                  Do you honestly think that someone capable of sending that kind of volume hasn't tested out other programs?
                  I've thrown traffic at TONS of PPS and revshare programs over the years, and Naughty America gives me the biggest return on investment.

                  The $$ per sale or $$ per click don't matter so much as the $$$ period.

                  I can't pay my mortgage with a $35 per theoretical sale....I can only pay my mortgage with cash, and that's what I get with NA, lots of cash.

                        yes... i agree.. but that was not my point... I wasn't pointing anything from my initial post towards you... hell I don't know your business and your sites and I don't care to be quite honest - if it seems to work for you... fine....
                        When the 20 bucks / sale is a good value for you and your traffic that's cool with me... congrats on that... for me however $14 / sale sucks which was my point being

                        we all know that what might work for one might not work for another one which is why I double checked my stats with other well experienced webmasters capable of sending nice quality traffic in a nice volume and I've always heard the same.
                        15-20/sale on such content is a weak outcome to my mind - that's all

                              The key here is that you feel.

                              You might feel this or that - but thats not how it always works.

                              Hope you get it resolved cuz both companies are top notch and unlike you I don't feel he did it intentionally!

                                He knew EXACTLY what he was doing. He claimed this was one human error and within 5 minutes of looking around I found dozens of one human errors. He fucked us over and knew exactly what he was doing when he did it. You don't make that mistake dozens of times.

                                    I doubt that anyone who has ever heard of the Karup crew disbelieves their statement that the upsells were there and that they shouldn't have been. Therefore Socalstreams was in the wrong, plain and simple. It's just a distraction for anyone here to speculate as to whether the appearance of these upsells was a mistake or deliberate. It's even more irrelevant whether people like Andreas or if NA converts well for them or not.

                                    The professional reaction to getting Karups call would have been to offer a refund immediately. Not only because it would have been the right thing to do, but out of self-interest. If you have lost someone's confidence and want to salvage anything at all from the situation, you bend over backwards to do so. When the fault is so obviously yours, you do not make an offer of recompense that is conditional on continued business. The best you can hope for is that a solid gesture of good faith might rescue something.

                                    And it's just tough if your client is pissed and doesn't talk to you in the way you would prefer. You suck it up. The client has every right to be upset in circumstances like these: especially to Karups, the presence of these upsells would not have been a minor matter because they introduced an element to their member area that is entirely contrary to the principles on which they run their sites.

                                    We have all been in situations when our egos get in the way of us doing the right thing first time around. But Karups wrote that they have spent a week trying to resolve this and come to that, it's almost 12 hours since "DrinkingHard" called Andreas about this thread. Does anyone seriously think the response was adequate that "He is more than happy to make some kind of restitution and would like to work things out. He respects you greatly as a peer and a person, he would just ask that you call him and be a little bit more civil and polite on the phone." Andreas knows what Karups want yet he talks of working things out and he puts Karups in the position of having to call him (you could say, on his terms), to get anything at all. That is just further compounding the mistakes he has already made.

                                    This is one of the most intelligent posts I have ever read.

                                      I agree with the Elders here. set your feelings aside handle it like a professional and refund the money to the customer if you have it.

                                        He probably doesn't have the money. Thats why he has to steal our members.

                                              agreed. I hope Andreas picks up the phone. He seemed like a nice guy when i talked with him, so i hope ha sorts this out with you.

                                              Incidentally, if you need leased feeds WITHOUT watermarks, java applets or anything else linking to your sites. let me know.

                                                This has been a good read from people who know a lot in this business and are well known, aside from some people posting useless spam.....

                                                I decided not to reply in this thread till i read this reply...

                                                I think its truly unprofessional spamming your shit in a serious thread

                                                  Don't know either of you, have seen Karups around for years, and since it looks like Karups is a Michigan company I am going for the home team

                                                  Just kidding, does sound kinda shitty what happened, hopefully it works out for both parties.

                                                  For those saying "Why if your (Karups) sites retain so well why would you need the plugin"

                                                  You could also turn that around and say, if NA's content was so great and his retention was so high up there, why would he take the risk of making his content available on other sites, does he need the money?

                                                  Just another way to look at it, again good luck getting it worked out guys, it sure looks like you have a lot of people who respect both parties and it's always a shame when good business people have conflicts with each other in this biz.

                                                    Hello All,
                                                    A month goes by and this just seems to fall off and its forgotten. Typical that lots of people would back up NA in the begining because they thought their program is big because he has done a good job of bullshitting everyone so he has to be right and this has to be a mistake right....WRONG! This is a perfect example how everyone got fooled into thinking NA is a HUGE program who has all the money and have taken such good care of their affiliates and webmasters. We proved Andreas was wrong and most people stayed out of it because they didnt want to get in the middle. Then we clearly showed we were in the right when people called Andreas about this and we never heard from Andreas or anyone else from NA and this is all but forgotten. So here I am bumping this thread to remind everyone what a peice of shit Andreas and NA are and next time make sure you really know who you are standing behind before you jump to conclusions. ANDREAS GO FUCKYOURSELF!

                                                                Not that it matters, but was the upsale links placed on ALL pages, or SOME pages?
                                                                If it is placed on ALL pages it is most likely added by mistake. If it is on SOME pages it is most likely done on purpose.
                                                                No matter what it is still wrong.
                                                                Andreas should go through his stats, they got some good tracking options so I'm sure it is not impossible for him to find all members that was reffered by domain a,b,c.com and then pay commisions on sales made + bonus + refund for plugin fees.
                                                                Also making a statement in this thread would be a good idea.

