You click on "Your Ad Here" and, what do you know, up comes AVNAds
http://www.avnads.com/mb/commerce/pu...1744&rdfrom=ab

Didn't we fight this battle some time ago?

I am finding that almost all of these theft sites seem to end up with the same sponsors... adbrite, dating, and a cam sponsor.

I sent some mail out so I hope there is a legendary response to these sites.

Check all your Streamray links.... I found a Legendary redirect to a full page ad with someone elses AFF ref code and a pop up to a fucking TGP.

Nobody from Streamray seems to want to talk about it.

Correct me if I am wrong: (taken from AVNAds's signup page - https://www.avnads.com/zones/commerce/register_form.php)

5. RESTRICTIONS. Subscriber (whether a publisher,
advertiser or otherwise) warrants, represents and
agrees that it will not contribute, submit or make
available through the Services, or use the Services in
connection with, any Content that is infringing,
libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, abusive,
offensive or otherwise violates any law or right of
any third party.

wouldn't the word pornographic remove most fusker sites from being able to get paid from avnads/adbrite?

Gonzo, on this page:

http://www.firefusk.com/photos/view/40097/plusminus-50

I found G770958 as the account number. Clicking on it goes to AFF.

I am guessing Lars doesn't work on the weekend, I didn't see any posts from him at the Zoo, nor did he answer any emails from me. I will wait patiently to see what he has to say on Monday.

I'm resurrecting this thread. Firefusk is still up and running, and AVNAds are still using them to advertise.

I've sent a complaint email via their form. Does anyone have a direct email address for AVNAds?

Alex, did you ever get a reply to your mail?

RawAlex · 2006-05-14, 09:26 PM

Nope... total dead end. I think someone put me on ignore.

Time to try the zoo.

I've heard I'll get the pox if I post there...

RawAlex · 2006-05-15, 01:48 PM

I finally got Sagi on ICQ... there is much dancing, shucking and jiving going on... AFF appears to have a hard time understanding why hotlinking images and operating a porn site without 2257 documentation and allow users to post anything including underage models without restriction would be a problem.

I am hoping they see the light.

Interestingly I found some playboy.com stuff being hotlinked, so I let someone from there know as well. We'll see if that helps.

RawAlex you are a legendary man of action

Well done and thank you.

I've had no reply from AVNAds, despite their lovely form promise of "We'll get back to you in 24 hours".

Ms Naughty · 2006-05-16, 12:54 AM

Bite my tongue. AVN has got back to me. Here's their reply:

"AdBrite can review sites retroactively if there is a specific complaint against them (like with this incident) but we don't have a way of blocking fusker sites from signing up. In other words, we could discontinue service to this account today, but we couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't come back in a month and create a new account as that entire process is automated.

Regardless, we will have some one from our publishing team and review the site for any necessary action. Thank you for bringing them to our attention.

Regards,

Katie Hubner

Client Services Associate"

I think I will suggest that they make a change to their terms and conditions.

That would appear to be the end of firefusk. Sagi @ AFF confirmed to me this morning that their account had been pulled (and the advertising redirected:

http://adultfriendfinder.com/search/...zulHk&models=0

Shortly thereafter the entire site went 404. While I cannot say for sure that one caused the other, I can see where there might be a cause and effect at work here. Take away the monetary rewards, and the site disappears.
