It was A PART OF MPA2... it wasn't a module. It was just there. Whether they wanted it or not. Does that mean they OBVIOUSLY used it? No.

My TV comes with a sleep function... that means I obviously use it right? Wrong. I just turn the stupid thing off when I want it off. I don't set it to 30 minutes.

I think Oystein confused you with someone else to say that he thought you were "informed".... cause I've never thought that about you, and this just confirms it.

If programs were so concerned about the shave module in MPA2, they could've simply chosen something else. I know of a few that did. If you wanna argue, try doing so without name-calling. Makes you look petty and stupid.

As does making assumptions. You know about them right?
And you still aren't reading. It wasn't a module in mpa2. It was built in. It was a great program otherwise. Some programs wanted to use it, since it was the best at the time (NATS wasn't even around then)... but they didn't want to use the shaving feature.

Of course, you know that, right? You wouldn't just assume that a program would automatically steal just because they were capable of doing it.. right? Right?

Wait . . . you mean to tell me you are going to choose a piece of software based on whether or not it has more features than what you need/want?

That is like saying you are sticking with DOS because Windows has that annoying calculator function that I will never use.

I?m guessing you won?t do that though because you?ve probably been advised by someone who knows even a little programming that the code not ?shaving? as you?ve implied? Perhaps next time you should do that BEFORE you start a thread slandering a company?s reputation.

I?m also still waiting to hear more about this mysterious ?someone? who sent you the URL in the first place.

There are alot of programs that I worry about shaving my stats, but Naughtybank is not one of them.

Those guys should teach other programs how to run a site that converts and rebills. I have people rebilling for over a year on their site.

Keep rocking and rolling guys, you've reached heights few couples with a website could ever dream of. Don't let threads like this bring you down.

Thanks for you words of support. I?m sure the majority of the people will see this for what it actually is however there?ll always be that 10% who prefer to come to the boards and stir up baseless drama rather than use their time to pursue more productive endeavors. I?ll never understand why?

Mpa3 never had a shave module you said. You never had mpa2. Then why do you have this anti shaving thing?

Once we heard about this thread we went ahead and removed the unused file to a few programs (older MPA3 installs) to make sure this type of un-reasoned threads started again. Funny thing is that the file in questions said "NO_SHAVING" which in my vocabulary is pretty straight forward. MPA3 = NO_SHAVING.

Here is a link to a newsbit you might or might not have seen: http://www.xbiz.com/pressrelease_piece.php?id=10993

It reads:

"Mansion Productions Pursues MPA3 Misconduct
Thursday, October 27, 2005

LOS ANGELES ? Mansion Productions, whose suite of software products streamlines paysite administration, has issued a notice of termination to a user of its popular MPA3 affiliate software.

The user was found to have altered MPA3's source code. According to a top Mansion Productions officer, "We discovered that a certain affiliate program had deployed an unauthorized module that seriously tampered with Mansion's own code."

These changes could have potentially affected the integrity of affiliate data. The officer added, "We wanted to nip this in the bud to prevent any further abuse of our product to potentially create inaccurate affiliate data."

Mansion Productions has zero tolerance for this type of activity, and has engaged counsel to take appropriate action.

For more information, visit www.mansionproductions.com. "

We take this more serious than anyone else, obviously being one of the most scrutinized affiliate program softwares in the industry due to the fact that we are an industry leader... And, I hereby invite you to come to my office and choose ANY of our programs and do a revision of the source code.

Any time. :thumbsup


That doesn't change the fact that with MPA2 you made it easy to fuck over webmasters. You sold software with a build in shave module you never thought it would back fire on you?

I will NEVER use a program using your software you helped programs owners STEAL from honest webmasters in my book you are scum.

That's a tad harsh... and as I said, I'm kinda anti-mpa myself over the whole shaving fiasco. But as I also said, some programs just liked the software and wanted to use it for what it was, and ignored the shaving functionality.

Not all programs are bad because they have an MPA package at some point.

I hate Microsoft for their crappy software but I'd never stop doing business with anyone who uses Windows because of it.

Ofcause there were honest programs using MPA2 that would never shave.
But you know as well as me there are programs that used it because it was there and the temptation were to big.

I have nothing against NaughtyBank or any other program running MPA3 but there are so many sponsors its easy to find a replacement.

Temptation is a bitch. How can I trust a program that used to have a shave module?

I just can't shake it out of my head that MPA did have a shave feature and kinda still stay away from affiliate programs using that program.

Franck, Verbal Kint, TheSenator, and all others with questions are hereby invited to come to my office (bring a PHP and SQL expert if you dont know it yourself) and get full access to the source code to see for yourself how it is built - and stop being so childish and accuse top notch people of things with unsubstantiated rubbish.

