yup I agree 100% and it isn't gonna get any better

but still you will always have those kind of sites to cater to the freeloaders who want it all for free, fuck the samples will give them, they want the whole movie for free...

those sites, and I've checked them out and tryed them, they arn't all what there cracked up to be, like waiting for downloads, downloads stopping, needing this and that to get the download and so forth

And we know that's never going to be stopped. Still goes back to the sponsors still being covered because of the urls on the content. Hell, bypass the affiliate and it's more profits. Sad it's come to that, but what other reason could it be?

Somewhat goes along with my other theory on why I think some sponsors make crap tours, but thats another thread..:)

those bleeder sites as I call them are killing us more by sucking the traffic out of the hard working owners sites and the submitters pages...

then some may say they don't want freeloader traffic, thats BS there's buyers in large numbers....

all and all I know one thing - there's gonna be a lot of full timers become part timers and a lot of part timers giving up all togther...next year

and the day of the newbie coming in without decent money, contacts, and most important knowledge is over....and if you have money you can piss a lot of it into the wind before you make any money on your investment....|pissleft|

We don't support torrent sites in any way shape or form.

Notice the ads. So in summary, I still figure it's better to go after their money source.

Seems that Etology is dropping torrent sites as advertising partners. |thumb
Now if all the other advertising brokers would just follow suit.|angry|

It is back up mate. I did a quick search for yours and couldn't find any so thats the good news. The bad news is our content is still there.

Thanks for the check Tickler......depressing results but...could be worse I guess lol. I could actually be "somebody" and have all my stuff out there |cry|

Support torrents and the terrorists win!
