Man I feel like I have been on a roller coaster!

I'm ready for a drink now.


:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh


Calling me a cunt on GFY doesn't bother me on bit but if you call me a cunt to my face more than likely you will get punched.

Cliff notes or fuck it.

I sent someone your way as a result of all this. It could have been someone pulling my leg, so who knows if it work in your favor :winkwink:

Email me to check if it made me pesos so i could give you kudos if it worked when you need design done.

No worries man. You've done right by me more than once. If she follows through, cool for you.

Bueno. Cheers everyone, have a good weekend!

Why's everyone friends with this cunt now? hypcrites :321GFY

:glugglug

Sometimes it's just easier to be nice. :winkwink:

Especially when you've made your point and it has been recognized.

it's all good just would like an explanation about the stolen content , or see that she knoes shes wrong about stealing nintendos trademarked content and put this in the past and have this thread closed :2 cents:

What about females that do have a cock? :1orglaugh

http://a2.img.mobypicture.com/1a5ed2...a4f16_view.jpg

I see some of these ladies and often have to think twice. :1orglaugh

Please tell me I'm not the only one who sees the irony in the above exchange. Or maybe I just missed the post where someone made the query about Barefootsies' overhead. It is a 5 page thread and all.

First of all, the standard GFY 'I do this full time which means that I'm undoubtedly better than you!' insult is predicated on a way of thinking which should be viewed as archaic and regressive. This is something you obviously know to be true because I've seen what seems like at least a handful of your posts in which you stated that a willingness to diversify has been a major key to your success. Or is it just that there's a limit as to how much one should diversify their efforts? If that's the case, what's the limit?

And how does one definitively assess what is or isn't in the industry? I'm really curious about a couple things. Maybe you can enlighten me.

For one thing I'm doing, I just secured a sponsorship deal with PicoBong, a new line by Lelo. Take a look at the website.

http://www.picobong.com/en/index.php

The site doesn't exactly scream 'adult industry' and they don't necessarily want to be associated with porn but at the end of the day the products are still sex toys. So tell me, should the work done in securing the sponsorship be considered as 'industry' work ? Or is it 'non-industry' work thereby making me a big fucking 'industry part-timer' loser?

The other thing I'm curious about has to do with the work that I'll potentially be doing with a 'mainstream' dating company who I'm scheduled to meet with on Monday. You see, back in January I conceptualized a media strategy which I thought would be perfect for dating sites. The thing about the strategy, though, is that it will be targeting a finite market. After looking at ALL 'adult industry' dating programs, I quickly and easily determined that they ALL sucked ass. Every single fucking one of them. Populating a dating site with a bunch of fake profiles and switching up the tour every now and then may be successful when you're throwing massive volumes of recycled crap tube traffic at it on a daily basis, but if I were to use any of those sites with what I'm planning to do they would likely only be successful at alienating the target and watering down the effectiveness of the medium.

Sure I'd probably make some good PPS money for a bit but it would not be a sustainable income and, by and large, I feel that those who make their living by churning out a bunch of fake dating sites packed with pre-checked cross sells are fucking scumbags. So I decided that, even at the risk of having someone come in and successfully execute a similar plan before I had chance to actualize my version, I'd rather wait to find a decent partner than to have a single one of those cunt monkeys make so much as a fucking dime from my efforts. Even if it means I make nothing. So tell me, have I failed the industry by 'straying' or have 'industry' dating sites failed me and all of us by sucking so hard for so long?

And should we even consider the likelihood that people using mainstream dating sites with real people will 100% definitely have more sex than those who use 'adult' dating sites with fake people? Doesn't that make mainstream dating sites more adult than adult dating sites?

Thankfully I don't view the world through an 'Is it adult or is it mainstream?' prism, so I don't have to waste time thinking about shit like that even though doing so seems to be quite popular.

