Wasn't the Ultimate Rallye supposed to be exclusive event for celebrities and millionaires galore? When did spamming become the preferential way to contact these high calibre participants?

It is an exclusive event. How many people on this board do you think can pay the entry fee and have a supercar to join the Ultimate Rally? We have to make contact with our target group somehow :-)

I am just using my skills to ensure the success of this event. Those who are interested in the Ultimate Rally won't bother that they learned about it in a private message on some board, right? If it makes you feel any better, we contacted a million users on all major car boards. The M5board with 10.000 users was amongst the smaller fishes

If you aren't in contact with your target group already you're going to have a major problem making it into a successful event. The Cannonball Run nor the Gumball never needed to stoop this low to attract entrants. If you have to resort to spamming instead of purchasing high-class magazine real estate or getting referrals from others within the target group it's a clear indication of the size of the budget you're working with.

I am not going to argue with someone who has a long history of being Anti-Kimble, Anti-Ultimate Rally. Please send me a PM with your mail address, I am looking forward to send you one of the first copies of our Ultimate Rally movie. Why? Simply because I know it's going to piss you off you jealouse little mickey mouse!

OK. OK. No more spamming this month.

You should feel honored. Today we made history on 20 major car boards around the world. And we started with yours first

If you want to be successful you gotta get noticed. Rule #1.

Congradulations, you are becoming successful at getting noticed as a trouble maker and hacker. How do you think those attributes lend themselves to advertising this event? For me they discredit it.
