Teach this kid a little fucking manners.....I haven't seen you in a long time & all of a sudden he's getting fucking fresh with me

Ahh... Nothing like a healthy dose of testosterone so early in the day!

Senatorx- People wiser than myself often mention that it's a good idea to hang back and lurk for a while on a board that they're new to. It allows them to get a good feel for the general vibe and the colourful characters. Ultimately it helps one to fit in much better with the local surroundings and to avoid situations such as this one.

I been lurking around since 99.

I remember the days when Green Guy use to accept AgeCheck(CyberAge) sites.

...when partner accounts didn't exist

...when DD listed almost every free site

...when sig whores didn't exist

...when the VoyeurWeb.com was cool....still is

...when clublove.com use to payout

...when Zmaster was the leading content provider

[emmanuelle]

Lurking around on the fringes of the industry (I was there too), and hanging back patiently at a board that has a distinct culture are two very different things. Not one of your examples are relevant.

Of course, there is no helping those who cannot admit that there is a problem in the first place....

[Greenguy]

Senator_x - Emma's talking about this board - hang back a bit, read & learn & post a bit.

You'll eventually learn that this is what I like to call "Classic Useless" & then you'll be laughing with the rest of us

There should be a special "Get in the Ring with UW" thread on this board

Good to see the first 10 post in here were about the actual topic

[Greenguy]

Topic?

Gotcha


This board has been part of my daily diet along with other adult boards for years. I was just defending a person I knew who had a consistent track record of straight talk.

I truthfully can't remember the last time I laughed at one of these posts. People should feel free to come here, read, lurk, post or do anything they want without having to learn who or what subject to avoid.

Let's do a quick list of who has been insulted in this thread.
XXXJay...I started with this saying that he kind of deserved it but Gonzo didn't insult him.
jayeff...Posted an opinion and was called an Ass and either an idiot or a sig whore
digifan...not quite insulted but really close. Also threatened to take the thread in another direction (whatever that might mean)
Senator_x...Did he deserve it? Fuck no. And then he gets the advice to not post? What the hell is this board coming to when we go from, "The Only Stupid Question is the Question Not Asked" to "read and learn what not to say and who not to say it to?

Fonz, you are right. Funny how threads change once the name calling starts.

Fuck This

The ZANGO detect .htaccess is very useful tool.

I wanna measure the percentage of surfers that are actually infected that visit my sites.

I am turning down my traffic to AFF but send enough to reach the 55% payout.

I can't imagine anybody taking a hit of 20% off their recurring with AFF. It is just like giving money back to AFF.

Can we stop fighting until after the contest? I'm too busy using the "username" trick on people with 6 posts

Now, those who know me realize that me calling Jayeff an ass, really isn't much of anything. And it's pretty obvious to me that Jayeff is an adult and a bright guy. I disagreed with him (and obviously others) about the value of GFY. If you would prefer that I had agreed with him and said, "yes, you'll make much more money off of GFY than GG&Jim - let me know and I'll change my stance.

I remain confused by much of Digifan's post. I did not threaten to take this thread in another direction - I asked her if she'd like to take the thread in yet another direction since she was the one who added yet another new topic to the thread - you know, about me insulting those who aren't horribly proficient at the English language. First she came to Jayeff's defense. Fine and fair. But then she ranted about bullshit.

Senator_cunt did deserve to be insulted. He insulted me FIRST! Oh, but that's right, Jim - UW is open game.

I think that EVERYONE should stop bashing EVERYONE ELSE because of their opinions.

Here's the bottom line when it comes to GFY - let's pretend you like roses. Would you walk thru a field of cow shit to pick the 3 or 4 roses that are growing there? Or would you go to a rose field & be surrounded by roses with a little cow shit thrown in for fertilizer?

Enough of this GFY shit - let's get back on track - stay the course!

This thread has me wondering two things
1, does XXXJay still think Lars is a standup guy now that he knows he's been Zangoed.
2, will that AFF class action law suit that Gonzo posted about put AFF out of business

Take it from the redneck. Either way you better watch your step.

1. I dont care what jay thinks. I form my on conclusions and I can afford my own drinks.

2. Piss off the people that promote/advertise your product and the people that potentially buy it and your out of business. Some people think its quite ethical to seed / populate a dating board with bogus profiles.

I dont and apparently the consumer doesnt.

Whats wrong with giving a customer what they paid for when it comes to our business?

It is just like an adult website promising weekly updates, but what they really do is rotate content.

I can't resist picking up on this, even though it means drifting off-topic again...

I cannot think of any other industry which sells so much crap. Make your own list or go check out a decent review site and try to come up with more than 50 sites on which you might be ready to spend your own money. Okay, okay, so you are easily pleased and managed to find 100 but now, since PPS is far and away the most popular payment model, delete all the revshare-only sites from that list. Even allowing for a wide variety of tastes, I can almost guarantee you will likely be left with 10-20 sites.

Now think about the thousands of sites that collectively we promote...

Of course we should be selling what customers want, but the reality is that even if common sense one day dawned on us all, we couldn't: imagine what our earnings would look like if thousands of affiliates were all trying to promote the same handful of sites.

Answer: sponsors need to wake up too and start building better sites. Yes in theory. But in the extremely unlikely event that there were a widespread desire to switch away from tactics designed for the 1990's, could it happen? Whether your tastes run to Karups PC or MET-Art, where would we find the army of above-average photographers that it would take? And if it is already amazing (it is to me anyway) that so many more-or-less good looking girls will get naked and have sex in front of a camera, imagine how many we would need if more sites actually delivered what they promise.

Online porn could improve a lot before it runs into such barriers and any improvement will help us earn more money. But I have a suspicion that even 10 years from now, the overall picture will not have changed very dramatically.

There's always been people that care about their work - whether it's running a paysite or a link list or submitting galleries. And there's always been people that are in this for the quick buck.

The bottom line, from the point of view of a webmaster that promotes paysites, is that you have to keep an eye on what's converting as well as what's retaining & base where you send your traffic on that.
