OFFICIAL STATEMENT: Adult Webmaster Empire's stance on supporting Adware&Spyware - GoFuckYourself.com

Mickey_ · 10-26-2006, 11:43 AM

Hey all,

In light of recent discussions about sponsors' stance on supporting adware/spyware I'd like to take this opportunity to express our thoughts and views on the issue.

Adult Webmaster Empire DOES NOT SUPPORT ADWARE NOR DOES IT ALLOW ITS AFFILIATES TO SEND TRAFFIC VIA ADWARE/SPYWARE. We have a zero tolerance policy on this and if we come across an affiliate breaking this rule their account will get canned immediately.

Views differ on whether it's ethical or not to use such methods to gain more traffic. Our message is plain and simple: We do not support these methods. No more, no less. Every affiliate program has a choice to make and this is the one we've made and stuck to from the very beginning.

We're confident that our products speak for themselves as straightforward no-registration-required live cam chat sites and strongly believe that we do not need to utilize such methods to get the most out of them.

If you happen to come across affiliates violating the above described zero tolerance policy of our program please feel free to email me with details.

rick-e · 10-26-2006, 12:07 PM

adware sucks

Zarathustra · 10-26-2006, 01:03 PM

good stuff

OzMan · 10-26-2006, 01:20 PM

I never get tired of these threads. Thanks for stepping up

Mutt · 10-26-2006, 01:20 PM

that's a cheap shot at Legendary Larry! don't ever forget - he was FORCED - and I trust him on that - Zango plays rough - Legendary's mom is probably being held hostage or something like that.

marketsmart · 10-26-2006, 01:46 PM

well thats good to know

madawgz · 10-26-2006, 01:48 PM

super

Steiger · 10-26-2006, 02:13 PM

good stuff!

mortenb · 10-26-2006, 02:22 PM

Very nice. One thing though, you are still open to abuse by others. You should really make sure your names are trademarked and have your legal team inform the spyware programs that you will not accepts anyone bidding on your trademarked terms. That way all your bases will be covered.

chemicaleyes · 10-26-2006, 02:24 PM

Kevsh · 10-26-2006, 02:30 PM

Nice to see AWE stepping up with a clear, zero tolerance stance

clickricky · 10-26-2006, 02:30 PM

could not agree more

scottybuzz · 10-26-2006, 02:37 PM

good! n1

While i do realize the wit in your posts, i'd like to make it clear: this post isn't about taking a shot at a person and/or a company. it is meant to make clear where we stand. no more, no less. it's up to each program to make a decision and it isn't our responsibility to determine whether the decision they've made is right or wrong.

We're on it, but your input/suggestion is definitely appreciated.

To everyone showing their support in this thread + on- and offline: THANK YOU!

natas · 10-26-2006, 03:44 PM

awesome news mickey

Bake · 10-26-2006, 03:57 PM

Good job.
While I applude you I would still like to see the industry put some $ up and pay for programers to write exe files for removal of zango and products like it.

Brujah · 10-26-2006, 05:30 PM

Excellent news. Great to hear another solid program doesn't think they can't make money if they don't support scumware.

Adult Webmaster Empire rocks.

Kimo · 11-16-2006, 12:36 PM

excellent

thank you for taking this responcible stance

livejasmin converts like whoa, and I'd hate to have to stop promoting you guys

AWE fucking rocks!

Mickey_ · 11-16-2006, 02:17 PM

We're feeling the love...thanks, guys!

ps. send more traffic. ;)

chemicaleyes · 11-16-2006, 02:21 PM

lawked · 11-16-2006, 02:23 PM

Good.

For those that support it, I say we fight fire with fire. Get a few good russian programmers to write adware that installs "with the users consent" (lol)

Then, only trigger ads on the site that are in direct support of these assholes. So like, any surfer floating around AFF will get a popup to the competition for every page that loads. Seems only fair to me.

ajrocks · 11-16-2006, 02:43 PM

Good for you guys. It's the right thing to do and everyone knows it.

minusonebit · 11-16-2006, 02:46 PM

Good. Who will be next to step up and claim their honor? Because if you haven't made a statement like this, you're part of the problem and not part of the solution.

american pervert · 11-16-2006, 03:02 PM

nice move mickey! good seeing you in l.a.

digifan · 11-16-2006, 03:38 PM

I just saw a privatefeeds.com from livebucks.com popup on zango when I tried to go to livejasmin.com. Not sure if they are bidding on your site name or general cams keywords.
