So instead I can just hope that you stress your ass off thinking you got infected. You get what you deserve.

Fuck you.

Well I'd say this has gone really well.

If anyone else would like their product or service reviewed let me know.

I'll review it here, and then review it again on 4chan as an added bonus.

On a side note I just paid my TMM bill for Nats. I was a little surprised the price had gone up, looks like I got upgraded to tier 2 nats because I went over 500 sales last month. - Even with a few malware reports, even without any help from all you superstar affiliates and keyboard warriors.

So excuse me while I go back to making money.

If anyone wants to offer any real help my ICQ is in this thread. I am looking for:

1) Help with an existing dating site - need NATS integration
2) Skinning my NATS install
3) An exgf site. I need content and design. I have the domain and want to try the adultsitecms script on it which I already bought and is installed.

Do I have to go back and count how many complaints about me not posting the link?

Do I have to go back and count how many times I said it wasn't ready?

If you're going to write a long detailed review of something it only makes sense to do it after you have it working and can provide a working sample, otherwise it just sounds contrived. I'm curious, how did you makes some sales with it, when all of your premium upgrade banners underneath the videos simply refresh the page?

Agent 488 08-04-2010 09:33 AM

Most of my sales came from the inline ads in the videos that were embedded on other sites.

But thanks for that, I hadn't noticed I needed to put the join link in that banner.

Yesterday you are new, today you are making 500 sales a month :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

With a site that is barely 3 months old... and infected.

Sorry but even as a neutral your story is pretty far fetched. :2 cents:

I also worked with Barefootsies with one of his packages. I started right around the time people were hating on him and I was a little cautious about making the deal. But once I started talking to Barefootsies I realized how professional he was. (After all, he is working and making deals with some of the most respected people, k0nrad,zuzana,prez, etc), so that was reassuring , knowing they wouldn't risk their reputation working with a shady person.

I paid full up front instead of paying the monthly installments.
Same with Pompousjohn, I am very happy with how it all worked out. Barefootsies was very professional, provided everything he offered, and was always quick to answer any questions. Even now, months later he sends messages asking how everything is going and if there is anything he can do. He offers a great service and takes alot of the worry out of getting the ball rolling and dealing with finding a designer, script, content , and hosting. And at un-touchable prices.

Also working with k0nrad has been a great pleasure. He offers unlimited support for mechbunny and he is ALWAYS understanding and willing to help.

I took the Zuzana design route, and again I couldn't be happier with the results. The work was done in a timely manner and the quality was superb.

The entire transaction and process was completely smooth from start to finish. Barefootsies is great to work with and I highly recommend doing business with him. He is a great business man , mentor , and all around good guy.

:thumbsup

Ok, so what does referring joins have to do with NATS? Just wondering. I mean I refer joins (at least every now and then) but I never felt the need to have NATS installed for that. If I was running a paysite I might have a NATS install.

So, like I say, just a question.

Barefootsies 08-04-2010 11:01 AM

Eight to ten hours later and going strong. Heh.

So let' see. Three different clients (that can be independently verified) have chimed in about doing tube sites, and happy with their stuff. Loch, and Zuzana have chimed in about knowing these clients and also working with them. Eric or Barry could run IP traces and see that all of these people are across the globe, and no where near Michigan. Verifying they are not me, yet the Barefootsies fan club still claims it is me and I am copyrighting public statements? Hilarious really.

Although I did enjoy people baiting DJ to post up my personal image, which he does with glee and earning his ban again. I always appreciate some good GFY hippocracy. Post up my picture over and over, and then when you're own is posted up, I get sent a DMCA notices within a few hours when his own image has been posted on GFY. Classic.

In the end we have the same group of idiots from other Barefootsies threads saying the same old shit. Sometimes having to reply back to back to back with their hatred. Despite claiming they had me on ignore in other threads. Heh.

