Craigslist is so last year...

Havn't visited since you stopped allowing ads for "massages".

  I laughed out loud at this! This post totally needs it's own Facebook 'Like' Button.

  I thought it was a joke originally.

  I have to say, if this really was "that Craig", I don't blame him at all for asking.
  
  It must be pretty exasperating for him/them, you know?
  
  I've seen huge numbers of threads here (including WSO's) discussing ways of breaching, getting round, abusing and generally disrespecting Craiglist's terms of service. I know we can report and have deleted posts openly encouraging others to break third-party TOS, but we all know that it still happens. People using Craigslist within its TOS don't need to be using "proxies" all the time (as so often discussed here), for a start!
  
  Yes, sure, he's talking to an entire group based on the activities of a minority of its members, but what else can you really reasonably expect him to do, Frank? Very rare for me to disagree with you, but I think I do, here ... :confused:

You're going to fail. If you're afraid of failure then you do not belong in the Internet Marketing Business. Period.
