It's really MediaXXX with little to no modifications that I can see. I didn't realize this until after our conversation, when I started thinking about how I had seen identical looking sites in the past.
I suggested that he'd have a hard time getting affiliates with an affiliate back-end that isn't well known -- shaving is an issue in this industry, after all.
So, if a guy misrepresents to me that he has painstakingly built a script from the ground up and has the right to resell it for the same price that the original author is selling it for -- and then splitting that price with me (do that math), as a potential affiliate am I not supposed to be the least bit weary about signing up for a program ran by software I can't trust and a guy that has blatantly lied to me while simultaneously encouraging me to sell bootleg software? (hello run-on sentence)
Also, am I supposed to take his word that he is against piracy and has fully licensed all content when he wanted me to sell bootleg copies of a script?
I have him blocked on ICQ but I did preserve the chat logs.
I have never started drama on a board, but there is a first for everything and I want to warn my fellow webmasters of my own dealings with the owner of this company.
If you are going to proceed, please proceed with caution and keep your eyes open.
I am curious as to why he didn't take me up on the suggestion of using CCBill for affiliate management since CCBill is trusted and shave-proof...since he claims he will already be using CCBill for processing. Unless going with NATS/MPA3, why not use CCBill for affiliate tracking since it's free to use if you are already a processing customer? I can think of only one reason...
Every objection I had was met with "I am only 23" or "I am new and learning."

Now that you want to throw me into the mix I will set you strait. I do log on his account he dosen't know much and I teach him around hes my friend so I take the time out to help him handle situations.. Our content is from a provider I know well I paid alot for it and am putting it on site as we speak .This site is very custom when you see how it functions after its completed with all the different scripts (affilliate script member script scripts for members area the list goes on )....You tell me what its worth.?.Most certainly 500 like I told you.Why in the hell would I put hundereds of hours into this and sell it for 100 when from mediaxxx i bought it for that.. The site looks good like you said because it is its a tube site with a members area and a cam site and it will do good its one of many projects remeber this is a project we are a hosting company lol doing just fine come to my data center and ill put you in your place.