Oh well. Historically, no matter the number of Barefootsies threads, none of this will stop sales in the end. That is why I can offer hosting, content, design work, scripts cheaper than almost anyone else. I close sales and keep clients happy. But the haters get to have their fun doing the same shit as a dozen times before until it gets out of hand as usual.

Carry on.
:pimp

So, like I say, just a question.

Ok here's like, an answer.

Let's say you are brokering over 100 grand per month in joins to various programs and suddenly some of them start randomly not paying up, closing, trying to sidestep you and take your affiliates direct, etc.

You want to build your own program but you don't know that much about it. You join GFY and start researching, you find out most of the best affiliate programs are using NATS. TMM does a special where they waive the setup fee for new customers and you jump on that. About the same time Paul Markham has a bulk package cheap and you make a quick site with that, hook it up to NATS and ccbill and start brokering traffic to yourself using existing pipelines. A few months later you get another bulk deal with The Duck. Eventually you notice all your sites kind of suck (not the fault of the content, just needed more of it) and you want something that sucks a little less.

Barefootsies comes along offering a pretty huge amount of content for a monthly payment that won't necessarily break the bank. Plus he's offering a nice script and design work.

So you get a tubesite and add that to your program. Traffic is already there, you get instant joins and eventually some malware comes along and hits your site.

Shortly after you post a review of the transaction on GFY and everybody thinks you're Barefootsies. The rest of the story is in this thread.

I think I have explained myself enough now. I will answer legitemate questions but seriously I was just trying to return a favor and post a positive review of a transaction that I thought went well. It was mostly just to be polite. I didn't realize I would have to sell it to you guys so hard.

I am beginning to realize that there is nothing I want from any of you guys that I could get by making you believe me.

If I want something I pay for it, usually upfront so you can believe me or not, most of the more antagonistic assholes in this thread aren't even really offering anything at all, much less something I might want.

But I do thank them for all the bumps. I guess my next thread wont have to start with "most of you guys don't know me".

The Porn Nerd 08-04-2010 11:24 AM

FUCK ME JEBUS! Last night, at 4 in the morning, this thread had 1 page. Now there's 4 (and counting).

Barefootsies bringing the pain again, I see.

Now, I commented that BF is all right, got called a possy for it (?) and BF didn't even thank me for chiming in. That's it - I'm gonna be a h
Hater now.

BAREFOOTSIES YOU FUCKING - wait, what's the going insult these days?

Some GFYers need to be gettin' some lives, methinks.

Alrighty then. Thank you.

Now, if you had just not done the post with the "laughing your ass off if someone got infected" crap.

I am not a BF hater and I am glad you had a good experience.

I posted the screen shot from urlvoid to show where the malware warnings were coming from. I went and researched a bit for you. Your stuff that you are checking with might be having you come up clean BUT you have an iframe in there that is pulling in a fling ad (promo.fling.com.....) and that page is being reported by several of the black lists so you are getting reported by inheritance on some of those lists.

You should (imho):

1. remove the fling iframe. Best not to do an iframe anyway (again just imho). If you can help it, never give control of your page over to someone else no matter how much you trust them.

2. go to the various lists and report that you have cleaned the problem. If you just wait to fall out of the database you are going to be waiting a helluva long time potentially.

Just a suggestion.

Amazing testimonials...you have to give barefootsies credit, at least on the fact that he is able to hook and reel in fish.

The true test is if they are still singing his praises (or even in the business) 6 months or a year from now.

I wish the nOObs best of luck, because I hate to see anyone get ripped off in this biz.

How would I get ripped off? He lived up to his agreement, its up to me to make it work from here. If it fails its not his fault, this is a testimonial saying that he provided me with everything he offered.

Your post was actually helpful as is this one and I will be hitting those lists up, like I said I am also getting the database transferred to an alternate url that is clean as far as these lists are concerned, when that is done I will redirect traffic to the new site.

Yeah fling is coming down, they are making me some money but not enough to make up for being a potential traffic leak.

Say something negative about his spamming and shiitty tube newbiw traps and you're labeled as one of just few of his haters on here, when in reality it would be easier to name the handful that don't despise him.