How much do you make from your sig per month? I don't post nearly as much as you or as much some of the other glorified trolls, but I know that I haven't made very much at all from my sig. Maybe it's because I've been doing it wrong. Maybe calling a cunt a cunt is anathema to sales. Or maybe it's just that the price points for the things I've had there have been too high. Maybe what you and scumbag bro types like DaLord say about the typical GFY posters is true and that the majority are poor as fuck. If that's the case, wouldn't a discount strategy be the way to go? Maybe something like .50ct iPhone apps? Or were you just trying to flex nuts again?

You do come across as being more intelligent than the average poster and if we are to believe what you repeatedly say in one nauseating post after another about your earning power, you're definitely more successful than the average poster. And you did give that money to the charity that one time so, as opposed to the dalords and 12clicks of the industry, there is a chance that you're actually a decent human. A successful, intelligent, decent human! Imagine that. So maybe now it's just time for you start acting the part.

I see where you're coming from and do agree to an extent but if every word in one's vocabulary functions as a separate unique tool, how is not better to have more tools in the toolbox? Barefootsies and people who like to make fun of Barefootsies often use the word 'toots'. It was probably an effective tool at some point but now it's just an overused, ineffective pseudo-slur with only a fraction the potential of a well-timed slur. Here are exhibits A & B on the power of using 'cunt' and 'faggot'.





I think it goes without saying that I'll take one well timed faggot over fifty lazy tootses every single time. lol

Oh, and here's exhibit C

Excerpt from an affiliate application page...

It’s common for affiliates to use language that is demeaning to women in an effort to make sales, but XX is quite particular in the language we allow to be used in association with us. Affiliates must present models respectfully with all written material, including the domain name itself.
The context in which XX material is promoted (see below for specifics) is just as important as the actual pages affiliates make, and will be taken into account.
Unacceptable words include (but are not limited to) “cunt”, “bitch”, “slut”, or “whore”. Other violent or demeaning language is not acceptable. Language that implies or infers models may be under 18 are not acceptable. If unsure, review the ASACP page of unacceptable terms.
Language exhorting users to participate is not acceptable (eg, “cum and fill her holes”), as is language that infers a personal relationship (eg, “here’s a pic I took of my girlfriend”), or language that is obviously untrue (eg, “I saw these two babes getting it on, and filmed them too!”).
Swear words may be acceptable (eg, “Fuck, check her out!”), but are not encouraged. Like so many things, use of swear words depends on the context: “fuckable babe” is not acceptable, nor is “I’d fuck her!”.

My response when applying…

I never use the word 'cunt' when referring to models, but I do frequently use the term when referring to someone who either pisses me off or has engaged in some type of behavior that I deem to be unacceptable. I also feel that, when used properly, it can be used humorously. IE, by casually reminding surfers of the fact that nobody likes a cheap cunt before ending with a smiley to make it seem like I'm joking when I'm really not. I'm also in the process of completing a webmaster resources page which will have a 'Do Not Promote These Sponsors' section. I'll more than likely use the 'C' word quite a few times in that section.

For the most part, I'm very respectful when referring to models. At least much more so than what is typical of similar sites even though I sometimes feel that doing so puts me at a competitive disadvantage. While I do somewhat frequently use 'fucking' as an adverb, the only time I ever use 'it as a verb is when referring to anal sex, i.e. 'fucked up the ass'. I guess that's just kind of like my thing but it's not the primary focus of any of my sites and will never be used in blog posts. Just the occasional gallery or page.

wow, that affiliate application page thought of everything eh?

Upon reflection, it's just not a word I like to hear over and over again in a hostile way, while it doesn't bother me to hear friends (usually Brits or Aussies) using it casually to refer to each other, etc... So with Curb Your Enthusiasm it doesn't bother me. Brb, getting my No Doubt CD.

Do not get ahead of yourself chief. I am a fair guy, but I am an asshole to those who really deserve no respect from me for whatever different reasons. Depending on who's in the thread, and who I am addressing, I can be lighthearted, sarcastic, or serious in a discussion if it interests me. But I can also be an asshole, typically to those who deserve it. Most do not know all of this history between myself and those individuals, nor do they need to. However, those I am typically rude too have more than earned it.

