Candid Clicks is down again :( - GoFuckYourself.com

candidpublishinginc · 08-09-2002, 02:50 AM

Well Candid Clicks is down again.

The spammer started spam attacking us as soon as we went up.

At this point I'm not sure what to do....nor do any of my sponsors. They all said they would be just as fucked as we are in this sort of situation.

At this point I'm really wishing this spammer would stop.

If you're the spammer....why not contact me on [email protected] so we can settle this matter. I assure you whatever you say will be strictly held confidential.

candidpublishinginc · 08-09-2002, 02:51 AM

BTW you will all be compensated for the downtime so please don't remove your links.

ControlThy · 08-09-2002, 02:56 AM

Why not explain exactly what is happening?
Surely there must be a solution to this awkward situation you are in?

candidpublishinginc · 08-09-2002, 02:57 AM

For over a week now someone has been spam attacking us.

Sending out CP emails with Candid Clicks html pages....causing a flood of complaints and phone calls to come in.

We blocked noref traffic, we did fucking everything.....the complaints kept coming and eventually the backbone couldn't take the heat.....now we're trying to find a solution with them.

nocostporn · 08-09-2002, 03:00 AM

Candid I'm telling you,I'm 99% sure DK is involved in this.When all those flame wars went on at AWI and I was in it with him he spammed my email address out with my home address and phone number on two occassions.. 1)"Jon likes young boys dicks" 2)my address n phone and saying "we are shooting a movie at this location"... they are VERY deceptive over there and I notice your "attack" started the same day you guys got in an argument... don't put it past Bruce trust me... I'm sure he will say something here in his defense but ah well.. he's #1 suspect after all the things he's done

ControlThy · 08-09-2002, 03:05 AM

Candidpublishinginc,

Have you been in contact with any government agencies?
This individual is guilty of breaking several international laws besides attacking your business.

And remember this can happen to any of us who run an online business. Any information that can help prevent this from happening to others is more than welcome.

Hmm I just visited his page and noticed the warning popup.
Is he getting less complaints as he is still online?

If the 2 of you are being attacked there must be some sort of link.

Sorry, my detective mode is on ;-)

nocostporn · 08-09-2002, 03:20 AM

dude,i dunno...DK probably just put that up to throw you off...nobody would spam Dialerking AND you...there is absolutly no connection..You both hate each other so why would somebody attack you both?... Im still thinking its Bruce...He's done it before like I said... but ill stay out of it now

good luck once again

Theo · 08-09-2002, 03:52 AM

everybody hate dialerking

sternyduke · 08-09-2002, 04:09 AM

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, this is promoting CP, and he or she can be put away for very long time. And it doesnt matter that actual children are involved.
I would contact government agency.

It seems that you have a enemy. Most likely
cheating and terminated webmaster. There must be way to track him down.

LiveDose · 08-09-2002, 03:30 PM

Candid,

Sorry to hear about this problem. This is definitely a weakness in the functionality of the internet from a webmaster point of view. I have been through this a handful of times, twice where it greatly affected our business for 2-3 months. It's a pain in the ass and very difficult to find a solution.

In June a guy that I used to work with tried to extort a domain name from us. He went on a rampage spamming about 10 of our adult & non adult domains. Needless to say our whois email address was totally fucked with "non deliverable" spams and tons and tons of complaints. Our voicemail box got flooded, fax line and office phone as well. It was a mess. On top of this the income we were losing due to wasting our time with this is immeasureable (sp?). All of my and my wife's personal (address) info was included in these spams. I had to deal with all major ISPs on a daily basis.

Anyways we were unable to find any type of legal solution. It is very difficult to deal with ISPs and hosts in a situation like this. I was very lucky that at least my hosts worked with us and did not take us down. Anyways as a last resort I am sorry to say that the situation was handled physically the "old fashioned way" with baseball bats. Every other possible resolution was tried but nothing worked and it became a matter of livelyhood. Though we had one voicemail threat our lawyer said it wasn't enough to make a case and tracing these spam fuckers is near impossible these days.

While I would never condone this as a first resort the frustration level becomes very high as no one has figured out a good way to deal with this kind of situation yet. And I found that no one was really very helpful. You are basically "guilty until proven innocent". I wish you the best in finding the culprit and hope you are able to prosecute this individual.

-LD

eru · 08-09-2002, 05:48 PM

I'm a little confused. Candid, if this guy is spamming your program, don't you have his account information?

Rose · 08-09-2002, 05:53 PM
