Whoever you are that thinks you have gotten away with a good joke by sending porn subscription verifications to my tgeweb e-mail account had better stop laughing.
In the body of the subscription letter, it read, "If you are not the one that has subscribed to this site...here is the IP address of the person that did so." Then it shows me who you are.
If I turn this IP address into Ziroc, he would find out for me who you are, ban you from this site, even from accesing it, and maybe I would take it further than that. Yet, I do not want to know right now who you are, as I do not want to actually hate anybody on this forum.

This is a warning.

Whoever finds this crap funny will not be laughing long. It will end now, and do not do it to anyone else, either. If you do, then they can contact me and I am going to Ziroc and maybe your local authorities with it.

I was contacted today by somebody who has been getting the same crap in his/her e-mail.

I am again warning you. You will stop today.

Did you not realize that your IP address is recorded and sent with the subscription content? The reason for that is because fools like you do this to others, and complaints have poured in to these website's webmasters. To ensure that idiots like you do not get away with it, the webmaster records your IP address on the verification e-mail so that you can be found out and exposed.

You had better rethink your games.

Yeah, there's a lot of going around. All it seems to take it buying a single item on the web; then the company's list is sold to five other companies, and they pass it along; soon, you're getting junk email and even that disgusting porn stuff all the time. It's worst of all up on AOL. I've had new screennames deluged with this sludge within a week.

Well, as have stated before...the only mail I get into my TGEWEB account is mail from the users of Ironworks. Never have I received anything else except e-mails from our own web-family, here. I would not make such a fuss if it was in my home account. But it is not.
That 's what makes it strange and to be questioned.

And as I mentioned before...I have the IP address of the accused party...

Makic, there are two kinds of porn mail.

Bot mail, and subscribed. The 20 or so a day you receive in a public accound (i.e hotmail) are sent by bots (therefore botmail), which just means they send them out to millions of combinations of email addy.

Larry has been sent SUBSCRIBED mail, which means that a certain being has entered his email addy into a VB box, which has then added his name to a list, which is how he recieves the porn.

You cant really stop botmail unless it says "unsubscribe" anywhere on it....which they often dont.

Good luck larry!!!
