All we are doing here is offering a very good deal to any mpa3 customer to compare NATS and mpa3. We are not bashing mpa3, just doing the usual thing everyone else would do, which is saying that we are better.
If anyone thinks this is unprofessional then I can not help them. I actually think its quite the opposite, offering people something for free to let them truely compare the products."Think about it a little more and you'll agree with me, because you're smart and I'm right."

When did competition in a free market become a bad thing?
I am friends with both parties, and when I say friends, I do not mean, have a drink at a show and call either stand up guys, which they are. Truth is, that they are both good companies, run by guys who are offering great products to our industry.
I got to sit in at NAT's update booth last show, and am impressed at updates that are done currently and in the near future. How does that make MPA3 better, and vice versa? If you can't figure out that competition in this particular segment of our industry only puts more money in your pockets, then maybe it's not for you.

2. The exit manager is awesome
3. Overall scalability.
Also, our VP of marketing says she prefers some of the different tools for tracking affiliates not the least of which is the ability to become the affiliate and see exactly what a given affiliate sees when they login. I know the Ad tools module was a big treat for our creative team...you upload a zip file and nats unpacks it and sorts the banners by sizes for the affiliates. There are a few others but those are what made us oooh and ahhh.Email: [email protected]

I'm not going to get involved with the drama aspect of this thread, besides saying that when two good companies with two good products fight for marketshare the consumers win. We will see better versions of NATS and MPA because of this little feud.
I've worked with both products. When it came time to put my reputation on one of the products I chose NATS.-165486536

On a personal level, I love the people in both companies.
I only have experience using NATS, and I'm a fan.
As far as competition goes, that is a tricky game to be critical of.

So it is truley the customer service aspect we recieve from you that is what keeps us as a client, ( and the product rocks too of course )
anybody that is talking bullshit about your service, is obviously not a client .Got any domains to sell?

Ok, I will try to be the grownup one here... Just one thing. We did NOT have a booth in Vegas, we did NOT go after anyone at the show. We had meetings all day everyday with different people who had contacted us to talk to us. So how in gods name could we go after anyone ? Its not like it say " I HAVE NATS " in peoples face.
But if it was so now that we had meetings with several NATS customers, doesn't that then tell you something about your product ?
You can try to do business in a normal way instead of trying to bash our company. Please tell me what false accusations I have ever said about you or your product to anyone. Now since you can not do that I suggest that you just try to concentrate on being the best you can be. I don't trash NATS OR go after your customers. If they come to me to get an offer I give it to them, BUT contacting them directly OR publicly, no I don't think so, I rather make a little less a month then being an ass.

It's been gone over 1000 times. I'm going to tell you the same thing I told you the last 1000 times you brought it up. It was sold. Those who bought it did very very shitty things with it and I wish we closed it rather than sell it but hindsight is always 20/20. I have never denied creating it, running it, or selling it. You keep bringing it back up. I guess you just can't understand the simple things I tell you when you do.Originally posted by AlienQComment

Thats the kind of thing I'm talking about. The personal insults and snide remarks. They've come faster and faster from you guys over the past few months. I'm tired of it. We've simply decided to show everyone our product is better by giving it to them if they have yours. I don't see where in our post we insulted you or anything. It's simply an offer. If they want to go for it they can, if they don't want to they can't. I don't see why you took such offense to it.Originally posted by garryComment

John, Garry,
you guys are both ok chaps Come one - we have all been on the net doing biz for years - we all know how the game is played. How many times in past years did I give away a higher % for toys, lower prices or give freebies away for design, etc. We are the best, blah, blah and all that just too try and take some market share away from other companies. Competition and biz promo is part of the game. Sometimes I admit I did go a little far and got into some pisses, well so be it...
Both of you have good products from what I have read.. Do a spec sheet, list all features of both pieces of software side by side, pro's and con's and let the webmaster / consumer pick what he or she likes.ICQ: 52344098

I have no idea what MPA was doing or saying in Vegas this year, but some of this rings a familiar bell.
A year ago when I was considering both products, John et. al were very upfront and helpful; Oystein talked trash about NATS and claimed things about it that just weren't true.
After that, when I was looking for a DRM solution, I looked at Playa DRM and saw who was involved with it and decided I didn't want to go there. Glad I made that decision.
Now I've been looking at members' area software. I like CARMA and probably am going with it, but I never even took a look at one other company's product.
Professionalism DOES go a long way. But there's a difference between aggressive marketing and shots at the competition on a board well-established for trash talking --- and honesty in actual one-on-one dealings.
I laugh at the first.
I make decisions based on the second.

