Maybe I am wrong?

I can just tell that the outfit is not a scam on the user's of the product nor a scam on webmaster's. Clearly they are trying and growing.

you are the first person to bring the word "scam" into all this

The other problem I have with your description of the situation is that you talk about "bugs" when the complaints are about such things as traffic leaks and poor stats. Bugs are errors no-one intended: someone actually designed Fleshlight to be as it is in respect of the things most people are writing about.

Oh. How exactly does your "working night and day..." statement jibe with comments from others, such as those saying they contacted Fleshlight long ago about the traffic leaks and were specifically told they were staying as is.

Im going to repeat this one more time.. Lets see if it sinks in.


The ENTIRE program is being redone. It was never setup from the begining to handle a super large affiliate program. If you know about oscommerce (and I know some others on there know what I am talking about) the affiliate setups that were out there to work with osc were barely passable. They did the job, but very poorly.

Does anyone here REALLY want them to
A. Totally shut down the whole affiliate program while they retool, or
B. Waste valuable programmer time on fixing a program that is going to be scrapped in the very near future?

C. what I mean? :winkwink:

Lots of people have made, lots of money for years on this program. Its frankly just having severe growing pains, and its time to start over. End of story. Give Ramos some time to get the things that need done done. Im sure alot of you would prefer he just monitor the boards 24/7 and answer the same questions you ask over and over and over again. :1orglaugh

you can be suspicious all you want, but frankly I could care less, you don't work for fleshlight and obviously you have some alterior motives...maybe because ramos bought you a drink once or high fived you a few weeks ago

Actually Ive spent quite a bit of time with Ramos in the last few months. We sat in his room and talked all about what was going on at Fleshlight yesterday. I currently run a program using oscommerce for a backend, and I know EXACTLY what the problems they are dealing with are. Im going through EXACTLY the same issues they are. And for the record the only drinks bought for me by anyone are the sponsors of the shows who pay for the open bars. :thumbsup

Wow you must really be hitting your fleshlight hard ;) :pimp :1orglaugh :upsidedow

There is no need for mud-slinging in this thread by anyone regardless of the reason. If you have a genuine concern with fleshlight you would hit ramos up directly. Every program has growing pains at some stage and I'm sure that any issues will be ironed out and fleshlight will contine selling like hotcakes.

pimp on!

No wonder you're getting up in arms over this - you're good mates with Ramos. Personally I don't have a problem with Ramos, wouldn't know him if he stood up in my soup BUT he seriously pissed me off with the idiotic response yesterday. :mad:

I can tell someone has been drinking the Kool-Aid :)

What does using oscommerce have to do with traffic leaks, not answering their ICQ/email/phone and insulting small webmasters?

ONE LAST TIME!! They are TOTALLY REBUILDING THEIR PROGRAM FROM SCRATCH!! Now WHY would they WASTE TIME on fixing a BROKEN program that is going to be scrapped in a few short weeks?? Maybe they are having trouble answering requests due to the fact that they are busting their asses fixing the problems that the affiliates are contacting about? Maybe many of these issues are answered on the affiliate page itself?

Listen its not like me and Ramos call each other every night and have phone sex and pretend we are cuddling long distance.... Ok well not every night... :winkwink: Im by no means best buds with Ramos, but I like Ramos. He and Juicy were two of the nicest people to me at my first show. Both made me feel welcome. Went out of their way to do that actually. People like that deserve respect. Classy people get my business and my respect.

so then, explain insulting webmasters...is that because they are fixing the issues and the ramos bot malfunctioned?

I dont send many sales to fleshlight, so I would actually be in that category... The difference being I had enough sense not to bitch and cry when its been stated that the program is being retooled. :2 cents:

so, just so my notes are correct here

it is all right to insult and treat the little webmasters like nothing, because they bitched first?

LOL

I think a lot of people are bitching about the TREATMENT they got when complaining ... and you are just perpetuating that. Telling affiliates they don't matter is just silly -- it makes no difference who it's coming from or what the circumstances are.

I'm not surprised you don't send many sales -- you have a "small time" mentality.

I wish you the best, though .. not trying to pick a fight.

I wish! I tell many of my clients that, as we begin consulting relationships. After I got back from the whirlwind that was Silicon Valley 1997-2001, I became a firm believer in making sure the ship had the right course BEFORE we set sail. I get seasick trying to read the map out on the ocean.

Axeman 05-13-2006 02:11 AM

A couple days late here. I have a feeling a job was on the line, and this post was a demand from above. It will take far more than this simple post to correct all the wrong and mud slinging you've caused the past few days.

Very well put.

justsexxx 05-13-2006 02:36 AM

I think many ppl are missing the point here. It's not a problem he is often away to shows etc. What is wrong, is the fact he ignored the posts on GFY, and said something like: Juicy blabla(so he DID read them). Then he started a thread with fuck the haters, and laughted at people with 1 join....

That is wrong....

Fair enough BUT at the same time - we as affiliates have concerns and they were met with idiotic remarks.

IMO that's not 'classy' that's just plain dumb. I hope they are able to create a new program that removes traffic leaks and answers affilate questions rather than disrespect affiliates...:thumbsup

flashfire 05-13-2006 03:13 AM

fleshlight is a good program they just need to work some kinks out...I have tried most sponsers and fleshlight makes me more money than 95% of others so if they ever get things worked out they will be one of the best if not the best program of its kind. some people are just haters

words out now Juicy - we all know about your new affiliate program

www.juicyshandjobs.com

For $29.95 a month Juicy will give you one handjob a month :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

studiocritic 05-13-2006 04:35 AM

juicy, im a lurker - but if you wanted to, for example.. start your own fleshlight knockoff, and start your own affiliate program.. you'd do very, very well.

your post the other day about the state of your relationship with the fleshlight program seemed genuine. i can put you in touch with some people who can help you with low-volume manufacturing, financing, and such.
