Brief overview:
1. They want you to create a directory and CHMOD it to 777
2. They want you to run their script from your server
3. They choose where your traffic goes
4. They also take 1 hit in 20 for the pleasure of having no control
There's no way in hell I'd create a directory on my server and CHMOD it to 777 so some other fucker's script could get access... even if the script does reside on my server….
They choose the sponsors from a list of tested and proven sponsors… damn.. that’s fantastic… there's no way I could do that all on my own. Hell yeah I'll send my traffic to your list of sponsors and I'll give you 1 out of every 20…
Anyone reading this should go and buy a copy of Content God and control everything:
1. Your traffic
2. Your server
3. Your content
4. Your bandwidth
5. Your sponsors
open up my server
give you free content and bandwidth
give you some of my sponsor clicks
let you control it for me
Yup... and will you still respect me in the morning?
Yeesh!
Alex

Like a dog bite, like a bee sting
I don't feel so fucking fine
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream collored ponies and crisp apple strudel
Doorbells and sleighbells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
Then I don't feel so bad
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream collored ponies and crisp apple strudel
Doorbells and sleighbells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
Then I don't feel so bad
Yeah! Yeah!

Disrespect Oprano, Not at all Mike, quite the contrary, I use ALL critic,(both good and bad) as a way of improving , and expanding, allowing for an evolving process to take place, thereby defining my products to be the best available for all involved.
If there is a flaw, in our system that would cause unwanted outcomes, then we must work to enrich it in order to fit the constituancy, properly.
I assure you that Boldy is a top notch programmer and is highly commited to customer service, so if there is an improvement to be made, he will master it! Thanks for the feedback Oprano.
once I know what directory the cgi is in, I can have all sorts of fun fucking with the server. Because I can download your code, I am sure I could find ways to overload things and get the server to shut down.
You built it backwards. Open YOUR server up chmod 777 and let the remote sites connect to you... no wait, that wouldn't be very secure, now would it?

(it seems to work with 755 for me btw.. if that makes a big difference to you Alex)
*edit "You built it backwards. Open YOUR server up chmod 777 and let the remote sites connect to you... no wait, that wouldn't be very secure, now would it?"
Alex.. what's really up? That comment is just silly... why would it be any use me having execute access to the remote thumbs server? I am the one that wants to receive the new data and write it to my disk?
They choose the sponsors from a list of tested and proven sponsors… damn.. that’s fantastic… there's no way I could do that all on my own. Hell yeah I'll send my traffic to your list of sponsors and I'll give you 1 out of every 20…
Was talking about this kind of stuff with several people at the show. I've seen some clever spins using scripts, and they're getting more and more bold about allowing themselves gratuitous access to your server, your bandwidth and your traffic. If someone is giving a script away for free, raise an eyebrow. They're getting their's somehow...
Best one I received recently was for a script that prevented spam from the server level. However, the company "giving it away" is a company who I know for a fact sold our addresses when using one of their other scripts. And I'm to give them access to my whole contact list? Yeah, right...
I'm not picking on Joe here by the way, I haven't even looked at his script, I'm just talking about scripts in general.
Opti, instead of leaving all these different servers wide open, why not just put a cron tab on each server and have the remote sites contact one central site?
Instead, this system leaves hundreds of servers with wide open code, accessible by anyone who knows where to look.
Just poor design from the word go - and has the potential to be a major fuckover in the future. Imagine someone figures out a little hack and turns all those servers into DOS attack machines instead? Leaving that many machines open like that is just not a good plan.

It's actually quite easy to set up a secure SSL transfer.
This guy is obviously a pretty good programmer but simply chose a route that was not secure. A few years back he might have got away with it - but now everyone and his uncle seems to be a hacker.
Personally I see merit in this program - as long as it's secure. It'd be great if he could modify the system - if not I guess it's a non-starter.
His program *could* help generate more traffic for a management fee of only 5% of traffic - and if you try it and don't like it? You can remove it. If a new secure version of this comes out I'll try it.

first, 90% of the newb wevmasters out there dont even know how to upload a script to a server. the main reason i did it this way. Nice and simple.
second, the script is password protected.
third, you can rename the script yourself and modify the settings in de remotethumbs interface ...
forth, Normally a webserver runs a "nobody".

