My latest attempt at submitting to the hun....

I know I know..."oh fuck, another 'hun' thread, jeez!"
Some things never seem to get boring though, and this topic is one of them.

On this lovely day of June the 4th, the hun did say to me:

Checking blacklist... Doesn't appear on the blacklist
loading http://amateur.elitecities.com/amateurhq/lisa/lisa.html ...done


Okay, great, so far so good. The new freehost I'm trying out is approved. Weeee

uh-oh, I don't like the look of this though...

Error: Advertising is getting more and more agressive every day. I don't think that's good. You're using a sponsor that is throwing people through a loop of pop-up consoles when they try to click out of a banner.

Actually, no, I'm not promoting any such sponsors like that on this gallery. However, the freehost is, in their header.

People will soon stop clicking banners completely when every time they click a banner they have to go through console-hell and back. There is a thread on the gofuckyourself.com's BBS discussing this matter in detail. I suggest you check it out. It's at http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/Forum1/HTML/002166.html.

Done! Great topic man, I hope you got and are enjoying a nice DVD player from the Lensmeister. Mr Hun, you need not explain your reasoning to me, I agree with much of what you have been saying over the last few years, and I can see the foresight and soundness of your reasoning.

There is a quick and easy solution. Many of these advertisers have half- or full page adds. Download those adds and put them on a server. From your gallery, don't link directly to the sponsor, but link to the full page ad on your server. That page of course shouldn't have any exit consoles or blind links. If people don't want it, they can click back. If people do want it they can click on. I'm still not happy with the loop of exit-consoles they end up in then, but at least users received more than enough warning they're entering a paysite.

Actually, this isn't a bad idea, except that in this particular case it's not me using those sponsors. WAAAAAA!!!

Some of these pop up consoles with blind dialer adds (thumbs that indicate there's movies, but that link to a 5+ dollar dialer). This also will not be accepted.

Again, I can see the need to say this for some that just don't seem to get it. I, however, am not one of them. I fucking hate dialers, I hate the whole concept of dialers. If there was a way to force idiot webmasters to use them less intrusively then I would tolerate them a little more, but when people are auto-downloading their dialer program to my desktop I take MAJOR issue.

The advertisers currently on the list are:
adultrevenueservice.com
fatpockets.com
join4free.com
pink4free.com

If you're in any way in contact with these sponsors please ask 'em to contact me to work on a possible solution. Thanks in advance!


Rrrred, you listening here? I can get around this problem, like the hun says, by setting up an FPA between my galleries and your program (join4free), but I hardly think the freehosts are going to do likewise.

The hun then spake thusly...

ps... Some people accused me of telling people what to do with this action.

Ya, some people are stupid too. Plain and simple. Hey, I make the policy decisions for all of MY sites, I see no reason why you shouldn't be doing the same for yours Mr Hun. I would expect no less from anyone that is successful. (at anything), I really don't see why anyone is challenging this. It's the "my site is MY site" rule, so what's the problem?

Let me assure you that I do not try to tell anybody how to run their business. I only decide what happens on my end. I get many submission. Too many to list. So I list the ones that best fit the profile I'm looking for in a gallery. At the moment that means I can decline galleries with advertisers that in my eyes are the cause of the dropping of signups. The adult Internet is getting a bad name with this agressive advertising. I want to make sure not to be part of that.

Well, I hope some of those sponsors will try and work with you (and by proxy, also the thousands of webmasters like myself that like to submit to you in hopes of sending signups to those sponsors) and get this straigtened out soon. What the hell can I do in the meantime? Should I contact that freehost I just joined and see if they're interested in setting up some FPA's for their sponsors?? Think they'll go for it?
Am I going mental?
Probably so...all in a day's work.
