Thunder-ball is turning to shit
 

I used to really like using the services provided by Thunder-ball but recently it has turned into nothing but spam. My inbox fills with bullshit link requests from PR 0 sites. I hope someone from Thunder-ball is on here because if you don't clean things up your going to let a great idea be ruined by users who abuse your system. Get it under control before it dies.

thunderball has sucked since long time now

Yeah it's a good idea if they manage it properly, seems like a ship without a captain.

Mr. Bond has been doing well with it for a long while. I've made 100s of worthwhile trades and I agree it has hit a bump in the road... but I have no doubt Bond will get it back on smooth ground quickly.

If he doesn't lose it when someone suggests an improvement of course. He has a history of flipping the fuck out.

haven't used it, but are these pr0 sites that are looking to trade with your pr0 sites, or are they ignoring pr limits and requesting anyways when you have already clearly stated a minimum pr for that site?

I just ignore trade requests from it 99% of the time.. It's always the same dumb fucks requesting the same shit over and over.

It's full of idiots requesting out of niche trades for links on PR sites while offering a shit link back from a pr0 free hosted shitbag

there are scripts out there to do the task why would you want a 3rd party handling your trades :helpme

The shitlist is disabled too. So people can spam you all they want, drop links all they want and there's no way to block them. But if they enable it people will just shitlist you for no reason. The shitlist is nearly pointless anyway, who actually checks every profile before trading?

Also lately I've seen a lot of dropped link alerts that weren't dropped from tons of people 50+, so the link checking isn't even working right. Some of the trades only show one part of the trade in the setup/alert, so you can't even see where you're suppose to link to or vice versa. The PR for sites is almost always out of date, so that's kind of pointless too.

Not to mention all the other things that need fixed or features that need to be added. I'm really amazed google hasn't banned the sites in thunderball, it doesn't make sense that any non member can see all the sites listed there.

It's too bad no one else has made a site like thunderball for adult sites. It seems like some of these sponsors around here would considering how many affiliates they could pull in from it.

ahh, so the site needs some improvements then I see

It's been a great and useful tool for a long time.. just it's been experiencing difficulties..

I'd love a feature where I could block certain users from requesting trades.

a lot of those scripts don't do a-b-c etc trades. Not that it matters, having one site with a huge database you can trade from saves you so much time. Hunting down trades for hours and hours then adding the trade just to find out half the people you traded with are dumbshits that dropped your link sssssucks.

i would pay a hundred dollars a month if this turned into a better quality service. the demand is there. he should either put the time into making it better and charge for it, or sell it to someone who will.

I wish they banned all the freehosted crapblogs, also ban those fuckers who drop links. Otherwise this will die slow death

yeap..there is definitively room for much needed improvement.... and if its not implemented in time TB is gonna turn into real crap fast..... seriously...

Anyone knows of alternatives to TB?

Yeah there needs to be a way for people to block sites you don't want to trade with. Freehost, freeblogs, pr0 sites or whatever you want. So if others want to trade with them then they can. Also if someone drops more than 3 links for over a week or two it should be a instant ban or at least autoshitlist, hell something. Same goes for the guys who don't setup links, fuck givem 30 days, if they don't get it by then fuckem.

Def room for improvement. Hell I re-did a site, and I can't even remove the old pages that don't have any trades to replace with the new urls. I don't even both logging in anymore and just delete the trade request emails as soon as they hit my inbox.

If anybody can come up with a list of features they'd like to see in an alternative of TB I'll pass it along to my partner/coder and maybe the 2 of us will crank out an alternative.

The loss of peeperpimp would be a HUGE improvement :2 cents:

I disagree.

I've launched a lot of sites, and all of them are listed in Thunder-ball.net. All of these were brand new, and very quickly I got them up to PR1 and PR2 - mostly using Thunder-ball.net.

In the past week I've launched ten brand new blogs, all custom designs, with handwritten posts, and I've been using Thunder-ball.net to get traffic to all of them. I try to stay in my niches, but when someone with a PR2 toon site wants to link up to my PR0 brand new solo girl blog, well, I'm not gonna say no.

It is what it is, and you can always so no to bullshit trades if you wish.

The past few days at Thunder-ball.net has been, um, interesting. Looks like the scan is working again - and a lot of fuckers dropped links.

pr is nothing

about the trades on thunder-ball to/from thumblogger blogs..

If you don't know, thumblogger was hacked in Dec and all links added in last six months on all blogs there are gone if webmaster didn't manually re-add it since the backup was six months old

Are you sure they are all dropped? Make sure you click verfiy. I logged in past few days and keeps saying 30 dropped again and again. But turns out the scan wasn't working right, hardly any ofem really dropped the links.....

все будет хорошо:thumbsup Копирайт Верка Сердючка.

Im really surprised Bond hasn't appeared yet.


Moneypenny must have him out on assignment. A while back TB was the shit. But like most good things..

Would be nice if he'd open up the code to the top users based on PR and quality and let us make changes he can then view before implementing.

My first piece of software would be an ignore function.

