    A few clues:

    1) Adam didn't just learn how to make money from websites "a few months ago", and for him to send a statement like that to his Exclusive members would be utterly stupid and insulting to them... and I didn't think Adam is stupid.

    2) The originator sent TWO copies of this spam, about 6 hours apart. Again, I think Adam is smart enough to send email without duplicating it.

    3) DNF/Adam took quite a beating the last time he spammed members a few years ago. It was for a new domain auction platform that was boycotted by myself and many others, and eventually completely failed. It would be dumb to repeat a failure.
    The email header clearly shows sales@dnforum.com as the sender. I really doubt if the DNF database is compromised. Who would go through all that trouble for a $17 sale?
    I think he would have let us know by now if this was a "database break in" and not to pay attention to it.
    The email is from Adam. I think he might have seen some value in this (to whom, himself or us I don't know ) He does ask that we use his links when buying products he recommends,
    as well as using the software that changes words we type in posts like GoDaddy into an affiliate link with his code.

    He's in this business to make money.
    It's his forum, he can do what he wants.

    He can do what he wants... Kind of. The members of a user created content website such as DNF should be fully respected, as without them the place is worth nothing. I've tried to highlight this in an exclusive thread, but Adam seems to have missed / ignored it.

    Well, call me stupid, too, but I thought the deal looked interesting and reasonably priced, as I've been trying to read up on the kind of stuff it was talking about. I tried to pay, though, but the system wouldn't let me because I couldn't fill in State (being in Ireland) and it wouldn't allow me to enter 'N/A' or just leave the box blank. So maybe I've been lucky. I prefer to pay PayPal for this kind of thing anyway.

    Love all the whining...it's a freaking email...give it a quick once over and if your not interested delete it.

    One thing I will never understand is people that don't appreciate valuable, free content...how are the two connected you ask? This site is full of valuable, free content...it's there for the taking, no questions asked. If the owner of this site wanted to send me an email every day soliciting business I would not mind at all...let alone one every month or so...seriously, some of you have way too much underutilized time on your hands.

    So DNF Exclusive accounts are FREE now? When did that happen?

    And if you really enjoy spam as much as you say, I can hook you up with places that will send you thousands of messages a day.

    So you got a free account? Good for you...I had to pay for mine! Even if it was free, that doesn't give someone the right to bombard you with their spam. It's a question of manners and common decency, if nothing else. You have to pay to contribute, and in return you get spammed. Not good. Take note, Admin.

    I didn't hear any whining... I heard a discussion from members questioning the validity of the message and the sender's motive.
    And, I don't know how discussing that means that people have too much "underutilized" time on their hands.

    Great more whining, congrats on outing yourselves as the whiners in chief

    FWIW my acct wasn't free, but a lot of great content on this forum is as long as your not a lazy entitled whiner expecting to be put on.

    I really don't mind a sales email from admin as long as it's not on a regular basis, dime in a dozen kind of product (although this looks like one). Sales email from DNF are rare anyway.

    Ditto. Any forum website will have operating costs that need to be offset by advertising and fees. If those costs are MORE than offset, well that's just the profit motive that explains why most of us domainers are lurking in the forum ourselves. And we'd all tweak our own websites to get more revenue, wouldn't we? Since advertising has to be in some form, I personally would prefer it to be in an email that I can quickly bypass rather than in a permanent ad spot on the website that I would have to glare at in perpetuity.

    That's my personal reaction, which isn't meant to dismiss the views of others. Annoyed customers are annoyed customers, one way or another.

    I dont have an exclusive account, but I agree. Spam is Spam.

    The Admin Emails checkbox in settings should be for forum related communications about the forum.
    Any other solicitations should be a seperate checkbox, and opt-in only.

    And sorry, dont label this as a 'whine' unless you are just trying to put labels on opinions.
    But that wont make it true to me. Just to the whiner whiners.

    Above is my original post, I stick by it. Never said spam is good ot that anyone wants it...simply said receiving an ocassional email from a site that offers so much free content on it's pages should not be a big deal...if it is, your acting like a whiner. Nuff said, back to your whining

    When you pay for a service you have every right to comment about the service you receive.

    It's almost laughable to see somebody trying to associate that with "Whining" Should the motto here be; "Give us your money and Give us your silence"?

    Ahaha, thats a classic. It is a bit annoying to get these "sales" email, just disabled messages from Administrator check box. Just do the same if you want to opt out. Done.

    Poker just likes to stir the pot. Call someone a whiner, get some attention.

    It would be nice to hear from Adam whether this is something which he authorised and endorsed....
