The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

I was checking out some of the songs Weird Al does when I saw a brand new one that peeked my interest.

So, here's Weird Al singing about Craigslist:

I wonder if it'll become as famous as his eBay song. :D

Hmm. It never really made me laugh. I love most of Weird Al's stuff, though. Maybe the Doors are just a hard band to emulate.

ebay is a hundred times better because he actually sings about what you do on ebay.  craigslist seemed to be less of the buy/sell and more on the internet dating scene. :blink:

Now that other song that he released recently, "Skipper Dan"
"Skipper Dan", reminds me why I used to like Al so much. Though it scares me also, because I could easily become Skipper Dan in twenty years. Hopefully that doesn't happen.

You got that right!  The eBay Song isn't going away anytime soon.  The most popular version of it on
YouTube currently has over 24 million views.  And that's in just 3 years?

Most don't get even close to that in that amount of time.  Regardless of how much they advertise their video.

Even with the fact it doesn't have it's own TRUE Music Video of it, The eBay Song is here to stay. :)
