I'm starting to wonder if people may have under-estimated MinusOneBit - GoFuckYourself.com

BoyAlley · 12-25-2007, 06:44 PM

LAWDS MERCY this turned out long lemme turn of teh yellows and teh ghey.

So ok he definitely seems off his rocker, but I have to admit, he's taken what started out as some minor board drama with NATs, and turned it into a full fledged tornado of shit fire.

I certainly see people on the board complain about "Bros" "Top Notch" "Stand Up" cronieism a lot. He seems to have taken what may be a serious situation, and effectively prevented it being shrugged off by the "Bros" (I think we've all seen the attack dogs out in full force against anyone that criticized TMM even before minusonebit went bat shit crazy).

Has he been libeling TMM / NATS? I have no idea, as I have no idea what the actual facts are. But what I DO know, is that if John actually sues MinusOnebit, and he doesn't scare off, it's going to court.

There, John would have to answer very specific questions under oath about what happened, when he knew about it, and what he did. Also, if it was indeed a hack, if they contacted the authorities, and if not, why not? He'd have to answer questions about OC3's accusations that they publicly made that John threated clients and their own company with lawsuits in order to keep them quiet.

Of course, these clients would then be called too, which means they'd be publicly identified as people that knew about this problem, but didn't inform the industry because, as OC3 has claimed in their threads, they were afraid of John and threats of lawsuits and/or license revocation. If so, would that amount to claims of extortion or coercion?

Again, I have no way of knowing what is or is not true, I can only hash out what's been said publicly in threads by various program owners, OC3 Networks, TMM John, MinusOnebit, etc. But if John takes this to court, we'll all know EXACTLY what took place.

I have to wonder if John is posturing hoping being served is enough to shut minusonebit up, of if he plans on going all the way with his legal action?

The question is, would the truth about what exactly happened be more damaging to TMM/NATS reputation than the things MinusOneBit has been doing, or not?

I guess time will tell, until then, I'll reserve judgement.

Doctor Dre · 12-25-2007, 06:47 PM

He's going a damn good job at keeping the drama on the map, he's just going too far... Instead of asking questions people don't have the balls to ask, he simply bash and tries to blow up the issue in mainstream media.

This will only end up hurting us all.

I agree that the Slashdot piece wasn't very helpful for the industry. This really isn't a "consumer" issue from my point of view, it's an "industry" issue, so taking it mainstream didn't make much sense to me either.

yep, putting this out where potential members can read about this and misunderstand the situation will definitely stop sales in an industry already suffering from an over load of free porn. fucking brilliant actually, if you're trying to harm this industry.

I'm sure he hopes it makes CNN. To me it seems he wants to hurt John's business more then he wants to help the webmaster community, because taking this mainstream is one of the worst thing that could happen to this industry.

No I can't, I keep my gay ass in the spotlight by running charity sig auctions that raise tens of thousands of dollars, talk about sitting on traffic cones along with other oversized inanimate objects, and other faggy shit like that.

This isn't about TMM, it's about minusonebrain. TMM just had the misfortune to cross his path. TMM certainly haven't covered themselves in glory, and still aren't in the sense they haven't communicated fully with program owners, but there's been some real bullshit posted, completely uninformed, and totally malicious.

Well at least the bat shit crazy made it in there.

I think it's a dead horse now as it's being beaten to death six ways from Sunday. But he did bring it to light despite the 'bros'. Even 'top notch guys' couldn't hide the facts apparently on this that they knew before it because a bigger issue.

How bat shit crazy vs 'stand up guys' plays out will be interesting. However this drama's peeked, and it now little more than both sides making themselves looking like drama queens bent over and waiting on some BoyAlley tongue service.

I think John makes himself out to be the biggest idiot and loser from all of this. He was so worried about what minusonebit was posting that he kept arguing with him and threatening to sue him that it eventually turned into something bigger. I can understand John wanting to protect his company, but come on it is minusonebit. The guy has no credibility around here, what does he do again? exactly. So John should have just said what he minusonebit was posting was false and left it at that. Instead he argues with someone that no one believes anyway and it makes John look worse for it. Because IMO he should have been focusing on real damage control and not board pissing matches with idiots. He should have been working with clients affected and trying to regain their confidence not replying to trolls on GFY. If he would have replied to him " i can understand why you are so mad and to some extent we deserve your bashing for having allowed this to happen" and then just ignored him, he would have went away.

I don't think what minusonebit is doing it right, and I don't think John "deserves it". But if John would have handled it better things would be a lot different now.

