A link request I got for goth.net

I suppose that the visitors of our resources belong to the same social group and my site could be useful for your audience so I suggest to exchange our links. This will help both of us to increase Link-Popularity and accordingly get top positions in many searching system, Google for instance.

My site is dedicated to guns.

I hope that our subject as well as your site info will evoke mutual interest of our visitors.



Err... yeah. I'm kind of speechless about this one.

It was a form email anyway from what I could tell, but I'm still wondering what the fuck they were thinking sending it to me.

Oh shit! I've gotten a half dozen of those in the past week. My theory was that it was because of my papow . com email address.

Stupid quick anecdote: Pa-Pow is the name of my consort's dog. He loves that dog. His license plate, URL, every username.. it's all about his dog. He even has a P in a starburst tattoo'd on his shoulder.

Ted loves that dog.

Anyway, people generally assume that "Papow" indicates that he's either a gun nut or a Pennsylvania P.O.W.

No joke.

I'm babbling. Back to work.

Odd. Though I can kind of see how they'd make the connection (in a spaced out/overtired/not paying attention way).

However with goth.net I have to wonder. While I don't want to speak for all goths I just can't really imagine them being the "same social group" as people frequenting a site called the-big-guns.com.

What - have you been living on the moon? EVERY goth has at least three guns... I mean, I'm going online to buy my fifth gun today. this one is special so I can go shoot up some high school, one of my favorite gothic past-times.

Actually, I'm really not sure which part of this I find funniest.

*points hysterically at the stupid man with the gun website who thinks goths might like guns who is also stupid enough to randomly email people and tell them he's a gun nut*

Well, I'm not sure he randomly emailed me, being as I am the person doing the links for GN ;)

Not sure if Kebechet got an email from the same guy.

For me the funniest thing is that he feels that the visitors of each respective site are in the same social group.

me too!

I got the same email, so don't worry. It's just spam like everything else. I guarantee there's no connection between guns and my camgirl site ;)

In fact, I got the same form email a few weeks ago, but the topic was something other than guns. It might have been e-business or something. It's obviously just doing the rounds.

So now goth=guns? I guess that comes from all the trenchcoat maffia shit or something. Of course, my ex was obsessed with guns. He wanted to run guns for a living. But then, he's not really goth. He's a wanna be goth thug. (I think you knew that though.) So it's not quite the same thing. I'm gonna stop rambling now. Sorry. =)