That being said, this thread should be locked per fris's request as everyone has admitted they were right or wrong, hugged it out, and gotten it out of their system apparently. As for your other questions about sigs and diversity, you really need to either start another thread about those topics where people can share their stories, or bump one of those preexisting threads and ask a question in there.

This thread has run it's course, and frankly I do not see a reason for it to remain unlocked, or bouncing on the front page any longer. It's had it's run. Everyone is pals now. Thank you for the kudos all the same.

:2 cents:

lol. That's only a small portion of what's on their application. And then once you get approved, you have to sign a 17 page agreement. When it comes to protecting their brand, they leave no stone left unturned. It's brilliant.

My problem isn't with you being an asshole. I don't even think you're good at being an asshole. As I said, I generally get the impression that you're a good guy. My problem is with the things you choose to criticize when attempting to be an asshole. Not only because they're predicated on poor logic but because they're petty.

And no I'm not going to start another thread about anything. Have you lost your mind? The last thing I need is a stupid thread to babysit. lol But if you want to answer the question in another thread, by all means go ahead and start a new thread. Then send me an email to let me know where it is so I can check it. Just know that had you not called someone out here in this thread because of the fact that they sell .50ct apps in their sig then I would not have mentioned it here in this thread. It would have been the furthest thing from my mind.

Fair enough kind sire. My best wishes to you on your business model, and continued diversity for adult online 2012.

:pimp

What happened to the legitimate people that contributed to this forum? No more troll killers? Look who's posting these days...

CandyFlip? ShoeBox? HomeFry ? Are you kidding me?

Irrelevant Trolls.

Gimme-Website called Fris out based on the ethics of the people on this forum. She was 100 percent right in doing so. Fris is taking advantage of a loop-hole to profit from other people's work.

Taking something that someone sells and giving it away for free or at a lower price is NOT OK here.

Fris has admitted that the people who create the content he is selling/giving away with his services DO NOT want him doing so.

Fris has been posting other people's Wordpress work and indirectly taking credit for it for years.

But everyone is cool and "appreciates" it because he's helping them out. :thumbsup

Anyone supporting Fris while working in adult is a hypocrite.

Why has this been completely blown out?

Trolls, Fake Nicks, Envious Competition, Women Haters, etc...

You also have morons like VDBucks who are only reading what the trolls are posting and not following both sides of the drama. Completely clueless.

What's ironic is the trolls are now trying to call Gimme-Website a "thief" for "stealing" a 8bit graphic of Green Mushroom but what Fris is doing is A-OK. :thumbsup Not the same at all.

Talk about hidden agendas.

Gimme-Website you acted completely reasonable while being harassed and attacked by idiots. Unfortunately this is the internet and idiots are trolls and trolls must be completely ignored. It's a personality defect to either be a troll or respond to trolls. It's hard to overcome but it is possible.

Why is it always the designers? Competition and they tend to be attention whores.

I'd like to respond to every bullshit comment made towards Gimme-Website in the last week but i'll leave it at that.

Congrats to the winnnarrs. :1orglaugh

Says the troll with 8 posts :1orglaugh

Dont know her but it seems that she is a person who goes all in 100% in whatever she does by reading this poll and checking her stuff! :)
I think I like it! :D

Why you mad bro?

You start this thread implying that GW will lose business.

Do you have any to begin with? :1orglaugh

You sound sexually frustrated go jerk off to some porn surfer. :2 cents:

Lets put it into something Porners can understand.

A guy steals your content and hosts it on a server in Romania. You freak out and demand he removes the videos and send him DMCA notices. He says "Nope, American DMCA does not apply to me." Meanwhile majority of his surfers are your possible American customers.

:)

Dude , the GPL explicitly allows you give away or resell GPL Licensed software. It also allows you to modify it then give it away or resell it. It's not even a grey area, it's explicitly stated in the license.

The real issue is that some developers license their commercial software using the GPL and then cry when people exercise their rights under the license.