This is business, not a kindergarden, and you should treat people like you want to be treated yourself. This is ridiculus.

Jayman stood up and said what is right here and you should listen to him and other well respected program owners alike.

If you dont take my invitation serious, then you are not serious yourself.

Call me anytime to schedule it all. We are located in Los Angeles. Looking forward to seeing you all here.

one thing i don't understand is if there was a shaving feature in mpa2 then the tables in sql would be named mpa2_ etc.

so the php removal tool would have to alter the mpa2_* stuff. it would not be altering mpa3_* unless there was some sort of shaving feature in mpa3.

that is unless of course you just decided in mpa2 to plan ahead and call everything mpa3.

Im not saying they shave...

I just wonder why that code is there if they never had mpa2 and there is no shaving module in mpa3. Looks like nobody is gonna answer that.

Theo 04-23-2006 12:12 PM

Oysten, possible you are right but comments like "offesting webmaster fraud" put MPA back to old status in the eyes of many webmasters. What would be really smart is to come up with a straight attitude and admit you were aware of what you were doing and you have regretted it.

2HousePlague 04-23-2006 12:17 PM

This reminds me of a story called "Family Doctor". A middle-aged couple and their teenage daughter all go to the same doctor.

First the man has his appointment:

MAN: "Doc, I need some condoms."
DOCTOR: "Why? You are married and I gave you a vasectomy last year."
MAN: "Errr... I am fucking whores on the side."
DOCTOR: "Hmmmkay... here's a box of a dozen."
MAN: "Thanks, Doc!"

Then the wife has her appointment:

WIFE: "Doctor, will you fit me for a diaphragm?"
DOCTOR: [Scratches head] "... sure."

Then the daughter has hers:

DAUGHTER: "Put me on the pill, Doc."
DOCTOR: "I can't... you're only 15, I need your parents permission."
DAUGHTER: "Hmmmkay"

A month later the Doctor has made an appointment with all three at the same time, unbeknownst to them. Surprised to see each other there, the Doctor sits them down and says:

"I have test results back and some news for each of you."

To the man he says: "I have good news and bad news. Which do you want first?"

MAN: "The good news."
DOCTOR: "Your daughter is not pregnant."
MAN: "So, what's the bad?"
DOCTOR: "I've been fucking her in the ass for a month."

Then he turns to the wife: "Same goes for you, I have good news and bad."

WIFE: "I'll take the bad first."
DOCTOR: "You have genital warts."
WIFE: "And the good?"
DOCTOR: "You are also not pregnant."

Finally, he turns to the daughter: "Well?"

DAUGHTER: "Gimme the bad first."
DOCTOR: "We're breaking up."
DAUGHTER: "Awww, what's the good news?"
DOCTOR: "I called the Family Planning clinic across town and they have a great big box of condoms for you,."

The moral of the story: "Protection" is a relative term.

Jake: You think i have something to benefit by accusing you of shaving?

I didn't say or imply you guys shaved. I just found that link VERY interesting and thought i'd share it... if there is nothing wrong with it, then you guys have nothing to worry about.

the fact that you guys took the page down though, probably made it look worse then what it was. :2 cents:

Not really. That "page" shouldn't have ever been web accessible to begin with. By taking it down they corrected the error.

Why would you have posted this thread if you didn't want to cause harm? Releasing something like this to the wonderful assuming folks of GFY was only going to lead to problems. You should have known that. Actions like this only show how you don't think before you act.

Told them that years ago, but they like to play it like the Bush admin and hope everybody forgets...

MPA3 is a great software, and I dont see anybody here question that. People are questioning the integrity of the people behind it.

Not sure if this is correct or not, but I think when a MP3 is installed, what is done is first copying or renaming ALL old tables into new tables. From Mpa2 to Mpa3
To speed up that process, you first do the rename / copy part, verify data is handled correct and THEN you "drop unused" fields.
Setup process is usually done through scripts, like the SQL script (did not see the code, was 404), since they had a lot of old customers wanted to upgrade, and most likely a lot of new customers because of the version update, then I could suspect they delay the "boring part", wich is writing new install scripts.
As they would already have a install script for Mpa2, and they already have the database converter script it is most likely a lot faster setting up the DB for Mpa2 and then do the upgrade to Mpa3.
Then you dont need "2 sets of install scripts", 2 sets of install scripts is also bad, especially after a version update since you need to change same data 2 places, giving higher riscs for errors whenever a bug is detected.
I do have a server with a Mpa3 copy installed, no longer active, as a programmer I ofcourse spend a lot of time going through all the files (many are encoded though) and also spend alot of time going through the database structure, and there was absolutely nothing showing evidence of any kind of shaving mechanism build into mpa3.
Oystein your office is a long way away from Denmark, can you just E-mail me the full source instead?? :pimp
