BasicRO advertising?

DeePee · Jun 26, 2009, 05:26 PM

A member/members got the following PM on our forum:

Looks a lot like http://www.ratemyserver.net/forum/index.php/topic,10408.msg74715.html#msg74715 don't ya think?

It could be some player doing it, but by the looks of it...it's someone from the staff >.>

No one reads these days i swear.

READ THE RULES. Good god. D:

DeePee · Jun 26, 2009, 05:32 PM

Elaborate.

Newly · Jun 26, 2009, 05:35 PM

I meant that to the person that was advertising XD not you. Sorry.

DeePee · Jun 26, 2009, 05:36 PM

Hm, actually... it might need to be moved to Hall of Shame, but I guess I'll let a mod decide on that.

Hutchy · Jun 26, 2009, 06:49 PM

Funny stuff.

Ah. The same s*** again. Why can't it be pink in color next time?

No argument here. Moved to the Hall of Shame.

Time to wait for the admin of BasicRO so he can shine some light in this topic...

Couple members on EssenceRO also received this spam:

Pricks.

EDIT: Main site and forums also appear to be using a rather commonly stolen RO wallpaper from DeviantArt

There forums are dead. The only posts are made by admins, so it's obviously an admin doing it since they don't have a population yet.

*Looks at the username used in HiddenDragon's PM*
*Looks at the Team page: [GM] Altec - Sub GM*

Indeed.

Looking forward to server owner's explanation, especially since the server looked interesting to me, but now...

Altec · Jun 29, 2009, 04:54 AM

Hey Guys, iam really really sorry about this but i can swear that this kind of advertising no one from the gm team was.
I already heard it from other servers too. I think we have a player who thinks he must help us to advertise it but I dunno it exactly.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

PS The Design of the Homepage is not from Deviant Art or sth else we made it by ourselves.
