4. THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT (and why I didn't hold him to it):
blah blah blah
I felt bad. I didn't want to come out and tell the guy that his designs sucked because I hate hurting anyone's feelings.
Okay, this part made me laugh! I hate to break it to you big guy, but you're a dick to most people at the drop of a hat. If nothing else you've said is a lie, this certainly is.
...
Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
So then why did you mislead others by saying how great his designs converted?
I just triple whatever the sponsor says their sites convert at
SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.
You both say you tried to solve this.... but so far i'm not seeing it.
Wouldn't it be better to just pay Fletch the originally-agreed-upon price for the work and be done with it?
This is why I never go in for any kinds of these little "partnerships" and such. I'm a one-man act here, and when I DO do work for someone else the work gets done and the payment gets made... clean and simple.
But I know that you two are capeable of working something like this out over the phone.... in private. I know it.
All I asked was that if he use my banners to send traffic to his tour he should just pay me and I would be cool. He agreed to that. Or he could link my tour instead and send the traffic using my promo to my tour. Or he could change the freesites he had done and that would work too.
I offered him 3 options.
I dont care. He said he would pay me, then he started making up shit.
I am the one getting fucked. Why do i have to keep bending over?
He agreed to pay me, now he is in here saying I owe him.
Who is sending 22k of traffic so far this month to your bad tour Fletch, if you aren't? What a moron! Donny why haven't you asked them to move the traffic to a new tour? That would make much more sense.

the guy wont remove the banners because I designed every banner he uses. he has no banners for his sites exc ept the ones I made. WHich means his affiliates are all using my banners. They are the only ones he offers to use.
So im supoposed to just sit back?
Not only that I designed his affiliate program. I designed his sites.
He came to me because I convert, now he is on here stealing my designs and saying I dont convert.

This is the only tour fletch has created and the only one in which he has a 50/50 stake.

See my point?
You designed one TOUR, for which you were PAID. You designed DonnyMoney.com, for which you were PAID.
I'm going to have DonnysMoney.com redesigned soon, most likely. Time for a change.
Yeah I'd like to know this also, appears he was just kissing Fletch's ass in hopes that he wouldn't get upset.
AS I SAID... the first day it did well. After that it went to complete shit. I made the post right after the site launched.
Later, to show goodwill towards Fletch, I gave good recommendations. That was wrong of me. But what should I have done? Should I have dogged him? The overall numbers wouldn't have been revealed if he hadn't brought this to the boards.
you bragged about it in your Ambush Interview. you like bragging about how much you lie.
well, no doubt.
you are a fuckinjg liar, you lie to your wife, you lie to your kid, and you damn sure lie to me.
Yes, I did lie to my wife when I was married so long ago. I told her I had a computer consulting business when I was actually doing porn. I admitted it, not bragged about it.
Why not just pay the money and get this over with.. Fletch did the work and to me it really doesn't matter if it made you any money or not.. he should be payed for it.. on principle..

But just know that I don't really agree with the idea that one can refrain from paying for design work based on the ongoing performance or "productivity" of the design. In my mind work is work and must be paid for. Unless you have it in a contract that the designs will be tested before payment will be sent..... but as a designer I would never agree to something like that.
In my opinion, you pay for the design.... then if it doesn't perform up to par the designer should be willing to do the odd tweak here or there (within reason) to make improvements.
Very little room for public displays of rejection when you do that.
I will also encourage people not to use Donnys program as he has been SHOWN to lie about conversions, and make up numbers to gain affiliates. I think his record speaks more than anything I could say.
His emails say he will pay me, and then he changes his mind.
I have done nothing wrong, other than provide high quality graphics, promo material and much more on good faith that that it would be used to make me long term money.
Now, that deal is gone, and DOnny is here saying I do not convert, and changing his opinion os how my tour converted, and claiming I owe him for work I did in good faith.
He took my banners and they are available tyo all his affiliates which was not part of our deal. They are being used in hosted materials promoting his new blog. I have nothing to do with this blog.
My materials should have only been used to push my tour.
Honestly, I wouldnt have given him shit if a few affiliates did this, (as noted in my emails I state that) but he isnt even sending to my tour, simply to his blog.
Has he had any banners made for his blog? NO. He cant afford to! He is simply using my promo to push his blog.
read between the lines people.
I am just a guy providing graphics on a percentage base, how am i fucking ANYONE?
Anyway, I just had to speak my mind and let others know that even after a year or so, this guy is still pulling shit with me regarding design.
He did NOT pay for the promo, and it was never part of the deal. He has nothing in writing, he simply makes it up as he goes.
Again, im working on percentage, i cant do anything wrong.
i don't know you and I have no problem with you, but I disagree with your position..
I only know the local copyright laws where I am at, but your position would not hold up here.. if you don't have a contract saying that you are entitled to use the work then you best pay up..
saying that you forgive him 67$ is just a run around.. imo.. come on.. it's 500$.. protect your rep.. that must be worth more than 500 bucks..
His emails say he will pay me, and then he changes his mind.
No, my emails said I'd pay you, then you threw out a number I didn't think you deserved, then you blew up when I told you so and took it to the boards.
I was being generous. In reality you actually owe me $67.
You are posting icq and emails (very unprofetional)
You're words aiin't worth shit
You aiin't got enough money to pay fletch 500 bucks to get out of this drama (500 $ or a drama thread that will make look bad ... hrmm... that's not a thought choice)
You are still using promo material he made for this tour.
You aren't happy that somebody cut you a deal on a 500 bucks tour ... what the hell ? He gave you a good deal on a tour, you said on DMPM it converted well before and now it sucks ? You are using your promo material without giving him a cent ?
If you plan to use it anywhere else then agreed, you should pay him fullprice.
Why not just pay the money and get this over with.. Fletch did the work and to me it really doesn't matter if it made you any money or not.. he should be payed for it.. on principle..
Did you miss post #103? Read it again. He was paid more than he asked for...

Okay. No problem. He can refund the $582.36 he owes me for not holding up his side of the deal. Money he was paid even though he didn't do what we agreed he'd do to earn it.

I'm not really in the position to take sides here, just enjoying the fireworks but wasnt there a post on pg 2 that quotes you as saying its been converting at 1:162 (or something) over 3 days. Somebody brought this up and you keep responding with "it did well the first day, then shit" Did somebody make up that quote about the three days or did u say that? and if you did say that? you're either lying to the affiliates then or us now or am i missing something? uhhh...

If a tour does well on the first day and then the next two days suck, is it possible to still convert at an AVERAGE of 1:162 over those three days?
