Do respected paysites do this?

Do they put dialers or other exe's in people's desktops?

Well do they?

I was ashamed to see one of the biggest paysites do this to me dammit !

I'll never visit paysites they hurt our industry more than TGP's dammit.

Amp. are you familiar with Prisoner's dilemma?

Thats what paysite scene is all about. They have to use very aggressive advertising because their competitors do, too.

Everyone would be better off if no aggressive adrvertising was being used.

Maybe surfers dont click banners any more - not because of TGP's - but because they are taken to a pop up hell and sites that put dialers in their desktops dammit.

This is true with anything... unless you happen to be the only one on the planet selling a particular thing, you're gonna hafta constantly try to out-do your competition... that's why they call it..... *competition*.

Yeah, and we'd all be better off if we held hands in a big circle and got wide on Ajax and sang Kumbaya too.

Sorry... nature of the beast. Paysite owners are gonna do what they gotta do to stay out of the red.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Yes thats right. Mr Dover is a tough guy.

Also competitors can negotiate.
It's not just holding hands and singing together in a big circle. I hate to see every paysite turn into a pop up hell.

you need to format that bitch now.

I never did understand all the fuss about dialers. WTF??? I've been to countless sites, and have never once had a dialer self-install and dial something up without my knowledge. You gotta allow the fuckin' thing onto your system in the first place, and secondly... . if you do happen to be on a dialup connection, do you not realize something is up when your connection severs and dials a new number? Are dialup modems completely silent now? Shouldn't there be a clue screaming at you when you suddenly have access to all kinds of porn from one place, but can't reach any other sites?

I don't get it.

And yes, they still can trick me to get an exe in my desktop. Happened twice this year.
Not to mention a newbie surfer - happens every day probably

And its not just about dialers
If you can install a dialer exe
- you can install any exe

I still don't understand mika...... why don't you simply stop installing the exe's? Unless it's some software program you're downloading, why would you install an exe for any other reason?

Amp as a designer - would you rather use your creativity in designing a nice tour that sells OR use it for finding new ways to trick the surfer and even a seasoned webmaster?

Or do you use it to both?

I just create the things. 90% graphic work, 10% html. I use very specific html in every single site. What the owner does with it after delivery is out of my control.

First of all I'm drunk........yes...again....! But what wonders me is why is everybodyu so pre-occupied about what's on other pages.
I keep reading....that site does this......that site does that.....
It's not your fucking site is it? So why bother? If you don't like it
don't go there or don't trade/sponsor with it. What makes you believe that you can be a censor for others?

I'm probalby talking busslshit right now....so please forgive me....
it just popped into my mind...now that I'm dwunk!

okay, yes.... tricky... but unless they actually modified the buttons, it sounds like you simply didn't read the alert box.

Dyna.

If you own a store selling booze and the other store owner is poisoning the booze he sells, wouldn't you be concerned at all?

Of course people should talk about what their competitors, partners etc do..

We're in the same business dammit

Bad example, so you want a good example? Why? You got the point anyway cuz you called it an "example"


Damn it's a tricky one - I close a normal window and the exe gets auto-installed

In some degree yes....but on the other hand no. If my competitors are trying to screw people they will most of all hurt themselfes. If I don't follow my competitors and just be fair to my opinion I will get rewarded for that....might not be inmediately but I am in NO way entitled to tell others how to run their business! I may not agree with it....but that's another thing.

Never try go get better by putting others down.....they will do that themselfes.....just concentrate on your own stuff. If the public thinks it's better they will chose you!

of course.... but they're not doing anything illegal mika. They're not poisoning people, (to be metaphorical here.) It's just business. I don't like the fact that Microsuck makes you call them for codes after you've done 6 *upgrades* on an XP machine.... I think it fucking blows. But I'm certainly not gonna waste my time standing outside Bill's office with a sign over it.

