll start getting more penis enlargement ads then you ever thought possible (even if you don't have one to enlarge). While the sentiment is noble, it's probably better to post your e-mail address in a form that doesn't look like an e-mail address: For example:

MyName at MyDomain dot com

as opposed to

MyName at MyDomain.com

Also don't include it in an "A" tag. Another option might be to save it as an image and post the image file. Just a friendly warning....

Colombiche says on Mar 1, 2006, 12:30:

Yeah C4C But I created this email solely for the purpose of interacting with the PBH members I have kept in touch with (some of them no longer posting), it isn't my real personal email address (No way Jose I would post that one on here).

Yeah, I got those penis enlargement ads before, I thought it was hilarious.


Thanks for the warning though :), it is important for those who are thinking of posting their real email addresses.

Zowie... ...and I thought I was geeky.

Mario says on Mar 1, 2006, 18:14:

Yeah but... People like Ratbag and all of his other handles will have a field day with that. Posting pictures was enough fodder for him, but email addresses??? I'd have to decline on that one wholeheartedly.

Joe_Wheels says on Mar 1, 2006, 18:36:

You seem to be Ratbag's one and only nemesis. I don't think anybody else will have a problem.

Mario says on Mar 1, 2006, 19:15:

Well guess what Joe Wheels On his forum, he attacked me, Utopiacowboy, Gomezman5, and about 6 other regular old timer PBH'ers, which if you were around here for much more than 3 weeks, you'd be aware of. Posting email addresses here would be just plain stupid because there are many more like him on the World Wide Web, but stupid is as stupid does. Go for it. What you think about anybody else's possibilities in being targeted, and what reality is - are two different things.

Beyond that, if any PBH member chooses to put their email address online, that's their prerogative to do so, but remember you have painted a virtual bullseye on your forehead having done so.

You can use a yahoo or hotmail email address. There would'nt be any harm in that. Its not like they can find out where you live and come after you. Remember the saying "sticks and stones may break my bones but names can never hurt me"?

Ratbag/Kingrat does'nt seem like such a bad guy from what I have read from his postings. He gives good advice. I don't know how the fued started between you two started. He sent me a couple of PMs and seems friendly. He said that other website is'nt his. It belongs to some guy named Ramrod I believe. Him and Ratbag are two different cats.

Colombiche says on Mar 2, 2006, 05:02:

Mario Posting email addresses here would be just plain stupid because there are many more like him on the World Wide Web, but stupid is as stupid does.

I fully respect your decision to not post your email address, but I don't think it is appropriate for you to suggest that I'm stupid for taking the initiative to do this.

I'm not asking anybody to post their Social security or their bank account number (okay fine, if you want to share your banking info send me a pm.. he he).

Myself, I have never revealed my true name, phone number, established email address and I am very adamant about not posting pictures of myself or my loved ones on the net. I work in the Information Technology field, I know about privacy and security issues (I make a living thinking about these things).

I created this colombiche email address for the sole purpose of re-establishing contact with a few people that are no longer active posters at PBH, as well as any new people that might want to get in touch with me.

I'm not too worried about the hate mail, I have never been targeted by it. If I see a lot of spam or "hate" mail pouring into my new email addy I will just stop using it, no skin off my back, BIG DEAL, BIG WHOOP.

I suggested the members who want to do this create new email addies just for PBH purposes, unless they don't mind getting penis enlargement adds at their established address (who knows.. this might be the beginning of a new aesthetic revolution).

Saludos,

C.

Colombiche says on Mar 2, 2006, 07:33:

Yes It is tedious, but it is a viable alternative... it worked for me, I just established contact with some people.

It's up to the posters whether they want to do this or not.

Exactly And reap what you sew and all that good stuff.

Colombiche says on Mar 2, 2006, 08:23:

? Reap what you sow?

I don't know how that saying would apply in the context of this thread.

Anyway, I reiterate my contact info

colombiche2006 at yahoo.com

Ciao

Gomezman5 says on Mar 2, 2006, 09:44:

Colombiche Good Morning. Don't forget about those Viagra ads.I imagine if people buy enough of that stuff, they will not have to worry about the penis enlarlargement ads.

According to Monpirri, myself, and 2 other people caused the whole problem. This guy is actually goofy enough to believe that Peter would shut the entire email system down because of three people that he (monpirri) believes are at the heart of the problem. Peter said he had software problems, but Monpirri does not believe him.

As to the spam.....you will not get any for a while. I have had my account for a while (over a year) and I still rarely get any spam on my account with hotmail. If you just use it for exchanges between PBH members, and don't enter it in on any web sites, you should not get that much spam

Colombiche says on Mar 6, 2006, 07:08:

so far... the love mail outweighs the hate mail ;)

I did get about 5 emails from the Nigerian dude who wants me to help him get a million bucks (AKA Nigerian scam) out of his account, I told membe-melembe-bumba I am already making almost a 15th of that, so no thanks.
