100 donating webmasters and 1 clueless pedophile.

Did you win the 2,000,000 millionth post on GFY?
Ya - it was you - claim your prizes.

CUT THE FUCKING CHEQUE ...
OR SHUT THE FUCK UP

Why are you such an asshole? I see you get yourself mired in so much shit for no reason at all. Screaming like a child who dropped his ice cream isn't going to help the situation. If you care about the issue, bump the thread with encouragement for people who might be on the fence about donating. Stop being such a jackass and don't worry about what quiet is doing with his money. Even if quiet sends $0 to IMPA, this thread still generated donations for the cause. Grow up.

SpaceAce

as soon as we hit approximately 2500, i'll be sending them 5K. verifiable.

:glugglug

By the way, anyone who wants to purchase AVS Weasel, be sure to mention this thread and/or the IMPA. I'll give you $25 off the price and send another $25 to [email protected].

I'll keep this deal open for the next week, at least. Sometimes I sell 0 AVS Weasels in a week and sometimes I sell a lot so this could add up to a nice donation.

Quiet $5000.00 (No affiliates - bookmark thehun.com :glugglug)

------------------------------------

$8055.05 to the IMPA

please do :)

and please, keep posting here to give something. 10 or 20 bucks is a great thing in these times :)

cheers :glugglug

What do you mean "bookmark the hun"?
If Quiet is real - I will do much more then that.
"What is the hun?"

...double checks totals....

Quiet is as real as you are troubled.

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Totals are correct.. 3055.50 + Quiets $5000 so far (providing that WOJ honors his $50 pledge :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh)

Let's get this up to $5k & match Quiets donation!

When I get an ICQ from FightThisPatent.com or IMPAI.org then it will be real.

Until then - who won the 2,000,000 Millionth post?

I shouldn't even waste time replying to you like this, but if you did a little research on Quiet, his site & his business model - not to mention his reputation, you would understand that if he sais he's donating $5000 to the IMPA - it's a done deal.

i nominate this for GFY Quote of the Year!!

Is the IMPA a non profit ORG?

If so..... tax writeoff.

quiet can u hit me up, or lemme know how to get in touch? i have a question bout some of this

icq 1148977

For the record, that's for additional donations. They've been in my signature for a long time, now (for a while they were my whole sig), and any AVS Weasel sales are just bonus on top of my personal support.

SpaceAce

Yes. Yes.

Don't take it personal... ;)

I just gave you an honorable mention.

You pledged if someone bought XYZ that you would contribute $$$. You didn't mention past contributions or anythign else... many people have IMPA in their sigs.. thats easy, and IMO, every mfer on this forum should have IMPA in their sig... err.. ::checks sig:: :1orglaugh .. yeah well.. I'm doing my part in other ways. :1orglaugh

Nice to see it was reached. Now it just needs to match quiets. Considering the amount of people who visit here it shouldn't be that hard. Still an awful lot out there still got their heads in the sand though.

I see the sexed loony pedo is still trying to ruin the thread. Oh well :(

gobigtime.
I committed myself to giving $200 to both of them direct, so thats $400.

And you are VERY right about Acacia, they win we will be left with a lot fewer companies. They will do deals with the big guys and those already signed up to take the money from them not to deal with 5,000 companies.

So you want to be in this industry in the future, give something for your survival and do not expect others to give for you.

Read this if you do not understand what this is about.

bump. anyone else?

:glugglug

add my mowsey $25.00. i wish it could be a million dollars.

That basically sum's it up.


Some of the the big guys that are signing ARE looking out of the small guys... but they have no intention of having you for competitors - they want you as affiliates and traffic generators.

Bottom line.


With the way elections and everything else is going in this country, I wouldn't be surprised if Acacia wins this battle.

After all, it would be a lot easier for the IRS, DOJ, Visa/MC & everyone else to police this industry if the number of "legal" players in it were < 100 instead of ~10,000. :2 cents:

Quiet $5000.00 (No affiliates - bookmark thehun.com )



$8080.05

that's a very nice number. a worthwhile thread can make a difference - cheers.

http://impai.org

:glugglug

notice that it's all been small time people helping out in this thread, like Spike had mentioned.

any big sponsors want to put up half what i am?

$200

:glugglug

Alot of "big guys" in the industry clear $5000 a day easy .... you would think some of these people would step up and show their support.

Too bad for quiet that he chooses to have "No affiliates" - He could probably snag a lot of affiliates by showing support like this.

I bet one of those affiliate programs out there with a little $$$ could do nicely in webmaster signups by supporting this pledge drive :winkwink:

Any of you big ballers out there care to shock & awe us by matching Quiets $5000 donation?

I doubt it.

What you are forgetting is Europe, will Acacia be able to take on the European webmasters or will they just suck the US ones dry. And you are right. Where were the big players, they are defintely on this board.

Plus I will be emailing my list of webmasters, who else has a list?

