i did get banned from the chons

[Chojin]

But you know I'll never let you go.


The ban was for asking for e-mails to invite people to Lockerz, btw. Lockerz is a site that supposedly gives out electronics (games, DSes, PSPs, etc.) to promote a viral marketing campaign, and you get the points to get the stuff by referring others. You also can't sign up without a referral.

http://www.lockerz.com - Whenever the site stops being down from all the channers trying to leech free shit from it, you can read about it.

Send me a PM with your e-mail if you need a referral to sign up.

[RaNkeri]

chons?

[captain516]

I think he means 4chan

[Tadao]

Can you get banned? That's silly.

[Chojin]

Okay, some more details -

When you sign up, you get about 30 points.
When you refer someone, you get 2 points.
When you sign in each day, you get 2 points.
When you answer their daily question, you get 2 points.
After you refer 20 people, your points are doubled from then on.

The prizes I can see right now are:
Various videogames (100pts each)
Bigscreen LCD TVs (3000pts each)
iPods (300pts each)
Skateboards and footwear and shit (225-375pts)
Tickets to see some gay band (wtf)

So yeah, if you put up with this for a week or something you get a free video game afaik.

MOAR PMs, I've sent out four invites so far.

[Tadao]

I hate being at the bottom of a pyramid scheme.

[Chojin]

There's no buy-in though ;p

THIS PYRAMID IS BUILT ON SLAVE LABOR, NOT DOLLARS

[Tadao]

Can you sign up with a fake yahoo email, cause if you can I'll do it just to give you points. But I don't plan on being active. Does me being inactive effect your points?

[captain516]

I didn't get one?

[Esuohlim]

So I click stuff on a website everyday and in two years I can get a huge ass TV?

I'll bump this thread when that happens :hat

[Jonathan Clement]

Hey! I have a piece of that action! *signs up*

[Esuohlim]

Don't give one to Clement. Do you want to get banned from here too, son?

[Chojin]

Can you sign up with a fake yahoo email, cause if you can I'll do it just to give you points. But I don't plan on being active. Does me being inactive effect your points?

They send you a link you have to click to activate. After that you don't have to do anything. Thxxxx.

I didn't get one?

The chonners have been hitting that site pretty hard lately. Check your spam and just wait if it isn't there yet.

DURR A HURR HURR

You have to send me a PM.

[Fathom Zero]

:lol

[Tadao]

I pee emed you but gots nothing.

[DevilWearsPrada]

I will sign up and say I was referred by one of the posters you referred, just to spite you >:










but seriously i want to do this too

[darkvare]

i hate this sites they never give free stuff on mexico

[Tadao]

You got our jobs, now you want our free stuff?

[darkvare]

yes and a house and just incase a hooker payed for life

[captain516]

Found it. Thanks Chojin

[Chojin]

I will sign up and say I was referred by one of the posters you referred, just to spite you >:

but seriously i want to do this too

look you idjits, send me a PM and i'll send you an invite. that's how it works. You can't just mention my name or something, i'm only famous on this half of the internet.

[DevilWearsPrada]

Do we have to inform you of our interest through PMs? cause i'm telling you right now so you should send me a link

[Esuohlim]

I didn't get mine yet and I followed proper protocol :cry

[DevilWearsPrada]

wait, so how did the guy who referred chojin sign up? if that guy got referred, who referred the guy who referred him? there's mystery to be had

[Chojin]

idjits PMing me, i need email addresses to send you the invite.

esuohlim - check again and check your spam folder

[Evil Robot]

would people eventually need to buy something or "complete a special value offer" or shit like that?

[Evil Robot]

Fuck if I want a free ipod ill just punch out a child and take one.

[Chojin]

would people eventually need to buy something or "complete a special value offer" or shit like that?

no, i'm not an idiot

[Esuohlim]

Just got it, thanks Choj

[Tadao]

I still haven't, but maybe it's because I'm not going to do anything with it and supplies are limited.

[Esuohlim]

Dude I signed up and got some ptz then I played a game and got some ptz and now all of a sudden ptz were all taken away what the fck

[Tadao]

It's pointless

[MetalMilitia]

So what you're telling me is that people on the internet are going to send me iPods for free??

And all I need to do is get a load of referrers and shit?

Nope, can't see any way that's going to be a scam.

If any of you actually receive something valuable or otherwise I will send you a free iPod myself.

[Dr. Boogie]

Laugh all you want, but someday, you'll get tired of these boards, only to return later in order to drum up support for a pyramid scheme of your own, and then who will be laughing?

[MetalMilitia]

Let's just say you're realistically going to need to get the full 20 for this to be worthwhile (for the 2x point multiplier).

So chojin needs 20 referrers.

