nope

Nope,
I'd do a scan for viruses and etc at this time and quarintine the e-mail.
Forward to spam@uce.gov as well.
I take the time to forward all spam I get to the FTC website.
When I was using my work e-mail system this seemed to cut down on spam.
We also had a corporate system which dealt with spam so don't know who was the party responsible for eliminating it, but one of the two seemed to work.
FWIW.

Sounds like it's from the old Aimoo Cast Boolits message board.

Yeah, I got the same message some time back, it is from the old board host.

Perhaps they have seen the eror of thier ways. I dont think they will be successful in pulling back the hive. They would have to offer more than some silly improvments. Maybe a new Uberti high wall to each returning member. We could all go sign up, get the bonus, sell it and donate the $ to castboolits.

Now I like that idea!

Back to reality, aimoo is merely an archive for us. It served a short time goal in saving the crew from dispersal to the ends of the www but grew increasingly unfriendly and non-responsive to member needs. Emails for assistance from the owners went unanswered for weeks for simple needs that they had pulled from my ability to help with. They grew increasingly greedy, costs were based on the number of "page views" which meant wholesale numbers could be and were in my opinion cooked up.
I believe the company was based in SE Asia or India based on the language barrier issues alone and the lack of concern was obvious after a time. They refused to give refunds once I announced our intent to move to the current Gunloads domain. They refused access to the code to transfer content. Our move has been the best decision of all time considering how much we have grown since, we are nearing four thousand members. At aimoo rates it would have bankrupted us several times. Floating ad's for ****** and pepto would have graced the windows of visitors. No thanks!

I don't know all the "inside baseball" stuff about Aimoo that Ken knows, but comparing Aimoo to Gunloads is enough for me. I like it here!

[Calamity Jake]

Yep, I'm gona stay right here.
