A huge red flag against using this designer is that she freely discusses clients and potential clients conversations with her in public. If I was a customer with an idea, original or not, I wouldn't want the designer I consulted to go and post it together with my name on a public forum.

As stated, I'll advise anyone who asks to steer clear of this obviously indiscreet whacko.

Wow, Gfy loves drama.....lol, lots of pages here.

I myself wouldn't hire anyone that would give me an attitude. If I pay you, your working for me right? From reading through threads it seems GW feels she is in total control and the cleint is lucky to have her. I don't know her, but from posts I have seen, I'de avoid what looks like a headache.

Anna and I have patched things up outside of GFY.

She knows that she probably could have handled things differently, and I agree that she definitely had reasons to be suspicious based on her not understanding how some things work.

We have said our peace and buried the hatchet, so to speak. Everyone else can carry on as they see fit.

this is a memorable day!!

Good. Now we need to see some xxx pictures of Loryn Adult.

I'm surprised she didn't post them. She's usually quick to show off her hotness.

Good point.

I also want to say that Anna and I have patched things up and our differences are resolved. The word cunt is free to be bandied about again as often as necessary to make the world a better place.

Didn't read the thread, but I voted "She won't get business from me!" because I don't need to hire a designer. The other 2 selections didn't apply.

It is the GFY.com way....

MUshroomgate :P

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

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?