Those 20 need 20 of their own... 400
Those 400 need 20 of their own... 8000
Those 8000 need 20 of their own... 160,000
Those 160,000 need 20 of their own... 3,200,000
Those 32,00,000 need 20 of their own... 64,000,000
Those 64,000,000 need 20 of their own... 1,280,000,000
Those 1,280,000,000 need 20 of their own... 25,600,000,000

Aaaaannnnd we've run out of people in the world within 7 levels. Well that's fine. Most people aren't going to get the 2x multiplier. But you can still get the big screen TV. All you need to do is log in every day and answer the daily question for 2.05 years. Clearly that's not something you're going to get bored of within a month and it's not like the following sentence is in their terms and conditions:

Pointz are only valid until the end of the current calendar year and do not roll over into the following year unless specifically agreed upon by Lockerz.


...waaaaaait a minute.

But you can still get games and shit! Why wouldn't they give you items with a high monetary value for doing nothing? What motive would people on the internet have for offering you things for free which are obviously worth more money than they could possibly be making from you accessing their site every day?

But they've got a good track-record. It's not like a new unproven site or anything. It's not like they could get a shit load of people sending out invites then change the rules or run the site with high-traffic for a few months, make all their money then shut it down before sending out a single reward.

No, no. This is is a foolproof way of getting a new TV if ever I saw one.

[Wiffles]

Reminds me of the Microsoft Livesearch promo some time ago. I actually got a Zune out of that ^.^

[Chojin]

Well like I said faggot, it's mostly just good for a free game after a week or so. You can also just make tons of gmail accounts and then invite them to get points, which is what I did. Bonus points if you own 6+ domains like I do and can create lots of emails for each of them.

It's not like they could get a shit load of people sending out invites then change the rules or run the site with high-traffic for a few months, make all their money then shut it down before sending out a single reward.

Make their money how? There are no ads and nothing you even can buy if you were so inclined. Let's say one day it becomes a site with TONS OF ADS. What's that worth these days, 0.05 cents a pageview? Which they'll collect on once per account, if they're reaaaaally lucky?

It's a viral promotion for the official launch of their site in the fall. They're willing to drop some capital in exchange for some early hype and buzz. It's marketing 101 and I'm inclined to believe them on it simply because they CAN'T make money off of this as it stands.

The biggest heel move they could pull is selling the e-mails to a spam network, split the profits among the founders, and close the business; but the corporate shield doesn't protect against blatant fraud and there are enough people on this network that someone would sue. Even if they got a nickel for every account and they had 3 million accounts, that'd be $150,000 - split among a few people, and which on its own wouldn't cover their server fees for the life of the project.

The entire point is that this WILL be over soon, so you might as well get your free vidja game while you can.

[MetalMilitia]

I really thought you were better than this Chojin. What possible reason do they have to send you a free game?

There's certainly nothing in the T&C to suggest they have any obligation to honour any promises made for free items or even to keep your personal details private.
Do you know of anyone else that has received anything? Anyone that didn't have a stake in the company or reason to lie (for example to attract referrers)?

Do you have any reason to believe this is a legitimate way of obtaining free games beyond the fact that this unknown start-up said that they would give them to you?

[Chojin]

What possible reason do they have to send you a free game?

To promote their site in the fall for when it changes into something different.

Do you have any reason to believe this is a legitimate way of obtaining free games beyond the fact that this unknown start-up said that they would give them to you?

Do I have anything to lose?

[MetalMilitia]

Your time?

Life's too short to spend any time shilling shitty internet scams.

Either way post back here when you get your free game and I'll re-think my position on the matter. So far as "too good to be true" websites go it's guilty untill proven innocent as far as I'm concerned.

[Chojin]

Also I guess we'll find out soon enough - i have 83 points so far.

As far as PRECIOUS TIME, log out immediately from this time-wasting internet forum and save some babies from burning buildings, you slacker.

[Esuohlim]

Metalmilitia why are you trying to make me feel guilty about moving my mouse over things and clicking, you jerk

[MetalMilitia]

Because you're all acting like suckers. :rolleyes

[Wiffles]

The power of the PRIZE compels you O.O

[Zhukov]

:lol MM and Chojin both you guys crack me up. No sarcasm.

I hope you get your game though Chojin. My reaction, however, is that the site will change into a non-existant one in the fall.

[Chojin]

:lol MM and Chojin both you guys crack me up. No sarcasm.

fine by me, i'm not really interested in being a part of their COMMUNITY

[Evil Robot]

All this means is that a retail outlet is going to be your best friend on myspace and anytime you type something it will send you an email about another consumer product they recommend you buy since you have no free will anymore. They might have a new approach to marketing but the end result will be the same. After they go live it will just be another store trying to shove shit in your face and cluttering up their personal pages with ads and filling the inbox.

There's also no reason to make it invite only other than to fool people into thinking it's for a limited amount of people and to get in quickly. They have clearly demonstrated that this is not the case.

Loophole exploited, i-pod soon gained :bestthread

[Zomboid]

PM me about this loophole :O

[LordSappington]

Ditto. My mp3-player/phone got smashed.

