[Newton]

Damn.. Is this the first one to wave goodbye publicly due to the 2257?

[Lee]

Name names fucker ;)

[ThrobX]

Hmmm, not familiar with any programs called XXXXXXXXXXX... can you give any more details? If they're sending emails out about it, it's public info.

Agreed. I say spill it.

[SykkBoy]

I understand there are quite a few of those types of emails being drawn up...

Welcome to George Bush's legacy.....I truly hope he rots in hell.....

[sarettah]

lolol... It's just a little ccbill program. Dayum.

I consider most emails confidential for the most party, that is why I xxxed em out.

but that was from strapongallery dot com I think. Deleted it by accident, sorry about that.

I could actually get behind him on that ;-)

This shouldn't really happen too much should it? Most of the bigger sponsors are already compliant, and for a single girl site compliance isn't a real obstacle if they really want to do it.

Affiliates are largely the ones that are going to have to scramble to get compliant.

[Newton]

My potential concern would be those that deem fit to possibly vanish, and not tell anyone, or am i just being a cynical bastard in voicing my personal opinions?

I don't think you're being cynical at all. I think some will do the old moonlight flit routine...

I ALWAYS prefer the close the doors , keep the recurs and exit , stage left. :)

strapongallery.com....

Sad to see a big playa like them have to leave...


ahahahahahahah

[TheEnforcer]

Yup.. it begins....

[SykkBoy]

would it be wrong and totally evil to start a betting pool on which major "players" shut their dooors due to the new 2257 regs (if the injunction doesn't happen)? maybe a pool on which ones will stick their heads in the sand and leave affiliates out to dry? which ones will quietly stop buying space on webmaster boards and start pulling up their tentstakes with no fanfare or press releases?

it will definitely be an interesting month of June...

You need to get over here, there are loads of pessimistic optimists...

Mostly optimistic that the welfare check will land, then pessimistic about the amount and how many bars it'll take them too :angry:
