Ice took a LOT of stress over this, and RIGHTFULLY deserves something for it. It was beyond the call of duty in my book.

hint hint eric

although Ice was JUST doing his job - this isn't JUST a job for him.

In the adult industry if you deny doing anything wrong you are in the clear. As long as you never admit to being wrong it's all good. You are a bro.
If you stand up like a man. Acknowledge and admit to what you did and try to do things to either fix it or move forward you are condemned til the end of your days.


I"ve done dirty dirty things for money in this biz I'm not proud of....

dialers, naughty cross sales, mobile, installs, etc....

I think it was a bad decision. I think the GFY owners were well aware of what some people thought of these tube sites and allowing TrafficJunky to skin the very board they contribute to is a stab in the back.

In the end money talks and I don't really give a shit as GFY gives me business and I got my own mouth to feed. I might have done the same, can't say for sure.

I don't really understand how GFY wants "battle true content theft in as many levels as possible" by doing business with tube8 but my English is pretty bad so I can only blame myself I suppose.

Spudman 09-28-2009 02:55 AM

i don't see why something like this was not posted before the skin went up, or atleast posted sooner.

Ask for forgiveness, not permission.

Exoclick 09-28-2009 03:09 AM

I'm just back from Amsterdam, there was some interesting debate about tube sites. Different ideas and opinions were exchanged in a respectful manner. Obviously, it's a super hot subject and some are very sensitive about it. But tubes are there, and they won't disappear anytime soon, whatever if you like it or not. I think everybody should try and look at it without personal feelings, and see how you can get some money out of these tubes.

The adult business has always been a step ahead from mainstream, it looks like with the tubes, the adult industry is getting blocked, while YouTube is cutting deals with all the content owners.

Anyway, was great meeting you all in Amsterdam :)

halfpint 09-28-2009 03:16 AM

Well I felt for ICE as I posted on another forum ..the poor guy took a lot of shit for doing his job :2 cents:

Nicky 09-28-2009 03:28 AM

What happened to the "data center move" ? Was It a ddos?

SleazyDream 09-28-2009 03:36 AM

how many new clients did the tubes get?

What's so wrong with that?

Better that it go here than somewhere else, right?

I could use the $100 free advertising that they were offering. Any of us could have. But it's more important to me to keep my ethics in place. It would be a smack in the face to all of the producers who get their content stolen. We have to unite or die and content theft is simply wrong. People who took that $100 sold their soul imo.

Edit: and so did GFY.

JimmiDean 09-28-2009 04:16 AM

Sorry man,
I carry a LOT of respect for you, but I am just not buying this one at all.
Taking money for thiefs to stop thiefs seems to be a weak argument.
The fact that is has been posted after the fact makes the argument invalid all together.
However the unbanning was a good move.

shimmy2 09-28-2009 04:16 AM

i must be living under a rock because to this day i've still never visited or a consumer tube site and dont know where to begin, how they operate, and realistically i dont care

That's because you are a noob, and don't know your ass from a hole in the ground. By the way, your entire post was pointless. Nobody gives a shit what you don't know, or what sites you have or haven't been to.

Answer: YES, 100% for the greater good! Our intention was to turn around and take all proceeds that would normally benefit GFY and immediately use them to battle true content theft in as many levels as possible. Additionally, we felt that this was a great opportunity to allow the community to gain awareness and participate in healthy debate. Leaving the choice of support up to the community and not us.

Bullshit!

Healthy debate, use the proceeds to combat content theft :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Fucking lying scumbag!

it is a nice spin though, i'll give you that. :1orglaugh

Relentless 09-28-2009 05:15 AM

Ice should be written a bonus check equal to or greater than whatever the tubes paid to skin GFY. No matter what else comes of all this, he deserves a lot more than a thank you and a pat on the back.

Dont mind me, I am just jealous... been too long since I hit the Dam :waaaaahh

Because GFY didn't really give to shits, UNTIL they realized there where really going down the tubes.

I don't post here very much, but I have to say this:

Ice, you are full of shit. This is nothing but massive back peddling on a scale never seen before. GFY thought they could run the skin like every other skin they ran, take the dump truck full of money, and call it a day.

You got caught, people are leaving this shithole like crazy, and now you suddenly re-write the back story to try to sound good?

No need to be so rude. Comparing him to a public official is just.. mean.

I don't buy the excuses for a minute. I think GFY made a terrible call here. But there's no need to compare them to Politicians.

I'd be curious how many of the people that bitched would turn down a premium pre-paid ad spot from Tube 8. I bet they wouldn't and would justify it to themselves by saying "eh, the surfers already know about this site, I'm not pointing them to anything they don't already know about, so I'll take the money."

Bye!

So wait.. If I decide to run a illegal tube and steal your content to make myself profit, you will see no reason to bitch?


why do I think of this gu when I read this topic?

I feel sad for you and this explanation. It would have been better if you guys just said, "Yup... we took the money. So fucking what?!?" But coming up with this half ass story is pretty lame.
