why not? potential future employment :-)

anyway,i can see legit webmasters getting canceled for such reasons. You just move on. Not every sponsor will give you info on what exactly happened. Affiliate programs are mutual agreements seeking profitability. Nobody will pay you more than what your traffic worths to them, neither will keep you as an affiliate if you cause them more trouble than good.

sometimes when i am hungry and am pissed i have to get off my fat ass, i take it out on my affiliates and randomly select an acct and hit 'delete' just to get even with the world for making me actually get up and go do something...

its a rough life

ha, again

I don't see a program shutting off a webmaster for no good reason. They are all desperate for traffic and will kiss arses to get it, just look at the trade shows. So Trey must have had a good reason to cut off the account.

What is worryting is that he never told the webmaster exactly why and given him a chance to respond. This in my opinion is a common occurence. Yes cut off the account, but email them immediately to tell them why.

I just closed our affiliate program becasue I found two guys buying under their own affiliate number and then claiming the commission. But I wrote to everyone and informed them I was closing it and why.

I think what Platano is pissed about is the way he was dealt with.

Platano..

Maybe Epic heard that you were a thief from other companies.. You know how many times I had to DMCA you, your ex partners and ARS for your illegal use of my images to sell ARS Indian sites and other Indian sites before theirs ! You were meant to be a pal but stole from me... I have no sympathy at all. I also heard from ARS that they closed your acct a short while ago and that they're wise to you using mutiple id's to sign up again.

I can promise you that I didn't contact Epic about you as I haven't found any more galleries of yours with my pics selling other sites apart from mine for a while and you know that I now ICQ and email you first to take them down if I do find any !

I don't know Epic and have never had to contact them over stolen material but who knows who elses material you stole to use for promoting their Indian sites !!!

Stop playing little boy innocent.. You are a thief and I have enough copies of emails and DMCA notices to prove the fact !

Hey you also promised in the thread title that I wouldn't regret
reading this thread......another lie....I do regret it......I want my
time back sucker!

Hey Joe,

The story about ARS is different than what you tell people. But its typical with you busting out with something that is not really the issue...I guess it comes with age!

Clearing out issues:

1. I got closed my accounts at ARS because I had a friend using 1 of my accounts as he was from India and ARS dont allow webmasters from India.

2. You didnt hear anything from ARS about those accounts getting closed. I told you that.

3. This threat has nothing to do about galleries and stolen pics. I had 3-4 galleries with your pics on by a co-incidence and you were so kind to send in DMCA form to my sponsors, so I guess I dont owe you nothing there.

4. It is a pleasure for me to tell that your galleries and program are no longer allowed at my sites.

And Joe, now you are talking so openly with people here about stuff lets go a while back when you wanted to create an indian mafia controlling all indian sites online. You contacted all indian webmasters asking to join your little mad plan and what a pitty that everybody thought you was mad man!

Result today is that you are still a little mad man with much less power than you really wanted! Joe you cant get big and important person with the attitude you are carying. Dont you see it?

how about some screenshots about the cancellations?

Screenshots!:thumbsup

I like the one a few years ago I ran accross.

the guy was paying people 2 join Silvercash sites. :Graucho
If I remember you got something like $20.00 for joining 5 sites.

50 Epic Accounts closed.

50 whineing pimpdogg affiliates:glugglug

Platano..

I admit I'm a little mad man and you'd be as well if you found that a thief had been using your shoots illegally to promote other sites for over 2 years. The last time I spoke to ARS about you was on 5th March 2004 when I found a site that used my pics to sell an ARS Indian site.. The result was that the webmaster thought they were legal as you gave them to him saying they were yours... That webmaster and I are now good buddies :)

As for you only having my pics on 3 or 4 galleries.. Do you want me to post all the DMCA notices I've served on you and your ex partners showing how many galleries you created from 2001 till recently with my material.. I don't think you do..

Next.. as for the Indian site mafia idea.. That was back in 2000 I think and said jokingly but you obviously have no sense of humour. Back then there were only about 8 wm's in the world working the Indian niche as the sponsors didn't latch on till around mid 2001 at the earliest and we all seemed to be in contact with each other. The UK guys who I fought against in those early days are now good buddies and we often meet up and chat on the phone regularly.. In fact one of them does a lot to promote my sites these days. Back when we started in '99 we wanted to kill each other.

As for me not being rich.. How can I be when there are thieves like you getting away with ripping me off for years !!

Get a life and get legal..

Rock on P1mpdogg as I'm sure you have a valid reason to have kicked Platano out of your programmes.

Damn Joe my good buddy, you keep twisting words. Why dont u make a separate threat dude, and release all your tentions and I will come and babysit you there?

I never said to that webmaster which you are referring to that those pics were legal. Actually he never asked me before copying them, so please stuff that up somewhere else. And good luck for you with your buddies dude, manipulating with webmasters to have them promote your programs. 2-3 cases where you scare webmasters with your attitude and then kindly ask them to run your program LOL and I ran your program also, but that was as compensation for the few galleries I ran with your pics, but actually your program is not converting to anybody.

But as I say, it must be the age playing with your memory...

Go ahead with your lies Joe or problem with memory, you were creasy to get control of the indian site market back in time, but again it must be your memory causing problems.

About having a life dude, I think you know that I already have a life, but ofcause all depending on what you think is life:-)
