350..........

Seems a few are listening and taking action:thumbsup

Combine his statement in this thread with his new thread here.. http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?p=11151788

He must be suffering from stress or something, because this shit is wrong.

He would have been and would be better off now if he would keep his mouth shut...he just makes it worse every time he says a word about it all...

Like I said before..this isnt going away..its going to haunt him for a long time to come..all the promo threads in the world arent going to help...they will backfire on him just as they are doing now..it's just another opportunity for everyone to bring up this entire mess over and over again...and they will.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

YOU STILL HERE? SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! :321GFY

Lars has surely done more harm posting - twice now - what amounts to "fuck you all", than was caused by the original threads that AFF and cams.com were linked to scumware operators.

A lot of his affiliates, for their own reasons turned a blind eye to what he has been doing. Publicly sneering at them isn't exactly the best way to ensure their continued loyalty.

:thumbsup

Soooo you have been looking into the issue ?? :1orglaugh what have you found ?

Lars went from hero to zero in a couple weeks... that's gonna be so hard to build something on that after what happened in the last 2 months.

So I think it's fair to say we can use adware to trigger only on AFF sites to open to their competition?

Seems like the same logic they're using to screw affiliates. Why not use their same supported technology to render their site to be ads generated for the competition?

Seems fair to me.

I know a few good russian programmers that work cheap to do the job. Any takers?

he's a A#1 idiot... used to respect him - but no more..

this shit needs a bump

I think this was the worst public statement ever on GFY.. I normally don't post much but had to on this one.

This tread should never be allowed to die. :2cents:

holy cow!!

Absolutely pathetic:321GFY

Lars you are the epitomy of scum. Have a shit life. :mad:

what would some call "adware"... bwaaaaha... I guess others call it givemeware I guess.

I won't support any company using Zango or any adware period.

Mark

In loving memory of Lars...

I bump this thread

old ass thread

but still the fact :disgust

This thread catching a little fire today.

shit lets bump this

:error :helpme :disgust

he's been missing for a few days - but my informant found out where he's hiding :1orglaugh

this needs a bump so the uninformed can see what AFF thinks about them

ok strange as.

i bet you they buy ads on google adwords as well as other sites and while it may seem like the traffic is going to an affiliate, who says that they didn't create an affiliate account that feeds the internal treasury just to cover the fact they are sending traffic to them selfs.
it is what it is and nothing we can really do about it except if you don't like it don't send traffic to them and find someone else as a sponsor for your dating sites traffic.
otherwise, if you sending aff your traffic cause they are making you more money then other dating sites shut up, eat, drink, fuck and be merry.

I am sure some affiliate companies use their own aff codes for ads, if nothing else so they can track how well the ad does. It is also good for deniability if someone catches them doing something shaddy they can always blame it on the affiliate.

If I had to make a little less and go with someone who wasn't shaddy I would. Supporting spyware is going to ruin the whole industry and hurt us all including themselves. How can anyone support them ?

Good question. Something to do with 'birds of a feather'...

Not good for AFF business this whole Z**** shit

Very simple,money is money,it doesnt matter which way is used to get it.

Not true. Precisely because a dollar is worth exactly a dollar, it costs you exactly nothing to care how you come by one.

The damage starts within the company which does not maintain a high standard of business practises. Its employees see the example set by the company and follow its lead. It would not be human nature to do otherwise. In this particular context you can extend that to the company's affiliates. Somewhere down the line that translates into additional costs via theft, fraud and the like.

Some of those affiliates are themselves sponsors. For example, I noticed a couple of days ago that a Silver Cash exit console goes to AFF. That sends out a negative message to their employees and affiliates.

In fact, the major issue with AFF, cams.com, SexSearch and other large operations which work with and/or tolerate scumware, file-swapping sites and so on, is the message they are sending to the whole industry. Even those who profit from Zango must recognize they have crossed the line of legitimate competition and basically their activities are telling everyone that is okay.

Which is about as short-sighted as it is possible to get, because while you may be holding a gun on someone today, only a fool tells himself the day will never come that the gun is pointed at him. The reality that instability ultimately damages everyone, is why every industry quickly moves out of the "wild west" phase.

That transition is already under way. If AFF and the others involved with Zango don't want to end up as footnotes in this industry's history, they will have to bow to that inevitability within the next few years. When they try to accomplish that about-face, then they will count the real cost of their current activities.

I believe the webmasters that still promote them will be whining about their funds being locked up before AFF decides not to screw the webmasters that helped them become who they are.

Well said...

I thought maybe lars came back to do the right thing guess not lol

Look at all the idiots in their contest threads?

As long as there's newbie idiots, I don't think they give a fuck & would continue using spyware/adware traffic hijacking sales stealing methods.

Those threads consists of posts from names I've never seen or heard and the AFF lackeys. I got a good laugh clicking through the newest one a bit earlier.

It seems like more than half the post in their threads are from AFF employees.


It really doesn't make sense. The contest threads cater to the people who likely don't make any sales. Think about it. If you waste your time trying to win $50, A. You musn't make a lot of money if you are worried about $50, B. If you wasting time doing that I doubt you are spending much developing you r business.

Sure they might get 100 people to signup from a contest thread but I bet 99 of them never send 1 signup and the 1 person that does will likely never produce more in sales than what they paid for in prizes for that contest.

Doesn't make sense.

It is funny when the AFF employees win, they post so much they win their own contests.

Andrew must have layed the hammer down and told the whole crew, you do not reply to any spyware,stolen content, password sites, etc... post in contest threads and that is it. And it looks like he took Lars' keywboard away.

Contest threads are not a good judge of anything. They are basically just a cheap way to buy a sticky for the month.

here is a bump for "looking into it" as affiliates get robbed.

True... but even their contest falls off the front page. :1orglaugh


Now this thread on the other hand, we should keep this as a sticky for the rest of the year.

Whether they ever do the right thing or not, I don't see how they can ever be trusted.

I know Xandria and Somethingsexyplanet steal traffic with this specific software now. Who did you use to work for?

Damn, how did I miss this thread?!

Lars actually admitted he used adware traffic?