Come on man, you know I have no beef with you or that other dude. When I was referring to people in these threads. I was referring to the usual suspects named in my O.P. (post 19) about it. I did not mean, literally, everyone in the thread.

Well said. If people put as much passion into their own business as they do hating and trolling complete strangers on the internet. They would probably be the next Bill Gates, or Warren Buffet.

But as we've seen from the usual suspects in this, and other threads. They apparently think this is grade school, and some popularity contest. Being liked, being hated,....like it matters in the end.. Which it doesn't.

I jumped on it, signed the contract and sent off a down-payment pretty quickly.

You go from "bootstrapping a program with no cash" to signing a contract at $500/month with absolutely no idea of how much will be made. That sounds pretty stupid to me.

The guy is totally competent and the actual design works great.

You mean design wasn't included in that $500/month contract you signed? What a rip off..

So... you "can't get simple shit done" and "can't remember how to format a simple link" but you can totally handle editing smarty templates?

I had already paid for a month of more expensive hosting and he credited it on my next bill. This was totally unnecessary since I would have paid the higher price and never known the difference but it shows he?s not trying to make a fast buck but is really interested in building long term relationships. This is something I always look for and try to keep working with people like that while avoiding the other kind.

So, you were screwed into paying for hosting you don't need, with money you don't have, but you are fine with that because you want to build a long term relationship. Gotcha.

They sent you a million uniques for what reason?? I've never seen someone create malware to send traffic to a random newbie on GFY.

(it will be in my sig when I decide to have one)

If you are "getting some paid joins" then why not post the results so people can decide if the "package" is worth it or not?

The mechbunny script offered is not the same one you will find described at mechbunny.com or in this thread http://gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=980667. It is modified to make it a paysite and so many of the traffic tube features are not present. It is simpler and I am told by K0nrad that he would want about $1,000 to upgrade from this version to the full traffic tube license. I would have liked enabling user commenting and other social features as well as the mobile version, but I understand that for what I paid I did get a good deal plus I find that the features provided fit my skills and experience level just fine and I don?t know what I would do if I had to fight an army of spammers commenting all over my tubesite. At some point I will be buying the upgraded license because based on what I have seen I believe it is worth it.

Sounds like you got screwed again. Why is the script trimmed down? Is this script part of the "package" or did you pay extra with the money you don't have?

It wasn?t part of the script before that but a custom feature he setup for me. He did this simply, and elegantly in a way that made it seem ridiculously easy and made it very simple for me to plug the tubesite into my existing in-house affiliate program and start making money with it immediately.

How much did they charge you for that?

I respect you doing business on GFY.com

I dont need to "do" my business here tho. However...trying to insult me that I do not have a social life is just funny after 35k posts in 5 years and seeing the screenshot of the dating profile. Sometimes silence is good.

:winkwink:

Actually, that would say more about you and your buddies. Let's start with your lies..

1. That you call some old college network a dating site. It isn't.
2. That it's clear that it was not current. Read the stuff mentioned on there.
3. That people, with these booming social lives, have time to cyber stalk strangers.

Starting with some old deleted profile from some old social network I used to belong to in college. More over, that the usual suspects keep posting up images that have gotten at least a dozen people banned in the past 4 months. Not including posting up my home address, and making other fake profiles.

Nothing says success and booming social life like any of those examples.
*wink wink wink*

Here's a tip for you ace. If you do not want to be 'insulted' then stop firing salvos over my deck. I am a fairly laid back guy, but if you are going to keep taking shots at me. Expect some bitch slaps in return. I am only rude, or nasty, to the asshats who keep fucking in my direction.

Are you saying that its not normal for 40 year old guy to post adds on college sites and tell girls he wants to suck their toes for few dollars?

By "no cash" I meant not enough cash. I had to build part of the program and wait for cash to come in to build more.

Prez' design was included, Zuzana would have been extra. BTW it's not 500/mo indefinitely, the package was 3,000 I am paying over 6 months and have 4 months paid already.

