DatingGold.com has a disgruntled affillate on their hands.

[SmokeyTheBear]

Well this guy thinks so anyways

Some of the responses are rather funny.

DISCLAIMER - although the thread title is inflamatory, it isn't meant to reflect my opinion about datinggold nor should it be taken as advice or fact, this thread is for entertainment purposes only

p.s. hope this isnt a repost.

[Rick Diculous]

hmmm... didn't read the whole thread, but did he try contacting them?

[CYF]

sig spot.

[TheSenator]

Just read the the whole thread......

[Adam_M]

Dating Gold ROCK!

[Tube Ace]

what was the craigslist ad about?

[bufferover]

They banned him because of the landing page that he took from them? Now that's sucks

[Iron Fist]

Hmmm..... sucks for them.

Always two sides to a story and you know the accused is always going to play the "I didn't do anything" game. Let's see what Alan has to say.

[brassmonkey]

[96ukssob]

damn that sucks. i wonder what DG has to say about this...

[MaximX]

Interesting, I don't think dating gold is going to like the title of this thread.

[RyuLion]

sure believe everything you read on boards..

[CyberHustler]

What a thread title...

[Profits of Doom]

There is a reason that place is called Black Hat World, so I'd take anything that guy says with a grain of salt.

That being said, I was under the impression that Dating Gold was the one dating program that didn't allow themselves to be advertised on the file sharing forums or torrent sites, yet there is a big Amateur Match banner on the front page of Planet Suzy. I thought that it was maybe an Adbrite placed banner but it appears to be an actual affiliate link...

[HookUPcom]

Yeah Smokey, I guess if I was DatingGold, I would have just wanted you to make me aware of that post, but not bring it over here... With 24k posts, you certainly know that DG is a bunch of good guys that have a great name for being respectful and ligit. Not knowing anything about that guy... I would lean toward believing that DG either had their reasons, or, made a mistake.

If you see something about HookUP like that, I would ask that please find me vs. spreading some non-sense. (which I believe it to be)

Respect.

are they banning the gfy referrer now?

well i thought the disclaimer would suffice

I don't generally email anyone for anything . For the same reason most people "bring it" to gfy , email is slow , usually you get ignored. If i had them on a shortlist i would have contacted them first , then posted the thread. I think most gfyers have enough common sense to read beyond a thread title , and those that dont are probably of little concern to you, me or dg my apologies to dg if they didnt find the thread funny.



My instinct would be if i found the same thread about hookup to do the exact same thing , but then again you said please and "respect" so if it ever happens we will have to see

[SmokeyTheBear]

what was the craigslist ad about?

a job posting at dg, i think he was implying someone go work for them so they could "take them down" from the inside

[d-null]

notice the dickhead doing all the whining in that thread saying he did no blackhat or spamming is promoting Xrumer in his sig

[HookUPcom]

Your right... I think I forgot about your disclaimer after I spent 10 minutes reading that.

Best.

hi guys, im going to investigate it further tomorrow.
that thread was dated 7/3, which means that if he was banned by us (mostly by me), that must have been for period 6/16- 6/30.

He said he made about close to $6k, I couldn't find his account. Obviously, i couldnt find alderous either.

If someone here knows who he is, I would love to know and if he wasn't banned yet, maybe I will now.. lol

anyway, the thread title is definitely not appreciated eventhough it has a DISCLAIMER

[bufferover]

The reason that he mention is quite silly... i believe he got out of the program because of the poor free/paid profiles ratio

[SmokeyTheBear]

anyway, the thread title is definitely not appreciated eventhough it has a DISCLAIMER

like i said no ill will intended, it was supposed to make you chuckle considering the forum, and content.

[brassmonkey]

might want to get that title changed

[DatingGold]

AK will find out who the affiliate was. We don't ban someone unless they were doing something fraudulent or a scam. Our history proves this.

I call bullshit that you meant not harm and made this thread for a chuckle. The fact that you chose that title and posted something older than 30 days clearly tells me you have something against DatingGold. Perhaps you should address the real issue with us directly rather than using defamation.

As for the title, your disclaimer wasn't in the title. People get sued for this type of stuff especially when proven wrong. I recommend you have it changed before I decide to make a big deal out of it and call up my lawyers and spend $250k to make a point.

[gimme-website]

A common complaint on that thread is how bad DG support sucks. And unf I have to agree.

I had 150 bucks a month from tier 2 with DG, overnight that went down to zero. There could be many reasons for this.. im not shouting scam. But I wanted to know why....

I added a few DG reps on icq and just got a 2 week runaround.
Silence/one word replys/promises to look into it.
I gave up in the end.

[Iron Fist]

[Blazed]

In my opinion the signups counted are not the most accurate over at DG.

[_Richard_]

wow........

[papill0n]

stupid thread title and you should know better

[sicone]

Smokey is one of the last people around here I'd ever post a threat about here....


That said, I agree wording could have been MUCH better, but wording issues aside, DG is on top of their game and I'm sure will handle all of this in the right way

[CaptainHowdy]

I'm lost...

[Nicky]

I went "uh-oh" when I read the thread title because I already knew It was not gonna be appreciated.

[tranza]

I cannot believe that DatingGold guys are taking this thread title so seriously...

Come on, it was supposed to be a joke, and this is still GFY.

[seeandsee]

can i be your lawyer :D

[Paul Markham]

The original poster was complaining about the lack of response to his emails, so were a few other people. By all means cancel an account, but tell the guy why and respond to his emails.

[dav3]

blooooops

[Cyber Fucker]

sig spot :D

[Shap]

Smokey I think you should contact gfy admins and have the title changed. DatingGold Is a brand and they've worked their ass off to build an honest and well respected brand. Your title and this thread staying on page one of gfy is bad for them. People will read the title over and over and not even click the thread. The damage will be done to datinggold. People will have a negative opinion of them based on the title alone.

You've been around a long time. Surely you know better. The fact you had a disclaimer means you had your doubts about the thread title in the first place.

Out of one side of your mouth you sound human and a great guy to drink a beer and have a cigar with.

Out of the other you sound like an asshole.

despite the fact i just told you this ?

dude dont get your panties in a bunch, i have nothing against datinggold, i dont do dating much but if i were to recommend a sponsor datinggold would be on the list due to longevity alone.

are you serious ? dude dont make threats to me.. i recommend you shut the fuck up before you go any further. might do something you regret bigtime. If you want something ask properly or you will be ignored.

[Shap]

That's how it is when you run a successful company. He has to be the guy you want to have a beer with and know not to fuck over because he can be a real asshole. It doesn't win you any popularity contests but it keeps the business rocking.

i would have if he asked me nicely.

the whole thread was meant to be a farce that obviously more than one person completely missed, I guess my skills as a comedian are lacking lol

I have no problems with datinggold this thread wasn't even a poke at them , it was merely a funny reflection of that thread. Like a drug dealer complaining the judge didnt use proper legal procedure.

I guess i picked the wrong time of day or everyone is cranky lately cuz o the tubes lol.

If i could change the title myself easily i already would have done it before dg ever posted because in hindsight it was more inflamatory than it was meant to be ( !!! was supposed to be ??? )

I'll fly datinggold in my sig for a month with a "retraction" for free but i aint gonna do shit if you make threats or are rude, especially when no ill will was intended.

[JFK]

stupid thread title and you should know better

YUP, on both counts
