This is an urgent message to anyone who works with MensNiche / Lativio / Total WebWorks.

Scott Trimble is no longer working for our company and has NO AUTHORIZATION to deal with any accounts or any business dealings on our behalf. If you have currently been dealing with Scott Trimble then please make all future correspondences to Darren Beale [email protected] ICQ 46335817 or alternatively Andrew Slack [email protected] or if you are an affiliate then [email protected]

To affiliates,

We would like to announce a brand new affiliate manager Ben Lloyd (ICQ 341-743-085) who brings a diverse range of skills to an exhilarating role. Ben has spent years travelling around the world which makes him perfect for a role which requires working with affiliates from over 80 different countries. With experience from Playboy and Siemens, Ben is going to make a huge impact in the amount you earn!

Why the change?

Over the last 6 months our ?MensNiche forum? has uncharacteristically been rather negative and the reason is now clear.

Scott Trimble simply was not doing the job he was paid for; we would therefore like to announce the departure of Scott Trimble from MensNiche.

Although we taught Scott what he knows about affiliate marketing, provided him with a wage which was the highest in the company and three times more than the industry standard, flew him around the world to Florida, Las Vegas, UK and Romania and treated him with the utmost respect he seemed intent on trying to mess with a company that had made him what he was.

Over a period of 6 months:

- Scott neglected affiliate work and new designs to start up his own work on the side.

- Scott referred a designer to an affiliate and then provided sensitive sales information to that designer so the price could be ?bumped up accordingly? and ?kickbacks given?.

- Scott Insulted members of staff and families of those who gave him the chance in this industry.

At MensNiche we are a family but sometimes people mistake our youth and idealistic views as a weakness, we feel this is our strength. Someone like that does not deserve to be part of something special that YOU created.

As per usual we knew what was going on and already sourced an amazing replacement, someone who is 110% dedicated to making MensNiche the best affiliate program on the net, someone who has travelled the world and is ready to make you more money.

Ben Lloyd is your official new affiliate manager with MensNiche and its time to do things differently. It is imperative you make contact with Ben in any of the following ways:

I'm going to get in right about...................here.

no good...

No not good at all Trax and it was going on when you met him in Florida too, crazy stuff.

wow, shit....that dude sounds very shady

sounds messy to me - maybe next month

hmm, interesting stuff.

Does that scott guy post here? if so i predict 5+ pages

if he doesn't i predict 2-3 pages

He does yes.

This is crazy..I just joined mensniche a week or so ago and he emailed me (the scott guy). I then emailed him back about my game plan for getting started and he never replied back. Thought he just was too busy or didn't give a shit (female webmasters get this type of reaction sometimes...not usually but sometimes)

Well I am glad I know this I was just about to email him again and ask wtf was taking so long to get back with me.

BTW thanks for the info

Taking bets on that? :Graucho

That's fucked up.

Let me be the first to congrats Ben Lloyd and Mensniche ! amazing crew !

CONGRATS !

okay 5+ pages, everyone fasten your seatbelts and don't say the B-Word or the thread marshall will put a couple holes in your tushy.

Dayumn... drama!

Sorry to hear about that Darren, some people just like to take advantage of others and this guy sounds like one of them. No need for someone like that on your team. I hope everything works out with the new affiliate rep.

naah , no drama here , 3 pages Max
all affiliates were noticed by email early...

nah i don't mean drama about affiliates and menniche... i think that scott guy is gonna come in here guns blazin' :2 cents:

It will be interesting to hear his side of the story.

Wonder if that's gonna happen. ;)

ahh gotcha ! well , let's check it

I see Scott , I see my sig... ;-D

I certainly understand the announcement of your new affiliate manager. I can also understand a simple statement in your release noting the departure of this Scott dude. But it looks really unprofessional calling the guy out and detailing why he was replaced in a press release to announce a new manager.

Would have been much more impressive to simply note the new guy and all the things you plan to do to right your ship. It also makes your new guy look mighty insignificant when you spend more time talking about the guy he replaced.

I hope your new affiliate manager is also being paid 3x the Industry standard and will be flown all over the world as well -- otherwise he might feel cheated after reading this post.

This post made your youth look like a weakness, not Scott. Frankly, I would have never known there were any sort of problems with mensniche -- now I see there are and will likely never send traffic.

Onwards and upwards Darren, good to see you guys have your finger on the pulse, your actions and changes will only lead to more sales for me - Merry Xmas :thumbsup

Take a chill pill will.

And dont worry, I think their program will survive without your traffic.

Wow that is some crazy shit Darren. That really sucks though because you guys were a good team but I guess shit happens. I will see you guys in Vegas. :thumbsup

Its called honesty and it is the MensNiche culture and the way we deal with our affiliates, we tell the truth. The points we made about Scott to illustrate why we had to "let go" a popular member of our team.

GFX Wiz we could have posted a release and had days and days worth of speculation and then our affiliates coming on here to post the truth and it becoming an all mighty mess. By being honest up front we can get this over and done with.

Why was the other POV post from somebody working with Scoot deleted from your board then? sorry i'm curious...

Take the high road, man...always take the high road. The poeple who NEED to know, you can tell them...we didn't ALL need to know. Looks bad...even if you want to make it acceptable under the guise of "honesty." I honestly don't care about this guy Scott's shortcomings...has nothing to do with your company, moving forward.

Take the high road.

i don't tend to come "against" people when they have left a co., but if i recall well when i contacted scott about an unpaid balance from my previous company he replied to me the way someone would reply if he wanted to delay paying him. That pissed me enough to delete my mensniche account.

We signed up with Mensniche months back and it took the guy weeks to get back to us. Ignored ICQ messages, emails. So we just moved on. :)

god dam this came out of no where

Yikes a smear campaign. Remind me never to piss you off! :thumbsup

Darren, everyone here on GFY agrees that that is an unprofessional press release. I like you guys but you should have thought it over first.

I also spoke to Scott about turning on some high converting SE traffic to mensniche, after a few weeks of chasing him i gave up.

Judging from the others who had the same experience this cock deserves to be let go and should be smeared. How many sales were lost due to his inability to even answer a fuckin message.

I hate cocksuckers like that. Ignore me and you lost me forever, theres other programs who want to make money with me.

sending out an email to all affiliates, slagging of an ex employee, to people who couldnt give a shit about their internal politics, is going to make you more sales?

hmm.......

Sig placement :)

Rot roh. Damn.

:(

Everyone don't agree shit...blablabla. Don't speak for me. I'd much rather see shady fuckers called out in public. Same for fake nicks, scammers, etc.