I cant edit smarty templates but I can change links around in PHP and change the wording of text if I can open it in a text editor and find the part that needs editing. Sometimes I can even put up a banner or two.

I wasn't screwed, I was offered a discount for going with the hosting, also the hosting secured the loan. I evaluated the price and the value offered and agreed to the deal. I enjoy having an extra box in my program although I may consolidate at some point. It depends how much growth I see in the next few months.

A hacker got into my gmail account. He got a lot of passwords out of there and I have been scrambling to change them all. I am pretty sure I got it all now. But before I did, he got the ftp and it looks like the root pass for my box where tubemarvel is hosted. He installed his malware there. After it was installed doing whatever it does it appears the same people running that malware sent just under a million hits that seem to be either skim traffic or I dont know what to the site to infect those people also. It's also possible that my site just got genuinely popular but I doubt it. I have not been able to find my backlinks at any of the supposed referring sites and the second I removed the malware the traffic stopped.

Cause its not really anyone's business but mine and how much I can make with a site has nothing to do with how much you or anyone else can make.

I felt that way at first and talked to them about it. I am OK with it now, and that is why I pointed that out in my review. It was something I misunderstood at the time of purchase and it could have been clearer so I am making it a little clearer for those that follow. It's also one of the reasons I got ruffled that people thought I was shilling for BF. I guess they never read that part. It is a criticism, however politely worded it may be. The few features that I am interested in from the full script package I will have enabled piece by piece. I am glad I didn't have commenting enabled when the malware attack was going on. I don't know how many comments I would have to delete or what kind of google results they would have got me.

They said they might charge 100 for nats integration depending on how complicated it got, but they never invoiced me and since it seems to be an advertised part of the script now I am guessing I won't be seeing that invoice. If I do I will pay it, eventually.

I still want more than I can afford or handle, so it's still relative.

I haven't bothered to jab at you while answering your questions but I should point out that I am not missing the fact that you are being kind of a dick.

You're business is your own bud. No one needs to post up links. The majority of the trolls in this thread are not even flying sigs, nor do you have any idea if they are even in this business full time. More over what they own. You do not need to answer to them.

A pay site, or a tube pay site, works very different to a traffic tube that has a social element. Especially when it comes to the processing piece. Which (I am explaining different for rest of GFY interested) is why a lot of those features were stripped out. If you are running a tube pay site, at least like I sell, you are licensing content. You do not need sponsor imports, spiders, ad rotators, user uploads, embed codes, and some of the other junk in there.

A couple of years ago when I started my first tube pay site, it was built on the original MechBunny platform. 80% of the shit in the admin I would never use. So having it all in there was a waste. Konrad and I put our heads together, and basically developed his XXXCMS version.

This was tailored to those who were doing tube pay sites, and had a much cleaner interface, and was set up for managing it like a pay site. Including processing, and other b.s.. So Konrad had developed a special version which I would use for my consulting clients and could get them into at a less expensive price point. A win-win for everyone.

As those were selling like hot cakes, we opted to expand it out of just my client base into a public offering. So I could push even more business. So I partnered up with content providers, and then started the hosting, and we began pushing even more volume. Keeping everyone busy.

I even hired a tech to join my web hosting support team that works directly with Konrad (as well is emergency on call person should I need one). He does the deployment of MB client servers, all the set up for what the server needs, and preps it for Konrad so he can just come in and bang out his work on set up and testing. He is even directly available to Konrad for anything he needs on a server, or hosting-wise so Konrad does not need to piss around in my normal support channel. This make the best experience for my clients, Konrad, and myself.

The traffic tube version has those social elements, spider, RSS, importer and other things that are more conducive to those looking to build traffic or social network type of tube. Not working a membership pay model. Also, not all processors will allow you to do that. So it is a good business model to have two of them.

I can still sell the unlimited MechBunny cheaper, among other content, and design discounts, than cost for those who are my hosting clients. Through my various networking and associations, people get a good deal versus paying retail.
