I think people often forget this is GFY and "fucking around" not "serious discussions on who is legit". Those of you who took the thread title in any way serious considering the content "lighten up".

For those that know me/trust me or would value my opinion in any way would understand it was meant to be a joke. If anything actually promoting dg ( i would consider it bad taste to do the same thing to a company i didnt respect i.e. potshot )

I have no problems with datinggold this thread wasn't even a poke at them , it was merely a funny reflection of that thread. Like a drug dealer complaining the judge didnt use proper legal procedure.

I guess i picked the wrong time of day or everyone is cranky lately cuz o the tubes lol.

If i could change the title myself easily i already would have done it before dg ever posted because in hindsight it was more inflamatory than it was meant to be ( !!! was supposed to be ??? )

I'll fly datinggold in my sig for a month with a "retraction" for free but i aint gonna do shit if you make threats or are rude, especially when no ill will was intended.
Do you realize how hard Dating Gold works to have an honest and clean and reputable reputation? When you hit enter, to publish this thread, you undid all that. A business' reputation is nothing to joke about. Calling them a SCAM is no joke. That's a serious claim that no owner ever takes lightly.

Why do you give a shit?

Redmanthatcould 08-04-2009 09:28 AM
Bad thread title.

And I love BHW...I get more useful info off there than DP. Probably 'cause they repost the good stuff off DP, so I don't have to there :)

I had 150 bucks a month from tier 2 with DG, overnight that went down to zero. There could be many reasons for this.. im not shouting scam. But I wanted to know why....

I added a few DG reps on icq and just got a 2 week runaround.
Silence/one word replys/promises to look into it.
I gave up in the end.
We take pride in our affiliate support team.
If you can tell us who you are, I can look it up and see what happens.

Because it's bullshit. If it happened to Dating Gold it could happen to us or any other well established company. As a business owner this is serious and can't be swept under the rug. Obviously there are ways to go about it. Everybody goes about handling situations their own way. I'm not commenting on that. I'm just commenting on the fact that creating a title with PROGRAM NAME is SCAM and it's supposed to be a joke is not acceptable. If I ran GFY i'd ban anybody who did that.

cmon now this is gfy , every sponsor has been called a scam/shave/etc at some point lol its almost a badge of respect. I didnt call them a scam infact I said quite the opposite i was merely quoting the thread that i posted the reference to.

The point of this thread was 3 fold .. 1 to laugh 2 to make dg aware of the thread 3 in some magical land that this guy had a legit complaint he couldnt get it solved there.

Do you realize how many people don't read the threads and just look at the titles? Ask Eric how many people hit gfy today? Then look at how many people hit this thread. The difference between those two is how many people read a title about DG being scam and don't know it's a joke.

2 and 3 are cool and could have done with hey DG heads up for you. Or maybe even an email to them. AK is on here enough he's easy to reach. Of course that wouldn't have brought in the views this title did right?

1 i still don't see what was supposed to be funny? All you said is some funny replies. That's it. What was funny about the post?

2. it's a blackhat world, we do not post there.

3. still trying to figure out who this guy is. he claimed to have made $6k/mo with us, and i still don't recall banning an affiliate with that kind of production.

If you can help us talk to this guy, we would ask what his affiliate ID is. I have a feeling that this guy is a hater or competitor.

If I don't have anything to look for, I am going to have this thread removed.

PS: Thanks Shap for standing up for us. :thumbsup

i'll try and find out some info if i can, but my bet would be he broke your tos because i have never heard ANY legit problems about datinggold.com , only good ratio's :)

Like i said sorry if you didnt find the thread funny , no ill will was intended , feel free to yank the thread.

Meeper 08-04-2009 09:59 AM
Yea I have to agree with Shap on this one, the title of this thread really should be changed. Saying you were just joking doesn't make a difference. No one can READ sarcasm through that title, seems like a pretty direct attack on DG and their reputation. Just my :2 cents:

sextoyking 08-04-2009 10:07 AM
Smokey,

I gotta agree with what Alan, Shap and the others said.