I am not arguing with you about potential security issues Trev (or anyone else) but I am not a total dumby, I looked at it and personally feel comfy with it.. I know they can steal clicks from me but I am just not paronoid about that.
btw, the sponsorlist is self configurable.. and I had no trouble finding enough I liked to fill all slots I needed.
Anyways... like Joe said.. Boldy is a master of customer service and seems to have it under control ;-)

I guess I'm just a little sceptical about anything like this... too many spankings and ass rapings I think
At least you have made me think a bit... and I too would feel a lot better to hear boldy explain why the suggested problems are really not problems ;-)
If you want some fodder for conspiracy theories... when I first set it up I changed the code so the gallery links ran via a simple php script on my server.. I used it to check click counts but was mainly just so the links on that page all pointed internally instead of to the remotethumbs domain. It worked fine for a week or so then suddenly my links were all redirecting to some tgp site.. it appearred like boldy had blocked me linking that way, likely blocked all head requests rather than me in particular I thought at the time... been meaning to email boldy and ask why that happened.. but like I said in another thread.. I am not into TGP stuff so it wasnt a priority.
As far as why use it at all... there is 1200 thumb images updated dailly here http://www.sleekssickestporn.com/galleries/ I wouldn't be buying content god just to do that.. I wouldnt be doing it at all if not for remotethumbs.. maybe it wont be worth the effort, but it wasnt much effort and now i will know for myself. Anyone, even the technically challenged, could setup the same thing in an hour or two.

OK, then for all the nay sayers that are pointing out potential problems, first of all thank you for your feedback.
allow me to ask this question-- I have not been around long (less than a year) as most of you know. Since I have been around the boards, the number one accusation I hear when talking about sponsors, is the shave factor. (in fact it is even built into several programs from what I understand) I hear several things about this.
1.) if coming from an experienced webmaster-- the comment is usually something like this, " if you feel you ARE getting shaved (as oppossed to could possibly be shaved at sometime) then do not use the program, as you obviously do not trust the people, or the program to do what they say they will" I would ask for, and expect, no other treatment from any of you experienced webmasters. ( now ask yourself this question- " of what benifite would it be to us, to do something shady or detrimental to our users, that have such experience? if we were to do that, would this conversation, as well as conversations on every board not ruin our reputation so bad as to put us completly out of the industry? since this program is directly related to needing GOOD knowledgebal industry personell to work benificially? at the very least, on the sponsor side! then it seems obvious to me, that Good positive win/win situations must occur in order to spread the succsess of any program (relationships are too hard to come by, and we value the word of mouth way of doing business in this industry too much, to try for the quick buck, we are here to stay! and that can only happen if we are honest! you know that and so do we! ( I watch people that their only mission is to show other people how much smarter they are than the next guy ,all to often, it would be suicide for me for to attempt something as bold as to shave some of the people here. hell in fact I believe some of the people here even invented the shave , is that not correct? I certainly do not pretend to be smarter than many of you ( I often joke, but we all know that if I was to attempt something shady like shaving, from this program, you would make the crucifiction of Christ look like a sunday school picnic ,compared to the scorn I would suffer. ) I have no interest in doing anything shady in the first place, but like has been said Trust me = fuck you more times than not. I am not asking you to trust me. I am asking you to try a program, and see if you recieve benifites from it that you are satisfied with. and to trust in yourself, that you know when and what if something is not correct with your stats! you obviously will be able to tell, if you use some of your programs that you are familiar with already very intimatly in order to test this theory!
I will save number two for another post, as it concerns the non experienced webmasters point of view, and I know that most people on Oprano, are in the first category.
You haven't been in the adult on line business too long he he he
I don't have to justify myself (to you), however you have a product you are promoting so the onus is on ......
.... you
You've had a few good ideas lately, execution/presentation is the challenge (see 420 girls calendar and remote thumbs)
Keep plugging, you'll hit something soon
Remember the piss we had about selling - just keep on like you said then "Ask for the Money"
Hmmmm.... see the results
and to quote "there are results and then there is everything else"
Edit- this isn't about me, it's about your product, you and your programmers