I'm confused...Originally posted by garry
In your first post in this thread, you made these accusations:Originally posted by garry
1) "This is not like the first time you go after our customers. But its the first time you do it in public."
You accusing US of going after your customers behind your back in some evil manner.
2) "...on being the best you can be instead of trying to steal from others."
First of all, we are the best (Self confidence never hurt anyone). And then, here is you accusing us of stealing something from someone.
3) "Now its not with out reason people call tomuchmedia the Copy and Paste Company."
Yet another one of those subtle remarks you through towards us constantly and keep doing it more and more.
4) "As for Jason and Alex being the only once that have left you guys... OK If you say so..."
John never said that, he said they are the only ones that left us for MPA3. And that is 100% the truth. Again, some subtle hint towards us lieing about this stuff.
All John said in reply to all of that, that could be counted as an accusation, is that you went after some of our clients during vegas, which is the truth though, and you admited to that yourself in this thread.
Do I understand that correctly? When you meet with potential clients you do not care about their background? You do not check what they do before you talk to them? You do not care about what they use right now to see what you might need to sell them your products? Weird.Originally posted by garry
You are bashing your own company with the crap you post in here. I have not bashed you in any way in the offer we have given all your MPA3 clients. All we want to offer your clients is an easy way to compare NATS to your own product, are you scared of that somehow?Originally posted by garry"Think about it a little more and you'll agree with me, because you're smart and I'm right."

Garry, our post did not make any false claims about your software. It did not insult you. However you had to come into this thread and turn it into that direction. It's simply an offer to show everyone how the products compare. If you can't handle it, I'm sorry
But please don't start with the "immature" posts and what not.

You know todd, I have tried this in the past.Originally posted by sextoyking
On our old website, we had a list of NATS features from NATS v1. I emailed Oystein about that when I set it up, asked him to get me a complete list so I can put it in there and people can really compare it, I also told him he can use our list on their site if they want, as long as they keep it up to date as we would keep theirs.
He was not interested in it, I only see one reason why that would be the case..."Think about it a little more and you'll agree with me, because you're smart and I'm right."

I have no idea what your back round with John is, but mine go back to 98 when he would help a noob out in sextracker chat, and I never forgot.
The issue right now is NATS, not Pornograph, if Pornograph interests you, please start a new thread for him to comment in, as this thread has it's hands full already. Thanks.

Ya, would have been nice if you guys would have been like this when we tried to have NATS installed and running. What was it? 4-5 months and thousands spend and we never got the system working and it was for only one site? Sure you gave us back about half the cash we spent but that doesn't mean squat. Was a big waste of time. Even when we could get support to come and look at something they would fix it and never explain or tell us what the problem was, acted like we where bothing them. Sorry our program was small but if this is how your treating the little guys then I would n't want to do bussiness with you.
I know I have kept my mouth shut over this for a long time, but seeing you here touting how great you are while running down someone else really gets me. Let me tell you something. I own a product from Mansion, MAS. I have had it running for years with NO issues. The support has been nothing less than outstanding and they have even custom scripted the members area of the site and it worked the FIRST time.
I have ALL Icq logs, emails etc on this and you know I'm not making anything up here for false drama. In fact, we had such bad experiance trying to get your product installed that we have NOT moved fourth with ANY cascanding billing system. No one asked me to post here and this is all I have to say about it.Last edited by Gerco; 01-16-2006, 11:27 AM.Http://www.extremehole.com

Yes, we refunded you when we probably shouldn't have.Originally posted by Gerco
You can't run a program by doing something half assed then waiting 3 weeks and doing nothing and complaining. Then being retaught, helped again, then doing nothing and waiting 3 weeks and complaining again. And again and agan. This wasn't my own expereince but also the same exact thing Gonzo told me (he was working with you on that project). We did refund you quite a lot of the money we paid you even tho we felt we shoudln't as everytime you asked we attempted to help you.

1. Gonzo had the design done. Thats it. We wanted to put together a nice program together, but due to the Nats issues that didn't work out. As far as I know Gonzo never even did your training. I know he's happly running Nats now, and I wish him all the luck in his projects. He's a good guy and I won't sit hear and try to pass blame on him, he was not a part of the actual system.
2.I'm sure that I'm the only person that has had questions and problems in the beginning of learning a new script.
3. Ya, I was complaining, how long did we have that issue with the billing? how many emails where sent about it, 2 weeks worth, and it took him all of about 2 minutes to fix, course he NEVER told me what we had done wrong in the first place and acted like he was bothered to even talk to me. At that point, yes, I was a little pissed off. It was only after I threatened to just dump the whole project that I finally got and answer in the firstr place.
4. I'm not going to sit here and get into a pissing match with you over this. I took your training, installed your script and had it to the point where it was running in test mode with 3 proccessors, had it been for a little help with some simple finishing touches we would most likely be using it today. But as history shows this was not the case. I think you just had to many other programs being installed at one time to provide the type of support we should have gotten with a script of this size.
5. will I try again? Yes most likely, I never quit due to one failure. I will try with MP3.Http://www.extremehole.com

There was NEVER any back door in NATS to access anything.
My programs are less successful today then they were in the past as much of my time is taken up by NATS now. Again, I don't know how you would know my personal finances.
