Come on people.
I want to hear some heads shaking.
Some lying SPAM friendly dumbass making a total diaper load of a post like this and you
people are eating it up. It makes me sick.

I have used Mozilla and then Firefox since the beginning, and I also have been using
the Blue Frog and have been , In it to, win it! against these lying criminal scumbags
as a member of the Blue Community, since start up.

There are a number of myopic "experts" spreading half baked crap about Blue Frog,
and there are a whole lot of ignorant dipshits with lot's to lose, from us actually
taking a stand against criminal SPAM.

If you want to spread poison then join the Blue Community and poison these S.O.B's
business model.
NO it's not DDOS,
YES it's LEGAL,
There are currently over a half a million of us, and the community is growing stronger
as the attacks make news, and rational educated people see the poison posts, read
the responses and make the Right choice. Come on really, do you feel that the whole
internet should be under the control of. or held hostage by some criminal lowlife.
Don't you feel you have a right to have your kids be able to open an inbox thats
not full of CumPills, Viagra, FarmAnimal Porn and every imaginable Con, Scam and
link to drive by malware installs.
Once enough people see the light, suck up even a small amount of guts and take a
stand. We will be able to put all this insidious criminal horse sh*t behind us.

GO! FROG! GO!

Come on Mike, lets have another dumbass diatribe. Everytime you post, someone else signs up to the frog. Are Blue Security paying you to raise moral in the community? Lets hear some more half baked pro spam flim flam. It's the best recruiting drive we could have! And, by the way, I still haven't had any spam for 5 days and I owe it all to the frog.

Haven't got time to read all this stuff, what's the verdict? Do I install this Blue Frog or not? I know Tatsfield is OK, so that's +1, what's the word of the normal people on this?

My personal opinion is that it's good to go. I'd heard of BlueFrog before, but I'd been told that it was as mike18xx says--that it was a front for spammers--so I didn't use it then. However, the recent DDoS'ing on the part of a portion of the spam industry had me take pause. If BlueFrog was a spam-list collector in secret, why would spammers dislike it enough to risk breaking the law (network disruption)? 2 and 2 did not make 4, with that brand of logic.

When you boil it down to its simplest, it's a matter of who you trust. Who do you trust more, the minority who cries that Blue Frog is a scam, or the majority of users who are happy with it?

Mike18xx's spastic posts are getting more hysterical and incoherent with each minute... anyway, while he helplessly flails his arms in the general vicinity of a keyboard, back in the real world the extension (and the Blue Frog system backing it) is working just fine and it does exactly what it is advertised to do. It's still not a full replacement for spam filters, of course, but it's a nice enhancement and complement to any filtering solution you currently have.

@Frank Lion

It's a go 4 me too

We've installed it on the workstations here @work, I have the Frog working on my LAN & I am getting more & more people turning to the Frog.

Funny thing about the 'threatening email' spams people were getting. Seems they sent the email to people that never heard of the Frog nor was REGISTERED to the program/community. Thanks to those emails, they are now BlueFrog community members!!

GO FROG GO!

Nice "Conspiracy Theory" post, Mike18xx. Heavy on theory, light on proof to back it up.

Do you really think that all of the 500,000+ BS members have been tricked? Many of us are technically skilled and can actually monitor what the Blue Frog is doing, and we're keeping it!

Do you really think that all of our Firewalls/Virus Scanners/Anti-Spyware/Anti-Trojan/... are incapable of picking up the "evils" that you assert the the Frog is doing? If the Blue Frog is so evil why haven't the manufacturers of these products started alerting its users? Easy answer, because it's *not* doing anything evil!

Do you really think that the threats, the DDoS attack, Joe-Jobs, increased spam against BS and its membership was a clever BS marketing campaign to gain more members? The increase in BS membership was caused by the very spammers driving the threats and attacks against BS and its membership, and the "marketing campaign" is ably carried on by people such as yourself spreading the mis-information! In a way, we should be grateful to you... :-)

Do you really think that we're giving our email address to spammers by joining BS? As gazillions of people have, are, and will be pointing out... the spammers already have our addresses!

How does BS and the Frog convince spammers to leave us alone? By sending 1 (one!) "leave us alone" message to the owners of the product being spammed to us, for each spam that's sent to us. If the product is spammed to 1 million BS members, then there'll be 1 million "leave us alone" message sent to the spamvertiser, and that should annoy any spamvertiser enough to "leave us alone"!

This is the first product that is able to reflect back to the spammer and spamvertiser the same annoyance that the victims of spam (us!) feel every time we check our email and see more unsolicited, unwanted crap forced upon us!

Frank Lion... I suggest you ignore the scare tactics put out by people such as mike18xx, and weigh up the evidence... and then you'll join Blue Security and install the Blue Frog, but the choice is still yours...

Thanks Frank for the confidence. I posted on this thread on page 3, long but detailed, my take on the Blue Security system and their probable business plan. I think I'm right. A good business concept just feels right and I think Blue have sussed a way to reduce spam for a community rather than for everyone. Spam filters promise to help just the people that install them but Blue will be able to offer cover for a subscription based on the work that we volunteers have done to get their program launched. That is why their financiers will have backed them to the alleged tune of $6M.

In theory everyone could join the scheme but in practice it will only work if there are enough to provide the muscle of huge opt out campaigns against spamvertizers and enough left outside the system to provide spammers with sacrificial targets. It's a bit like how small fish defend themselves against preditors. They gather into huge groups which ensure that the preditors cannot eat them all. That's what Blue are doing, gathering spam resistance into a huge group and letting others be left outside to be eaten by the spammers. The spammers are hapy to have targets and the protected are happy to be left alone. Not a perfect solution but better in than out.

I am a recent convert to BlueFrog coming in after the attacks. I haven't been able to use the service yet because they are still recovering but I am looking forward to it.

I don't use webmail though so I don't need the extension at this point. I do get up to 10,000 spams a day that I would like to reduce.

I have been filtering with popfile and the stats for the year are:
Spam: 423,092 (86.87%)

I had been hearing about this controversy from various places, but since I am not very bothered by span I did not pay much attention. After reading this thread, I am signing up with Blue Frog. Thanks Mike18xx for making me more aware of it. Thanks to the rest of you for writing clearly about what BF is and how it works.

I suggest that interested readers of these exchanges contrast your assertion of receiving "the same amount of spam as before" (ie., Blue Frog ain't workin fer shizzit) with my "increased ten-fold" assertion, and average a chance they'll receive five times their current spam-load if they install Blue Frog.


Very wonderful indeed, considering you didn't make any "Increased ten-fold" assertion in this thread. (Or these forums, as far as I can tell.)


Maybe you meant here instead?

Blue Frog works so well spammers have hit it with an illegal (and expensive for the spammers) DDoS attack. If it didn't work, why would they bother? Of course, I don't know why they send spam to people who will never buy their products anyway AND WHO TELL THEM SO. This is what Blue Frog does. I should think the Frog would actually be saving spammers money.

I joined BF last August. By December my spam had dropped from 100 a day to 9. Try it; you'll love it. www.bluesecurity.com :D :D :D :D :D

Blue Frog is a fantastic tool, I can reccomend it to anyone who wants to reduce their spam. It's worked for me, and reduced my spam.

If you haven't installed it on your PC, then you should seriously think about doing so, so that you can join in the fight against spam, and see a reduction iin your spam. If you have the Blue Frog on your system, and were thinking of uninstalling it, don't as it is not as evil as people make out.