[Dimnos]

Anyone notice that when you go to the "redeem" page it says everything is "fresh out"

:MetalMilitia

[Guitar Woman]

Am I the only one who isn't a fucking hobo and can buy games

[Chojin]

:MetalMilitia

did you notice on the front page they said they weren't updating their inventory for a month ;p

i got my t-shirt from them

Am I the only one who isn't a fucking hobo and can buy games

this, from mister 'i'm too poor to buy starcraft'?

[Dimnos]

No must have missed that.


this, from mister 'i'm too poor to buy starcraft'?

:lol

[Guitar Woman]

I did buy starcraft but without the original CD key, dick

Also fuck Blizzard, I'm not giving them any money until Diablo 3 is out.

[DevilWearsPrada]

Sorry zomboid, think this was a one time thing. ANYWAYS, I logged in and did the daily question thing, then navigated to a different page on the site and noticed my points went up by 2 when I did so. Queue me clicking on the homepage link for 10 mins straight and getting 2 points each time.

[MajorScales]

I just got the Chons/Pron thing :\

[kahljorn]

Chojin is banned from underwear?

:(

[executioneer]

I just got the Chons/Pron thing :\

those two terms have little to do with each other apart from them both being extremely annoying to hear people pronounce

[Dimnos]

ORDER RECEIPT
#825

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 - PS3
Total PTZ value: 100 PTZ
Order Date: 9/15/09


Thanks for redeeming Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 - PS3 for 100 PTZ at Lockerz. We are now processing your order. All orders with US addresses should arrive within 7 to 14 days.

Now I just have to see if they actually send me anything. Anyone else who joined Chojins pyramid scheme manage to get anything the other day?

[Zomboid]

I'm in Canada, and evidently International orders won't be happening until Oct 15. I'll just get more points in the interim :O

[Chojin]

[FONT=Arial]Now I just have to see if they actually send me anything. Anyone else who joined Chojins pyramid scheme manage to get anything the other day?

I was trying to get the flip video cam, but it kept sending me to /ptzboutique/0, which was a Page Not Found. idk if it was their server being gay or if it was an elaborate ruse. After about 15 minutes of trying, it was sold out.

[Dimnos]

Lame :(

[Fathom Zero]

Can I get a Pagani Zonda if I participate?

[DevilWearsPrada]

MotherFUCK...they stole my exploited points, and I was too late to get prototype or scribblenauts with my remaining 120 pts :(

[Dimnos]

Sho Nuf... :)

[stevetothepast]

ah shit, does it work for us canucks i wonder...

[Dimnos]

I think you guys have to wait a week or two before you can get stuff. Not sure if that means you cant even redeem until a week later or if they just dont ship your stuff until a week later. Zomboid said he ordered something. Might want to ask him.

[captain516]

Damn! They're "Fresh Out" of everything. How often do they restock?

[Dimnos]

Yeah they went fresh out about 20 minutes after they posted the new stuff. You gotta be quick on it. I have no idea how often they restock.

[Seven Force]

banned for spam :lol

[Chojin]

good to hear, dimnos. i've got about 400 ptz now

[Dimnos]

Did you get the people to become a z-lister or whatever?

[stevetothepast]

how many ptz was the MUA2?

[Dimnos]

100

[stevetothepast]

that's not even a lot of PTZ!

[Dimnos]

Nope. Im already back up to 50 and I dont even sign in and do dailies on the weekend.

[Chojin]

Did you get the people to become a z-lister or whatever?

yeah, and I got the t-shirt for it

[Fathom Zero]

i can has invite prz, chojin?

[Dimnos]

Oh let me send it. He is already a z lister.

[Fathom Zero]

I sent you a PM.

[Fathom Zero]

:(

Has not receive yet

[stevetothepast]

I got 17 PTZ already. So they're pretty much always fresh out are they?

[Dimnos]

When I joined up they were fresh out of everything but then restocked on the 15th. They were then fresh out of everything about 30 min after restocking. Not sure when they will restock again. :\

[Fathom Zero]

After an hour of digging through my spam, I got it. Apparently I underestimated how much spam I got per minute.

[Dimnos]

[MLE]

Is that the doctor from Firefly?

[stevetothepast]

that pic made me giggle.

[MLE]

That did not answer my very important question.

[DevilWearsPrada]

I have about 600 points, they're gonna jack up prices after next redemption. I just hope that they'll actually post that they're having a redemption next time rather than post vague clues about it possibly happening soon so I can get a fucking ipod and never look at this site ever again

[Tadao]

I just noticed MLE is on.HI SWEETHEART!

[Fathom Zero]

I HATE THIS PLACE. NOTHING WORKS HERE. I'VE BEEN HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS. THE MEDICATIONS DON'T WORK.

[Zhukov]

So by my sparse assessment it seems that the i-mockery ptz collecting team has managed to receive:

* T-shirt
*
*
*
*
*


Am I missing anything else?

[Fathom Zero]

Someone got a game or something.

[Chojin]

and i have received two t-shirts.

[Dimnos]

I got a copy of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 from them about a week after it came out.

[DevilWearsPrada]

I got a 2gig flash drive shaped like a lego, it owns kind of
