That’s right, you can actually get PAID to surf the internet! All you have to do is download a small viewbar that displays tiny ads as you surf!

What?

Say it in English.

I thought this thread was mundane pointless stuff I must share. Basically, you can post what you want as long as it aint offensive.

For future reference: you could have simply posted something like, “Hey, everybody, look at this goofy way you can supposedly make money surfing the Internet! Ain’t that something?” but without seeming quite so obviously to be recruiting other people to do it, too.

I’m afraid you’re mistaken, my little snuffdipper.

Quoting from the registration agreement (which I guess you didn’t read):

You may consider this a warning. Do NOT do this again.

PS We consider outside commercial solicitations such as this to be greatly offensive.
