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.

sig spot :D

I'm hardly being rude smoke :) Goes to show you, you can't tell mood, attitude, sarcasm or what people REALLY mean on the net.

Guess you understand DGs position now.

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.

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

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?

everything has been said hence, i'm sending love to DatingGold and this thread bears no purpose except malice.

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

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.

Ouchies :ohsnap

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?

Mickey, you've got a huge motherfucking sig, anyone told you that yet?

That's cause he's a HUGE MO FO :thumbsup:thumbsup

what grade are you in?

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.

I tell Allan he is a Chump Pussy Bitch Ass Nigga once a week, and for some reason he still got my back.

smokey's rep. > online dating sponsers

Point taken, in hindsight the thread title may have been a bit over the top , keep in mind it was supposed to be "???" not "!!!" in the thread title

The only reason I came to this thread was because I saw Smokey posted it, and he's not someone I consider a troll or a surfer. I was a bit disappointed when I read the whole paragraph of post, but am not horribly surprised that the title of the thread has been changed.

Well said:thumbsup

Holy shit, that BlackHat forum has got a lot of fucking members.

I wonder, though... could they have picked a more hideous design / color scheme?

The only thing anyone truly noticed in this post is who the Bro's are.

Honestly, the words/actions of owners/programs in this thread about makes me want to vomit in my mouth just to have something to swallow.

You could get the penis... :2 cents:

what do you mean? which words/actions?

Start on page 1 and maybe read again?

https://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-business-discussion/919705-datinggold-com-disgruntled-affillate-hands.html

i rly don't give a fuck, i read the thread once, your opinion isn't worth a reread.

just figured i would ask is all. jeez

Well man, do you want me to go back, and quote the people for you?

Owners thinking it hurt them, actually making threats, others jumping in to suck bro cock, all pretending like a rep got hurt or something... ONLY because it's a buddy. <-- see that, if it was me or you, it wouldn't be the same.

2 things here
1 a webmaster who rings a bell
2 owners trying to learn the webmaster he is not correct

are owners thinking surfers are on this board? The income is from there?
Cause me reading this as webmaster, care to know what I think?

I need more of these postings to see the real deal, and I am not waiting to get my eyes blurred by sponsors tickling each others asses. Facts we deal here with.

Fact is also that this banned webmaster is unknown... must all be a joke?
or cause we are so focused on trying to correct smokey that this thing gets whipped away to the background?

The adult industry prides itself with honesty, and yet, GFY is still doing her job, ringing bells and knocking on doors....Also, reading this , sponsors hate these kind of confrontations, they even hire a couple of sigwhores here that jump in post 2 and ask if you yet emailed them about this....

GFY is about this... Fucking with sponsors...Deal with it, and make sure you got some reps who make it all go away on the moment it is created. If you dont have that power, yeah, running behind facts ends up in calling your expensive 250K lawyer.

End of my webmaster opinion, back to work. see ya all...

Although I didn't have a chance to see the thread title as it's original state, which I assume is the same as what the thread title at blackhatworld was, I know for a fact from my years being here and seeing how Smokey posts, he had no ill will and didn't mean to harm any reputation of DatingGold's especially for sig views...

Also I haven't dealt with DatingGold (user), or AK much, but I love the fucking shit out of Jayvis, even when he's sends me weird face pictures over xbox live, I'd have his back for anything, good fucking guy. I don't agree with how DatinGold (user) threatened to sue Smokey to "make a point". It was a little over the top, especially to continue with it.

Agreed, Jayvis caught wind of me trying to get a hold of him and went out of his way to get online just to answer a few questions for me... I'm not even an affiliate!

When you put in the money he does in advertising on this board, maybe your opinion would matter, but obviously you haven't, so how about you shut up and stop complaining?

When you're a top advertiser you have more lean on what you can do over being a troll.

P.S. Cool story bro!

AWE is a cam sponsor. DG also has a cam site in their portfolio.

Bros? Is it in my interest to be buddy buddy with them? Quite the contrary, from a slimy business point of view it would be in my interest to leave the thread as is, expecting affiliates to skim through the thread not get the joke, and decide against DG, thereby increasing our chances for signing up those affiliates.

Instead, I'd like to believe there's mutual respect, both personal and professional, therefore we don't have to resort to such methods. Respect as opposed to "being Bros". Additionally, if i did not care about Smokey, i would not have spent the time writing a reply to try and explain a business owner's perspective. And the way i see it the point got across, if i thought he lacked the comprehension skills i would not have spent the time. Yes, the forum is called GFY but that does not mean it's a playground where anything goes if it has the potential to hurt someone's business.

Which one would you rather have more of? A few business owners trying to share their point of view with an affiliate or affiliates telling a female representative of a program that she 'could get the penis'? I'm not saying not to have fun, but let's get real and let's act a bit more mature. (it is not my intention to single anyone out, merely an example)

Using the "Bro" blanket statement/excuse to try and explain something you don't understand or don't agree with will merely lead to increased hostility between affiliates and program owners.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Sending my friends creepy pictures over Xbox Live is my favorite thing to do. :pimp

damn this spilled

Well, anyone that only read the title and didn't click on it, affiliate or not, didn't think anything bad of DG. If they did, you didn't lose an affiliate or anyone important.

Anyone that did click it, and saw what he posted, clearly wouldn't think anything bad of DG, not that they ever needed to click the thread.


After that point, it was a reverse attack but only Programs over something that is totally retarded in the first place. Something that a "professional that did nothing wrong" would have laughed off, joked about, made quotes about.


And so you are clear, Bro doesn't mean friend, buddy, or fag partner. It's your backing, your online butt buddies that will stand up for you even when you're wrong.

rude thread title, but legally I would guess that the disclaimer he had in the title (the "maybe") was enough to make the title ambiguous enough to not carry any legal ramifications, just a guess though..... but it was still kind of rude of him unless he was really trying to cause grief for dg :2 cents:

thx for expanding on your comment.

i think the *poking* struck a chord for many who've put blood, sweat, and tears into building their brands.

it's simply pride in what has been built.
