Seems a bit over board doesn't it?
 

Stealing someone's content is one thing but stealing the entire gallery? I don't think I've ever seen this before but nothing really surprises me these days.

I sent an email off to to dirtydollars.com and I'm sure they'll take care of it. Anyone know those folks? I'll be firing off an email to the hosting company soon so if the link is down when you try it.

Just my rant and I guess it's time to add "id=40063100" to my black list since this idiot actually submitted it to me.

Now that's fucking sad - how moronic can you be to take a template that advertises one site & then send the traffic to another program.

People like this fuckwad give our industry a bad name :(

It amazes me how clueless some webmasters are..

The rip the whole gallery, design, content, they don't even bother changing the webmaster ref. id, why?
Because they are going to start redirecting to a pop-up hell/dialers.

Been there, got the T-shirt. |angry|

What is even worse is the ones that steal your gallery and leave in your codes so that they can redirect after it gets listed and gets your codes banned. |angry| :(

After building and submitting literally 1,000's of galleries I'm use to it. It kinda numbs you out after 4-5 years and I've been doing them for close to nine years now.

The thing that gives me solace is the fact the what is being stolen is older than what is in my head, so that they will always be at least one step behind. |santa|

SirMoby, I found a gallery that redirects on your TGP, http://www.3phonesex.com/galleries/20Nov2003_11_35_10/lesbianh046mtwm.html

Exactly, some webmasters are goddam plain out thieving asses.

In this case, the webmaster didn't take the gallery for redirection. He stole the gallery and content to promote DirtyDollars Extreme Teen site when all the graphics clearly say Hungarian Honeys which is Moby's paysite.

Guys like this should have their balls cut off.

Every day before putting on my review Armour ( Vest, Helmet etc etc ) I ask myself why do they bother |banghead| |banghead| |banghead| |banghead|

I'm pretty confident that the gallery will start to redirect soon.. if you know what you're doing when you're reviewing galleries you would only have to do a whois on the domain and be almost 100% sure that's he's a cheater.

Thank Nige

There seems to be this new script that always shows the correct gallery from the first few IP addresses that check it but then redirects other people. Since the TGP script and the reviewer are first I can look at it all day but until I change my IP address I'll never see it redirect |sad|

I need to get an AOL account just to run a seperate link checker.

I didn't realize it was one of your hosted galleries that's fucked, that's even worse. |lightsabe

I've seen a stack of dialers and other cheating galleries on some link lists and TGPs.

I used to email them to a couple of LL/TGP owners, but a few unreplied emails later, I stopped doing it.

Still about xxxlessons.com, first I always check what hosting company the gallery is hosted at, in this case I would have banned the domain based on that.

I've stopped banning domains, since it's pretty useless and way too time consuming. Now I'm just banning IPs (not the submiters IP).

Yeah. Banning hosting companies is a great idea but I'm hosted at a place that is on some black lists. I have galleries and free sites that are 2.5 years old and still getting traffic but I'm still on some black lists :((

Whenver I use to ban full fledged companies it always came back to haunt me when someone else from the same host was trying to get through, more of a hassle than it was worth.

As for the gallery stealing, back when we use to submit daily out of the office, people were always stealing our galleries, as if they were templates.. Was amazing to me, I honestly think it's laziness as opposed to a lack of ability. |knockout|

it is sad but it goes back to a huge problem with this whole industry

nobody is accountable for what they do
and we have more then our fair share of lowlifes in this biz

I dont wanna come off like jeasus christ on the cross but shits got to change

we need some sort of licensing in this industry

Couldn't agree more with you Tommy ... that's the problem all right, there's no accountability.

The cheaters don't care when they get caught ... they know they're going to get caught ... they just move on to another ISP/email/Host and do it again.
