ice making excuses

Really?

eh, like what kind of excuses?
following the rules, well besides the one rule but you know what I mean.

I'd ask for a link but...well, you know.

The ivory towers appear to be crumbling.

Don't even think about it!

Playboy is gonna be sold.


GFY is gonna be left twirling in the wind.

As I posted on the other board....


I make no apology for doing my job.

If rules are broken, they get banned. It's no different here.


Please tell me how I'm making excuses.

you are defending you actions on another board, thats like making excuses

Dammit, ICE, we can't do that for you too!

I am not defending anything, I'm stating fact.

There are rules on the other board just like there are rules here. Don't follow them and you are banned.

If you think I'm making excuses... go break the rules on the other board and see if you are banned. Then ask them if they were making excuses for banning you.

I feel like I've heard that excuse somewhere before...



How about creating a hahahahah (word banned) for the sites your company is so feverishly afraid will take your Members away?

No, instead GFY chases their Members away.

Good strategy.

No wonder your parent company's stock is in the toilet, and you have to take ad sales from people whom many say support content theft.

I think most of the people aren't pissed as much about the recent bannings as they are pissed about the same thing those board suiciders were pissed about - GFY/Playboy actively promoting the largest pirates in the adult industry, who are probably taking a lot more from GFY/Playboy in your own lost business due to their sites with tons of free unlicensed full scenes than they are actually paying you guys for skinning this board and the sticky thread. The reason people are pissed is because it's EVERYONE they're taking business from through their nefarious means. They can say all day long that they run a legitimate business, that "omg we have no control over what our 'users' upload", etc., but OJ can say all day long he didn't kill Nicole and it doesn't change the truth.

I think what's probably been more enraging to people is that despite dozens of angry threads on this asking why the heck GFY would take a skin deal like this, absolutely no response from GFY/Playboy on the matter. I think people feel they're owed an explanation, especially if they've been members here for several years and helped this place grow and thrive as a strong adult webmaster community by their continual activity and discussion here.

But hey, I've only been here less than 3 years and am not even in adult, so what do I know? Don't listen to me...I'm a relative nobody here merely guessing this is what's on people's minds...perhaps some other people can either confirm this or say nope, that they are only just pissed at the bannings for some reason even though you're perfectly correct that the rules are crystal clear and must be followed. I myself personally don't care but as you've seen over the past 24 hours, a lot of people have a strong root here and were really hurt the moment they saw this skin, which I'm sure they never expected to ever see coming here. I DO care that tubes are fucking up this industry because I've sold over $100k in adult domains here and lack of successful adult webmasters means less business for me, and it seems ridiculous that the cause of it is pirates who are not only in plain sight doing it but more actively spotlighting themselves than any legitimate site out there now. I just don't care about GFY's ethics because business is business...if Playboy thought it was a good idea and/or needed the money, sobeit...it's your decision, and likewise your consequences to deal with afterwards.

Good post!

Doesn't that petty shit seem, well, petty? When you consider what your employer is doing right now it sure does. How about you and your fellow admin(s) just take it with a grain of salt. Real webmasters are fleeing en masse to forums that don't support thieves. Editing posts and banning offenders doesn't keep anyone from finding out about other forums. It just makes Playboy/GFY look like a bunch of petty, thieving crybabies.

I have admin for a big sex forum site, and I don't ask questions I just delete the user account. None of this temporary ban shit.

wich one is that?

How does doing what you're paid for translate into making excuses?

Those people posted links to other forums knowing it would get them banned. It's not like Ice needs to make an excuse after the fact... the reason was pretty obvious to begin with.
