The Cheating Gremlins at the Traffic Exchange

A Modern Day Fairy Tale

Once upon a time there was a team of surfers, let's call them the Gremlins. They surfed together on a traffic exchange and they were quite nice really. But one day they became greedy. They could not win enough points just doing things in an honest way, so they started to cheat. There was one Gremlin who had a lot of very expensive equipment in his laboratory - of which he was so proud that he even wrote about it to a member of another team and said

'My secret to getting good PV is by running a 64-bit system, and running 14 autosurfs 24/7 in Internet Explorer x64 - I max out my ref PV within 6 hours every day'

Well of course the other Gremlins wanted to do that too, so they asked him to help them with their ref pv, and since that meant that as a team they would win more points, he was only too happy to help his team mates. He even wrote to the Traffic Exchange and asked them if they would be able to spot such a scam, and they said they probably would not. He then advertised this on the Traffic Exchange, because he wanted everyone to know how clever he and his team were.

What the little Gremlins did not realise is that every other team on that Exchange knew exactly what the Gremlins were doing and that one day the sleeping Giant (which is the Support Team of that Exchange) would wake up and probably eat up all the little cheating Gremlins.

And a good time was had by all and they all lived happily ever after...
