Another industry myth. I walked into the party with Local G (the guy who actually paid for the party) and grimshawn looks up (way up) and says,"who the fuck are you?"
I reply with,"who the fuck are YOU?"
He says, "I'm the one throwing this party, maybe you should get the fuck out"
I go, "ok" and walk out onto the balcony to drink my beer.
Later, someone whispered in his ear who I was and he came out on the balcony to politely re-introduce himself.

The government will always use the porn industry as a whipping boy for votes because its very easy to be an "anti-porn" candidate and impossible to be a "pro porn" candidate. You've got to pay attention to what the government does and continue to be one step ahead of them.
I've been in this business long enough to know that it doesn't matter whether you've got a republican or a democrat in the white house, they'll both hang porn people if it is politically expedient.
COPA was draw up under clinton, Max Cash was attacked by the FTC under clinton and the boogie man who was ashcroft came and went without almost a whimper.
As with any business, the more adaptable to change you are, the more likely you are to succeed. Worrying about who's running the country is wasted thought.

we never installed spyware. We did however, have a 100% legal, fully disclaimed, adware product.
We ran it pretty much on our own junk traffic and you were the only one who I approached who considered doing it. Did you end up not doing it because you found someone else to do it with or did you just not do it?:winkwink:

I tried and tired to explain that so many times but it never gets through. All the Porn News Mags point to Rep's as the enemy. If the industry is not careful they are going to vote a Dem in thinking "Yeah we are all safe" and then BAM the Dem really fucks the industry. But oh well, I guess you live and learn the hard way when you have a closed mind.

I think what you're asking is "whats the difference between adware, spyware, installs, and downloads?"

spyware has always been illegal and is a program used to detect passwords, ids, track habits, change ref codes, etc. etc.
adware is much more simple. 99% of all adware just pops a popup advertisement according to the adware's design.

installs and downloads? basically the same although since most "ware" is "updateable" I guess you could call anything after the DL an install.

Terminology is irrelevant. There is a fundamental difference in spyware and adware. however, just as people abused popups, people abused adware to the point the government had to step in. Our 100% legal adware was so innocuous, the surfer never noticed it. as with all things we do, it was done perfectly. Then you had all of the felons who make their living on the edge come in and start wrecking computers. Once that happened, we removed ourselves from that market as our reputation has always been as important to us as money. So yeah, I guess I care.:thumbsup

hmmmm, I actually don't have pics of my house. I've got a few odd shots and I'll post them but as with cars, I don't feel the need to snap pics.
I had the house build in 2000. its 4800sq feet with an additional 2000 sq feet of fully finished basement. its not a mansion but it has what I need, namely a home office, basement, library, patio for grilling, big kitchen, sunroom, backs to woods, deer in the yard daily. I like it.
now lets see what pics I have (they'll be totally unimpressive)

here's a shot of my library, two walls of books and one wall of mural. its a great room for nappin'
http://www.12clicks.com/library.jpg

here's an odd shot of the patio. it looks better with the cushions out, full of drunk people eating steaks but I don't have a pic of that.:winkwink:

and lastly, here's a shot of our local deer doing their best to eat my freshly seeded back yeard years ago.

I don't identify cheaters lightly. I understand your need to proclaim your innocence but I'm never wrong. If I said you cheated, you did. The end. It costs way to much to find legit webmasters. We don't label them as cheaters until we're sure.

I'll take adware over that brower jacking toolbar installing bullshit that ran rampant mostly through mainstream about 2 years ago. I can understand the need for better ad tracking and targeted delivery but installing invasive programs and overriding browser functions...those people need to die!!! God I love my mac.

To my knowledge, or maybe it was because back then I was building up to over 500k a day to my CJ's, I was the only one you gave the ok to send traffic that way.

At the time, being new, it was huge gesture, and I never forgot the generosity you guys showed.

dude, how funny is it to say "new" and "500k a day" in the same sentence?
noobs can not really grasp what it was like back then.
Glad you remember, glad we did right by you.
