wil76 bro, clickcash doesnt usea 3rd part processor, they use their own merc.account and till recently (maybe still) they didnt even ask for CV2. Their scrubbing ratio is lower than any 3rd part processor. So unless you are reffering this time to another program, you can't really tell :-)

It's not about losing wood, it's about being less loose with signing up for sites.
Before you laugh and say there is no such thing as surfer paranoia, I've got a couple of friends who have said they aren't going to be joining any new porn sites for awhile because of fear of their name being found out and getting back to their wives. They said they would wait to see if Bush & company get smacked back down or if the right wing gets even more powerful.

I'm not at all saying this is a BIG factor now. It isn't. What I am saying is that it's something we need to be aware of. No matter how much we want to dismiss the ability to "frighten" people, the religous right is growing in it's power and abilities to do just that.

Sure..the "chronic masterbators" are always going to sign up. Those that still are leary of the net and especially identity theft/loss of privacy are now being given more reasons to be cautious.

i guess it just becomes over rated and over saturated. or maybe.. peole are busy trying things (what they've learned in such adult sites) out for themselves. :winkwink:

Dang..have to come up with some new positions then. lol

Thats funny, I am sure the govt wont look back a couple months or even years. Your friends have some incredible logic there. If the govt starts arresting webmasters and collecting the info on the people who joined their sites and arresting the members, the govt is certainly only going to arrest the people or expose who signed up in the last few days. No way the govt would look back to see who signed up 6 months ago or a year ago :1orglaugh

the govt is not even arresting webmasters yet muchless going after their members or trying to expose them. Unless it is a kiddy porn site they are signing up to.

get over the summer slowdown.

Soul, usually people tell me that Clickcash scrubs harder then most ? :upsidedow

I guess based off of what you said and the fact I am doing very well with them then people might want to start using ClickCash? :winkwink:

not till sept - october :1orglaugh

non biased poll for last week's stats....

https://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-business-discussion/465046-sales-week-week-bad-post7291719.html#post7291719

17 people average/above average week
11 people below average week


Looks like there was no industry wide problems last week. And for those of you with isolated problems you better dig deeper then saying summer slow downs and kids out of school were the cause of your problems, poll above kinda destroys that logic.

You've missed the point completely. It's not IF the government will or will not do it..it's the PERCEPTION!

I think it's got FAR more to do with identity theft and privacy concerns with the site operators themselves stealing their shit than the government. It's such a strange concept unless your friends are part of the tinfoil brigade or by close association with you are more knowledgeable about the govt's movements and therefore more educated than the average surfer. The other consideration could be the types of sites they personally enjoy. If i was a max hardcore fan i might think a little more about legalities of signing up than to playboy.com.

I just really don't think your friends are representative of your average surfer. I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm sure the govt is a tiny tiny factor somewhere, as im sure el nino is. i just don't think it's going to affect signups until they start locking joe surfer up for surfing a porn site.. which isn't ever going to happen unless something so drastic happens that this conversation will be the least of our concerns - ie meteors destroy all blue states and every ACLU member and a fanatical doomsday christian cult takes over.

And even then they will be so repressed they will all have year long subs to euro sites.

Where have you been the govt has been making worse threats then they are now, they have always been threating... so according to you the perception should have always been there. Just because your two friends are getting freaked out about signingup to sites now doesn't mean anything about the rest of the industry. Don't you think perception would have been greater when they arested extreme ass. Don't you think the perception was greater when bush got elected ? everyone was just waiting for the hammer to fall. this is no different. this is business as usual.

And again, your friends logic is flawed... they already signed up to adult sites, do they think the govt will not look back over the last 3,6, 12 months.... ????? so if they were logical people, which they are not, why stop now, their name is already out there. so either way they are fucked according to their beliefs... so why stop signing up ??? :helpme
