I'm not sure I really understand this. The news is out the sextracker has their hands in SPYWARE. Here is what I don't understand.

1. Why this isn't a bigger subject on GFY. There was one post and it died out. On some other boards it's huge news.

2. Why all of the Sextracker top 100 still have their counters up. Are you guys that much in need of an ego stroke? You've just been told that your counter is most likely being used to hit up your surfers with spyware. Are you guys going to sit back and send the message that this is ok?

I really don't get it. I know the whole industry has nothing but great things to say about Bode. That's definitely besides the point. There seems to be little doubt that Sextracker/FlyingCroc is actually doing this. Am I missing something? Why are people still flying the Sextracker counters? If a NEW sponsor loaded up spyware on their hosted galleries they'd be ousted in a second. Why are we as an industry allowing Sextracker to get away with this? This seems like absolute bullshit to me.
