Fuck this ashcash/ashleybrookes
 
Some things have come up and I'm asking all of my affiliates to please remove all links to my site. I'm sorting a copyright situation with some of my content. I'm also taking this opportunity to switch to NATS.
Hang in there! The site will be bigger and better once it's back up within the week and I'll also be offering a higher percentage for a while, so take advantage of it! You'll also have brand new promotional material to work with. I also plan on taking requests for fan signs (video and/or pictures)from all my active affiliates. I'll be sending out an email once everything is up and running. Stay tuned!



Jeez, no way I ever gonna promote a site again, that is asking to remove ALL links. What a joke

darksoul 10-23-2005 11:09 AM

Just got the e-mail.
Pretty shitty.

xNetworx 10-23-2005 11:11 AM

Could that be hater spam? Is it really from them? Also, do webmasters really believe she is the one handling the issues with the site?

HorseShit 10-23-2005 11:11 AM

that blows if it's real (which im sure it it)

Marcus Aurelius 10-23-2005 11:13 AM

Wait for MUTT to respond before jumping to any conclusions. Im sure the whole thing will be resolved properly. Ashley is a nice person, she will take care of her affiliates.

Not implying she has anything at all to do with the sites backend, but she has a name to uphold so I think bashing her program or name would be a bad idea. In business shit happens, intentional or not im sure it will get resolved.

Hey everyone - yes, the email is real and from me. Sorry for all the problems this is causing everyone - I know it's a pain having to take all these links down.
Mutt and I have decided to go our separate ways - he did an awesome job designing all of my sites and has asked me to remove it as he owns the copyright. I know it's a very short notice, but I must respect Mutt's wishes and do as he asks. I have no choice.
I sent the email to inform all my affiliates instead of just letting links die - that wouldn't be fair.
I have already takent he steps needed to get everything back up as quickly as possible. I've been working closely with John over at NATS to have the problems solved as fast as I can.
Again, I'm sorry for this, but those of you who decide to stick with me will get huge bonuses once the new systems is in place. I fully expect the change over to be done by Friday.
Again, sorry everyone. My hands are tied.

cherrylula 10-23-2005 11:29 AM

Remove links? are our links not working or something??

they are ccbill links, they should never need to be changed to receive credit.

cherrylula 10-23-2005 11:31 AM

you guys really should work something out that is really a shame. You will be losing a lot of traffic. :(

Mutt 10-23-2005 11:33 AM

this has NOTHING to do with Mutt. ZERO. Ashley was advised explicitly NOT to switch to NATS - because it is not backwards compatible with old CCBILL links - I gave her a solution that IS backwards compatible with current CCBILL links. Ashley has chosen to do this on her own.

khs 10-23-2005 11:33 AM

that has got to be a joke

Oh jeez, great contract you guys/girls made up.

nnweb 10-23-2005 11:33 AM

sounds like ashley is getting a big head

;)

cherrylula 10-23-2005 11:34 AM

So any word on how long our link codes will work for?? a day or two??

so we can at least clean up on our end?

I'm going to end up just 404ing all my ashley brookes traffic if I don't have link codes that work. tons of work down the drain. :(

Dirty F 10-23-2005 11:35 AM

What solution is backwards compatible with CCBill?

Also, I believe Fabian found a way to rewrite/redirect ccbill program links. So we MAY be able to rewrite and redirect the current links if both parties can agree. I will have to confirm this with Fabian and will let all parties know once I do.

Fletch XXX 10-23-2005 11:41 AM

Seriously, fuck solo girls from now on.

I won't be pushing any more solo girls that arent simply payed off for their content and sent on their way, this is the last time.

From model to model, tired of pulling links because of model drama. You girls have no clue how many domains and pages people put up links on for you to get that success you are feeling.

