I've met Ramster's wife. That man doesn't go for dogs. He has excellent taste.

I've only met Ramster, he forgot to bring his wife, bummer

I feel left out

I do have an account with stiffycash since 2001 or so but never promoted them. Maybe that's why you guys are ignoring me.

Thumbler · 2005-10-07, 09:56 AM

I got it but it didn't really bother me, the thing that surprised me was that they didn't dedupe their list and remove exisiting webmasters from it. Inviting me to join a program I'm already promoting seems a bit pointless.

I'm curious what people are defining as spam- stuff that you're sent after signing up for an affiliate program or board? I send an email to affiliates of my site every few months to remind them I exist and let them know I have new free content, is that spamming according to the folk here?

Not at all & you should be emailing your affiliates as often as you can. Keep them informed about what's new, what's changed, etc. I love newsletters for sponsors - reminds me that I'm an affiliate & makes me feel all warm & cozy inside

SirMoby & Surfn were just confused as to why they got the email

That's what I thought, I was just getting the impression that some people have stricter definitions of spam than I do.

In my case the email wasn't actually spam because I signed up to a board they run a few years ago and gave them an email address.

The reason I thought it was spam was I get the same opening line 20 or 30 times a day and this was the first time I've ever seen a business email used that approach and it also came to an email address that I don't give to sposnors so I knew I never signed up to one of their programs.

Had they identified themselves as owners of Porn City or used a more common appraoch in announcements I never would have thought it was spam. On the other hand maybe I should know them.

I like getting announcements and communications from business partners. Just don't use the same lines as spammers and you should be OK.

Mayor_PC · 2005-10-07, 09:59 AM

Hey guys, sorry if it upset you. We didn't buy a list and spam it. You either joined one of our programs or registered on our bbs.

TL · 2005-10-07, 11:04 AM

I, like most people, get spammed daily... "get a bigger cock" or "you need a logo" etc etc but to call an email from one of our industry leaders spam is just short sighted.

Whenever GFY has a getaway, I get 3-4 emails about it.. why, because I've signed up in the past to at least 3-4 of Lensman's programs.

Lensman and Mayor are not trying to get me to pay to watch midgets fucking or brainwash me into a pyramid scheme... they are letting me know about industry related things including new programs that convert.

That said, even the two board owners here get it...

ps i like this smilie

Surfn · 2005-10-07, 11:18 AM

I was never a StiffyCash or MayorsMoney affiliate. I did however have some sites on PornCity in the 90's when the Hun liked that host. That was 3 or 4 owners ago. I have been denied access to update for years. No one replies to my emails to any of the owners. But they find my old email address and try to pretend like nothing negative has happened. Not good customer/affiliate relations any way I look at it.

Mayor_PC · 2005-10-07, 03:19 PM

I think you have me confused with someone else, up untill we terminated our free hosting program it will fully suppored 24X7 on our message board. Oh yea, and last time I checked porncity hasn't been sold once.

Also, if you reply to that email, you'll get me. Personally. or you can always ICQ me 6313737

Thank you for clearing this up. I didn't know that Mayor was affiliated with Porn City. I didn't even know who Mayor was at all. Perhaps I should but I didn't. I'm sure that I gave this email address to Porn City.

It's just that I get emails and ICQs all the time from people I don't know saying things like "This is someone, long time no chat" and I think this is the first time it's been a legit email and not a spam. It also went to an email address that I use for boards.

Now it makes sense and thanks for the professional and accurate responce. Obviously you understand there's no reason to get defensive or sarcastic with your affiliates.

GG - I love you too but how many emails do you get that start out like this email did and how many of those are spam? I think this is the first one that wasn't spam.

Jim - Do you know how long it takes to call a company and complain? No way I'd call.

It is interesting to see how many people did take offense to the email. I did until Mayor_PC simply explained the facts and answered the question.

My bad.

He's the "Mayor" of Porn "City"....get it?

Greenguy · 2005-10-07, 10:50 AM

SirMoby - you know I love you, but I was just wondering if you complained to every company that spammed you yesterday or if it was just this one.

I got 3000 emails yesterday & this was one of them. So even if I complained & got them to take me off the list that they have all rights to have me on, today I'd still get 3000 emails (well, maybe 2999)

Think of how long The Mayor & Porn City & whatnot have been around...odds are you signed up for something with them

Greenguy · 2005-10-07, 02:54 PM

OH! If you liked the email, wait til you get the hand written letter in the snail mail

MrYum · 2005-10-07, 03:00 PM

Ramster...ya lucky bastard

I didn't get the email, but did get the cool little thumbdrive via snail mail a week or so ago. Along with what appears to be a hand written note. Thought it was a nice touch for a program I'd just signed up with

Also, very pleased with the numbers promoting their sites so far

If I HAD gotten the email...no big deal. I get hundreds a day and delete at will. The ones that do piss me off are the ones telling me I need a bigger dick! Cuz I DON'T...REALLY I don't!!!

If Brooke Skye is in the package I'll be happy because she's a hottie. I'm not sure that Nataliya will let me keep her but it's worth asking

Maybe I can convince her that Brooke is an Au Pair and she's actually there to make Nataliya's life better.

Useless · 2005-10-07, 03:56 PM

I received that email. I didn't fucking like it. So there. Poo poo on all of you who love getting shit like that. If I sign up with Cocksucker Cash and Fuckface Bucks emails me to inform me about their new program - it's spam to me. How am I supposed to know that Governor McCheez owns both? I'm not about to be apologetic for feeling the same way SirMoby did when he got it and I retain the right to rebuke any attempt at chastizing me for not liking unsolicited bullshit email. It pisses me off that people feel they have some right to send you an email everytime a fresh wind passed between their buttocks just because you made the huge fucking mistake of signing up with anything they're involved with.

Jim, I've seen that same analogy used over and over again in the last couple of years and I still call it bullshit. You want to know why? It has never bothered me to receive the occasional flyer from local businesses or some idiot offering me supposedly better insurance rates. How often do you hear anyone complain about real world junk mail? Hardly ever. However, since the first kb of spam was sent, everyone has complained about it. It's cheap and we get bombarded with the shit. The bombardment is what made computer generated junk mail illegal.

You stay classy, San Diego.

I dont have an account with either program and I received it. Apparently they have webmasters confused with surfers.