They brought up legal to scare him and it backfired.So they lit the fuse. lol
What was bullshit? People keep saying that. Has anyone from nats gave a definite answer what was taken and what wasnt or do they not know? People are showing things that happened in Oct, here and other places and it wasnt minusonebit. Besides being dramatic where did he lie?

dial · 12-25-2007, 07:04 PM

if this goes to court it will be there for a VERY long time

remember, xclusivecash is still in the DISCOVERY phase with TMM in the lawsuit that started a year ago

this shit will go on for years, and with the lawyer power that TMM has, I hope minusonebit is in for a helluva fight, because John will keep him in court for years to come

and what sucks for minusonebit, is that John will file in NJ, so minusonebit will have to keep going back and forth to NJ constantly

Which does more harm?

a)Keeping the bullshit certain people in our industry do under wraps so our industry doesn't look bad?

b)Bringing the bullshit certain people do in our industry to light so maybe, just maybe, we can get these people out of our industry and show that we DO give a fuck?

If what minusonebrain says is true, then it sucks that it takes a racist password sharing coward who's not even in our industry to step up and do something about it.

A Michigan hacker who posted Ameritech customer billing records on the

he and the company may settle the matter out of court.
The Web site, http://www.ameritechcable.com, has not been accessible since
earlier this week, after a federal judge in Grand Rapids, Mich., ordered
owner Keith Kimmel to shut it down.

John has no jurisdiction over me in New Jersey. I have not been to the State of New Jersey for at least five years, the last time I was there was to attend the Trenton Computer Festival that college puts on. He can file there, but it will be pitched out and he will have to refile it here. If for some reason the trial court fails to grant my motion to pitch it out for any reason, we move to whats called an interlocutory appeal, where the judge's decision is appealed before the trial takes place, the appeal is heard and decided and then it gets remanded back to the trial court to be tried consistent with the appeals court decision.

John and his legal team will keep coming back to Oklahoma. OKC is not a bad place to stay, and I am the sporting type. I'll see what I can do to round him up some good deals on hotels and dining in the area. After all, the more money I can save him the more he'll have to satisfy the judgment rendered in the cross claim. Any competent counsel knows damn good and well about the jurisdiction issue and therefore filing it in New Jersey is acting in bad faith and in every state it is a crime to sue someone simply for the pleasure of suing them when you know that by doing so you will cost them unneeded expense and should John's company proceed anyway, I will immediately counter sue John's company for all expenses related to defending against it.

Unlike any of the other suits he may have filed against his customers, New Jersey courts have no jurisdiction over me because he has no contract with me. I am not his customer, never considered being his customer and now for certain will never be his customer. I assume the contracts he has with his clients contain a provision whereby they consent to NJ state and federal courts for litigation. That works for them. It wont help him with me.

You know what, if someone got any boneheaded ideas like that AND actually acted on them (I am sure that plenty of people have gotten the boneheaded idea already, though) this issue would NEVER go away. So like I told John, hit me with your best shot. Make it a head shot, too. My life insurance only pays out if I am dead and a grazing I might make it through, would be all the pain with none of the gain. That would be waste.

Why did you actually break the law to make a point. Couldn't you make them aware of the hole in their security without going through it? What is your mentality there. To prove a point? Break the law to show people it can be broken? That logic reminds me of anti abortionist who try to kill doctors.

Were you baiting them looking for a legal fight. Seems to me that is what you did with John. Since you have been in so many court cases are you a "rebel" type or do you actually profit from them and that is how you make money?

Again what do you do in the adult industry? Do you own an adult website, send traffic as an affiliate, something else ?

this adult webmasters, the same ones that say they are going to kick everyone's ass and then when they go to the shows nothing happens. You really think someone is going to put out a hit on someone over them running their mouth on gfy ? When someone actually punches someone then maybe i will think there is a slight chance someone could be so stupid to try to kill someone. but these people don't even have the balls to punch someone muchless killing them.

Ameritech WAS contacted before the story was published. They did not return calls or e-mails to their corporate office. They deny ever being contacted. The legal fight was already underway, they were already bitching internally about the use of the ameritechcable.com domain and already had the site on their radar to shut down, and a friend of mine had been holding ameritechdsl.com (long before most people even knew what DSL service was) and he pointed it at my site and then we both decided to make it a public issue.

BoyAlley, I don’t know if you ever bothered to go to college but what kid does is basics of Business Law 1001 class. You hire any attorney and he will explain some things to you. His whole thing is for John to contact him and pay him some money to shut the fuck up. From what I can tell he did get settlement once before, and surely looking for another. I sure hope NATS go through with what they say and just wear his ass down. He’s got no income, no attorney is going to work this shit ‘pro bono’ . The other thing is, even if you win, what are you going to collect from 20 year old needle dick that delivers newspapers for living and goes to las vegas community college.?

At least someone is keeping it on the map. It seems a lot of sponsors have decided the cost of moving from NATS is not worth it and will say anything to get this off the map.

I have asked some very specific questions that John will not answer, will not or cannot?

Questions related to exactly what did he fix when it became obvious his system was compromised and how. It took posters here minutes to find the problem in NATS, the login, times, IP and other things. So what fixing did TMM carry out?

John claims he warned "at risk clients", seen any come forward to verify this?
Yet it appears he did threaten people who were going to make it public.
Did he change the system to make the IP locking down default or did he keep the compromised system default?

