they have a trade system. you just post in a sub forum saying you are trading then there is a thread where all your TR is at.

Arite... to clear things up for all you spectators... Heres the story
I asked mario how much he made in freebies... He told me 28k... so he asked me how much i made and i said outta my ass 18k... he said show me proof like those screenshots i put in the forums... i said arite gimme a second... i googled some random picture of a screenshot from paypal, pasted it into paint, did paint text over the dates, repeated the same three dates over and over and over again, threw in some numbers and called it a day... send it to mario as a joke because it looked completely ridiculous, and had him down my neck about being a scammer... right away i said are you kidding... you know i only made like 5 grand ish from this stuff and i told him last week on aim... hes like im going to post this in the forums because you are sending this out to everyone... i told him i just made it now thats why it took me 15 minutes to respond to his constant ? ? ? of where my screenshot was...
anyways... the moral of this story is... people cannot take a joke
now that im sufficiently pissed off that ME of all people is being called a scammer.. i just felt the need to respond to mario's completely random accusation up there...

yeah that doesnt sound like somethin they would put up with around here... i said earlier in this thread about project payday and how they were sponsored by them.. i personally dont have anything bad to say about project payday b/c that is what got ME here at FiPG.. it was a link on their training website.. i have been here ever since.. i was aware of FLR and A4F back then and referral swapper.. they were also links on the website.. i know a lot of ppl here use one or all of those other different forums to trade on.. i just havent ventured over to any of them yet... havent had much of a desire to either... but reading this thread before i posted the first time and after reading what was posted since.... i see i will NOT be going to FLR to further my trades in the future.. i cant say anything negative or positive b/c i have no experience with them but from what i have seen.. NAHHHHH.. no trade mod.. a trade "FORUM"?? seems real sloppy and easily manipulated i have had a very good experience here at FiPG... the newbies will come.. just for right now.. project payday is the MAIN thing that brings the newbies and FLR being sponsored by them now is why they are having an influx of them.. i know of quite a few here who have come from project payday like myself and not ALL of us are scammers.. i tend to defend project payday in case ya havent noticed ;).. simply b/c it is the only system i found on the internet that ISNT a scam in the sense of taking yer money and not deliviring a damn thing... i may be becoming longwinded and whatnot.. im bored and semi-enebreated ;).. but as far as FLR goes.. i wouldnt worry about them.. this forum has been around a LOT longer and will continue and stand the test of time.. the newbies will come as soon as they learn a lil more and realize ya dont HAFTA green to receive information on how to do this... shit we were ALL newbies once and it IS a lil overwhelming when you first start out.. as long as FiPG keeps the trade mod and the mods do a good job as they are doing everything will work itself out aiight and the freebie scene will stay around for many moons to come )

I can recall the TR system here was at one time strikingly similar to FLR. I'll be honest FLR needs more mods and they probably got too big too fast, but it is a wealth of noobs.
And don't forget noobs help us get our hard to find refs....Even though I think I'm about done w/ ref sites....

I have been able to get refs both paying and trading there.
But the system is awful, you make a thread stating the details, then the other person confirms it, and you update the thread accordingly like our trade module.

24-05-2007 07:05:59
I love the trading system, you can post a trade and you have to wait for some noob to confirm the trade, and then confirm payment. And then you have a long list of everyone's TR. It is so sweet.

must admit i do like the trade modules here though fourtunately FLR is putting thier own in now, so the TR which is relly less important than the quality of the training a person gives will be easier to know, now.

Maybe FLR is swampped because they are the best. At least you don't have to go through all the trading threads to find who is paying and who wants to do offers. You guys seem to be exibiting a bit of professional jealousy. They also don't lock peoples posts just because they don't want to hear what that person has to say. FIPG sucks!

Thank You! There are enough problems for all of us right now. I've read about the SPAM at FLR from folks here at FiPG...Well, it's no better here; 3 SPAM PM'S in under 24 hours...I'm sure it happens on every forum. I've done very well at FLR (TR+91) and thought this would be a good place to add to my trading. Oh, as for the mods at FLR, I've never had a problem, always rapid response. Now, I haven't received an answer to my PM here about the SPAM I've received and there were no Mods on yesterday when I was on. I have a wait and see attitude now and with everything else that's going on...I'm really in the caution mode !
Here's hoping there's a positive outcome to freebie site trading for all of us...the unknown is upon us !