Dont take my word for it, it's all explained here http://www.gnu.org/licenses/quick-guide-gplv3.html

You really should read up before you continue to make incorrect statements, you simply look foolish and uninformed.

"Developers who write software can release it under the terms of the GNU GPL. When they do, it will be free software and stay free software, no matter who changes or distributes the program. We call this copyleft: the software is copyrighted, but instead of using those rights to restrict users like proprietary software does, we use them to ensure that every user has freedom."

Hi Gimme-Website. Go fuck off now. You are still wrong. Oh, did you ever answer the question about stealing content and putting it on your client websites? No, I don't think you did. So, what's it gonna be? Are you going to admit it or not?

Oh, and it is actually WORSE! GPL may be a little fuzzy on the law regarding it. Copyright Infringement is not. It's very clear cut. Go learn dipshit.

Fris put himself at risk. YOU put your client at risk.

These forums attract a certain type of troll like "Shoebox" that thinks the adult industry is cool and wants to hang out and be a part of it.

He has no real business interest, his only way to get attention is by being a troll on an adult related forum.

It makes him feel important that he can go and tell his buddies about all the inside info he learns and the new sites he hears about.. He may even tell people he "Works in adult."

Unfortunately his envy, jealousy and negativity will forever keep him from doing anything productive in life let alone in a gold mine like Adult.

1 month old nickname talks like he's been here for years. Likely been trolled off the site and banned before. Not even welcome here as himself.

Sad....

How old are you Shoebox? older than 30? Not a good look bro. :1orglaugh

That's Gimme-Website. She thinks she can remedy all of her woes by pretending to be someone else now.

What are your sites or profession?

Why are you even allowed here? Relax the name calling you just come off as immature and mad.

GimmeWebsite made this troll account a year ago in preparation for this thread. Not only is GimmeWebsite a good designer, she's psychic! :1orglaugh

LOL @ you talking about copywrite infringement, you are clueless.

The amount of risk for Fris' clients is much greater it also involves more clients.

Are you just jealous of GimmeWebsite and you are desperate for any chance to attack her? Because you fools are reaching hard with this one.

I can't recall if it was you or Shoebox that claimed to be a designer. :1orglaugh

You and a few other fake nicks have spent a week raging on this girl for no reason at all. Other members have raged and insulted her based on incorrect assumptions and misunderstanding of the situation.

I'll be sure to send her work. I'm sure it will be more $$$ than you or anyone else could ever hope she'd lose from this fail trolling. :1orglaugh

That information is not relevant to you, troll.

:1orglaugh

See? When you act like an idiot you can't go asking people for info like that. That type of information is reserved for respectable members of this community.

This drama is way too involved and there's no payoff.
You manginas should be watching daytime television reruns.

You're as bad as Gimme Website is.

Copying and distributing GPL licensed software is NOT COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.

Go and read about it from the horses mouth, the GNU/GPL license site rather than crap on with your lies.

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/quick-guide-gplv3.html

"Under the GPL you have

the freedom to use the software for any purpose,
the freedom to change the software to suit your needs,
the freedom to share the software with your friends and neighbors, and
the freedom to share the changes you make. "


"Developers who write software can release it under the terms of the GNU GPL. When they do, it will be free software and stay free software, no matter who changes or distributes the program. We call this copyleft: the software is copyrighted, but instead of using those rights to restrict users like proprietary software does, we use them to ensure that every user has freedom."

That's all fine and dandy with the GPL, but that's not the point.

The people who CREATED what Fris is giving away or selling say "We do not want you giving away or re-selling our content."

Fris is taking advantage of a legal loop-hole while costing businesses real clients and real sales.

Gimme-Website is perfectly inline with the ethics of this community. Gimme-Website was completely in the right to call him out.

You can take a swim in the lake. :1orglaugh

Man you are freaking out. Relax.

The Copywrite infringement was in relation to her using the Mario Mushroom graphic. :thumbsup

Homeslice or ShoeHorn whoever the heck made that comment has no clue on the copywrite status of that little graphic. :1orglaugh

Is Fris really suggesting his clients use an old version of Wordpress when they can't upgrade because they have an "illegal" copy of a plugin or theme?

