Thumbzilla, SexApe/PicWarehouse and our other Tgps Announcment
 

We've had alot of people asking us about our free sites and our removal of our submission script. This post is an update to what is happening.

Here are some questions I'm getting...

- Why was our submit script disabled?
Roughly 2 weeks ago Dweeks (owner of hosting company swiftwill.com) noticed a hacker break thru our X3 tgp script at 5am in the morning. This hacker was able to gain access to our PicWarehouse server. Luckily Dweeks was up and caught the activity. I have to say Dweeks is a life saver. Most people don't know this but companies like UCJ, Agsql, Nats and many others are more secure simply because Dweeks pointed out their flaws to them. I think I can honestly say Dweeks is probably one of the most honest and caring people in our business. Thanks for looking out for me Dweeks.

The hacker was very persistent and knew all the X3 scripts to look for and exploited every one of them. Once dweeks shut down the script on PicWarehouse the hacker then moved on to our old Thumbzilla X3 trade script and hacked that. This guy knows who uses x3 and knows how to get 100% access to those servers. Anybody using those scripts needs to contact Bryan at x3 asap.

- Ok, it's disabled. How do I submit to PicWarehouse?
Right now you can't. There is no submit script. The only galleries we are taking are Twistys submitted galleries which can be sent in by hand and will get priority listing (as they always do) on Thumbzilla, BigBreastLovers, Sexape, and Picwarehouse.

- When will the submit script be back?
The old submit script is done. We are not going to use it again. We are now working on having a new custom script built for us. The custom script will allow webmasters to submit their galleries to all our sites from one place. That includes Thumbzilla, PicWarehouse, Sexape and Bigbreastlovers. We will also be selling submit passes. I'm hoping to have it ready sometime in March.

- Hey Shap, I emailed your free sites 2 years ago and never heard back. What's up?
and
- How can i set up a link trade with your sites?
I'm not ignoring you. We've spent 99.99% of our time over the past 3 years on Twistys and TwistysCash. Our goal is to make our members and affiliates happy. So far it has worked out well. The downside is our free sites have been somewhat neglected. The only thing we've done is update them. In the last 2 years we haven't added any new link trades and we haven't even read a single one of those emails. I know that sounds bad but TwistysCash affiliates have benefited from that. They are making more money every month.

Conclusion to all this...
We are going to get our free sites rolling again this year. We are going to start off with the new submit script. Then roll out submit passes. Then get start adding link trades again and reply to all the email we have.

There you have it. The Thumbzilla, Sexape, PicWarehouse, Bigbreastlovers update ;)

:thumbsup!!...

Sounds like a plan Shap. Cant wait to submit again :)

Sounds good Shap.

SwiftWill! :thumbsup:

i can;t wait to get a pass on those sites! i wonder what would it cost. :)

thumbzilla traffic is worth it ;)

no ofense but i hope you will not buy another big tgp anymore, and close the submision form cause you are not able to protect it...

sounds good Shap. Hope to get some of my galleries listed in the future.

Dweeks is a god. As soon as I read the line about the script companies being safer because Dweeks has pointed out their flaws, I knew you actually know Dweeks. He handles all our sites. And the man is always on point. Customer support, security up time all that... never a question with Swiftwill. Tristan is always willing to help me with most miniscule request. He walks me through anything I need.

Cliff Notes:
If you are looking for hosting and haven't looked to swiftwill, you're crazy. Nuff' said

Dweeks rules. Swiftwill rules. If anyone needs a hosting company, Swiftwill all the way.

I'll be buying many tgps :thumbsup If anybody is selling hit me up.

We had to close the submission forms because the old programs were shit. Time to get into 2006 :thumbsup

Sounds good Shap i am sure you will find a way to milk the golden honey out of the hacker situation and turn it into a nice gain for yourself !

Yes it is!:thumbsup Sounds like you have a good plan in place Shap. :)

will you be doing free submission to thumbzilla... or partner accounts

Hey Shap,
put me up on some of your sites. :)

Sure. Email me and i'll get it up :thumbsup

I believe free submissions are a thing of the past. Hackers made sure of that.

We will probably set things up in this order of priority.

Top Spots -->Paid Galleries and our Affiliate's Galleries
Next Spots -->Paid Submit Passes and our Priority Affiliate Submit Passes
Next -->Free Submit Passes (given to industry friends and people we do business with)
Last -->Partner accounts

Our affiliates never have to pay to get top spots on our sites and won't have to pay for a submit pass. It's one of the perks of doing business with us :thumbsup

thanks :thumbsup
email sent :)

My mistake. Dweeks just let me know the hacker did not get in to the server. He caught him before he did. :thumbsup

Thanks for the update Shap and I can't wait to see the new script for all the sites :) And way to go Dweeks

Dweeks rocks. Swiftwill is the best host. He saved the asses of many software companies.
It's nice to see a guy and his company get recognized for his dedication and commitmant.
Im am so glad i host with him.