Rest assured, many will 404 it to someone else and be done with it. I know thats what I do when this shit happens....

can't you just pay mutt for the design so you don't have to change it

Well I was planning to take the site down tonight. Mutt wants me to stop useing his stuff ASAP and has filled a copyright with the libray of congresss, apparently..
I have been assured that I can have the new system ready by friday.. but I don't think Mutt wants me to use it that long. Sorry guys...

a very simple solution - programmed by GFY's own Mr Fifty, woj, and a little help from Uproared.

up until 3 weeks ago Mutt was still hanging in with Ashley 'Brookes' - call me crazy - http://www.ashcash.net/the_new_ashcash

benc 10-23-2005 11:43 AM

Extremely petty to not allow use of design.

Dalai lama 10-23-2005 11:44 AM

That's great really.

cherrylula 10-23-2005 11:45 AM

well I really hope whatever this is about gets sorted out. I am crossing my fingers for you guys before I kill the traffic.

Mutt 10-23-2005 11:46 AM

the DESIGN has nothing to do with this - she is shutting her site down because she made a rash decision to switch to NATS. a design changeover can be done in 15 minutes in the middle of the night.

I'm not familiar with that so I can't comment on it :)

What most people do when moving to NATS from CCBill is leave the old members in ccbill to continue to be paid by ccbill and start the new non-ccbill program on it's own. That may be difficult in this case seeing as there seems to be a problem over who owns what. I don't see how that allows another solution to continue to run but doesn't allow the ccbill only program to continue to run while Ashley does her own thing, but I'm sure I don't know the entire story and that is between you and Ashley.

As far as the redirect which is what would be required from CCBill to allow the links to be sent to NATS and credited properly instead of CCBill I will have to speak with Fabian.

Mutt, the design is only one part of the issue - you have also asked me to remove all the content that you own. That does not leave me with enough of my own private content to justify a site.
I am going home early and will be spending my time shooting pictures and videos while the new design and NATS systems is set up.
I made the decision to temporarily close the site due to the lack of my personal content. The last thing I want is for affiliates to lose money because my site is not full.
I will be home tomorrow and I have a photographer standing by and ready to shoot 24/7 to get the new system up.
Again, sorry about all this guys!

No, I'm sorry - Mutt has asked me to remove all the content he owns. I will post an explanation page and do something very special for my members when the new system is up. They are aware that the site will be down temporarily.

cherrylula 10-23-2005 11:57 AM

well that answers my question.

Hello chargebacks. :(

Juicy D. Links 10-23-2005 11:58 AM

Can I get a Free Pass? thanx

Mutt 10-23-2005 11:58 AM

i'm not going to say too much on GFY ......... UNLESS I am forced to ....... but i am going to say this. NOBODY in this industry has EVER had more done for them than what was done for Ashley 'Brookes', by me and my partner John Emslie, for absolutely nothing in return other than for her to live by an original agreement between her and I3 months ago - a pledge of time and commitment to her 'business' from the time we began the journey - and a modicum of gratitude.

To those who would/will point a finger at either me and John for any actions please remember that in the 6 months following the launch of AshCash there was little to be seen of Ashley on GFY or any other board nor was she available to affiliates on ICQ - despite my frequent urging, scolding and outright frustration. Why did Ashley 'Brookes' disappear from GFY and ICQ - i heard the question over and over. And I lied. The reason Ashley 'Brookes' disappeared is because she had what she wanted - she avoided her affiliates and 'friends' because she didn't need them any longer. She has reappeared on ICQ and GFY during the past week for one reason only - because she needs people in this industry again.

You make your own conclusions.

cherrylula 10-23-2005 12:01 PM

man I had to pull Nikki Nevada links too, this is where it ends. What a shame.

Sosa 10-23-2005 12:02 PM

so we can expect some chargebacks since surfers will not be allowed to log back in?

Juicy D. Links 10-23-2005 12:03 PM

MY POV on this.

Mutt isnt to blame for this... we all seen this before. Mutt has helped her and he has helped others.

I made the decision to switch to NATS because I knew my site was going to be totally offline for a short period of time. Due to lack of personal content and design. Switching to NATS now will ensure something like this will never have to happen again. I investigated a lot of solutions, and their speed of setup....NATS was by far the best choice for now and the future.

Sorry to hear about this Mutt... I know how it is. Well.... not the switching processors part... but the model headaches :disgust
