Good to see DN and Slick work this out - and as posted both probably learned from it :2 cents:

Good luck Slick :thumbsup

Glad you got it all worked out Slick.

Thanks Serge, those words mean a lot coming from you :thumbsup

Oh yeah, I forgot to thank everyone for all their support in this matter. I was impressed with all of the people that I had behind me in this, it did mean a lot and it did help me feel better in a time of total stress.

Good point Peaches.

People behind you is not always a good thing..... You'll have lots of people behind you if you drop a soap in a shower at maximum security correction facility
;)

OMG, I lost respect from people who don't know how business in the real world operates? And on GFY too??!! OH NO, WHAT WILL I DO! I have a closing on some property Thursday - do you think they'll cancel because of this? :helpme :helpme :helpme

Serge, you crack me up my friend ;-)

ROFL, ha ha ha, yeah, you definately have a good point there.

sig placement

nice to hear your update , now where is directnic.. they still left alot of questions.. Frankly , while i empathize with your situation , im not worried about you but about me ( no offense ). It would really be nice to KNOW the litmus test directnic gives sites before they decide to suspend them. We know what the law says as its clearly defined ( well mostly anyways ), but in this case it doesnt appear a legal decision was made bur more of a judgement call based on someones "gut feeling ? "

Seems the only litmus test is if you post about it on GFY, you lose your domains for a few days..

J, I feel real good 'bout the whole thing. Neil Armstrong wouldn't felt better discovering signs of life on the Moon as I feel discovering signs of intelligence on GFY
:)

thats a convincing argument, but we dont know that all of those cases werent just as illegal.. I'm sure unlawfull practises happen all the time we aren't aware of, that doesnt exactly mean we should just fold when it happens to us right.. ? the shawinternet had/has a little more background.. and was later proven to be unlawfull by the registrar ( well that might be a stretch actually , im not sure if you could actually prove tucows was unlawfull to pull the domain )

And infact i would think the shaw case alone would be a worrysome tidbit and certainly not something we should hope for.. as the domain was pulled just because of an allegation , nothing to do with the law..

....still better than posting anything negative about proggies run by 12 clicks -
you'd lose your paycheck forever.

Some of you people are down right fucking idiots! I will leave it up to you to decide who. Know it alls shooting off your mouths. Christ, stick a cock in it!

Smokey, you are an intelligent fella, most of the time, and I'll give you unsolicited advice, something I've heard back in a day from Webfather:
"Lots of innocent people burried on every cemetery"

The trick in this life is not to prove your innocense, the trick is to avoid getting "He was innocent" line on your prematurely installed head stone.
:)

I would have, but I am 2 inches short.....

lol true :winkwink:

Glad you got it worked out to your satisfaction Slick. Found an interesting article about working with the "Gatekeepers" (registrars) during challenges to free speech in the adult industry. It's a good read.

OK, BoyAlley - no offense, but you just completely showed your ignorance. Winetalk INVENTED board sparring. Back when you were probably still in grade school.

I don't know whether to laugh at you or feel sorry for you. :1orglaugh or :(

Are you really interested? Paypal me $2000 and I'll spill my guts. If you are not that interested, don't waste my time, there are other 23891 GFYers who are as stupid as you are and require my immediate attention.

analingus, is that what you gay boys consider the highest form of entertaintment? I bet you $50 that NOBODY ever licked your ass, and I bet you another $500 that you would have licked mine if I let you. You are enjoying me shitting in your mouth, don't ya?

This thread exploded. Serge, as always, the master of stirring the shit. I've missed you! lol!!

Sweety, I only stir shit because I wanna be ready for analingus Boy Alley might win in this thread
:)

i didnt read the whole thread so sorry if you already answered
but they are not even offering to give you any money for your downtime and shit?

I wonder if BoyAlley's sig will be worth less for his cluelessness or worth more for his ability to stir up shit by insulting at least 1/2 the people in the business? Will be interesting to watch..........

I guess I won't get neither $2000 nor Boy Alley's respect.
:(

OK, I'll settle for BoyAlley's analingus.....
will you mind that my asshole is a little dirty? I'll give you free mouth wash.

This is true and i totally understand where slick is coming from , he has no reason to be a martyr for the industry. But at the same time if everyone lays down we are letting our rights be trampled..

If it was me i would have done much the same thing as slick..


Its always a hard call when individuals have to make judgement calls and in doing this i would think it almost forces directnic to continue doing a job law enforcement should be doing and i think will quickly snowball. If another registrar just wanted to kill his competition they could simply send allegation to every domain at directnic and they will be forced to spend the manpower to investigate..

The steps are already in place ( 2257 ) to start enforcing some of this stuff legally, icaan and the feds should be cooperating and setting out guidlines for registrars.. to me its pretty simple.. If the domain is registered in the usa and has no 2257 , a warrant would be issued to the registrar to pull the domain . not the registrar doing it themselves based on nothing really. This would obviously ruffle alot of feathers , but i think it would be beneficial and give us a guidline to follow.

I doubt either of you is going to change the other's mind :)

what makes you say that? I see no mind in our relations,
I shit in his mouth, he analinguses my asshole,
we keep things very simple.

peaches is always so sweet but when 0pranoz shows up
she flips the script

Good words, bad business approach.
Stop worrying about "us", and worry only about "you". If "us" get out of business, "you" will only benefit from it. Let "us" perish, they are not your friends, they are not your relatives. Save humanity and the industry one person at a time, starting with "you", and just let "us" be. "us" is clueless on the most part anyway. Don't stand on the way of natural evolution.
