Let's just say that the owner is not the most well liked person in the business.

stuveltje - it has nothing to do with the program itself - hell, they paid me after all the unpleasantness - but the owner is an asshole, plain & simple.
If you want to do business with assholes, be my guest |

I've always thought this whole situation was a damn shame. The sponsor mentioned above has always been my best and they always pay EARLY, not to mention on time.
I build a lot of freesites and it bums me out that I can't use my best converting sponsor on them. It's not just GG's LL either. It's a couple others. I have raised this question before and there seems to be no answer than to just use another sponsor. So, very very reluctantly I am doing that. (P.S. Trey has never been an asshole to me. He's very well liked and respected in my book.....this may be an unpopular view around these parts but at least I have the nuts to say it)

Internet! Is that thing still around?
|
I think any TGP owner has the right to do whatever they want with their TGP. But, it just goes to prove my theory that most TGP owners are basically shallow with delusions of godhood. It's one thing to make rules dictating, size of thumbs, number of thumbs and the content in the thumbs. But, when tgp owners start dictating what sponsors a webmaster can use I think its total bullshit. Because a TGP owner has a problem with a site owner it becomes everyone's problem? It's just childish. TGP owners need to pay more attention to accepting good looking galleries that they think their surfers will like and that's it. It's difficult enough in this business without having to keep in mind who has hurt whose feelings and all the bs politics.
I was using a sponsor a few months back that was converting well for me. But, then a friend of mine started having issues with that sponsor. I thought it was bullshit and they were just being cry babies over it, but I like them, so I stopped using that sponsor. Plus they were going to hire me to do some work for them and I didn't want risk loosing out on that work. Well it's about four months maybe five months later, they still haven't hired me to do the work and I lost my best converting sponsor over it. All because I tried to take sides, make a friend happy and so on. In the end, I fucked myself out of some good money. I won't do that again. So when I submit galleries now, and I come to the GG page and I see the excellent specials for paid spots I don't buy them, I will some day I'm sure but so far, I can't get myself to do it because I think why do I want to waste my money on someone who won't even let me use the sponsors I want? Sure someday, I'll buy a spot one of these days but I'll buy a spot at a whole lot of other places first. Places that don't tell me who I can promote because they got their feelings hurt by a program owner and have decided that everyone must suffer because of it. Again, I'm not claiming TGP owners don't have the right to say who they will list and why and I never will. You don't want to list someone for any reason, that's your right. It's also my right to think that reasoning may be childish and shallow and makes you no different then the program owner you despise so much. I remember the whole deal; didn't it cross over on to a few boards? Didn't it end with an apology? Maybe I'm wrong and just remember it differently. But it doesn't matter. The bottom line is that your decision to not allow epic galleries has cost you money, it has cost epic money and it's cost a whole lot of webmasters money. I like Trey, never had any problems with him. Sure he shouts his mouth off and sounds like an ass sometimes but so what. He pays on time, every time and there's a shit load of sponsors that I'm sure you list every day that don't. But I guess that's ok, as long as they never hurt your feelings. I'll end this by saying that I have a ton of respect for you in this business. I read your newsletters, I browse the board and I look forward to meeting you someday. You seem like a great guy. But I think it's wrong that you've banned Epic. Mixing business with pleasure is rarely a good thing unless it involves lots of alcohol and boobies. Just my two cents on it. |

although i have alot of sponsors(120+) i had only trouble with 7 , from 7 it worked out with 4, 3 fucked me, the one who learned me this bizz 3 years ago, said to me oke that sponsor fucked you, i will drop them i said why?? why the fuck drop a money income who fucked me and not you, it gives you money? he said your my friend i said oke, but the sponsor pays you and you dont have trouble with him, from that money you buy food and pay bills, why the fuck drop that because the sponsor fucked a friend, are you not in this bizz to make money??? You are in this bizz to make money..........i have respect for all people in bizz, but i think i would need a reason if i wanna drop a sponsor , now what GG mention (i didnt read it) is not a way a sponsor should work so yes i understand his point and on that point i would drop a sponsor, sponsors need to have respect for others too and if there is a problem it would not be disqus(ohe hell late here) in public, not professional( he i am glad i learned something in my time on the net)

1 - I run a Link List, not a TGP - there is a differance 2 - I have no "paid spots" let alone "excellent specials" - everyone gets their Free Sites listed the same way. 3 - Here's the apology I got: http://www.justblowme.com/showthread...light=greenguy Nice, huh? 4 - like I said before: "it has nothing to do with the program itself - hell, they paid me after all the unpleasantness - but the owner is an asshole, plain & simple." Is there any other unpleasantness from my past that we can bring back up? Like the time I was a drunk newbie & told RB from Max Cash off? |

Actually in fact, I can somewhat understand speaking of your LL because I know you had a personal altercation with Trey. If I were in the same position, I would probably ban his program on my LL too. But when other LL owners start banning the program just because of something you personally had with Trey and they didn't.....one word: sheep. And all us webmasters are made to suffer. EDIT: It just really sucks, is all I'm saying. I'm losing money with my best converting sponsor because of some little childish spat. I don't know what went on, I really don't care to know what went on. But when it affects me personally, then I get concerned. Anyhow they are your sites. You make the rules. I am now using other sponsors.....but it still sucks big time.

But this thread is a waste of time... We all ban various people and programs for various reasons... and it is rarely OPEN TO DISCUSSION! Anyone that has a problem with EC being banned needs to learn to live with it and move on... DD
