2RussianMaster and other idealist people... please stop this thread, it just won't change anything and will prove nothing. The people who blame Russian webmasters are either dumb or just make money this way. It's their business and we shouldn't care about it. There're plenty other people we work and make money with, so why should we communicate with guys like 12clicks? Please don't tell me you want to advertise his program 'cause I will never believe.
As an owner of successful software development company I know American adult webmasters and especially American sponsors from the other side... the dark and sometimes ugly side.
American sponsors come to me asking for smart hardly detectable shaving software. They usually moan about poor profits and lick my ass begging for discounts. American webmasters ask for advanced hitbots, traffic stealing scripts and ActiveX shit. Quite a few proposed really ingenious ways to shave webmasters' revenue on 3rd party billings... yeah that is possible and some already do that.
I always tell such people to go fuck yourself. Of course I realize they easily find other willing programmers who develop these ugly scripts. But I prefer to live with clear conscience and not to confront with my ethics. Most Americans think I'm idiot for not taking their money... but I earn well enough money doing honest things, and I'm proud of that.
So whom do you call cheaters?
So are all Americans cheaters? Not at all. The same goes for Russians. Every nation consists of good and bad people. I hate racists. That's the real point.
