Good reply after the fact. Doubt anyone actually buys all that BS though as it's clearly just a cover attempt.
Doesn't matter. The deed is done the money is in your hands and everyone is still posting on GFY. Crisis averted (like there would ever be one anyway) so no worries Eric all is well.
I don't post here very much, but I have to say this:
Ice, you are full of shit. This is nothing but massive back peddling on a scale never seen before. GFY thought they could run the skin like every other skin they ran, take the dump truck full of money, and call it a day.
You got caught, people are leaving this shithole like crazy, and now you suddenly re-write the back story to try to sound good?
This reminds me of way back when I'd break things and get into all kinds of trouble for having everything I wasn't supposed to. My grandmother, she'd tell me, I was going to buy this or that for you until you did that... I never knew when it was true, or not true, and some of the time it may have been true,
But my paranoid little ass NEVER believed her.
You've put yourself in a bad position, or maybe a good one, hell you might have a howard stern thing going, you know, popular by love or hate either one is worth money.. both are worth more.. right..
This is the most interesting thing I've seen on the internet in a long long time.
Aiding and Abetting/Accessory
A criminal charge of aiding and abetting or accessory can usually be brought against anyone who helps in the commission of a crime, though legal distinctions vary by state. A person charged with aiding and abetting or accessory is usually not present when the crime itself is committed, but he or she has knowledge of the crime before or after the fact, and may assist in its commission through advice, actions, or financial support. Depending on the degree of involvement, the offender's participation in the crime may rise to the level of conspiracy.
For example, Andy draws a floor plan of a bank, knowing of Dan's intention to rob it. After Dan commits the robbery, Alice agrees to let him store the stolen money at her house. Both Andy and Alice can be charged with aiding and abetting, or acting as accessories to the robbery.
So you wanted everybody freaking out knowing that a lot of people would over it? gfy labrats kinda? You watched alot of honest and good posters walk because of it and that's what you wanted? Not very nice and I think it back fired bigtime. Just my not that it matters. Im gonna go eat some muffins now.
GFY did not take the TRAFFIC JUNKY skin lightly, it was thought about long and hard. In the end we took a skin from a traffic brokering company. Where their traffic is developed and who their clients are did make this decision quite a bit more difficult for us. In the end our decision came down to a couple of simple FACTS!
Question: Would we profit from this or could we do something for the greater good by taking this skin?
Answer: YES, 100% for the greater good! Our intention was to turn around and take all proceeds that would normally benefit GFY and immediately use them to battle true content theft in as many levels as possible. Additionally, we felt that this was a great opportunity to allow the community to gain awareness and participate in healthy debate. Leaving the choice of support up to the community and not us.
Some individuals decided that they would take that debate beyond healthy, that was their choice. I don't blame them because this is an issue that is a very hot button for almost everyone, no matter what side of the fence you sit on.
All users banned this past week for posting links to other forums have been given a complete pardon and been unbanned. If I missed unbanning you please email myself or ICE and we will take care of it. If you were banned for another reason, that reason stands.
Putting this skin in front of all of you gave you, THE COMMUNITY, the opportunity to decide who and how you want to run your business. That is not for us to say. The community as a whole picks and chooses who survives and how the dollars we generate should be spent and who they should support. I would never tell anyone that they are forced to do this or that with their business.
Lastly, I want to give a huge SHOUT OUT to ICE, he is not a decision maker when it comes to these types of things. This week he took a lot of heat from many, in my eyes he handled it with flying colors and his efforts have not gone un-noticed.
Biggest buch of bullshit I have read in years
...this is what you came up with to try and save face?
You have got to be kidding me?
what a joke of a response, couldn't you have come up with a better story than that..honestly you would have been better off keeping your mouth shut!
You think people were pissed off before?..just wait till this hit the fan...
An apology would have earned a lot more respect than blatant spin-doctoring. Even an honest, "times are tough, we take what we can get", would have earned more respect.
So you put up the skin to create debate and took the money to fight thieves. Umm yeah, ok.
tube sites should be like our http://www.iTeenVideo.com - only copyrighted content
or it should have only real home made content from all over the net. But it should not steal content and make everybody think like users posted it
Actually if you really think about it was a great marketing for GFY. Look at how many boards was talking about GFY.
The bottom line is money and GFY has always been that way. Just take a look at past history with threads getting deleted that involved some big names in the industry that had their hands in the cookie jar. Still this companies are allowed to run their ads and contest threads.

It's not about banning. it's about GFY ex skin and illegal tube advertising. Hypothetically you could sell spot to everyone, even to zoo sex providers? that's really bad. GFY team don't respect legal webmasters who working really hard to make some cash in this industry.
On the flip side, why would anybody bitch about a for-profit business going after profits? This tends to be an industry where people only take a moral stance when they're not the one making the money.
I'd be curious how many of the people that bitched would turn down a premium pre-paid ad spot from Tube 8. I bet they wouldn't and would justify it to themselves by saying "eh, the surfers already know about this site, I'm not pointing them to anything they don't already know about, so I'll take the money."
Bye!
I don't get why people complain when others are trying to make money in a legit way (selling ads/skin)
My sig is purchased until the end of this year...on this board and every board I post on. I choose NOT to run a program or open a solo site, just doesn't fit with my lifestyle and to be honest.. i'm getting too old to get into that bullshit anyways.
There you go... now I gotta run.. be back later tonight... my manager at McDonalds phoned me up and asked me if I could start early tonight, and since the tubes took all my sales away, I got to work some overtime this week to make up for it.
Nice.. when I build more teen sites maybe we can trade.

Yeah.. my manager at Wendys is a real bitch. She'll dock my pay if I'm late. I gotta go steal some cases of burgers from McDonalds before going to work. We're giving burgers away free, and selling some little toys and DVDs - we think it's a great business model.
You guys caught a lot of heat from people who contribute to what they rally against albeit unknowingly at best. You can't please everyone 100% of the time, plus were they rushing to give you 25k to prove their point? AND free traffic? Doubt it.
In the adult industry if you deny doing anything wrong you are in the clear. As long as you never admit to being wrong it's all good. You are a bro.
If you stand up like a man. Acknowledge and admit to what you did and try to do things to either fix it or move forward you are condemned til the end of your days.
Now that is the fucking truth!!
