No need for A4F-bashing. Unfortunately, we've seen our fair share of scammers come through our doors. It's the nature of the beast.

I don't trust most of the low TR traders there for some reason, I'm sticking to like the 2o-30+ traders there for now =P

I used to think TR was the "be all end all" in regards to a person's honesty and ability to complete their end of their trade but the truth is its not. You never know when someone will decide to scam as many people as possible and run away. CC40 (i got my $ back from him) and wood both had high TR when they first decided to scam...
lol now im beginning to remember why i left the refferal game all those months ago...... wheather its here or A4Scam, Good judgement is the only defense against scammers wink

i never really liked trading.....that's why i resorted to blackmailing!! it works much better, and you can keep closer tabs on the referrals to know that they're done right ;)

You mean you walk them through it? wink
yeah all i know is that my experiment with a conga over there is yielding nothing.
of course I made the mistake of trading for 3 refs for the site I am congaing -> now I likely will have 3 refs that just sit there.
as for trading, i stick to here.
remember we have our scammers here as well (jdmturbocivic)

that's why you use good judgement. don't just look at someone's number and assume they're going to be safe (or vice versa). there's a feedback section on either site for a reason.
I'm a +11 trader at a4f but that doesn't mean I'm a scammer. if you check my feedback then you'll probably see that I'm a good trader.
For me I have luckily not gotten scammed even once on that site. Perhaps because I get lucky or perhaps because I use good judgement.
Also, any site has it's scammers, not just a4f.

2/8 trades on A4F went red? that means out of the 8, 6 were green. And you also said that 6 trades on FIPG went green. So that's even. What a joke..
But FIPG is really better than A4F, except for the fact that it uses PHPBB and has a crappy site design/theme. Why don't you get a new one? Look at http//www.congablast.com/phpbb for example. They have a neat and clean layout. Just making a suggestion.
A4F's design is much better, but it sucks because it's cluttered with ALOT of ads which reduce the forum loading time. That's why I'm sticking with FIPG.

In my post I'm referring to CongaBlast as an example of a PHPBB forum with a great design, because I think FIPG needs one too. The current one is boring and plain, IMO. Ask anyone. I really think that FIPG needs a new theme. Who agrees with me?

I think what he means is that he did six trades on FiPG and they all went green.
He only did two on A4F and they both went red.
Not that he traded for 16 altogether, 8 on each site.
Maybe I'm wrong though. shrug

I've said it a thousand times before and I'll say it again code a new layout, post or PM it to me and I will implement it as an optional theme.
I think that web applications should be intuitive and easy to use. The theme in use here is high contrast and simple. It's not fancy, it's not "web 2.0", but if you're here to post and/or trade, you're going to manage just fine.

a4f does not look good nor is it easy to read or find information with 100 forums and 100 subforums for each.

I don't see what the big deal is with the rivalry between FiPG and A4F personally. I respect all the moderators and members sticking up for A4F though. 8) I also don't understand why some of you think that A4F is hard to navigate? There is a search feature and as soon as you login it shows all the forums and subforums neatly categorized. I'd like to have some constructive criticism. P I have a suggestion for FiPG though. I'm not here much so there might already be one but what a View New Posts button? I like to see recent posts on A4F and new offers and etc and I think that would be useful for all users here.

On the top right of the forum index page is a link that says "View Posts Since Last Visit."
It's the ONLY way I navigate all the phpBB boards I frequent.

Really? I never, ever use that feature. shrug
It probably has not much to do with the mods, or maybe it is. But from I've seen, many people there seem to be so blinded or, robot-like when it comes to the site owners. Any sign, or suggestion, that a person might be trying to warn people about a site owner, or a problem, right away people respond with, "Well they wouldn't do that!" "They're the best!" "Omg, best site owner" and then the thread gets locked. They seem to be scared of really stating what they feel like, probably because they've seen what happens/has happened to people who have done so in the past.
I'm sure network that is owned by a high school kid has it's great share of problems. Granted the big networks also have them, it seems like we should be hearing more of the smaller networks and it's problems so that people are aware.
