Your right there is 99.8 chance you will never hear from anyone but if your not prepared that.2 can be a real motherfucker.

I didn't say to ignore 2257, by all means keep all the ID's etc. as required. My point was that the Fed's showing up for a 2257 inspection and bringing along the local Gestapo isn't really worth worrying about.

I know the law says that your 2257 info must include the physical address for your custodian of records. However, all risks considered, I'd rather be in violation of that one detail of the law than to publicly divulge my home address, if I were running such a site from my home. If you search the web for 2257 statement for such sites, you'll find very few that work from home display an actual home address.

A gif image with the pertinent text will indeed keep it from getting picked up by the SE's, but it's people (wacko's, neighbors, etc) that I'd be more concerned about and they can still read gif images.

Hey now , Ain't chocolate mint lentils and Jordan white almonds aphrodisiacs???
Shame on you..


2 big wigs in the adult webmaster industry told me to always keep my domain information public, because it looks suspicious or looks like I have something to hide going private. I think about this now, and totally disagree, But again laws where different when they said this.
Why does going overseas look better and better every time I look???

I dropped a shitload of sponsors, I'm back down to 1 to 3 I'll promote
due to this 2257. and these sponsors are the same ones that others told me that they were "shit old school garbage" and other stupid comments.
Well its these same sponsors that are converting money and have all the doc. in order.
Sometimes the grass is not greener on the other side man. I agree Gonzo
And not wanting or being able to come back here? I tried that once before And see.... here I am again. So no, I guess not
