Meat, I've managed to hold my tounge this long, I can wait another seven days. LOL!

Gonzo, you need a "popcorn" icon in here. Actually a few more really wouldn't be bad either. hint, hint.

You shouldn't have told me Wig... here I was thinking you were a great untapped Pearl Master or something! :awinky:

Still... excellent quote to remember! :okthumb:

Damn thieving Sprayberry grads...

Hey Meat - things are going great!

Great to see ya on Oprano... hope we see you @ Internext again! :yowsa:

I am a thieving gypsy and will nick the eyes out of your head when you sleep if given the chance.

But , stealing from the Dalai Lama , is just wrong!!!!

;-)))))

Ooooh... that can't be good! :devil:

Ahhh, internet-optimizer is theirs.

Nice piece of scumware, not too nice using it on everyone ELSES traffic though.

We keep trying to rent that hummer to pack it full of ass to do a shoot at Peaches! But hell -- maybe when me and Man and Bat go collect an ass tattoo. Where are you Waleska? Vegas?

Lee, we have a special cookie over at Netpond just for you.

;)

Meat, please show me some case law where people have been busted for doing what ST is doing. Is it fucked, yes. Should it stop, yes. Is there legal recourse? I doubt it.

And do not kid yourself, there are many big players with thier hands in the cookie jar. This biz is cut throat, people should know that at this point. With that said, I hate adware, we have never used it, and they should be locked up.

This seems to be the reality of the situation....

Wonder if someone is going to do something about it.

Would love to see people do something about it. BUT, principle is only worth so much $. No doubt ST and people behind these games have company after company in numerous countries. These guys are no idiots.

we'll see things unfold, I'm sure! Darn, how do we get Netpond's Exclusive on Oprano?????
;-))))

I think he wanted people to actually see it. He could have buried it ya know over on Ynotmasters....

Everyone knows North Springs rules. :okthumb:

Wig's about 5 miles as the crow flies away from me. You can see the top of my mountain from his house, but its' 10 miles driving. :P You can even have apple martinis at his house - I made sure of that. :)

Brad,

If we were talking about adware or spyware then yes I probably dont have any recourse, this has nothing to do with those products, and we believe we have legal recourse and we are preapered to spend the money to test it. We are also preapred to test other legitimate avenues to hold Shawn and Sextracker SOLELY responsible and accountable for there actions.

As far as adware and spyware products go, i think when those products mature then everyone will be using them including webmasters:)

and the truth shal set you free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So there is hope for me yet, eh? :yowsa:

Had one the other night in your honor. :inlove:

Girls?

Hell, we can have a Hummer full of ass with just me and him in it.

And I agree that there could be some interesting legal precedents at hand.

There's a question of who owns what is on a user's screen and who has the right to dictate what goes there.

Do you have the right to take a webmaster's traffic if he agreed to your T&C's giving you permission when he placed your code on his site?

Stepping further down than that, when the user clicks "ok" to T&C's to download some obnoxious spyware or whatever, does that give you the right to abuse them anyway you see fit?

I agree, could be bigger than Acacia. Rulings go the wrong way and the web could be rendered virtually useless as it becomes one big circle jerk with the poor surfer having no idea where he's going on the next click.

Not any way you see fit, but I do believe that if you spell out clearly in your EULA what the software will be doing and the user clicks OK, then they've got nothing to bitch about.

Just like the adult industry relies on that forgotten membership, the software folks rely on users not reading the EULA.

You could sneak "this software will blow up your computer and cause smoke to rise from the back of your CPU within 15 minutes of installation" into your EULA and no one would catch it until they had installed it on their third frigging machine...

Damn Carrie...

You got a machine dedicated to frigging ? :groucho:

Make sure you do that before I go to the service.

:bdance: :bjump: :cdance: :bjump: :bdance: :bdance:

frigging machine... is that, like, a Gateway knockoff?

"frigging machine" is a highly technical term.
Loosely, its definition is any machine that is not cooperating in the sense that it is doing exactly what you told it to do, but not exactly what you want it to do.

hahahahah no comment!

hell yah meat,

i have been getting that internet-optimizer shit for a while now.

I agree Farrell :okthumb:

I agree 100%, however, I like cookies the best when they are chocolate chip, and I just smoked a couple of bongs. :groucho:

I think somebody's week is up. Whats the scoop Meat?

I was just wondering the same thing... looked at the pond a while ago, and didnt see any updates on the situation....

hmmm....

:gbounce:

Hello Oprano,

Gonzo

The scoop is, that message boards can be amazing tools and in this particular situation they were so successful Sextracker are in contact with our lawyer and dealing with the problem.

My lawyer has since told me to shut the fuck up as they do...

We are hoping for a satisfactory resolution to the situation:)

Wish I could say more but lawyers are a pain in the neck when you dont need them and a pain in the pocket when you do need them, so I gotta take his advice at the moment:)

I have been known to disregaurd his advice on occaisions tho..

Ya don't say?

;-)))))))))))))

:headwall: :headwall: :headwall:

I hate getting the teasers and then missing the story.........