We have all been pissing on the boards from time to time over the years but to put that in the title of a board thread / post is going a bit far.

I know you said you were joking but it's true, people do read the titles and might / would get a bad impression if they saw that and didn't read the whole the post..

I might of put "this person called DG a scam" or something like that....

Smokey and Alan - Shake virtual hands, let the blood cool off and move on....

In a virtual world - reputation can mean alot or everything smokey :)

peace

Todd

IllTestYourGirls 08-04-2009 10:09 AM
I think anyone who says dating gold is hard to get hold of is a liar. :2 cents: I only do around 2k in business with them a month and they have gone out of their way a lot to help me out. And before that when I was doing less business they were just as helpful.

I'd bet anything he exaggerated his payout to drum up more sympathy. Funny how he says he's been with DG for the longest time, then says he's only received 2 checks.

true. i prob wouldn't be either, but i would have been miffed for all of 2 seconds, then again i couldnt appreciate your position or dg's since im not in it. Just saying , lighten up, no need to be rude , i wasn't. If it was seriously a "problem" to dg's rep , the thread can be removed, if that "truly" wasnt enough i could post a retraction incase anyone got the wrong impression, but trying to piss on me is a fruitless effort.

Guess you understand DGs position now.

GotGauge 08-04-2009 10:20 AM
I read the thread based on the words (Maybe), which is in the Title.
I believe he found some crazy stuff, posted it here on a board called Go Fuck Your Self!
I think everyone needs to just step back and drink some (insert beverage).
If someone is interested in promoting a company, and wont based on a Title on GFY, they have problems. Do a search in a SE, might be more threads thatneed killed..

IDK Everyone is right and everyone is wrong.

I think you are sexy. That's what I think.

Pleasurepays 08-04-2009 10:45 AM
why would any regular member of a black hat forum possibly being doing something against an affiliate programs terms of service???

doesn't even make sense.

no sense at all

Robocrop 08-04-2009 10:49 AM
I think a real webmaster would overlook this thread and find out DG isnt under the gun here. But I guess you want surfers as affiliates? :)

Anyway maybe the title could be better..btw what happend to the fight between hardsextube and Shap?

Veevee 08-04-2009 10:53 AM

well put. Like i said i apologise to dg if they didnt find it funny. I can't honestly see how it could "hurt" their rep, its pretty golden and this kinda solidifies that. I can see getting miffed but not for long..

perhaps i overestimed some people, the joke was , honest company + outrageous claim = thread views, people read thread knowing outrageous title + outrageous poster = funny thread , laugh and go on with their day after seeing funny content in referenced url.

Glad the funny wasn't lost on you :thumbsup

TheDoc 08-04-2009 10:54 AM
I clicked the thread title to read the thread... it worked.

Did I think it hurt DatingGolds rep, of course not.. Only a complete moron trying to be a douche would actually think it hurt them.

And it's GFY people, if you don't like it, go fuck yourself.


Different Bros different day....

Okay, instead of getting the thread removed I have asked Eric to change the title.

We are not trying to hide anything. I can't find who the affiliate who posted on the BHW, then I can't tell our side of the story.

We do not ban affiliates without grounds.

If anyone has any questions about our program, please ask us directly.

Thanks again Eric.

I have no dog in this fight and I'm on good terms with both parties, so my stance is neutral.

Smokey, let me try to shed some light, from a business owner's perspective, on why the thread title could be damaging. The main issue with the post is that you're assuming the people who read the thread title are regulars of gfy and are well aware of DG, the brand and their history.

You're not thinking of the potential affiliates that either just don't get the joke, don't know DG, won't click the link or don't frequent GFY regularly to understand the joke and are possibly left second guessing whether they should sign up to DG or a different program.

The two parties should find a way to undo the damage (thread title change, etc.) and just let it go. It consumes time and energy and does not generate any money.

Let's get back to making everyone money, shall we?

Well, for one, it's breaking this forums rules.

For other, it's simply disrespectful to other board members when your sig takes half the screen.
