Here is a post by AlexMerchant from that YNOT thread which sums it all up, sorry I have to quote it:
Taken from
Ynot Thread About 2Much Bottom Of Page 4:
FYI, this poster's reference to "Hammer" is for one of Mark's friends who was trying to defend his shady business practices. I couldn't have said it better myself, and keep in mind this was said back in 2007.

Mark Prince,
2Much? Yes indeed. To much bullshit.
If your product/service was worth what you are charging, anyone/everyone would be able to make money from it, thereby making you money off of their labor and efforts.
The fact that you have to have some massively convoluted, confusing billing/charge, over-charge, up-front fee, back-charge, overage/usage, upgrade-fee, surcharge, future-charge, support-charge, fuck-customers-up-the-ass-charge would indicate that you are not selling shit, except for the shit you are selling. Reminds me of a "Hammer" type shyster bullshit relationship. (See the smiley emoticons you asshat? Those apparently mean something to you.)
This is a case where someone should have bought a fucking $35 webcam, filmed some adult entertainment, used CCBill and made some extra cash. I don't know how many times I can state that people do NOT need asswipes like this company, "exotic practices in billing/hosting/providers/support" from other companies that sell content/web-cam-content-uploads-upgrades-or shit that is over-produced/over-marketed/generic" and has been "Hammered" to fucking redundant/spam regurgitated-boring fucking death".
The fact that so many support this insanity is evidence of the shrinking of the size of balls, backbone, spine's, courage, gumption, innovation, and ideas of males across the globe. I mean lets be brutal/crass like most men in a locker room with jock-strap sans pants are, guys will pay for the sight of naked women. (Gay guys will pay for sightings of other gay guys as well.) It's not that fucking complicated.
If some company makes their money off of obscure and convoluted billing practices that are based on everything BUT the actual content they provide, AVOID them like a nail avoids a fucking crooked, unscrupulous, dickless and powerless "Hammer".
Sex sells. Period. One way or the other. It always has, it always will. One way or the other. Period.
People get so caught up in the conartists (like Hammer) that they forget that what sells is this content, the vagina, the dick, the act, the pussy, the deed, the raw, unadulterated porn.
You don't need a wimpy third party spineless "agent" or broker, or webmaster who does not have the looks, the dick, the balls, the backbone (like Hammer and others) to make the actual content and sell the actual "business".
Stop wasting your money and your time with the "shyster salesmen" of this business. Go to the source of what people are willing to pay for. Go "Hammerless". (Notice the smiley face again hammer-not worth of a capital schmuck? That makes it all better (according to you) so you won't start crying to the mods and pissing in your little boy-dick pants again.)