Curiousity about your competitors is normal. But ranting about them because they found a way to make some extra bling bling that you don't happen to agree with because it makes you delete something.... to me seems a waste of breath. And I'm not saying you can't rant about it and express your thoughts.... just that, I honestly don't think anyone is going to stop doing it just because you don't like it. Know what I mean? I hate popup windows... they pollute the fuckin' Net and aggravate everyone. But there is absolutely no point in me bitching about them, because no one is going to stop using them just because I hate the things.

I think it depends on the nature of the paysite, whether it's aiming for member retention or trying to milk their members for as much as possible in the trial period. I don't think any paysite owner that had invested in a good members area, with frequently updated quality content would want to chase people out the door with stuff like that.

Everyone would be better off if no aggressive adrvertising was being used.

Maybe surfers dont click banners any more - not because of TGP's - but because they are taken to a pop up hell and sites that put dialers in their desktops dammit.

thats not quite the prisoners dilemma but close enough

You know Mika your profile says your in Finland, which is most probably why you got a dialer on your desktop. (at least it didn't auto dial...LOL)
Redirecting foreign traffic to a dialer page or just auto downloading the dialer is a pretty common thing these days, since your odds of finding a foreign customer with a valid CC that will make it through the processors scrub are very slim.

I highly doubt they do this to US surfers.
They may, but since you haven't said which paysite it is we can't go see for ourselves.


On another note, unless the surfer is paying for a membership who gives a flying fuck what they like or don't like?
In case you've forgotten, webmasters own the web, not the surfers. They're our domains, our content, our bandwidth, and we can do whatever we want to with our sites, if the surfer doesn't like it then don't come back to my site. Simple as that.

Tired of getting slapped around by free sites? Buy a fucking membership.

True. Howewer, such paysites are only hurting themselves and other paysites.
Who wants to click a banner when they KNOW that when they did it last time they were tricked into a pop up hell-

and people are wondering why surfers in TGP's wont click banners..

That's bullshit, if consoles didn't make money then no one would use them.

There was a time when all there was on the net was CJ's and paysites. You could search for hours and not find one free pic or video clip, and have your browser crash a few times along the way.
EVERY adult site was a pop up hell, and you know what? Sales were a fuck of a lot better than they are now.

We were material girls in a material world and if you didn't have no money, you couldn't see no pussy

I really wish people would quit regurgitating the Hun's point of view on consoles and come up with something original.

the people that hang at TGPs on a daily basis that won't click banners are, (ready for this?) *Dedicated LifeLong Cockstroking Freeloading Fucks". Like Lenny said, I give a fuck what they like and don't like. Tired of getting jerked off with popups and shit? Buy a fucking membership. You get what you pay for in this world. And if you go surfing for nothing but free porn, you should expect to have to search high and low to find it and go through at least 4 billion popups and dialer download attempts.

The surfer is not your fucking friend. Fuck him. When he finally decides to bust out his credit card and actually pay for something, the membership area of a paysite will treat him the way a paying customer should be treated. But not before.

If you wanna give away mountains of free hi-grade porn with no popups or anything else so that the surfers will *like* you.... go for it. I'm sure that philosophy must work somewhere. No doubt they will love you for it. Tons of free shit, and never have to spend a dime, and wait! It's even browser friendly!!! No popups! Woohoo! Let me tell ALL my friends so we can burn up your fuckin' bandwidth while we stroke it to all your awesome free porn!

Yea yea I wasnt talking about consoles anyway but getting tricked to an auto installing dialer.

Or actually I wasnt tricked - there was nothing I could do.

Of course consoles make money IN SHORT TERM but if no-one used consoles EVERYONE would make more money in LONG TERM

However, that is utopia, the main point is that I wouldnt wanna see really good paysites turning into self-installing tricks sites.

Amp again you quote the most irrelevant line of my post.

The point here is that everyone blames TGP's for ruining the industry, while paysites themselves are fucking the surfer and doing it pretty bad.

Some paysites, that is.

I dont give a fuck about TGP's nor do I defend them