Even the developer suggested that would be a risk.

lol

No there is no loophole. If it's licensed as GPL then it's able to be given away and resold. Its not a loophole, its not a grey area.

I realise you are actually Gimme Website posting, but I am pointing this out because your outright LIES are misleading others.

It's not an illegal copy, its a perfectly legitimate copy as the GPL allows software to be given away or resold.

Making profound misrepresentations like this help nobody and only go to confuse people when there is no confusion, however that's your intention I am sure.

You are right about the GPL nobody is arguing the GPL.

What you are doing is saying it's OK for Fris to take advantage of the GPL to use other people's work to make money.

OK that's cool, but you are wrong.

The creator does not want him giving away or reselling the content.

That's all that matters.

It's perfectly ok for Fris to sell or give away GPL licensed software because that's what the GPL intended. Once you release GPL code you are basically bound to honor the license. Which means anyone who complains about their software being resold after they release it under the GPL has no leg to stand on.

By releasing GPL software you EXPLICITLY say that it's ok for people to give away or resell your software REGARDLESS of whether it's commercial or not.

I think it's time you stopped posting here as you're transparently Anna and are just aggravating the harm to yourself by doing so.

LOL You sound like GideonGallery :1orglaugh

You can argue this all you want. What Fris is doing is wrong.

You are only hurting your OWN reputation defending Fris soo adamantly.

Lots of argument over this stuff being GPL.

Why do you keep calling GimmeWebsite by her first supposed name "Anna" it's extremely creepy.

Amazingly brazen response. Gideon supports piracy, copying free software and giving it away is not piracy.

You have no argument as the GPL site itself makes the situation crystal clear. It's not even a debate. It's just one person against the entire GNU/GPL system under which thousands if not tens of thousands of software products are licensed.

As you can't read I'll repost what the GPL allows and a link to the official GNU/GPL website for anyone gullible enough to believe what you are saying.

The GPL allows:

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/quick-guide-gplv3.html

I really like you Tijuana_Tom. And if you do ever hit me up with a gig.. Heres 10% off.
(first time ive ever done that...)

I don't know if admin have the function to do so... But if they can, I invite them to check out my IP or whatever for 2nd nicks. I have had ONE account for the entire time ive been here.

Shoebox. I have answered your question in relation to Mushroom-gate here
https://gfy.com/showpost.php?p=19006769&postcount=31

Its been a blast.. and ive personaly learnt a few things.

1. Barefootsies is a real smart guy. He is also quite a gentleman and knows have to have a debate based on facts and not heresay....
2. Candyflip, Is actualy quite a nice guy when you take the heat out of the arguement and talk like human beings.
3. Yes... my on bourd personna needs to be toned down a little. I will endevour to be nicer to my competitors, *even if i think they are crap.

I suppose the next accusation will be from adultking claiming im Candyflip......

Now it's time to let this die. Fris has requested so.. I'm requesting the same thing.
Thanks for the traffic everyone. Its been quite a good week for my sales inbox....

I want to see a new thread with all of you faill trolls, fake nicks and morons admitting what Fris is doing is unethical.

Gimme-Website gets a KUDOS from me for calling Fris out. Maybe the money laundering accusation was going overboard (Even if true) but everything else she meant with good albeit bad intentions.

No I don't give a fuu about Fris or GimmeWebsite for that matter.

You don't seem to understand.

The GPL is a joke. :thumbsup

I Never accused anyone of money laundering though.. gotta clear that one up.
I said using someone elses paypal to sell hooky warez is a great way to take any liability off your shoulders should the shit hit the fan. And im correct... it is.

You realize that you are a troll, right? LOL idiot.

You said a lot of things that you should clear up. Like that YOU created that mushroom. I know for a fucking FACT that you didn't. Stop lying. You look like a bitch when you do.

Also GimmeWebsite I have experience to know that Fris' response to not having his own paypal is shady.

I wouldn't have accepted that response.