A4F FTW!!! j/k but seriously, if you look at my thread, I've gotten an even amount of referrals from all three sites. Each site has something that works for everyone. FLR is getting a trading system, but no one knows how efficient that will be until it's out. FLR also makes it a lot easier to find people who are looking for trades. Do those people that bravely post a topic in the "Looking to Complete Offers" section get bombarded with PMs? Yes they do, it can be a good thing and a bad thing.
FiGF trading system is 2nd to none, it was cleverly designed and implemented, that alone makes FiGF a great site for trading. Not only that, but you can see a person's TR almost everywhere (in parenthesis by their name in the forums and if you look at their post), which is important for newbies who don't know who to trust.
A4F is also a great board because they have better perks for donating. You can get your offer thread sticky'd for a month if you donate $40. That's a TON of attention that you'll get that you didn't get before. They are putting a bit too many stickys up (8 now) and should reduce it back down to 5, but the fact that you can do that is amazing!
Here are my numbers referral wise
9 FLR
8 FiGF
8 A4F
(These aren't all green, but a culmination of green, yellow, and haven't signed up for the site yet)
I am not partial to any forum, each is great in their own way as pointed out (in terms of trading anyways). As for all of the other aspects, I haven't had any serious problems with them.

After reading just this one thread, I've decided I'd much rather spend FLR's down time not communicating at all with the other members than be part of the "inter forum flaming" seen here.
I can tell you this with certainty...slamming FiPG into the ground would NOT be tolerated on FLR. It's clear a few of you here need to learn what mutual respect means.
"Be careful of the toes you step on today; they may be connected to the alili you have to kiss tomorrow."
I am and always will be a proud member of FLR.

Well, you only PMed TSJ yesterday, and he's not around this weekend. A lot of the mods (myself included) stay on invisible mode most of the time because we're just checking in from work, and want to check messages or PMs. You will often see one of us actively posting, so just PM someone you've seen post recently.
Regarding the two people you PMed TSJ about, I've revoked PM access for both of them, as well as given them a title to indicate their offense.
Any anti-FLR sentiment you may see is only due to several members coming over to FIPG and creating new threads about FLR, over and over. I wouldn't expect you to tolerate FIPG members doing something similar.

Thank You! I really have no problem with any of this...I have another PM...it's probably a Welcome Instructional, but can be taken in more than one way...I will send it along to you and I'm sure you will do whatever you feel is right. Not a problem here.
You're right about the thread thing...It's not necessary and I understand the frustration. I would like to have access to more than one forum, but the way things are happening in the freebie world...I'm not sure what my decision is going to be.
Thank You so much for your assist. It's really appreciated!

If you guys learned how to read the big red box in the upper left hand corner, than fipg would not suck. Honestly, some of us think it is the way around since you guys swamp our forum community with dozens of FLR threads when 1 thread would just be enough. I don't think you guys would appreciate if we all came over to FLR and created 15 FIPG threads.

IMO i dont even think it deserves a thread... if you guys truly were FLR "fans" you would realize that they have updates here http//www.freelunchroom.com/wordpress/
Posting on different forums won't make it go back up quicker.
I like FLR, i post there, but i also like FIPG and A4F as well and if one of them go down i dont go over posting from forum to forum asking why...

Okay, everyone knock off the inter-forum flaming. FLR Folks, we have NO problem with you guys stopping by and hanging out while you wait for FLR to come back online. We do, however, ask that you abide by the same rules that everyone else has to abide by - namely to not make duplicate threads. It REALLY bugs me when people get rude towards me when I enforce that rule, too.
We've got some strict rules because we handle a pretty decent sized volume of members here. Thousands of dollars change hands here in a week (maybe even in a day), so we've got to try and keep things in order. Granted, some of the FIPG folks have been out of line, and as you saw, TSJ put a stop to that.
We just ask that if you want to use our forums, you abide by our rules, and don't get upset when we enforce them.

I don't mind that, but keep it to 1 thread for god sakes. I think they would really get ticked off if we went over there and created 15 threads about how great FIPG is. The FLR members seem to be fairly good for the most part, so I think they do have a right to discuss what they want here, but with not so many threads. Everyone new person can be valuable to this community.
