  1. The nice people at Groupon knows about the Sportations scam, so would they be aiding and abetting the crimes of sportations/sLyride? Refuse to Lose!!! Failure is NOT an option! 1800skyrideripoff.com Nashvilleskydiving.org
  2. You would be correct about redirecting the customers to the real DZ's, as they get a lot of traffic looking for skydiving in what ever city, and currently, the most popular search words the sites are getting are, "Sportations.com", and "Sportations Scam". The problem with these keywords is that they are past tense, the customer is already stuck with a useless sLyride/sportations GC and trying to confirm that they have been scammed. No worries though, we are working to get in between the customer and sLyride by getting at or close to the top of the searches for general words like "Skydiving", "Hot Air Balloons", "Racing" etc. Jan's sites and the others out there are doing a really good job of educating the customer about the sLyride scam. As for traffic, My stuff is getting about 10,000 unique visitors a day and about a 70% CTR across 41 domains. I don't know what DZ.com or USPA.org is getting. Refuse to Lose!!!

  3. Plus, Jumpdude's anti-skyride website is doing an awesome job of re-directing potential tandem customers away from Skyride and back to the honest DZs, thus reducing Skyride's impact on the sport. Refuse to Lose!!! Failure is NOT an option! 1800skyrideripoff.com Nashvilleskydiving.org
  4. I'm heading out now, and no time to do the screenshot, but it appears that the blocking is working. As of this afternoon, the only sLyride URLs I see in the Google are skydivegeorgia.com and astskydiving.com. If you guys can get them, that should take care of it for this round, or at least until they add more URLs to be blocked. Refuse to Lose!!!

  6. He didn't cross any lines. YOU ARE!!! Why else are you getting pissed when someone points out that you could potentially be putting your military career in jeopardy by going against your sworn duty and associating your self with known, proven criminals! You know you are wrong and yet you continue to support criminal activity. Does your unit commander know about this??? Refuse to Lose!!!

  7. I would be kinda mad if they gave anything to Skyride for this boogie as Skyride does not have anything to do with this boogie. I am organizing this event for the fun jumpers at the DZ. I wanted to kick start the season off with a great event to get people in the mood to jump their asses off after a winter lull. Napier, as always, you are a DB. *To the mods who are lurking. This is not a PA but a factual statement* sLyride has everything to do with it, if it weren't for sLyride bullshitting their way in to Tennessee Airports, this boogie would not be happening. And,,, Yeah, I guess I do make a lot of noise about sLyride, so yeah, I guess DB is short for Decibel, huh? Refuse to Lose!!! Failure is NOT an option! 1800skyrideripoff.com Nashvilleskydiving.org
  8. Taking a stand isn't always convenient. If not giving money to those who "support" Slyride is important enough to warrant canceling a subscription to a magazine for skydivers (a small business run by skydivers), why is it not important enough to warrant canceling your membership to an organization that also "supports" Slyride - and in a much bigger way than sending some swag for a boogie? If you aren't willing to be inconvenienced by your "protest," then it doesn't really mean anything. If you aren't going to boycott every company and organization that "support" them, you're not taking a stand on anything. You're just blowing smoke. I did!! Refuse to Lose!!!

  9. This is a partial repost from the other thread; Why do you jump there? You know that the money you are giving them is only going to further finance their fraudulent advertising and scam and blasting stickers all over Nashville. With all the info that's available online and throughout the many threads here on DZ.com, and even in this thread, you can't say you don't know. Another question I have is this; You mentioned that BSM gave you guys some stickers, does that mean that there is going to be a blitz of Blue Skies Magazine stickers all over Nashville? I got a screen shot of your statement and emailed it to the Nashville prosecutor so if that happens, they wont go after BSM, they will be looking at you guys again, and since you added that this is your boogie, well, I guess you will be held personally liable for the stickers should they find their way to a stop sign near you.

  10. Why? You know that the money you are giving them is only going to further finance their fraudulent advertising and scam. With all the info that's available online and throughout the many threads here on DZ.com, and even in this thread, you can't say you don't know. Besides all that, The Farm is a lot better place! Give it a try, you might just like it. i have never given asc one fucking red cent!!! (rant over) i had to drop my rig off at chutingstar (connected to the farm hangar where i jump) to get the reserve repacked and was in the area, and happened to stop by since it was the middle of the week to see if i knew anyone there. i do not support ASC or SKYRIDE in any way. i would be happy if they shut down, but we need them gone for the right reasons. any dropzone that is closed because of airport problems or plane maintenance issues looks bad on the entire community. The way your post was worded gives the appearance that you were jumping at ASC. Apologies. Refuse to Lose!!! Failure is NOT an option! 1800skyrideripoff.com Nashvilleskydiving.org

