Don't you just hate it when you get an e-mail saying that you have to send this to 20 people or you will get bad luck for the rest of your life blah blah.:mad: They are so annoying and are such a waste of time anyway! Does anyone actually believe in these pieces of crap and send the e-mails as instructed? Because if you do, you are very very sad! :wtf: I can't believe that people actually take part in these stupid letters and waste there time with it.

Yeah, someone on this board sends me them. Not mentioning any names.

*cough*Sprinkles*cough*

The last one he forwarded me said that if I spam everyone in my address book with the e-mail, get this, Microsoft would pay me $15!

Also, Intel and AOL are merging (?) to form an internet company (??) and to make sure that AOL remains the best internet browser (???) and keeps AOL as the best ISP (????). And they would also pay me for sending this e-mail on to all my friends for some dumb-ass reason I couldn't be bothered to read.

Please. Give me a bit of credit.

I have warned him, one more incident like this, and he goes on my blocked senders list.

I used to get a lot and I blamed my net g/f's friends for them, but then I filtered my e-mail so I wouldn't get any crap e-mails like that again :upto:

I agree with you there LD. I've been getting tonnes of mails from gamers gateway, so I checked my options and they all said recieve no e-mails etc, but for some reason I still get the bluddy things! Can you tell me why plz Pheonix?

Right then.

When you post, uncheck the box which says "E-mail notification". That might help.

I think there was a problem with the board,I got a load of emails from threads it said I subscribed to which I didn't.In the email there is a link to 'unsubscribe' yourself from all threads,click that and you will not receive anymore.

The worst email chain letters are the ones that say "There's a new virus, blah, blah, blah. Email everyone you know to let them know, blah, blah, blah." And the idiots then do just that - they don't see that the whole thing is just an e-chain (or whatever they are called). Those are the ones I keep receiving. :mad:
