Autosurf Dummy

It seems that the saga involving Jake has just died down and good ole Bob has already come up with new storylines. The intrigue continues and the latest from Bob after his banning of members' discussion and promotion of his programs in forums, is that he is moving towards privatisation. He has also aligned himself with Todd Heaps, admin of SurfSiteMonitor.

Why choose SSM out of all the other forums? Is SSM more unbiased than ASA or was this meant as a further snub at ASA bearing in mind that Todd was a former admin of ASA? Has Tri-Star grown so big that it no longer needs to depend on promotions in forums to drum up support? What about existing moderators who have worked so hard for him? Members get warned for posting their referral links but isn't getting referrals the name of the game here?

These are very puzzling questions and it still remains to be seen what impact these recent measures will bore on Tri-Star and the members. Below is the update from Bob:

Today, as mentioned earlier, we will take our organization private.
I would also like to take this time to announce an addition to the Tri-Star family. There has been a lot of misinformation floating around out there, so I have decided to take action to avoid this in the future.
Effective immediately, Todd Heaps will be the Tri-Star Media Public Relations Officer. All information will flow through him and his SurfSiteMonitor portal. Information through any other source is not sanctioned by Tri-Star Media. I trust Todd and the staff at SSM implicitly. They have proven their worth in both actions and words, and I consider Todd to be a true friend.
This change means that the following rules will apply for membership in 15HitsDaily, TreoSurf, and 24SurfPro:
1-No monitors may have Tri-Star programs listed on their monitor sites.
2-Members may not advertise referral links in any way, including in their forum signatures or in the blogs.
3-The only way to join will be through a referral link from someone who is already a member.
4-Forums will still be allowed to discuss the programs, but no links may be advertised. If you want a link to join, you can PM the person you would like to join under or PM one of the staff at SSM.
5-Violation of any of these rules will result in one warning. The second violation will result in the suspension of your account.

As we move forward to a succesful 2007, I would like to thank each and every member for their loyalty and support.
Kind Regards,
Bob
Admin