  12. I think the "fleet" he was referring to is the bullshit claim in a lot of their websites that they have a "Fleet" of aircraft, but no one has ever seen. Refuse to Lose!!! Failure is NOT an option! 1800skyrideripoff.com Nashvilleskydiving.org
  13. Like I said, you don't need to make it a clicky. That helps sLyride if you make it a clicky. You posted the URL and that's all we need. Refuse to Lose!!! Failure is NOT an option! 1800skyrideripoff.com Nashvilleskydiving.org
  14. That's ok, don't make it a clicky, They don't deserve it. And yes, that is a sLyride site. Here's two more. Refuse to Lose!!! Failure is NOT an option! 1800skyrideripoff.com Nashvilleskydiving.org
  15. Here's some new ads, and some not so new ads by sLyride that are showing here on DZ.com. With the upcoming season, it's imperative that these ads go away! Refuse to Lose!!! Failure is NOT an option! 1800skyrideripoff.com Nashvilleskydiving.org
  16. cause nobody wants to jump with fat chicks! That whole site is another version of the sLyride scam! Most likely, it's an effort of Cary Q to hide or shift his assets to keep from losing them in the Eloy case. Refuse to Lose!!! Failure is NOT an option! 1800skyrideripoff.com Nashvilleskydiving.org
  17. It's not the link. Like I said, no one except the people who run Craigslist really knows what determines which ad gets ghosted. I've ran ads, that got ghosted, then reposted the exact same ad and it showed and it sold the vehicle that was for sale. Then I got the idea to post the ad that I described earlier that points people to the ghosted ad and still sold what ever I was selling. It's weird how they do that and why, but they do it and they don't discriminate. Refuse to Lose!!! Failure is NOT an option! 1800skyrideripoff.com Nashvilleskydiving.org
  18. Next day - the ad still does NOT appear. It DOES show up in my list of ads in "my account". Here's the ad link: http://houston.craigslist.org/bks/2128242866.html Note that it says it's in the Houston books section. So then go to the Houston Craigslist, books section, and do a search for that book title: http://houston.craigslist.org/search/bks?query=semper+fi&srchType=T&minAsk=&maxAsk= And you get "nothing found". Is it viewable by the public? Or not? Go figure... Here's the problem, your ad got "Ghosted". That's one of the sneaky, underhanded things that Craigslist does to keep the spammers away, but they screwed up and put that function on steroids, now nobody is immune to getting Ghosted. The only that I have come up with to get the ghosted ad to show is to make another ad, and write it so that it says something that will point the surfer to the ghosted ad. And you will need to take to URL from your email and make it into a clicky. Make the redirect ad something like, "There's a really good deal on a Corvette for sale in this Craigslist ad!" (or what ever product you are selling.) And add the URL as a clicky. The best thing to do to keep from getting flagged is to use the Craigslist ad URL as the anchor text. That way they see a Craigslist URL and it don't raise any red flags to the flaggers. As far as I know, there's no way to get around it, Nobody knows how to get around it, and nobody has figured out a way to stop them from doing that. for more info, just Google the words "Craigslist Ghosting" and you will get all the info you need.

  21. Jason and Viv are really, really nice people, and I am pretty sure that if you successfully make contact with them, they will help you out any way they can.

  22. Is this another way to impose your sLyride affiliation and affiliated website on the Skydiving community? You may remember in the last thread that discussed your PROSkydiving website, how we exposed your affiliation with sLyride and how you intend to use PROSkydiving.com to get in between the customer and the DZO. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Skydiving community and the DZO's DO NOT NEED another (any) middle man! The same goes for the other sports like racing, balloons, shark diving etc. **Note to ALL DZO's*** Do your own marketing!!! Websites are cheap and there's plenty of readily available programs out there to help you do your own site, or maybe some of your jumpers will do it for you, and once you get it done, it's not hard to get ahead of sLyride and PROSkydiving in the search engines. You don't need a middle man to skim away your profits! Refuse to Lose!!! Failure is NOT an option! 1800skyrideripoff.com Nashvilleskydiving.org
  23. Yeah, we were discussing that in the thread linked at the end of this post. How did they describe it? ie; did they describe it as a Skydive or any of several venues? http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4001812;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread Refuse to Lose!!!

  24. He knows, but he's on the road and can't get online for a while. He'll be in here soon. BTW, I didn't see it, was it a Skydiving GC or multiple venues and how did they describe it and the company? Refuse to Lose!!! Failure is NOT an option! 1800skyrideripoff.com Nashvilleskydiving.org
  25. I just sent them everything I've got and included the recent thread by 1Smart1, so hopefully they'll retract the prize and make a public apology. (won't hold my breath) Hopefully that can get included in the Eloy case. Refuse to Lose!!! Failure is NOT an option! 1800skyrideripoff.com Nashvilleskydiving.org