As in, you offer me pr0 link back for pr3 link from a blog with 2500 indexed pages, some with pr1 and pr2 to your pr0 site wanting a trademarked term like MILF HUNTER and I just put you on ignore. Then I can also blacklist certain domains like thumblogger.

I just got 10 requests from some faggot that doesn't seem to understand that simulated CP is still CP. Basically it was free sites featuring the chick from Harry Potter that send to 3D porn sites with similar content.

Would be nice if shitlisting still worked so I could shitlist the asshole. Or a [x] button to report inappropriate content so he could ban the guy.

Do you have something you wanna say to me?

Cause frankly I stopped doing public support for TBN a long time ago, but people still keep hitting me up so I help them, even though you, nor they, nor TBN, for that matter, is paying me to do so...

Do you have a problem with that?

Cause frankly I don't really care.

The gods honest truth, is that you and I have never dealt with each other, so why you would troll me is beyond reason, unless your just looking for some drama, to which I say your looking in the wrong place....

Oh and just FYI if it wasn't for me you, nor anyone else here, would even have an account on tbn, cause the shit would have died out a long time ago.

I've been trying my best to keep it a float with limited resources / access while at the same time trying my best to help out members. Or havent you noticed Bond hasn't been around for months now....

So if you have a problem with TBN and wanna troll someone try trolling Mr.Bond

The next time you or anyone else needs something, try letting Bond know and see if he even responds....

I am not now nor have I ever been TBN support....

My official titles there are moderator and link manager

My moderator duties consist of makeing sure your email within your account does not get flooded with spam emails aswell as moderating the shitlistings, to the best of my ability...

and your ignorance seems to have you confused about my other title as link manager

My link managers position consists of manageing links for my clients

(has nothing todo with you or your free account, unless your one of my clients, which as I said above your not)

So I tell you this one last time to be clear, if you have a problem with TBN and or are looking for drama your trolling the wrong person...

Go and troll Mr.Bond and see if you can even get in touch, thanks and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

You still have to find the trades if you used that. Not having to hunt down trades is the biggest advantage of thunderball. Other people looking for trades are right there in front of you, no more link hunting. Also people tend to drop links when you hunt down link trades yourself. There's TONS of scammers out there. The idea behind thunderball is to block/ban scammers. Even in the bad state it's in, it's better than the alternative, way better. :2 cents:

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

so it is time for an alternative?

Hey, hi, whats up ?

lol, hehe

i tried TB and honestly it's a pile of moose shit

You pretty much said everything I was thinking. I had forgotten about TBN for a long time because I had it attached to an email address I stopped using, but I've been logging in religiously lately and trying to do some good trades. LIKE YOU, ROCHARD :winkwink:

As for the 'alert status' things, I always go to the site and search for my links to make sure that they're actually dropped before I message the person and then drop the trade. I've had some people get pissed that I caught them and try and blame it on the TBN scanner, but when I'm actively searching your source code for my shit and it's not there... um, no.

ONE MORE FEATURE:

A feature to ban this guy or bot > blogggenator ... this guy spams the shit out of you with irrelevant link requests and many of his toon sites are fucking CP.... Kimpossible and young looking shit...

I have toon sites but I try as hard as hell not to put drawings that look like CP because obvious shit can go down (see murphy's law)

The main complaint is "Shitty/Spammy Trades".

So, We have changed the Shit-List to a Block List. Now you can simply Block annoying spammers.

We have also blocked any NEW domains from Thumblogger.com and SensualWriter.com since people complain about them the most. Anyone who wants to add to the list of sites we should ban... speak here.

Also, keep in mind that no system has the ability to figure out YOUR PARTICULAR Preference on what YOU think is a good trade or not.

We were ALL New at one point.... so don't get fuckin Pissed when some noob pulls up trying to make it and pisses you off with requests.

Just Delete and Block Them.

TB has bad user interface and I'm fucking sick of filling LinkEx forms.

So I started working on a service similar to TB but much better and more user friendly. Something like one click link trade solution. I've started coding the damn thing some 2-3 months ago, and coded about the third of the project, and then dropped since I got bored coding hours and days... and also had to work on some priority projects that started suffering since I was working on that...

So if anyone is interested in helping me (or partnering me) on this project he can contact me on celebempire{at}gmail{dot}com or via my ICQ in sig. The site like this will attract lots of webmaster traffic and it would be a good place for advertising sponsor programs.

In order to finish this project, I would require some:
- php developers, mysql experts, javascript/ajax experts
- sponsors that will support project (by providing free hosting/server and/or helping with design and developement of the project in return for premium ad spacing on the site).
- all other deals are possible

Only problem I have is the fact that you used your position to edit shitlists of your buddies and pals

DA DA DAAAAAAAAAAAA....... it's on like Donkey Kong! :warning:warning:warning

I beg to differ you should really find out what your talking about before you speak...

I don't even have access todo that, and Bond has already admitted he was the one thats been changeing / editing it in a prior thread

Is there a way to specify to recieve link requests from site only with a certain PR value?

anyone who trades with or deals with freehosted stuff is not serious.

ok, so this service is pretty much dead?
