That's what WSB owes me for InternetEraser and AdultLiveNetwork sales.

Please note that ALL WEBMASTERS WERE PAID BY US even though we weren't getting paid. That's the right thing to do.

That's fucked.

And great job on paying your webmasters even though you got boned.

That is the right thing to do.

PostWhore · 05-22-2003, 05:29 PM

Living For Today · 05-22-2003, 05:29 PM

Lensman is setting an example as to how a reputation is built.

I'm wondering if I'm even going to get my $3k from TripleXcash.

TripleXcash are stand up guys. If you did not get paid then it is either an oversight or you lived up to your screen name and stole/cheated.

Amputate Your Head · 05-22-2003, 05:46 PM

that's totally fucked....

did WSB file for bankruptcy or something, or just shut the doors and haul ass?

That's very commendible of you Lensman and I'm sure your webmasters will be very happy to know they'll be paid even during WSB's failure. I hope you can recover a good portion of that amount in bankruptcy court.

They didn't mention anything about bankruptcy that I saw...just a nice letter saying that we aren't getting shit, basically.

Very good thing that you paid all the webmasters.
Good action.

A good reputation is worth alot of money.

Nysus · 05-22-2003, 06:08 PM

I'd definitely find a good repo company... Take the building they were in... take the clothes off of the owners... tape it too.. and then sell it on the web....

Cheers,

i think you guys at triplexcash run a pretty good show, but i highly doubt WSB will ever send me a check. i've never gotten one, so why think i will now?

oh yeah, props to lens. i hope you can reclaim something. they probably have $250k in office furniture.

Theo · 05-22-2003, 06:27 PM

jimmyf · 05-22-2003, 06:29 PM

For your partners (webamsters) I'm glad you have the bank to do this. Very few people in ANY business would do this, believe me I've seen it a bunch in mainstream companies.

I don't care what they say about you Lensman :

your a stand up guy. ditto's man

You don't get shit for used office furniture, as a matter of fact when the dot coms went bust over in the Bay Area, there was so much of it they could GIVE it away and that's a fact. About 15 years ago I bought some printing companies CEO's chair for $ 50.00 that was a nice chair (they went bust). Was a $ 1000.00 plus chair back then

garry · 05-22-2003, 06:36 PM

suck suck suck suck and suck big time. I just cant understand how companies can just take other peoples money. And I bet they even do it with a smile

At least by choosing the MPA2 program as your new back end now you will have backup processors if this would ever happen to any of the 3 cascading processors in the feature.

Send all your legal guys after them and dont give up. Companies that takes other peoples money ruin it for everyone !

yeah, i guess you're right, i didn't really think about that. leave the office furniture for someone else. but, their organs are probably worth a decent $$. aren't like livers and stuff worth a few tens of thousands each? i mean, there's gotta be enough employees...

snowpimp · 05-22-2003, 06:50 PM

First of all, I'm sorry this is happening, it truly is a nightmare and I almost feel bad asking but if you've had enough with 3rd party processors, I"ll be happy to buy your sites and members from any decent site without chargeback problems. We have our own merchant account and don't have any problems billing members.
ICQ me your sites' and how many members you have and let's start negociating a price. ICQ # 4790444

Hey lensman

Sorry to see your out that much cash...But its cool to see that even when someone fails to pay you that you still hold up your commitment to webmasters...Thats probably why your where your at today...

Good luck on trying to recoop some of the cash

Jon

I can't help but think.... Is ibill next?

I know lensman has repeatedly said that they are fine... but i'm starting to wonder....

I remember how all the trouble started with WSB... trouble with banks and such.... and now ibill is having trouble is their eu banks.....

gothweb · 05-22-2003, 07:26 PM

My first instinct is to say that paying everyone out of their own pocket was an amazing thing for Adult.com to do. I've thought about it though, and while it is great, it *shouldn't* be so amazing. Because it is what anyone else should do in the same situation.

I can vouch for that. I haven't earned much, but what I did earn has been paid to me like clockwork.

I've been expecting to hear this about WSB for some time now. Had a feeling I did.

Onward.....

I dont think Ibill is going anywhere, they have a large company behind them. They are getting rid of the crappy webmasters, they may not be the kings of customer service but they will be around.
