Nobody saw a problem with it there.
And trust me, CCBill are reading these posts. I took a peek on who was looking at my gfy profile after making some criticisms about my signups dropping off.... and noticed James@ccbill checked out my profile. Which is fine, I don't really care. Im not trying to hide from anyone, even though this looks like a fake nic.
However my paysites still process through ccbill (LOL, fucking barely) the affiliate program is still with ccbill. I have been loyal to ccbill for it seems 15 years now (just a guess).
Ive watched this industry fall apart piece by fucking piece. Ive seen soo many people who have been revered and respected by many people, turn around and fuck those people in the ass. CCbill, imo was the last of the great unmolested institutions in this business.
Now, it looks like it may actually be time to close up shop and move on.
I refuse to be unethical, I refuse to fuck people over and lie to them.
I feel sorry for all the honest business people who gave everything they had and are now getting runover by crooks and thieves.
I went to the playboy mansion to a webmaster access show years ago, and adult friend finder was a sponsor. Lars was wearing a big white fur coat and driving a flat black old convertible, in truly pimpin style.
It was a sign of the times for me. At that moment, I started to see the unity and integrity of the business unravel.
Not that there wasn't always fucking weasels and trolls out there. But, this was a sign that unethical bullshit was finally accepted.
