Quite strange. I just want to know if its Legit or worth my time. But Strange none the less considering i dont have my web site listed in any search engines that i know of.
- ankixa0

- ankixa0
krap - that ditto fell in the wrong place.
meant to go with the nothing open to the "public" on the particular URL they emailed me at.

A conspiracy, here's the suspect:
- Peter0
got a mail from them a few minutes ago. Probably they're snagging the addresses from this here NT right now...
come forth, whomever you are! Bot or man!

"STOP IT PLEASE"

Thats kinda lame. Why are they ripping URLs? I want to know how they are benifiting from this? Or who is selling that info?
- Blueman0
Yeah me too.. WTF???

I've been publicizing one of my sites but after seeing this thread I'm pretty sure it must have started from here. I'm debating on disregarding it based on its junk mail approach.

So to answer my own question, the person who owns this "Monster Basement " is the owner of one of the clothing companies listed in his own directory. I dont know what the politics of naming names are but whois.net works wonderfully. Still why all of us.?
Is he just covering up a self serving "directory project" to make himself look good ?
OR am i just caffinated and paranoid of interweb people ?

I got one too.
I deleted it

same... deleated
