Various Inc. 2257 - GoFuckYourself.com

Xenophage · 06-17-2005, 02:30 PM

Various Inc, the parent company of AdultFriendFinder, ALT.com, OutPersonals, and Streamray has been carefully reviewing the new regulations with our legal counsel to understand what changes we will need to make to safeguard our company and you. We are committed to complying with the law and continuing to operating the world?s best adult dating sites.

Here are the changes that will be effective June 23:

· We are pulling all sexually explicit banner ads on our site. We will continue to provide banners showing limited nudity (breasts and buttocks) but will no longer show genitals or anything resembling sex.

· We will automatically replace hosted banners so if you are using our hosted banners, you do not need to do anything.

· If you have downloaded banners to your server, you must remove them and replace them with new banners from our site. Although we have collected our models' photo IDs and releases, we are making no representations that any sexually-explicit banners are 2257 compliant under the new regulations

· We will no longer offer geo-targeted banners with nude content.

· We are currently working to ensure all of our hosted TGP galleries are fully 2257 compliant. In some cases, we will be replacing images on those hosted galleries. However, we will not change the number of images per page or the general type of content.

· If you have used TGP gallery content on your server, you should delete those images and replace them or utilize our hosted galleries. Hosted galleries and images we have offered in the past will NOT be 2257 compliant under the new regulations.

Please feel free to contact our affiliate team directly by IM or e-mail with any questions you have. Since our affiliates use a variety of techniques to promote our sites, we will respond directly to most questions rather than on the boards.

Thanks everyone.

Well put, Lars!

I'll be on icq, if anyone has specific questions.

Thanks for the info.

Bump for people who don't know this is Aff and Cams

Chimmy · 06-17-2005, 03:02 PM

Thanks for the info. I would still like to know, as I am sure will others, how you will be handling the customer part of your business. i.e.

a) Will existing explicit profile images be removed from AFF?
b) Will new customers be required to submit I.D. that meets the 2257 record keeping requirements?

Knowing that the banners will automatically be updated with non-explicit images is useful. But the above questions cover issues that address the ongoing marketability of AFF.

If I.D is required, the sales will likely take a short drop. Webmasters may decide to stay with AFF regardless, but I feel it only fair that your affiliates be given the information they need to make a informed, intelligent business decision.

Hey Lars, Pleasure seeing you in SD

Bike · 06-19-2005, 02:23 AM

What about the geo iframe ads I'm using at http://www.easygals.com/main.shtml for example? I assume they will automatically not show any nude content anymore? Only saw you mentioned geo banners, not the iframes.

MyNameIsEmily · 06-19-2005, 04:21 AM

why dont you just move your operation overseas?

MyNameIsEmily · 06-19-2005, 04:25 AM

hell, why don't you stand and fight, pussy!

You should change your name to MyNameIsIdiot. What good do you think it would do to move overseas?

Please show us how dumb you really are.

Thank you, baddog.

Chimmy · 06-19-2005, 09:24 AM

I'm still very curious to see what happens after the 23rd. I for one would not interprete the new regs. to exempt any of the dating sites from requiring 2257 compliant records keeping.

We added a 2257 notice to that iframe. You'll just need to make the frame either scrollable or expand its size.