I'm not sure about this but maybe others can tell me. Did John tell people who complained unique email addresses were getting spammed that the problem was in the end or not. In the last three months? Remember it's after he "fixed" the problem.

Fucking A Right! In all the polls I ever ran (and for those of you who remember that far back, I polled like fucking crazy) the main barriers to entry for anyone joining sites are all trust related. Fear of info being shared, fear of being billed doubly or triply, fear of not being able to cancel, fear of non anonymity on the bill... Nowadays all the free shit must top those issues but they are still major factors. This shit hitting mainstream media is going to cost sales.

So is it best to get rid of the rotten apples or hide them?

TMM certainly haven't covered themselves in glory, and still aren't in the sense they haven't communicated fully with program owners, but there's been some real bullshit posted, completely uninformed, and totally malicious. __________________ Clockwork Cash - ICQ: 355-26-288 / Email: admin AT clockworkcash DOT com Asian Paysites : Exclusive Content : NATS or CCBill Thai Cuties : Shave Asians : JAVondemand

I think it's a dead horse now as it's being beaten to death six ways from Sunday. But he did bring it to light despite the 'bros'. Even 'top notch guys' couldn't hide the facts apparently on this that they knew before it because a bigger issue. How bat shit crazy vs 'stand up guys' plays out will be interesting. However this drama's peeked, and it now little more than both sides making themselves looking like drama queens bent over and waiting on some BoyAlley tongue service. __________________ Should You Email Your Members?

BoyAlley So Fucking Gay Join Date: Nov 2004 Posts: 19,714	I'm starting to wonder if people may have under-estimated MinusOneBit LAWDS MERCY this turned out long lemme turn of teh yellows and teh ghey. So ok he definitely seems off his rocker, but I have to admit, he's taken what started out as some minor board drama with NATs, and turned it into a full fledged tornado of shit fire. I certainly see people on the board complain about "Bros" "Top Notch" "Stand Up" cronieism a lot. He seems to have taken what may be a serious situation, and effectively prevented it being shrugged off by the "Bros" (I think we've all seen the attack dogs out in full force against anyone that criticized TMM even before minusonebit went bat shit crazy). Has he been libeling TMM / NATS? I have no idea, as I have no idea what the actual facts are. But what I DO know, is that if John actually sues MinusOnebit, and he doesn't scare off, it's going to court. There, John would have to answer very specific questions under oath about what happened, when he knew about it, and what he did. Also, if it was indeed a hack, if they contacted the authorities, and if not, why not? He'd have to answer questions about OC3's accusations that they publicly made that John threated clients and their own company with lawsuits in order to keep them quiet. Of course, these clients would then be called too, which means they'd be publicly identified as people that knew about this problem, but didn't inform the industry because, as OC3 has claimed in their threads, they were afraid of John and threats of lawsuits and/or license revocation. If so, would that amount to claims of extortion or coercion? Again, I have no way of knowing what is or is not true, I can only hash out what's been said publicly in threads by various program owners, OC3 Networks, TMM John, MinusOnebit, etc. But if John takes this to court, we'll all know EXACTLY what took place. I have to wonder if John is posturing hoping being served is enough to shut minusonebit up, of if he plans on going all the way with his legal action? The question is, would the truth about what exactly happened be more damaging to TMM/NATS reputation than the things MinusOneBit has been doing, or not? I guess time will tell, until then, I'll reserve judgement.

If what minusonebrain says is true, then it sucks that it takes a racist password sharing coward who's not even in our industry to step up and do something about it.

Computer User 4/13/01 Scrap over anti-Ameritech Web site may be over http://www.computeruser.com/news/01/04/13/news4.html by Dick Kelsey A Michigan hacker who posted Ameritech customer billing records on the Internet, and was slapped with a court order to shut down his Web site, said he and the company may settle the matter out of court. The Web site, http://www.ameritechcable.com, has not been accessible since earlier this week, after a federal judge in Grand Rapids, Mich., ordered owner Keith Kimmel to shut it down. A temporary restraining order, issued Monday by U.S. District Court Judge Richard A. Enslen, directed Kimmel to stop using the Ameritechcable.com trademark, halt publication of customer data, and cease posting instructions on how to break into the Ameritech online customer database. __________________ -uno icq: 111-914 CrazyBabe.com - porn art MojoHost - For all your hosting needs, present and future.

Phil Confirmed User Join Date: Jan 2004 Posts: 7,659	BoyAlley, I don’t know if you ever bothered to go to college but what kid does is basics of Business Law 1001 class. You hire any attorney and he will explain some things to you. His whole thing is for John to contact him and pay him some money to shut the fuck up. From what I can tell he did get settlement once before, and surely looking for another. I sure hope NATS go through with what they say and just wear his ass down. He’s got no income, no attorney is going to work this shit ‘pro bono’ . The other thing is, even if you win, what are you going to collect from 20 year old needle dick that delivers newspapers for living and goes to las vegas community college.? __________________ Ask Phil
