You're kidding right? do they mean porn, or anything adult?

**Sinicle77** · 03-08-2004, 04:29 PM

no.. im not kidding. I just sold my site (pleasuregirls) and when i canceled my account with linkpoint they told me it was only a short matter of time before i would have been dropped anyway. they are in the process as we speak err type

I think they are not accepting new adult applications.

**Sinicle77** · 03-08-2004, 04:32 PM

**Glass Fantasy** · 03-08-2004, 04:33 PM

**detoxed** · 03-08-2004, 04:36 PM

someday a few of the big players will smell the coffee and start up a NON visa and NON m/c form of payment card...

the demand will not go away, how you process it will and should based on the recent processing issues....

if you told a surfer with a hard dick he had to stand on his left foot, rub his belly & cough, he'd do it....sure it would suck during the transition, but I'd think it wiser to deal with a self-inflicted pre-emptive inconvenience than legs being cut off at the knees later by a 3rd party ....wooops too late

tradepornforchickens.com is soon to become reality

they are not going to be cancelling anything. nothing to worry about. all you have to do is call them before you post this stuff! It took me under 1 minute to find out the truth.

**Sinicle77** · 03-08-2004, 04:40 PM

its visa and mastercard that are causing this to happen.. if u remember about 8 months ago.. authorize.net stopped handeling anything adult related.. i know this because i used them for 5 years.. then..i was forced to switch to linkpoint.. and now...they are going the same way...

visa and mastercard just dont like to get off... cant buy drugs with my visa .. pretty soon we wont be able to buy pussy either sheeesh...

**Glass Fantasy** · 03-08-2004, 04:41 PM

actually, they said they were not accepting 'certain' adult sites. He assured me they were not terminating everything. I don't doubt what you say is true. What kind of site are you talking about?

damn Sinicle77, that's shitty.

I'm in the ok, but most adult sites are of the description you mentioned. Where are you going to go?

**NETbilling** · 03-08-2004, 04:53 PM
