While I can understand why you are a little pissed, I do believe this is a private organization, expecting that they are going to open up the election of board members to the general public is a little over the top.
Have you tried buying clicks for those search terms?
If it is supposed to be representing our industry, it should be staffed by people in our industry that are ELECTED. Do you want your home owners association to be always controlled by the biggest bitch on the block?
Frankly I doubt that Joan or Gracie have anything to do with this. I've spent a good bit of time talking to Joan about many different things, and she's simply not the type of person to be a party to something like this. Nor does she manage ASACP in a manner consistent with this either.
Gary needs to step back, this is rather much, to say the least.
Originally posted by Yanks_Todd I agree, an industry watch dog should always be above politics if it is to be taken seriously. I think that is a major hurdle this biz needs to get over. Some voices need to be impartial and above politics and sponsorship dollars if we are going to ever be taken as a legitimate industry.

Joan is on a power trip from hell too, you should see the nice presentation Shannon gave her in APRIL at the Phoenix Forum. I think she just laughed and wiped her ass with it. Stall tactics are not professional either. How many people have been approved since April? none?
We should make our presentation public, and let ASACP explain why they have ignored us!

Again, if I am in a HOA, I am paying into that HOA.
Originally posted by WiredGuy This practice is rather unfair of sex.com to do. A search for "child porn" on sex.com gives as a result the ASACP. That's fair. But labelling searches such as "tawnee stone" or "lightspeed" into the same category as CP is totally uncalled for Gary.

That's just typical of the way Gary runs his biz...you won't ever catch me doing any biz with him EVER.
I may be here, I may be there; nobody knows, nobody cares!
I could somewhat understand this if it was being done to others with similar type sites, but searching for similar sites doesn't produce the same results.
I agree with the need for an orginization like this to fight CP, but doing crap like this??? Come on... are they fighting CP, or targeting people they don't like? How long will it be before their credibility is shot all to hell and the orginazaiton is seen as nothing more than worthless window dressing?

But, if you lived on that street and they refused to take your money to give you a voice about what goes on on that street, and continued to tell you your yard was always in need of repair, would you have a problem with that?
Originally posted by Lightspeed And it goes to a link for ASACP? What a CROCK OF SHIT!
Does anyone else think ASACP should be staffed by an elected committee? Industry politics within the current committee seems to be clouding their judgement and wasting their resources. Maybe they could focus on their real goal of removing CP from the net?
Has anyone else had enough of these assclowns running ASACP?
With all the hate and unethical moves (ie.. shouldn't they accept donations from anyone not agaisnt their cause?).. someone should organise one, voted by both industry and/or donating members, that would represent the adult industry better than a 3rd party who does only what they want, regardless of the industry needs.

I would.
I don't think that is possible, so I guess the HOA analogy is not a very good one.

i cant belong to ASACP because im an evil TGP guy.
although, our host (a leading ASACP member) gladly accepts our business...plus that of many other TGPs.. i don't get it...
gary is on the board of asacp, therefore it is one of his responsibilityes to know the proper way to treat cp sites, either your sites, are, or are not CP, if they are, then asacp needs to immediatly begin to report them, if they are not, then there is no reason to list asacp as the only search result
gary needs to pick a side, either ignorance, or accuracy and lightspeed needs to file with the ftc, accusations like this is not a game
The Federal Trade Commission Act allows the FTC to act in the interest of all consumers to prevent deceptive and unfair acts or practices. In interpreting Section 5 of the Act, the Commission has determined that a representation, omission or practice is deceptive if it is likely to:
mislead consumers and
affect consumers' behavior or decisions about the product or service.

Could it be that sex.com sells traffic, and competes with tgps for its income?
Okay, I have spoken with Joan about the TGP vs ASACP thing back when SleazyDream was having issues with them, and this is what I got from the discussion.
ASACP is still trying to gain the trust of people like the FBI so that when they report a site it is taken seriously. For this reason thay can not accept donations from just anyone, or let all comers become members because then they would have people that do have CP join up just so they could hide behind the ASACP banner.
Please don't read this to think that anyone in this thread is promoting CP, just giving you what I came away with from my personal discussions with her.
For the record, I stressed to her that there are TGPs that hand review every submission, and are paid spots only and that they should not be grouped in with every TGP that takes mass submits from anyone that submits a gallery to them.
I don't know what the gripe is ASACP has with Lightspeed, as we never discussed it.

haha, I'm positive we're just about to hear from Gary, and the "unfortunate programming mistake" that obviously listed Lightspeed incorrectly on sex.com
Sleazy was trying to get approved . he has posted about it before. but i havent heard offically that he is in the association..
geez, he even knows the handshake...

Gary doesn't like Steve... that's no secret. But it's unfair to suggest that ASACP itself is actually behind this. I agree it's a low-blow, but don't blame ASACP for Gary's choices... last time I noticed, nobody controlled Gary's business but Gary.
Originally posted by Dawgy everytime i report a site to asacp they write back & tell me its not cp
funny, i always thought a 10 year old boy getting fucked in the ass was cp
guess not
Normally it would be. However personal polaroids of your days as an altar boy are exempt.
I believe it can't be prosecuted as it falls under constitutional protection. Separation of church and state.
FOOTNOTE: I don't have any clue who dawgy is and this was not meant as a personal attack on him/her. But the door was just wide open, I could not resist walking through it.
BTW, I also believe the situation re: ASACP/LIGHTSPEED/SEX.COM is wrong. It is probably even actionable.
1) What is on the result set of http://www.sex.com has nothing to do with http://www.asacp.org. I am on the board because I care about prevention of the core issue of ASACP, child pornography and as I write the industry's biggest check to the organization. If you want to write a bigger check than I do, I will immediately resign and you can take my place.
2) Is someone does not like it and want to sue us if they feeling we are "defaming them," it is a free country. Our agent of process is http://kepler.ss.ca.gov/corpdata/Sho...=200033710058. All I can say is bring it on...
3) Our results have been the same for the questioned catagories for at least TWO YEARS. Is someone a little slow at the switch.
