When Acacia were talking about "affiliates" being safe if a program signed, they didn't mean it in the sense of the word that we use it, they meant affiliates as in employees, owners or people directly affiliated with the entity that signed.

Interesting.. Maybe Far-L has more info about this?

I haven't seen the agreements so I can't comment on that.

I would think so. I don't post on public boards or tell anyone what I will, would do. Just do it and keep it 2 myself.

For those who have NOT gotten anything yet, Acacias address is less than a couple hours from me and the postmark on the letter was yesterday.

So depending where you are check your boxes the next couple of days.

No doubt more letters are in transit right now.

i got my first letter today as well. and now that i think about it acacia had to have gotten it from a sponsor. the only people that have this adress is sponsers, none of my whois info or anything else goes to this address. same with content. my dredit cards have a different address than this address so i use that address with content companys...

im gonna figure out which sponsor gave out my info. can someone link me to a list of sponsors that have signed?

SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

I would think so. Man we need an attorney to speak up now. This is a grey area.

Either way we need to boycott anyone who is a part of this.

We need more names. Someone post a list of the 54 companies that have setteled so we have a list to work from.

Anyone have this list? And I'm NOT saying that all 54 companies gave out info out.. I'm saying a list to work from to see who we have affiliate accounts with and who MIGHT have been behind leaking information.

I will not promote any affiliate program that gives the personal information of its affiliates to Acacia.

I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

Yes, I would very much like to see this list also.

I am signed up with 30+ affiliate programs and I can guarentee you that I'll be withdrawling from each and every one that is on the list just for safe measure.

This is a list of companies that have settled with Acacia:

Hustler websites
Vivid Entertainment
Wicked Pictures

Copy this and add to the list

Who else has settled?

Note to self:

When giving out ANY physical address on the internet, always encode it like so:

Joe Blow
1234 Conspiring Way. p03
Anytown, Ca 90210

Or

Joe Blow
1234 Conspiring Way.
Anytown, CA 90210 p03

OR

Joe Blow
1234 Conspiring Way.
Authorization Code: p03
Anytown, CA 90210

P03 could stand for "program 03" or whatever I want.

Same goes for email... I should always encode my emails like [email protected] and use a "catch all" address on that account.

That way it's easy to know who is selling my email, and easy to blacklist people who do.
