oh really .........

59 to 45 now. The "scammer" option is well outpacing the "just a scumbag" vote.

His employees opened the cage and let him post in the other thread, which ended up being a source of amusement as well as kind of a sad look inside of his head.

He MUST have privileged status here in order to fling as many unsubstantiated claims as he does without being banned. He just tosses out random shit he's apparently made up, and nothing ever happens. Must be nice.

I forgot to mention that my business partner and I had spent over 50k on Mad Thumbs ad spots prior to the 9k rip-off incident. Way to treat your customers GTS.

Will GTS survive?

Sure they will, media revenue didn't shut down because of the GFY drama, they just saved a few grand a month in advertising.

Anyone who is making money off their campaigns with GTS will stay, have you seen a single post by an active client saying they won't do business with Mark, nope!

It may effect the decision of some future clients who were considering using GTS and happened to catch these threads but current clients that are making money aren't going anywhere.

Yeah, funny that.

In all the years around here, I have NEVER heard anything bad about Brad or MojoHost. Brad is that 1 in a million people you hear about.

And BTW, I have never met, spoken to or have had any business dealings with Brad or MojoHost.

It's very true. On a side note, are you near Guilford, etc? I grew in up Bethany, and went to Amity.

at the last phoenix forum, Brad embarrassed me. being one of the few black people there, i thought i'd be the default "king of the dancefloor" until he showed up and out-boogied me on all fronts

:mad:

Stamford here... Not too far from where you grew up. You wounldn't believe how fucked up this state is now that Malloy is GOV.

Some startling facts I've turned up in my research so far:

• When Alexander Bell invented the telephone, he had three missed calls from Mark Hurson.
• Mark Hurson won American Idol using only sign language.
• Ghosts sit around the camp fire and tell Mark Hurson stories.
• Mark Hurson won the World Series of Poker using Pokemon cards.
• A cop once pulled Mark Hurson over. The cop was lucky to escape with just a warning.
• Lactose is Mark Hurson intolerant.
• There used to be a street named after Mark Hurson. They changed it because no one crosses Mark and lives.
• Mark Hurson scammed his first customer at the age of eighteen. Months.
• Mark Hurson sleeps with a pillow under his gun.
• Mark Hurson is the reason Waldo is hiding.
• The Guinness Book of World Records is actually Mark Hurson's biography.
• Death once had a near-Mark-Hurson experience.
• Mark Hurson once made a snowman ... out of rain.
• Before they met Mark Hurson, the Black Eyed Peas were just known as The Peas.
• When the boogeyman goes to sleep at night, he checks under his bed for Mark Hurson.
• There is no backspace button on Mark Hurson's keyboard. Mark never makes mistakes.
• Mark Hurson was supposed to star in Mission Impossible, but they didn't want to have to change the name to Mission Accomplished.
• Mark Hurson can slam a revolving door.
• When Mark Hurson was asked if he believed the world would end in 2012, he responded, "It depends on how I'm feeling that day."

Oh, I believe it. My parents still live there, and they are filling me in on that train wreck. I stay in Stamford when I visit NYC. The Westin there has great rooms for awesome rates, and I enjoy the train into the city, instead of trying to deal with a car.

Even Chuck Norris is scared of Mark Hurson.

facebook goes after everyone for facebook design clones, they even are suing a theme developer for making a clone wp theme.

:2 cents:
I am just over a successful negotiation with FB. Quite agile guys they are. :pimp

b u m p !

ya even microsoft, twitter, apple dont go after people/domains like fb does.

yes, and of course they were right. they were just a bit too aggressive and unpatient.

Perhaps someone can point facebook in the right direction.

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Excellent idea. :winkwink:

Where's your side of story mark?

Bump for a stand up guy!

what an entertaining thread

And now, a word from Mr. Hugh Madbrough.

It seems mark is busy w cloning sites and doesnt want to share his story. Saaad

Huge views:thumbsup

It's about to beat Franck's legendary maths thread :)

Seems like this thread needs more views.. and more news would be nice.

Maybe some GOOD news from REPUTABLE sources to balance it out? Sources who actually read the thread would be even better. :thumbsup

the race to 500 is on

Seems very scammish to me, and here's to 500

haha Brad out-boogies the boogie master :2 cents:

Not so fast now.

Thread submitted for the iPad contest. We'll see how tight Eric and Mark remain nowadays, because this is both a business AND educational thread if you think about it, bah haha.

15k in page views is nice.

Come on guys, Mark has already explained this in such simple terms.

It really honest to god was not meant to be a carbon copy. All he wanted to do is make sure he could send the correct traffic to make his clients the most money possible.**






























** anyone who believes that should pull Mark's cock out of their mouth.

Can't really have this one page 4 now, can we?

How are you so sure that Media Revenue's business has not suffered?

When you say 'saving a few grand in advertising', are you forgetting how easy it is to track roi on ads targeted to affiliates? Or is that just something you were never able to understand to begin with?

It's pretty insane when you think about it ... and considering the poll results (i.e., the sheer NUMBER of people who think Mark is EITHER a scammer, a scumbag, or both).

I actually have no idea if MR's business has suffered, I was stating my opinion not a fact. Although I am pretty sure that anyone who has been a long time affiliate of MR is aware of their shady business practices and is not going to stop sending traffic and collecting their check because they were run off GFY.

As for the ROI comment, no need to get snarky. With all the other advertising opportunities available to program owners wanting to reach NEW affiliates I don't believe losing GFY as a one of the options will cause them too much hardship. Especially if you considering the actual amount of business that get's done here in between the threads on poo and politics. There are many companies that aren't advertisers here and they do plenty fine.

Now if AVN cut them off completely, no print ads and no trade show sponsorship deals for Internext and Webmaster Access shows then yes it could very well affect their business.

I could be right, you could be right, chances are it's somewhere on the middle. When it really comes down to it who the fuck really cares.

Good story I will stay away form this guy.

I saw that his previous site submit passes is almost dead, the login page doesn't work either, maybe he's retiring from the biz.

I don’t often read entire threads, but when i do i prefer GFY. What a complete train wreck this thread is for one very questionable person.

Gunning for the iPad dom :)

I truly hope you get it,

and I want one too! lol.

ipads rock

This thread is an iProd.

Haha, I am posting this on one of my iPads right now. :thumbsup

If this thread isn't selected, it'll say a lot about affiliation and the selection process politics.
