But I just had to see if this fuck was one of the "50,100,150" post sig whores.

Curiousity got to me - and I was right. roflmao

Even in an important industry thread like this - he shows no discretion.

I'll send a donation as soon as the online donation form is ready.

EFF already got a nice bit of cash for me and IMPA can get some more as well. :)

Manowar 07-10-2004 04:58 AM

They got a paypal addy

jawanda 07-10-2004 05:15 AM

Real standup list of companies fighting this fight ... You guys are a shining example for anyone who has doubts about the character and integrity of people in this industry.

:thumbsup

I will send what I can spare.

Choker 07-10-2004 07:10 AM

Still working on the form, but I have already started. As I said I will contirbute 5% of gross new sales on behalf of the buyer. Starting out slow but so far we got:

fms100 7.50
thinkorsink 5.00
babehunter 9.52
Dimamaart 7.00

Not much but it's a start

Ash@phpFX 07-10-2004 07:32 AM

bump for the cause

Jeppe 07-10-2004 01:50 PM

Let us know when an online form is up and running. I've got af few $$$ I would like to donate even though I doubt we will be affected by the whole thing.

Almost done with it. If Acacia gets the right to sue the industry as a class action, it will affect everyone in this business. Nobody will be unaffected. That goes for designers, everyone who does work that in any way supports paysites. If paysites are having to cut back on expenses this will affect everyone in the end.

BTW

fms100 7.50
thinkorsink 5.00
babehunter 9.52
Dimamaart 7.00
Austinrob 10.00

You can't teach an old whore, I have no problem with what I have done, au contraire, I should have invested a lot more than what I did in the first place.

Burnie 07-10-2004 05:19 PM

Times are hard right now but here's what I'll do...
I am not even listing my affilate program on my paysite, but anyone who wants to promote it here is the link:
http://www.jennyandfriends.net/webmasters.html

Now what I'll do, From NOW until September 30th, I will donate my 1/2 of the signup (that's over 2 1/2 months of my part). It's a 50/50 split and I'll paypal my half as the checks come in (about 2 weeks with CCBill). Wish I could do better but as I said times are hard right now. And to Acacia :321GFY

Pete 07-10-2004 06:14 PM

I'll donate

grumpy 07-10-2004 06:15 PM

i have been looking into it and decided to buy a shitload of shares :-)

Morgan 07-10-2004 06:21 PM

do people hosting paysites overseas have to worry about acacia? can acacia go after them? not that i am going to, just wondering if that's a way to escape

Their paypal address: [email protected]

homegrownSpike 07-10-2004 09:43 PM

Hi All,

Thanks for coming out and posting for the cause. I have signed up with https://paydirect.yahoo.com and http://www.moneybookers.com/app/ use my [email protected] e-mail to make a donation. As for sending a check contact me directly and Ill send you the information.

I am checking into writing off the money. And whether it?s a business expense.

Also on another note the IMPA can?t send money to the legal fight because Acacia has accused it of being an organization that is trying to stop Acacia from suing everyone?.

CDSmith 07-10-2004 09:47 PM

Spike, can you set up a paypal account to take donations too?

I donated before, I'd like to again and I have some cash in my paypal account I'd like to send you. I'm sure others here have paypal accounts they'd like to send you money from too.

Bump!

Choker 07-11-2004 11:31 AM

Fuck it, I'm jsut going to send $500 now to spikes epassporte. Since I announced this in ctts guys stopped buying traffic. Nobody seems to care about this. I worded it so guys would know that I am putting up the 5% not them, they still must think it is deducted from their order or something.

BluMedia 07-11-2004 01:25 PM

bump for this thread that should be the top thread.

Why won't you mention names?
If you tell the truth, they can't touch you.

CDSmith 07-11-2004 07:16 PM

I wonder what those who've settled with Acacia think when they read a letter like the one Choker posted.

ZanyCash Larry 07-11-2004 07:25 PM

We must support each other and the fight against Acacia or it may be too late :thumbsup

Mr.Fiction 07-11-2004 07:30 PM

Keep this thread bumped and everyone donate a few thousand dollars!

Spunky 07-11-2004 07:35 PM

I'm worried about this and will donate as much as I can..It's a shame the little guys have to put in their hard earned dollars to try to fight this...I know it is a business decision for the bigger companies but we sure could have used their support to try and fight them

I guess so. I sent money, the email arrived a while later that said the money was received by him.

Have at it :D

Bump for a good cause.

rockbear 07-12-2004 05:37 AM

Charly boy. I don't question your motives, I question your intelligence. I don't ally myself with the stupid. Thats the only reason I avoid you.:thumbsup

Tom_PMs 07-12-2004 09:24 AM

Just a bump for an important issue to many.

CDSmith 07-12-2004 12:40 PM

Who should donate?


Program owners - yes
program admins - yes
affiliate webmasters - yes
content providers - yes
content models - yes
designers - yes
programmers - yes


Basically, if you are affiliated with the adult industry in any way you need to donate. If you're sitting there thinking you are only a small fish and will remain unaffected by this Acacia issue, wake up and think again.

Losing is not an option. I urge everyone to make a donation to this cause, be it ten bucks or $500+... whatever your budget will allow I'm sure will help the cause no matter what. Don't sit by and let others fight the cause while you do nothing.
