TO: FSC Managment Staff

I have sent this to every email address I could find, as well, but I wanted to be sure that someone saw this ASAP and hoped you might monitor the boards.....

For those that do not know me, my name is Tony Morgan and I own NationalNet. While 2257 does not DIRECTLY affect a web host like me, it is very important for the industry so I would like to offer some assistance over the next 48 hours in accepting new members into the FSC. I have read today in numerous threads on the boards that people are having trouble getting through to join the FSC. I totally understand that you could have *never* anticipated such a large increase in sign up volume so this problem was completely unavoidable. I, however, have a 24 Hour Staff and enough phones to help receive new memership sign ups and would like to donate that to you. We would not be able to answer many questions, of course, but we could take down membership information, run credit cards, or any number of other things to allow you to concentrate on more important issues. If you would like for me to put out the word that people seeking to join can call us, then I will go public with it and I am sure that I could get all of the major webmaster boards and lists to do a mailing tomorrow, as well. Let me know if I can help.

Whether you accept my offer or not, thanks for all that you do.

Warmest Regards,
Tony Morgan
President & CEO
NationalNet, Inc.

You really should email Michelle Frieridge, she's the director. I used to have her email address but lost it in a HD crash. :/

dopeman · 06-23-2005, 09:06 PM

bump.

hey FSC: ask for volunteers. i'm sure plenty of people here would lend a hand.

boneprone · 06-23-2005, 09:10 PM

They need a billing processor to step up..

Not being able to take money online is a serious issue.

BrutalMaster · 06-23-2005, 09:11 PM

Adam-EB · 06-23-2005, 09:17 PM

It took 25 times to fax our membership information over. It was busy each time, but I finally got through. However, they haven't deducted it from our card yet, so I hope their fax machine wasn't out of paper.

J$tyle$ · 06-23-2005, 09:20 PM

CLASS ACT AS ALWAYS, TONY!!!

Much love to you and Nat Net!

SweetT · 06-23-2005, 09:32 PM

{Blushing} Thanks for the kind words, everyone.

I was told by someone shortly after I posted this offer that the rumor is that they have some type of phone bank already lined up it is just not working yet.....we will see, but my offer still stands and I hope to hear from someone from the FSC soon because we could start immediately if they catch me before I go to bed tonight

I think hers is one of the emails that I sent it to already and am just awaiting a reply. I am sure her INBOX probably has a few bazillion emails in it right this second

V_RocKs · 06-23-2005, 09:44 PM

Cool words bro. I hope they take you up because the current system sucked 2 weeks ago.. I imagine it is completely jacked up now.

roscoe98 · 06-23-2005, 10:01 PM

Fax machine don't even answer now...just rings till you get some error tone

Karupted Charles · 06-23-2005, 10:08 PM

Tony you really are the man! The fact your hosting rocks doesn't hurt either. Glad to see you protecting our backs.

pr0 · 06-23-2005, 10:10 PM

Wow the people we have protecting the rights of the entire adult industry can't get some help keeping their phone/billing system up.

Mr.Fiction · 06-23-2005, 10:16 PM

They need to set up their online credit card processing right away.

Hi Redob,

That's exactly what we did before posting here

We sent an email to every addresss listed on the contact page AND posted here to "cover all the bases".

Thanks mucho for the information though...

Corleone · 06-24-2005, 05:03 AM

ATKCash · 06-24-2005, 05:22 AM

This has to be one of the finer acts of caring and broadview thinking that I've seen in a while. Tony, this is a 100% upstanding gesture.

When we met at the Bamboo Club in PHX and chatted over smokes, I knew there was much more to you than a comforting, familiar Southern accent... Good man!

SinisterStudios · 06-24-2005, 05:25 AM

Setting up an online way through credit card (which I don't believe seems to be an option, it's either by fax, phone or mail) would be quite helpful too, and no human interaction needed. Simply make it like a CCBill membership site or something, though minus the % charge; perhaps CCBill would give a lower %, they wouldn't have to announce it to the public, just would allow the Free Speech Coalition to receive more of the money; Tony said he can process CC's though as well.. Awesome, and huge kudos.

I'm guessing that's the problem. The processors we deal with are for adult and therefore their systems are set up to charge accordingly (including higher fees set by Visa/MC/banks). I'm sure it would be a LOT cheaper for the FSC to get their own processing.

ControlThy · 06-24-2005, 06:39 AM