Dweeks really does RULE

King of Security!

Dweeks is a Security GOD! ..and one of the nicest guys i've ever met. Tristan too.

Just can't say enough good words about http://www.swiftwill.com

My first adult signup ever was from zillas traffic, think it was august-98 or something like that.
keep up the good work

I have heard nothing but good things about Dweeks and Swiftwill in the past few weeks. Good job Dweeks!

He is always very helpful, even to his smaller customers like me. This is the first host I've found that will NOT get on their knees to "service" SPAMMERS, unlike several of GFY's major advertisers. When you are good as this host is, you don't have to advertise or hire obnoxious sigwhores to push your product....:thumbsup

Just noticed that Swiftwill and Dweeks are local to me....I need some new servers for an upcoming project. Looks like I know where to look.

I think that's his business ... isn't it ?

Dweeks fucking ROCKS! Glad to see the man getting the recognition he deserves. a few yrs back i had my some of my sites hosted at one of the "big named" hosting companies around here and my shit got hacked and luckily dweeks was able to go in and fix it...needless to say i ended up switching 100% of all my sites to him. I've been with him for over 4 years and have not one problem!

Shap, I will beg in public if I have to :pimp


Please Consider Submitpasses.com! Pleaaaaaaaaase

hehe :)

Way to go Dweeks! Swiftwill is awesome.. If your not on it.. Then your truely missing out on something good.. :)

Thanks for the heads up Shap..

Ok NOW we're talking - see this is what I like :) When Dweeks, Tristan, Mike and the rest of the crew get recognition for the kickass company that they are - then I'm happy cuz they deserve loads and loads of glory. I've said it for 5 years or more now, and will continue to say it - nobody compares for SUPPORT. Dweeks built that company with heart and sweat and with each employee he hires, they have the same dedication to the servers and the customers.

Those servers are his babies - any wiz they make that is not normal - he's got like network cables as veins or an undetached umbilical cord - he feels it in his blood even if he's sleeping and things are taken care of prior to anything going wrong. :1orglaugh

Conclusion? Swiftwill ROCKS & if you want to stay at ease and not worry about server problems - I recommend you get in touch with them.

how many more big companies does swiftwill have to host, and how many big software companies does dweeks have to rescure before you all realize its time to switch your hosting company to swiftwill.com

Talk to me! :) I'm goin nuts

Gotta agree with Dweeks and Swiftwill. The level he takes security can be annoying at times, but it saves you so much time, money and headaches in the long run, and I don't think he gets enough compliments about the way he handles things over there. He is a life saver.

Dweeks, Tristan and Mike all kick ass. Swiftwill Baby! :thumbsup

Gonna have to jump in myself and give Kudos to the whole Swiftwill team, especially Dweeks - The security Guru, Tristan - The man of all tasks and of coarse we can't forget Michael - The money man..... We have been with these guys for a few years now and NO downtime and I mean NO, NONE NIET.....

Swiftwill is Top Notch!!!!!

Swiftwill in 2006 wind em up and watch em grow.

Guys Guys I thought we all agreed to keep it on the Down Low how good Swiftwill is SOO we can keep Dweeks to ourselves.....SHIT now the word is out
Kick Ass Dweeks and Shap for giving the man such well earned Props

I hope it gets back I've had a pass for 3 years or so and I looooooooooooove the traffic :)

Can I apply to manage your sites?
Ill give you strong references :)

edit (the trading aspect of them)

cant wait for it to finally come back up. goddamned script kiddies

good stuff Shap, thanks for the update!

Swiftwill is tops for security, I've had them in my sig forever - just to recommend them.

I've had my partner account since 10-30-2001 I think it was one of the oldest partner accounts that I still had :(

i agree also, swiftwill is dope, dweeks has never failed me.

Keyser, email me at kevin at twistys dot com and I'll see what we can do for you in the meantime.

Thanks for the update dude :)

lol, I went and checked some of my old ones and wow, it's funny the ones that used to be out there and are gone now. Remember tgp2? I got my picwarehouse one on 9-24-01 btw. 2nd oldest one that's still around and still works (didn't go paid).

I wonder if my superchicken pass will still work, hahaha. :winkwink:

where can i get info on paid spots???? or maybe getting a PA???
