GreenguyandJim Fighting Zango

[Jim]

I agree that it would suck...
And perhaps if you had posted it on a webmaster only board, you might have some type of claim. The fact alone that I only surf webmaster/surfer boards when greenguyandjim is mentioned should be enough. And most times with most people, my word is good enough.

But, if you look at this thread...about post number 19
http://www.greenguysboard.com/board/...ad.php?t=35453
you will see my thought process. It would have been a lot easier if I did see your post. I even had to ask our guy what htaccess file I should use. Again, if I saw your post, I wouldn't have had to do that.

All in all, the idea has been around since at least 2003. I have read so much in the past few days about zango so I can't point you to the page I am talking about. (Please take my word for it) But, I suppose that person can come out and say we both stole his idea. And yet, I saw it yesterday and you probably haven't seen it at all.

Truthfully, I didn't see your post. As I said, if I did, I would have asked you to be involved in somthing that is going to be much bigger than just zango. We are basically on the same page with this thing.

There is a ton of work to be done. If you would like to help us, that would be great.

But please, don't question my honesty or integrity. Call me a piece of shit, asshole...etc. But, I have been in this business for over 10 years. And nobody ever questions my honesty. This is why so many people are using adwaresucks.com. Webmasters know I am never going to do anything to hurt them.

Notice, I didn't have anything against making your own page
and using that stuff. I don't care, I put the solution there to be used.
But if the thing is indeed taken from there and pretend to be your own solution that would majorly suck, don't you think ?

Just a question: can you show me where you gave SmokeyTheBear credit for the idea, since he posted this: http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=665894 - on October 13th 4 days before you posted yours?

Or maybe you didn't see that thread? Sorta like Jim didn't see that one or your thread or any of the other threads that you can find by throwing some words into Google?

I really don't see the connection.
Can you point me to where he remotely mentions anything
about the User Agent Zango uses ?

Did you even read what that code does ?
let me quote it for you:

basically what we are doing is setting our sponsor in a frame from an external file that cant be read by zango thus its not "readily" apparent where the hit is going..

btw, this post pretty much proves my point.

Its like: "Yes I stole it, but look so did you, so I'm ok to do that"

That's not what I was trying to say! My point (which is moot now) was that if there is another thread or page ANYWHERE on the internet that's dated prior to yours on how to redirect zango surfers - and assuming that you did not read it yourself - would you too be considered a thief?

If I'd use something I didn't do, I'd make sure I don't get credits for it.
This thing is hardly something to call someone a thief for, I put it there
for everyone to use. But I think its common courtesy to give credits where its due.

Are you that dense that the fact that this board is owned by Jim & myself and that when I post something that we are doing together, that means it's a joint project & the fact that I was the one that started the tread is moot? This is more Jim's project than it is mine, so when you call him a thief, you have to expect that he's going to reply.

You're not the 1st one to make up some htaccess coding to redirect surfers with adware installed - and if Jim & I have to sit here all fucking day trying to find a page that's dated prior to Oct 17, then that's what we'll fucking do.

I didn't called anyone a thief, and you just proved Jim was in the wrong to begin with.

Are you trying to make it excusable for you ?

Its ok, I'll give you all credits, you can apply for a patent.
