Yeah I dont understand why anyone would want to pay for an account lol.... They're free ffs.
Back when this forum and others were really popping, sometimes people would buy accounts or spend months crafting an alt as a phishing type thing. Certain guys were already in the "in crowd", so they'd have access to, or the ability to start up new conversations in an attempt to get good gossip or owning material.
The other type of hustle were guys just looking to straight up scam or promote a competing product - steroid order scams, promoting competing boards, etc.....
For steroid scamming it might still work, but I don't see the value for owning people anymore. Everyone here is old and mellowed out.
