Kudos for taking an affirmative stand VGC. As to the nay sayers who think it does no good I say bullshit. Maybe there's a reason they don't want you drawing any more attention then you already have.

cheers mate I owe you a beer

Zango is something that needs attention, just like CP, just like other illegal shit .... but lets be objective! Far too much emotional crap on Netpond recently regarding these things and I would much rather we could all take a step back and regain our composure Having everyone turn on each other doesn't achieve anything.

You should talk to the bro club here and tell them to stop taking it personal.

I'm the one being called names and have people follow me everywhere taking personal jabs at me name calling and everything else.

I've not called names, i've asked questions. And when people post something not valid I ask them to post something relevant. Why is it ok for people to go on a witch hunt for me and give me shit? I've taken threats on ICQ to shut up on netpond. Why? no fucking clue.

I get bashed more then anyone, but i've been the only one warned by mods to cool it when I've not called names until I was defending myself.

I am not on a witch hunt as much as I am trying to let everyone I can to know who is using zango, who supports torrents, who supports CP.

The "bro club' is a members only club for "top notch" and "stand up" guys. They also sale cheap tinfoil hats as a sideline gig.

The whole torrent/cp/shadywebmaster/shadysponsor issue is just so huge

There are tons of new small mainstream sites using za*go as a way to monetize their sites. And most seem happy to do so. Maybe mostly because they simply don't know any better. Just like adult, the za*go promoters find new webmasters an easy target.

I spoke(email) with a new WM on Wednesday who signed up with za*go using their gatekeeper program. He is quite happy with the meager revenue even in the first few weeks. We sent several emails back and forth but he never did quite get the 'big picture'. Keep in mind this is a noob, he only sees opportunity with za*go, not the harm.

I did ask him how he ever found za*go as a revenue source. It came from, and was recommended by, a member of a small obscure forum ran by a hosting company for their resellers.

All that being said, I wish there was a web site to send people to explaining and time-lining some of the crap that goes on. Maybe there is? Where? Someplace with all the information in one pile.

You know the people here who can do whatever they like, break board rules, just be above the law.

"BRO" refers to all the bro's who team up and hate on someone who has a valid point and want them to just go away instead of facing the facts.

You always speak how the industry use to be, every day it gets worse and worse and people steal right in our face. To me this being the biggest newbie board that people come and learn and get sent on there way to hopefully a nice career in adult, should not only bring knowledge on what products to use, how to run your sites, blogs, tgp, freesites, link lists etc, but also educate them on what products to not use, what products to avoid, what sponsors use shady tactics.

If you teach them to stay clear of that from the start, then the chances of them using it later are a lot smaller.

Exactly, but for some reason trying to increase the knowledge base here is a bad thing.

Sponsors that use Zango steal from us, it's no different then shaving, but they can run promos on the boards, and chat it up and are accepted like nothing was going on.

You start threads to increase that knowledge base and you're referred to as some sort of activist with a tinfoil hat playing with conspiracy theories. It's very odd to me that this topic is not as welcomed here as much as it is on every other board.

Sure there is always haters, but I don't see how spreading the truth is a bad thing. It's very odd to me.

I am working on a site like you just mentioned, get with me on ICQ, can give you some more details, and would love your input.

And what you said is a perfect example, I hear about people everyday signing up and using zango, a lot of people are going that route as it's "easy" money. The only thing is that the more people who use it "installs" the more it effects the people sending honest traffic.