Get it out and tell people, I'm getting reactions to my ICQ spam of this thread.

Shove your head up your fucking ass, you stupid moron. Can't you tell nobody GIVES a fuck what you thinK, if you retract your bullshit or not? Do the world a favor and take a high jump of a cliff with no parachute.

whats the paypal address to donate?

Yes it is... i saw an AVN poll a while back where 80% of the respondants didn't know or care about the Acacia issue.

Given the stories of Hustler, etc.. that number is probably at like 77%.

Maybe to get people to read about these issues, need some off-topic, colorful thread title with nuddie pictures of girls holding up signs about these issues..... what does it take??? :)

I encourage everyone to spread the word to their fellow webmasters, send out short ICQ message to everyone in your list to view these thread.

For those that watched the movie 'Pay it Forward', you might remember this part:

If someone did you a favor - something big, something you couldn't do on your own - and instead of paying it back, you paid it foward to three people... and the next day, they each paid it forward to three more . And the day after that, those 27 people each paid it forward to another three, and each day, everyone in turn paid it forward to three more people, that comes to 4,782,969 people.



Fight The Patent!

As you can see from Acacia's website on countries where they have patents filed:

http://www.acaciatechnologies.com/patents.htm

They have the ammo to go to Europe... i have already read and received email from webmasters in Europe who have received 'information packets".

Acacia can easily find some attorney firm in Europe to handle the case... so europe is not exempt from this mess.


Fight the Patent!

How can you possibly doubt this Acacia bullshit will stand up in court. Don't you know anything about computers? Acacia thinks they have a patent on electronically transmitted video -- that's like trying to patent air.

Fight the Patent Foundation is a separate entity and a separate Pledge Drive effort.

Charly's contribution towards FTPF goes towards the pledge drive goal of raising $250,000 to start the non-profit (501c3) organization.

Since I am asking the adult industry as a group to support the rally to start FTPF, and the belief that there is a sense of community, that 20% of the gross from this pledge drive goes to adult organizations like ASACP and IMPA that are looking out for the industry as a whole.

I have spoken with Spike and Farrell several times about FTP and FTPF and there is a great synergy between the two entities.

Our organizations have different charters.. IMPA is an Association, that looks after all kinds of issues that concern webmasters in the adult industry.

FTPF will be a non-profit that is narrowly focused on patents, which is a subset of IMPA's charter. There is an overlap in a sense in what we do in the area of patents.

We both have the aims of being proactive in fighting against patent abuse cases and in finding prior art.

One of the main differences in the prior art seaches between the 2 groups is that i am expecting people to come forward to FTPF to provide prior art and expert testimony due to the way FTPF gives donations to their favorite charity in their name if they come forward to help (ie. Pay it Forward), as opposed to digging/researching to find people, and trying to convince them to help with prior art.

I have been doing this for over 60 days.. i have sent out a ton of emails and fax, and only a small percentage respond, and smaller percentage puts efforts to help in the search.

This is the reason why i believe defending patent infringement claims is hard, because if you don't have the good prior art, you will have trouble convincing the court to invalidate the claims.

A perfect example of this is eBay. Through my searches, i found some BBS prior art for auctions.. i contacted eBay, they were interested in the leads, but they had already lost their case, and the court awarded the plantiff $29M for patent infringements.

eBay is on appeal right now on the case, but they can't introduce new evidence... so i may have found the silver bullets for their case (and some experts that could testify), but because they didn't find it earlier, it won't help them.

eBay has other patent cases they are defending, so maybe this time, they'll look to organizations like FightThePatent.com and FTPF to help in the search. (Afterall, i do this for free).

Both organizations need your support..and as you see on my pledge form, i clearly and boldly state that 20% of the gross pledges from this drive will be allocated to ASACP and IMPA.

I am not collecting any money from any webmasters at this point. As you can see by the graphic below, the amount shown are pledges. ONLY when 250,000 is reached do the pledges become donations... if the pledge total falls short, no money is collected and FTPF will not happen.

At that point, i will scale back my advocacy efforts, still help in the search with assistance to IMPA, but focus my attention back on my ventures and making money with my time and talents.


Fight the Patent!

Me and Ukguru from Webmaster Linkup will donate $100

:)

I'll give $50.

SexEd I attempted to explain the premises of this thread to you yesterday in another thread. You truly are a mental midget saying the same thing over and over.

Put me in for $20 I will give more later.

Quiet this is a pretty amazing thing you are doing here. I have no reason to doubt anyone wouldn't give money if they say they have

I hope the figure reaches over $10K. It would be great if some of the big guys in the business made a donation. I know someone who is being persued by ACACIA I will ask him to make a donation...

Just sent $100 over via Paypal. Very worthy cause.

DONE :glugglug

Thanks to everyone!!!!

For the record, the total donations, not including quiets 5k, since this thread has started is $3832.36

Great job everyone, keep it up and thank you!!!!
