Yes will did have a motive. He wanted to know why aff was poping up over click cashes site. Go back and read all will's post and the thread were he said he admired lars a few months before the zango issue came to light. Lars has been trying to get will's traffic for the last 2 years..

Thanks





As far as his motives go.. I remember both... But what I do not understand is after he brung it to EVERYONES attention has he not quit... And also why has he not giving me a direct Yes or No answer... Logic tells me there is something else there that he is not telling us...

Where was he with the .xxx fight? We coulda used him in that fight

Why does he not go after other companies using badware to steal our traffic?

see a couple posts up.

You will get over it. you might not like the way I handle my business on GFY, but from what I am learning here today is that my business and me and two totally different things. So my business me, says eat a dick and fuck off you worthless little prick who can't design worth a shit no one cares what you think. But my " non business, personal " me says, Jon you a cool dude, i will buy you drinks at the next show. So I am sure we still can be friends and I am still top notch, you just don;t like the way I handle my business, you prick <- that was my business me talking

I wouldn't hate you for who you like and dislike. I wouldn't care if you call me a hahahahahaha, say I have a small dick, my wife is ugly. Who cares about all that shit. I don't care if you worship hitler, sacrafice lambs, whatever.

If homegrownvideo steals from me and you own the company, acknowledge it, and support it, than I will hate you, and not just your company.

IMO, for the 10 th time. You steal from my business, you taking money out of my pocket. To me that is as personal as it gets. I don't care if you are sister theresa, if you steal from me I am not going to say " well while I don't agree with your business practices of stealing, I still will like you as a person." fuck that, you the fucking person, made the decission for your company to steal from.

Will76 is my business. Will is me, If Will76 gets too nasty I know you wont hold it against me. we still cool bro!

I had the pleasure of meeting Lars at the MoviePost Dinner.

He was very easy going and great to chat with.

until I can clone about 10 of me there is only so many hours in the day. Sorry I can't do it all.

BTW, I sent in about 20 emails to ICANN in opposition to .xxx and posted in more than a few threads here about it. Also Lawerly wasn't here calling us all sheep, and laughing in our faces. I can assure you if he was I would have posted more on the issue.

In all honesty, .xxx woulda hurt us more then zango can anyday of the week...

Badware and popups have always been a part of this business, it is a minor inconvenience compare to the filtering powers that .xxx would have given people...

People with badware on there pc's are mostly broke people that can't afford the software to keep it off.. How are they gonna buy porn?

didn't realize that wasn't a solid enough answer for you. I went out of two 2 days later as well.

Why Will don't you carry your fight to the next person that is stealing our traffic and bring that to our attention...?

We all know about this one now, good job, thanks for informing us all...

since you think starting polls on GFY = facts you will appreciate this:

http://www.gfy.com/fucking-around-and-business-discussion/713753-issue-poses-biggest-threat-adult-industry.html

2x more people thought spyware is a bigger threat to adult than xxx was. this was before the rulling.

Don't try to put " badware and popups" in the same sentence.

Jesus christ, I am done replying to you. You don't have a fucking clue what you talking about:

You answered a question with a question... Not very solid of a answer.. All logic says when people do that they are hidding something...

And bringing it out in the open makes since.. It is just like the guy who gets his women tooken and then kills here with the attitude "If I can't have her, noone can" or the kid who breaks a toy when it is his turn to pass it to the next one "If I can't play with it, noone can"

See where I am coming from?

I asked you valid and very legit questions and untill now got the run around and not a solid answer...

Will... everyone has already seen your arguements, many people agreed with your overall message, but you are taking things to an extreme personal level. You are working very hard in this thread to convince people that they shouldn't like Lars based on what.. a business decision people didn't like? Those kinds of things aren't going to change people's opinions on someone they have known and done business with for years... especially in favor of someone who has turned what was once a good point into a dead horse and beat it into a messy pulp of hamburger.

I have more respect for pimpdog than lars. I don't care how cool some of you think he is. he supported shit that stole from people and shit on everyone here. At least pimpdog doesn't steal from people ( that I am aware of at least.)

This thread tought me one thing, my company can steal from all of you, but as long as kiss a little ass, buy drinks I will be A'ok.

it's like the sheep and the wolf cartoon, wolf steals the sheep from 9 to 5 at 5:01 when he is " off of work", they hang out and are best buds. It's just business nothing personal.... you people are too much.

