I remember a period where EVERYONE in bitcointalk used their signature campaign because they were paying insane amount of money. That was that one right? The amount they were paying were like x2 more than the closest rival, now that other places have seen what it could become, they ended up offering more compared to back in those days, but it was seriously high during those days too.
Moreover, we are talking about something that is getting a bit more dangerous when a place tries to do marketing that way. They obviously had enough money to attract people in regular marketing, but preferred to overpay for signature campaigns, that means not only they expected you to promote them, but also say good stuff about them as well.
That was seriously a big deal here. There were a few people who knew what was going on and kudos to them. The reality is that when marketing is done down to the individual, and not just regular type of marketing where they come here and talk to us, we are talking about paying everyone here. This is why so many people got fooled about them and I agree that they were one of the worst.Moreover, we are talking about something that is getting a bit more dangerous when a place tries to do marketing that way.

However, I have to say cryptsy exchange was one of the worst probably because of what happened. After mt.gox turned out to be a scam, they got almost every other investor, and people were trading there all the time, then they stole all of our money. That was the second biggest scam and I missed mt.gox days but got hit by cryptsy.