                                                                    If it is placed on ALL pages it is most likely added by mistake. If it is on SOME pages it is most likely done on purpose.
                                                                    No matter what it is still wrong.
                                                                    Andreas should go through his stats, they got some good tracking options so I'm sure it is not impossible for him to find all members that was reffered by domain a,b,c.com and then pay commisions on sales made + bonus + refund for plugin fees.
                                                                    Also making a statement in this thread would be a good idea.

                                                                    Hi,

No where near all of them. We all know this was 100% intentional. He knows it and we know it and now GFY knows it.

I agree with Lens here that Andreas should have just sucked it up on the pride dept and paid you guys three months. All this drama would never have happened.

                                                                        Just my two cents but imo you writing "He probably doesn't have the money. Thats why he has to steal our members." doesnt help your cause much. I know your angry man and I am as guilty as the next man of showing my anger publicly, but Socal surely has the cash to pay off three months of leased feeds.

                                                                        Take care, I hope this story has a happy ending for all involved.

I would love to get with you guys for some dinner. Send me an ICQ or an email with the details and I will be there. Yes I am angry and I agree with you about not saying certain things, but the mere fact that he cannot even reply or offer a simple acceptable solution is pathetic and therefore subject to my thoughts. And quite honestly I don't think he has the money. If he did he would have offered to pay that and have this never go public. Think about it. If he is willing to spend money on sponsoring shows, parties, dinners, etc... (all of which is more expensive then doing right by me) in the hopes of getting webmasters to push his program or use his services don't you think he would just pay me my reasonable offer of 3 months to keep this quiet and avoid the negative pub?

                                                                                    how are you my friend? I will down there for sure and Jeff is a maybe. I would love to get with you guys for some dinner. Send me an ICQ or an email with the details and I will be there. Yes I am angry and I agree with you about not saying certain things, but the mere fact that he cannot even reply or offer a simple acceptable solution is pathetic and therefore subject to my thoughts. And quite honestly I don't think he has the money. If he did he would have offered to pay that and have this never go public. Think about it. If he is willing to spend money on sponsoring shows, parties, dinners, etc... (all of which is more expensive then doing right by me) in the hopes of getting webmasters to push his program or use his services don't you think he would just pay me my reasonable offer of 3 months to keep this quiet and avoid the negative pub?

I can see where you're coming from, but this will not change my opinion of Andreas. This is obviously only one side of the story.

                                                                                          PS. He runs the best retaining sites in the industry.

                                                                                          Move on.

                                                                                              The members areas of Karupspc.com & Karupsha.com has offered their plugin service, Socalstreams, for several years. Since we paid a premium monthly fee for the service, our agreement with Andreas was that we never wanted any upsells or advertisments to his sites/services. He knew how strongly we felt about this and agreed that there would be no upsells. We know that upselling your members is a common practice for many sites owners, but it's something we've always tried to keep to an absolute minimum.

                                                                                              Upon visiting Socalstreams from our members area one day recently, we noticed that there were NUMEROUS upsells in NUMEROUS locations. These included new watermarks containing urls to his sites on the pictures (which early on he agreed he wouldn't do), a java applet running across the top of numerous picture pages linking to his paysites, etc...

                                                                                              When we contacted Andreas about this, his reaction was "I apologize for this single human mistake, it wasn't intentional, yada yada yada". Had there been just one mistake that would have been a logical excuse, but there were dozens of these mistakes on dozens of different model's pages.
                                                                                              At this point we wanted nothing more to do with him or his service, so when we offered the service for 3 free months & some exit traffic to makeup for backdooring us, we weren't interested. We simply requested a refund of the last 3 months we paid for his service and we would go our seperate ways.

                                                                                              After going back & forth via phone & e-mail for over a week, he suddenly stopped replying. We called him earlier today to ask why he was no longer replying and he said "you insulted me and I felt that it was a smack in the face, so go ahead and proceed accordingly and I'll react accordingly".

                                                                                              Andreas, you betrayed our trust on a personal & professional level.
                                                                                              Anybody dealing with you should be made aware of what kind of person they're dealing with. We've been in the business since 1997 and anybody who's ever dealt with us knows we're as straight up as they come. Fuck you and your 3 free months you offered us. That doesn't makeup for you backdooring us the way you did.

                                                                                              Lou / EENT

                                                                                              As for having to resort to the boards... You have to do what you have to do. If a certain program is reading this, that owes me two fucking Rolexes, I am still waiting for you to complete you part of the bargain!!!!

                                                                                                  3 months? i'm guessing you're angry and rightfully so cause he got away with it for too long, but you're also mad at yourself for letting it happen. but don't let anger take over. You didn't catch it soon enough. That's reality and I think you're OVERLY mad cause you're mad at yourself for not catching it sooner. He got you. You def got him back in this thread and not even by your words soo much as him not responding in the thread - that strengthens your position a LOT.

Not addressing a MAJOR playing in the industry like lou is making you look week and guilty and is really hurting your rep. You NEED to make a presence here if at least to solidify your position and not have your employees do it or your rep will SEVERLY suffer.

Honestly, I could have caught when it was only 2 days old or several months old. Thats besides the point. THE POINT IS ANYONE WHO IS TRYING TO HIJACK MEMBERS FROM US IS FLAT OUT STEALING, CHEATING, ROBBING, ETC... FROM US. Whether for 1 hour or 1 year. You of all people should know that what he did is 100% wrong and regardless if its 1 hour old or 1 year old its fucking wrong and fraudulent. The fact he wont reply is proving my case for me and I am simply just trying to create the awareness for people who were/are not familiar with what happened and to remind the people who are/were familiar with the situation. Yes I am beating a dead dog here, but it sure is worth it for me when that dog bit me first. And in case you are wondering...yes I will conftinue to beat this dog until its fully decayed.
