    WTH??? Paid shill? WTF does that mean?

    What's up with this?
    :dunno: I just call 'em how I see 'em.

    I think a shill is someone who sits in the crowd, like at the old freak shows, acting as if they are just another patron, independent of the organization, then jumps at the chance to buy the first ticket and encourages others to do the same.
    Or talks about how good the product some salesman is trying to sell.

    Kinda like a critic who has been paid to give a good review.



    If so, then where's my money. :pimp:

    Where do people get smart enough to hack a website?
    I can plumb a apartment complex,
    I can restore a muslecar.
    But I cant hack a site.

    That "banned" thing is actually flashing, but obviously you can't show that in a screenshot.

    I'm halfway upset that somebody is having fun at our expense. But I take heart that it could've been a lot worse. If they can do this much to us, what else have they discovered they can do? They could've made it waaay over the top and offensive. At least the stuff they're doing is kinda funny. To me, at least.





    No, I'm not involved in it :p

    I know what a shill is. I'm pretty green here so I didn't really notice and thought little of it. I figured this was the affectionate tag for a "newbie" to the site.

    But now that I think of it, I suppose I should run to the mailbox and look for a check. :):
