How long have the processors known about these rules? - GoFuckYourself.com

Just curious. Some of them act like this was sprung on them suddenly, but one has made mention of doing their homework for months.

How long ago did you guys find out about these new changes?

I remember several different company representatives mentioning something big would happen in November, this was several months ago. Thanks for the one month warning, eh?

It appears to me a lot of these companies are being run REALLY unprofessional regarding this entire issue:

What they have accomplished now is having webmasters panicking, being totally confused and insecure. Read the forums.

Lots of European webmasters are shitting their pants, that's the reality. An insecure customer is unlikely to provide any good revenues... marketing 101.

Why not provide information on all of this BEFOREHAND, so people can prepare? No, they just send out some statement 2 weeks before the whole thing takes effect.

Makes you wonder where some of these guys got their MBAs at.

I believe Epoch, IBill and CCBill kept this under wraps because they knew that creating a last minute panic would work to their advantage. The less time webmasters have to comply, the less time webmasters have to figure out how to dump them or set up alternative solutions.

imo, all three deserve to be boycotted by the entire webmaster community for this.

edited to add: If Glo-bills solution is what they say it is, that might just happen.

I agree

We have all known about the rules for several months. There has been several draft versions that were released to us. Each time the next draft changed. Even after the final draft was sent to us. There were many unanswered questions. The reason I am sure that none of the other companies released this information was that we honestly did not have answers. To make an annoucement of this type without answers would have been irresponsible.

Thanks for letting us know 31 days in advance. Your help is highly appreciated toward the complete deterioration of the adult internet business, you unprofessional fucks.

You are not telling your foreign customers about this in advance although you have known for months?
I will talk to my lawyer now. You basically will shut down my company and that is entirely your fault because now there is no time to comply with this shit. I will consider a suit against all my billers.
