Any TGP owners out there mind if I just 404 100 or so galleries? - GoFuckYourself.com

jact · 06-09-2004, 05:08 PM

I can keep submitting, right? You'll keep listing me, right? I mean, what's a hundred 404'd galleries, it's nothing..

Ross · 06-09-2004, 05:10 PM

Sure, send em all over to me.....

Infact! Why not send the surfers to dialer hell? That would be nice

StuartD · 06-09-2004, 05:10 PM

Oh, I'm sure no one would mind... tgp's love it when a huge chunk of galleries just suddenly stop working.

I dunno, this 404 traffic has a pretty high price tag on it.

A sponsor has decided they don't want our traffic after 500 joins, so they want us to 404 our galleries immediately.

Not going to say, yet, we're still aggressively negotiating. My point of the thread isn't to expose anyone or cause drama. More to amuse myself while waiting for a phone call.

I'm not sure, money hasn't been discussed, but they want the galleries down regardless. I'm confused.

If thats the case I'd be pissed.

Probably per signup is $20 (being conservative) so thats like $10K

Ouch! Probably more but like I say, I'm being conservative.

I think we actively promoted them for 36 days? Something in there.

So, what are my chances of ever getting listed again if I pull them?

I just hope it's not the same one that offered a hosting deal to lot's of webmasters over here, including me....

But I really think it is since I've talking about them before.... And that's some really REALLY bad news....

I don't think they offered hosting, at least, not to us.

Rictor · 06-09-2004, 05:29 PM

People assume it's per sign-up...but wouldn't it be 10 times as crazy if he was sending traffic to a revshare and they said this?

they offered hosting at one time, i emailed them about it to push some movie shit, despite the fact their support area says "all inquiries will be answered within 24 hours" I havent heard back from them

this was well over 6 months ago I asked too

your chances are very bad lol...
best bet is prior to changing anthing, to send out an email to all the tgp owners involved and explain the situation as best you can. then all you can do is hope they wont BL you

sorry to hear you have to deal with this kinda bullshit

The galleries are doing excellent. The content was VERY carefully chosen too.

It would take approximately 40 hours of our time to do that, and the liklihood is that many of them wouldn't care much. Estimated worth of the partner accounts is FAR beyond what this sponsor would be paying us this year.

beemk · 06-09-2004, 05:32 PM

fuck 500 revshare sales and they want u to take it down? whats their reason?

They haven't been able to give us one that makes sense yet, everything they gave us was pure BS from the get go.

For the most part, tgp owners are people too and they'll understand your situation.

You have a few options as I see it.

1. Yank them, but don't redirect them. That's your safest bet.

2. Yank them AND redirect. I'll assume that these aren't year old galleries, so it will certainly be frowned upon. IF you get blacklisted, and you will by some places, send them a letter explaining. If they were a year old, noone would probably care.

3. Change the linking codes and link to a FPA with another sponsor(s). Much less blacklistings, and tgp owners will be more understanding with this option than option # 2. If you're using your last sponsor's content, you're pretty out of luck with this option, unless they don't pay you. Then fuck them.

Whatever you do, you've got some work to do. Best of luck

They are claiming that the content was taken from somewhere other than the members area, and that it isn't present in the members area, which is pretty bogus and untrue. I think they are afraid of oversaturating it, but if that's the case, we are not to blame. We are hardly the only ones promoting the site..

the Shemp · 06-09-2004, 05:33 PM

and people wonder why i really only like to promote my own sites...

foolio · 06-09-2004, 05:34 PM

I see they are recent postings -- that makes it much worse than if it was old stuff..

but you gotta spill WHO it was... that is fucked 100%

The question is why should we have to do that? That is MANY MANY MANY hours of manpower wasted, as well as revenue from listings that could have gone to other sponsors, you also have to take into consideration that we are NOT violating any TOS, everything was done according to what we were told.. so...

tranza · 06-09-2004, 05:37 PM

Well, that's just TOO FUCKED UP....

I'm really sorry for you jact, I hope everything goes well (I don't know if you remember that we had our differences in the past, but I REALLY do hope everything gets straighten out)....

Point taken.

I simply offered suggestions to what I quoted.

Yours is another question altogether.

You SHOULDN'T have to, but the options I gave MAY help you out given your situation.

If the sponsor is outright fucking you, then I'd use option #3.

And I'd out them in public.

I don't doubt he would, but that wasn't the original question.

If he CAN get his money, then obviously that isn't the option to use.
