quade 3 #2 March 28, 2011 Your very first post on dropzone.com and you're already asking for favors? This is not the way my friend. Besides which, most of us have seen countless photos that are pretty much the same as the one you've shown. Hell, some of us took countless photos that are pretty much the same. I'm a bit of a jaded has been, but I'd need to see something a bit more special.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul was really gruff and used very little tact in his post. A more professional approach would typically be expected as a corporate representative of the dropzone.com brand.

The OP reminds me of people at work trying to collect money for an uncle/cousin/neighbor who lost his job/pick up truck/left testicle. I blame KMills for winning the vacation based on her skydiving photo and not offering to take me (not that I would have gone). For the same reason I jump off a perfectly good diving board.

My job is not nor has it ever been to encourage random people to beg or advertise for anything on this web site. In fact, advertising is specifically prohibited in "the rules." I see people come on this web site all the time, make a silly post advertising something and then we never hear from them again. This guy shows no signs of being any different.
