VERY unwanted gift!
I was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience to me. I just received in the post a clock from the Adult.com team.
The clock came with a card from Adult.com and the clock itself has Adult.com written all over it. When I signed up with various adult programs, I understood they knew how to keep a CONFIDENTIAL, low-profile business relationship. This is, for instance, why checks don't come from PornGigaDollars.com (or whatever) but from some nice innocuous outfit like "ABC Holdings, inc." So why send me a (U$(*#*$ CLOCK WITH YOUR URL ON IT!!!!! (or indeed christmas cards, as some of the other less-than-bright companies have been sending me) It was a close thing getting it into the garbage before some of the people in my house, NOT ALL OF WHOM KNOW ABOUT THE PORN SITE STUFF (note emphasis please) noticed the parcel and started asking questions. If this kind of thing happened to you (and you minded) what did you do about it? Oh, and I know I'm going to get endless replies blasting me for complaining - if you don't see my point about the low-profile relationship, you'll frankly never get where I'm coming from! |

if you are so worried about others finding out what you do, why don't you spend the 40$ it takes to get a p.o. box?

Damm man, that is pretty ungrateful if you ask me.
I love the clocks and I also am proud to be in this biz, and all my friends and family know exactly what I do for a living. If you really are ashamed of what you do, and are pissed that Lensman sent you a gift, well why not keep your mouth shut (especially on his own board) and stick the clock in a drawer or give it to someone??....Geeshhhhhhhh ------------------ Smile and Be Happy Lightning Free Hosting Gay Free Hosting Girls Host [This message has been edited by Lightning (edited 12-17-2001).] |

i know what ya mean by it, i guess the people you live with are holy rollers or something and thats cool and all it's just that it was a gift, it's the thought that counts, regardless of wether or not you liked it the fact is the spent money and made 1 made and shipped it to you, i guess you shoul email them and ask that they don't send you gifts anymore, but don't go saying that its so horible, did they know your situation NO, do others like the gift YES, now why should they change everything for your situation?

I'm going to try one more time to explain what I was trying to get at earlier. Now that I'm less annoyed, perhaps it will be clearer (or maybe not).
I understood/assumed/believed (delete as appropriate) that it was common practice in the adult industry to maintain the confidentiality of the relationship between sponsors and webmasters. Hence e.g. sponsors do not reveal the real names of people behind their "nicks" and they send out nice, unassuming checks that make little or no reference to their origins (how many times have people posted on here because they couldn't figure out from what sponsor a check came from - a lot!) I am very happy to receive the checks (including from Adult.com of course!). I assume since this is a business relationship that they are also happy to be able to send me the checks because it means that *they* have *also* made money out of the signups I brought them (if this wasn't the case, *on average*, then sponsors would shut down pretty quickly) I guess I over-reacted a little though, but it was just so glaringly out of place compared to the until now low-key and genteel relationship. |

I understood what you meant and I still think you should stop crying. CCBill sends me porno ads with my checks, but you don't see me complaining.
Checks are one thing, you have to take them to the bank and it might be a little akward if it had "CUM LOVING SLUTS" on the check itself, but it's not like you have to hang this clock on the wall, and in fact on MY clock the Adult.com part is on the back, so even if you did no one would see it. ------------------ SlutBunnies - $30/sale, bitch. |

You'll be found out. Sooner rather than later. It WILL happen, sponsors DO share their lists with others, and you WILL get some stupid advertisements for some porn stuff.
so why not spend a few bucks and get a damn PO box if it's so important no one knows? You can't expect to maintain "secret" by having the fucking evidence sent to your house! PO box resolves all issues, and you could give the clock to some poor-ass postman! -Phil |

Someone PLEASE tell me this is a joke....... good god I'd love to have had that clock!! DAMMIT!!!!!
I make no bones about what I do for a living and I don't give a rats ass who has anything to say about it. I have just bought a house and in the summer bought me a nice (not new but a very nice used) car and god knows what else with the money I have made in this industry. BEFORE I started in this business, I was living in government houseing and we lived off of food stamps!! So you bet that sweet ass I am DAMN proud of what I have accomplished in this business and what it has done for my family as well as my own self esteem..... I make MY OWN damn money now. All this is LARGELY due to people like Lensman and his clan and a ton of other people helping me along and me working my ass OFF..... so please do not come here and even think of being ungrateful for a gift that was sent to you. They apparently thought you were worthy of such a gift or they wouldn't have sent it, although I am wondering why now. To ME, if you are ashamed of what you do, then how in the hell can you in good conscious feel right about any GIFTS you yourself give to your friends and family with the MONEY you make doing this? GOD!!!!!! Ok Rude Bitch off......... just blows me away when people show so little gratitude!!!!! Tam ------------------ Decide for your fucking self! ProudMember of Boneprone-4-Life |

Lensman - sending out clocks to people who support your programs shows class in an industry in DESPRITE need of more class.

To all those who couldn't see my POINT but only saw my RANT, GFY! (after all, that's what this board is all about)
To the Adult.com crew - I apologise for way over-reacting to what was *clearly intended* to be a nice gesture. It's been a very bad month for all kinds of unrelated reasons, and the pressure's getting to me. |

I have to admit I laughed my ass off reading this thread. I can just picture you running to the trash can and throwing this stuff at the bottom of the barrel. Its pretty screwed up when you get involved in the adult biz and live with people you dont want to know. I bet you clear your history and cache every time you leave the computer room. (still gigglen)
It probably would be a great idea to get a p.o. box. (you'd sleep better at night) and what is up with everyone getting a christmas card, clock, ham,, ect ect.... I am very freaking left out here!!!! ------------------ Hot Tropical Sex |

Without going into detail, I run a bunch of money-making mainstream sites (yes, such rare beasts do exist!) so all the checks just go into a big "check pile".
Which is why hiccups like today *could* stand out like a sore thumb, to mix metaphors wildly. |