I don't care if people like Lars or not. I guess you missed my reply to the other homegrown person posting in this thread a few posts up. I don't care who you like or dislike.

I am stating my disbelief of the " well i do not agree with the person's business decissions, but he is still a great guy" comments some people are making. That doesn't apply to just Lars but anyone whos company does something underhanded.

My business Will76, has a business practice of beating a dead horse. It is just my business like it is the business of some others to steal. Personally I am a really nice guy and I wouldn't even slap a horse muchless beat it, so I am sure when i see some of you in the future you wont hold my business practices of beating a dead horse against me and we will be cool and good friends... You will see this when we meet "for reals" and i laugh and am nice to you and we buy each other drinks, I am personally nothing like my business practices

Where was he with the .xxx fight? We coulda used him in that fight

Jon its very simple here is Aff opening statement about zango made on 10-13-2006

http://www.gfy.com/fucking-around-and-business-discussion/666036-adult-friend-finder-position-statement.html

"AdultFriendFinder from time to time as a small part of its advertising budget places ad buys with companies which some people might call ?adware?. Adware is software that is installed on a user?s computer with notice and consent by the user. In some instances such adware will use contextual ads - for example it may scan web pages for references to certain keywords and then pop up relevant ads from its advertisers. Typical keywords for AdultFriendFinder may include ?dating? and ?friend?. One of the motivating factors in AdultFriendFinder placing such adware ads is to effectively compete in the online dating marketplace - namely if AdultFriendFinder does not place such ads our competitors will make deals with the adware companies to place such ads to our detriment.

It has come to our attention that some affiliates are unhappy about some uncommon and unintended side effects of adware advertising ? in some instances the adware will scan a web page and pop up an ?in context? AdultFriendFinder ad in a browser window next to an affiliate?s ad for AdultFriendFinder in another browser window. This scenario certainly makes us uncomfortable and creates a catch-22 for us ? if we stop buying the contextual adware ads our competitors? sites will pop up and we may lose sales and if we keep buying adware ads we may find from time to time our ads will pop up near our affiliate?s ads for our sites.

While it is perfectly legal for us to place ads with internet software providers like adware companies, specialized browser providers, and search engines that place our ads near our affiliates ads (for example this happens often with keyword buys on search engines) this notion of the adware ad ?collisions? that has recently been raised does make us feel somewhat uncomfortable ? in other words we find ourselves sympathetic with those who have not been happy with this bizarre result.

So we decided to look further into the adware issue. While we are at least partially at the mercy of the programmatic techniques of the given adware companies we are already exploring and experimenting with technology solutions to try to figure out ways to reduce the number of ?adware collisions?. Our primary method of tracking affiliate traffic is not by using cookies (as has been wrongly suggested on some board postings) but rather by coded URLs ? this may have to change. Suffice it to say that for now we appreciate the comments that have been made on the boards to date by our affiliates (yes even the adverse ones) and we will attempt to address this unforeseen consequence of adware ad buys in the near future. If AdultFriendFinder affiliates have any comments or proposed solutions you may e-mail me at lars at legendarylars.com "




Now here is Aff last statement about zango made on 3-29-07

http://www.gfy.com/fucking-around-and-business-discussion/719276-adult-friend-finder-drops-zango-advertising.html

"With all the promotion of Zango over the last few months so many new affiliates and ad buyers have signed on to promote and buy ads from Zango, they have driven the price of traffic up so much that it is NO LONGER PROFITABLE for us to continue buying ads from Zango. We have turned off all Zango ad buys as of yesterday, it will take 48 hours for the system to clear all of our ads out. Many of you don?t know but for the last 3 months there has been no Zango pops on any links from affiliates to our sites."



Now let me go find the post he made 6 months ago were he said THEY WERE LOOSING MONEY BY USING ZANGO . All they had to do is say hey we seen affiliates had concerns and we dropped zango. But no they now come and say we dropped zango 6 MONTHS LATER because its not profitable and we are all haters now. There is no way in hell a issue like this is just gonna disappear.

Those kinds of things aren't going to change people's opinions on someone they have known and done business with for years... especially in favor of someone who has turned what was once a good point into a dead horse and beat it into a messy pulp of hamburger.
You work for a company thats in the content business I cant believe you posted that.
