I run sites since 16 years (adult from 2003, when I signed in GFY) so I am not the newbie, still I am unsure on this XXX/ICM thing, if it is good or bad or the effects. I am amazed people care so much and are so sure that XXX is pure evil and whoever touch it it is the enemy - and in meantime booking XXX domains just in case?
I know Chris because I buy lots traffic for my cam sites (easier then large affiliate programs made of lots dramatic mini-webmasters) and Chris was there at trafficshop. I wanted to buy in any case, w hoever was there at sales, but one day their software went nuts and billed or delivered wrong. Chris solved all in elegant way and customer not lost, there is also matter of mood and wrong sales rep can fuck up worth million dollar future sales, you know - it is even matter the wrong word or delay 5 minutes more.
Except this single case, Chris was always there and answering while 90% of adult biz people are so lazy, offline and delayed more then who does things for hobby. In adult biz there are super unavailable guys who think they are too cool to care to anyone (and this is why some sites are doing bad, not because of Manwin really), Chris seems not affected of such pathology yet. Note that answering to GFY posts quickly does not make a webmaster efficient, it is the opposite, delay in real biz is often because lost lots of time in read and write BS here.
BUT! If he knows well this biz he had to forecast that joining XXX/ICM (in this moment) it was too risky for reputation or just friendliness that it is foundamental for a sales person of service used by many. I don't know details but he was Obviously naive in thinking people don't say "go fuck yourself" for those things. I would have not guessed XXX/ICM it is so hated (I learned now) but he should have guessed being a social sales person.
