The way he's fighting on this topic, you'd think he was getting paid in .50ct Android apps.

He is one thick headed, stubborn motherfucker, that's for sure.

You're wrong about the argument. It's much more than that, it's understanding that themes are released GPL compatible and that isn't the same as having assets also released under GPL.

Many (yeah, I know sorry about the generalization without posting proof) companies and people release their themes and products under GPL without fully understanding what they have done, and once it is out you don't have the right to claw it back.

There's no debate as to whether or not people can use a split license. The initial blowup was is the stuff that was distributed under the GPL and does that allow for fris to do what he did.

you are refering to the threads I make posting themes and plugins, Ive always stated those arent mine i just post them when i get them via newsletters or rss feed updates.

you were banned 2 times for a reason.

I even had to say in the threads that I in no way created the themes just to satisfy you more than one occasion, Im sure i could dig up links of threads where you assumed it was mine.

I dont even care you have a 3rd or 4th nick, im not going to go emailing a mod or anything because I dont care what you have to say anymore.

This image was used for a part of the header. the jpeg I saved was from my layout psd file, it wasnt the stock image posted on the proof site. How the fuck did they find it?! lmao.

there are ways for people to find their shit and I just don't want to be threatened legally again lol, which is why I even mentioned anything.

Strong racism, double standards, hypocrisy and bigotry on this site.

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.