yep, I have no interest in Pissing with you Vick.
I am trying to perfect my systems, so any feedback I get from you is great. have you seen the www.420calendar.com site lately?
it has improved, and we are taking it in a direction in order to build mass traffic on it from all search engines we can pull in. It is becoming a portal, that we will try to make sticky. I am looking for programs, and content to fill it with as we speak, we hope to launch it in another couple of weeks.
Please take a look, and tell me if you have anything that would fit on it.
Or feel free to contact me after we execute our strategy, and I have a good traffic program to send you some ood traffic.
We are not going anywhere, and will keep improving on our stuff, by getting feedback from all concerned . so thank you for your opinions.
Beauty is, everyone has their own so you must solicit them all if you are truley going to achieve perfection..
Not sure how much appeal it will have but I'm the wrong person to comment on it as I'm not a 420 guy
(however do a calendar with a hot babe and a different Scotch every month and I'd be interested but not sure how much market that would garner)
As for remotethumbs, it's a good idea .....
but asking for leaving a server open (directory with chmod 777) no matter how you want to present it is asking for a lot (of trust) - remember the adult online industry has had plenty of less than um .... sterling outstanding types
But like I said, keep plugging, I think you'll hit a big winner sooner or later
At least you're trying and coming up with things

Thank you.
and as far as the 420 thing goes, I am also going to have news, sports, and non 420 related things in their own categories sell non adult, and adult products, and paysites from it. as well as have a section for political debate on any issue, I am going to set it up like crossfire, and have someone from the right, and someone from the left so that both sides of every argument are heard, and people can judge things on the merrits as they see them .
In doing this, I hope to drag in all kinds of search engine traffic, as I will possess an unlimited number of subjects for keywords. The 420 aspect of it will actually be just a catylist if all works well.
Originally posted by Vick@May 12 2004, 12:39 PM There's a idea for you Joe
Since you've got he models shooting how about a "High Life" or "Good Life" series of calendars
Besides just the 420 series what about babe of the month for a fine Scotch, good wine so on and so on ........
Edit for spelling
That is a good idea. I would have to check as to the legalities of using someone elses product in the calendar though such as the liquor manufactuer or the guitar maker, or the car company, etc....
I would like to copy paste this reply fro boldy in another thread:
90% of the people bashin it here didnt even signup to have a look how it really works. The remote server is not wide open. Its a cgi-script on your server which need to write to a certain directory which has to be 777, just because most apache servers run as nobody and can't do jack shit on the filesystem.
Second you have to put a password in our interface which is generated on the script you have to upload. These passwords have to match.
You can rename the script to any name you want. name it ajskhjasASDASasdjkashdka893489273myass.cgi and a hacker will have a hard time finding it.
The script is a readable perl script, feel free to analyze it and see for yourself we dont have any intentions of cheating on our clients.
First of all I'll write what I feel and see right now,right here:
You're all a bunch of whiny bitches without a clue of unix servers.
How much does it take to have a big mouth and bash a program cause you've heard about CHMOD at some time.
To be true not even 2 of you have looked at the service and the script itself before bashing the program cause you felt like.
Someone gives the industry the opportunity to save time and make more money,but no 'ol Oprano members don't see positive things...
It's new these days ? It's gotta be shit.
Right
Look, guys & gals do yourself a favour and just test the product before you judge it.
I've tested it and I still run it,since it saves me time and generates me revenue where formerly I made none.
TGP's are not even my core biz,just a little besides thing,cause I like to see what converts nowadays and to test some google reactions as far as pagerank / linking and listing goes.
I like the service and I don't feel bad about the 5% traffic I send their way.
Both Joe and Boldy I've met in person and they are in my book.
I like honest straight people,the best to do biz with.
If you don't feel like even looking at it closer don't come here and bash something you don't know. Makes you guys,gals and Oprano look pretty amateurish and little,cause hating is littleminded.
Step back, and give new things a chance nowadays cause development and innovativity is what made this industry and the internet that good / a large medium.
Oh,and if you like to run your mouth now cause someone with 'only one post' comes here and says what he thinks without sweet-talk or asskissing feel free to do so,wont affect me or my business but will show me who is who and who is more or less smallminded enough to judge by postcount :P

Oprano could'nt give one shit about postcount.
If you would take a couple of minutes to actually read the threade you will find that the criticism is for the most part constructive.
