So, there's this guy... Olivier Hufkens. He runs a site called Crucified Women, where he uses pics without permission. A dark site based on stealing peoples' graphics. We had a run-in a while back, when he was using my affiliate program but using unauthorized images from my sites.
Anyhow, I got CC on the following email... From him to Dark Dollars, CCing a bunch of gothic webmaster...
Hello,
*
*Check out
http://www.crucified-women.com/hufkens/
*
I have put the first two banners of dark dollars over there.
*
I would like you to click them,....
and let me know if you enjoy the explosion of pop-up windows that follows after exit.
Then imagine you are a visitor of my site,....
and ask yourself the question if you would click those banners again for a second time !!!
*
Almost all my affiliate programs are ccbils-referrals,....
because*ccbill really pays every week like promised.
*
But you can be sure that almost none of my visitors will
click those banners a second time if you don't remove those pop-ups.
All my links to other sites are opening in one same window.
My visitors do know this!
*
You have a selection of*GREAT MAJOR Paysites !
Please,...
Do something about those pop-up windows.
*
I am sending a copy of this mail to other webmaster who might join your programs,
but get rid of those pop-ups windows on exit,.... please.
I didn't really see the point of him sending me his little rant, so I repied:
Hey asshole-- Why am I getting emails about Dark Dollars?
And this was his reply...
Because you are a webmaster!
Call me Asshole again,
and I come to you in person to break your face, get it.
And I heard that a lot of other webmasters would be thrilled to join me,...
You are that schmuck working alone, aren't you!
How exciting.
