Um, I got an email today........he said he was the owner of http://www.dosgames.com , and said his name was Maximo or something........is this really you? I doubt it... no offence, but your not this nice......nor is anybody else I know/have known. Besides, common sense should tell me that you would've PM'ed me or something....I think it's just somebody who wants to own the domain http://www.dosgames.tk . Besides, you're to concerned w/bandwidth to do this... Let me post the email here:

**I posted this just in case anybody else got a somewhat similar email, and I want to make sure it's not emmzee before I reply a somewhat insulting and hurtful email back

Oh yeah, I just realized, emmzee also knows that I am a guy, definitely not a 'sir' or 'madam'

sounds like a scam to get your domain and banner space.

K0 beat me to this one. Emmzee's real name isn't Maximo anyhow, it's a scam to get your .tk address, don't buy into it.

What kind of freaks would name their son Maximo........and I am/was 95% sure it's not him. I thought Maximo could be a different alias that emmzee used when he first got his email'r somethin'...

well he knoes u from here so why would he introduce himself?

He could always find another free domain, like .be

Dear Sir or Madam
Hello my name is Maximo i am the manger at www.dosgames.com im im very impressed with your webpage www.dosgames.tk...

My first tip off was the poor grammar...

John The Ax · Post by **John The Ax** » Thu Nov 14, 2002 2:48 pm

Write exactly what wardrich said. Also, mz wouldn't have written "sir or madam" He knows you're male.

Kazer0 · Post by **Kazer0** » Thu Nov 14, 2002 4:19 pm

im im

thats sad man, i mean sad....

You should pretend that you are going to sue him for saying hes the webmaster of dosgames.com

*rubs hands devilishly*

Good idea!

Winger2 · Post by **Winger2** » Thu Nov 14, 2002 8:30 pm

peeps, ever think the person could BE from this board and be reading this?

Post by **wardrich** » Thu Nov 14, 2002 9:58 pm

perhaps, but why would somebody be that stupid to do say that he is the owner of dosgames.com if he knew that we knew that he wasnt??

What address did the e-mail come from may I ask?

webmaster from hell · Post by **webmaster from hell** » Fri Nov 15, 2002 4:39 pm

Im of the opinion that it was somebodys idea of a (crappy) practical joke. Yeah, I know what ure thinking, NO i did NOT send him that email!

Da_Goat · Post by **Da_Goat** » Fri Nov 15, 2002 5:30 pm

Well, WFH, I never suspected such a thing........'til now...........j/k

And, Dogbreath, the email I got it from was [email protected] Yeah, go yell at him!

John The Ax · Post by **John The Ax** » Fri Nov 15, 2002 7:06 pm

May I yell at him for being a tricky fraud? May I please? I seriously will!

Da_Goat · Post by **Da_Goat** » Fri Nov 15, 2002 8:55 pm

Well, I would say 'yes', but first I want to make sure emmzee didn't send it to me (I know he didn't, but emmzee has yet to respond). I just don't want to do something irrational on accident...

Post by **Dogbreath** » Sat Nov 16, 2002 4:28 pm

Well, it most likely isn't emmzee then. He uses the e-mail address [email protected] when writing to someone about issues concerning the website. One suspicion I did have is that it is his sponcer was attempting to do business with your site but why would t/s/he/y use a hotmail address? And further more why the bad grammer? (doesn't make a very good first impression, something business people strive to do) And if s/he's not a business person then why e-mail you that in the first place?

Hold the yelling, this is more of a mystery then a spam case. I'll query the guy to see what the point of the e-mail was.

John The Ax · Post by **John The Ax** » Sat Nov 16, 2002 5:08 pm

Don't tell him what that we know it wasn't the real webmaster. It could get kind of fun.

Winger2 · Post by **Winger2** » Sat Nov 16, 2002 5:39 pm

hey, we were talking about this in school. How porn websites take names that people would go to like by accident! Like they had segasage.com, when a popular cheat website was segasages.com (I'm the dumbass who does segasage first on accident

) so think it could be a "bad" site?
