Trainerman calling us trolls..


I think the world may have just come full circle and I'm honestly expecting the apocalypse any moment.

When I recommended this site to some Japanese friends, after looking at it, they said it was scary to them. Shady Japanese played a part, but for younger people I think BB looks and feels like a scam/unsafe/seedy site.

One big reason for this is their reliance on adds, and the type of adds specifically....even yahoo now though is running front page adds to 100% scamsites, surveys, pyramid schemes, fake gaming sites etc.

These 'FREE' sites of the past have long been relying on advertisements but lucrative legitimate advertising is not so easy to place these days. Adsense is mostly scamsites.

I can understand if BB was taking money from Nike or the NBA to run adverts on their website, but they are not. They go through google, and google works primarily with scams. Dating sites, fake gaming sites, fake survey scams etc. etc.

Look at the superrewards options for getting supporter...these are all scams... Trust me, these sites are out to screw you for more than the cost of a supporter payment...

Morally where is the highground for BB??? They are not a pay-to-win scam...but so-what...they are still supported by scamsite advertisement. IF someone pays you to help them trick people out of money....aren't you a partner in the crime??

IMO BBs know full-well where their money comes from. They know that these adsense adds are primiarly scams. You lay with pigs, you wake up smeling like one.

This is hte case with the BB website now. I think they should consider finding a way to move away from advertising as a main source of income. THe free game should be a promotion of hte paid game with the enhanced feature and gameplay that is worth people's money.

For most this game is not worth money, hence they wont and dont pay any, so BBs make ends meet by selling off these peoples time to scamers. Dispicable.

I will be a millionaire soon, as one of the girls from Africa I met through one of the advertised sites knows an employee of a bank who knew one of my relatives who owned a gold mine and several factories in Nigeria - now that he is dead, they were desperately looking for a relative to transfer his $73 mil. fortune. After getting the paperwork done, I plan to invest a significant amount of money in BB. Calling that shady is a bit dum.

Thanks to the ads I'm a Nigerian Prince. Still working on the paperwork, though.
