Todd, i am not saying i agree with him.

<pearl>
i respect your views.

as i said: in politics, it takes the views of two sides to find the middle. The more passionate people are about their views, the more accurately you can define the middle.
</pearl>

i am just saying that porn also built the case for him. When Ashcroft attacks, he will be firing with the ammo we gave him.

The ultimate responsibility in that lies within the industry itself.

Jr,

If it was a democrat Att. General, I would be saying the same thing.

Ashcrofts words are on record, We need to root out all type of porn, should we have this kind of material around our kids and families. it's the same old game in a nut shell. People like Larry Flynt and his lawyers will be back in court fighting the goverment / states in an effort to stay in biz. I have accepted long ago that while we might be the best country in the world in my opinion, when it comes to adult material, and other freedoms like this we are no way close to the relaxtion they enjoy in most of europe and other places. That said, things can change, and the fight will always continue. One Person 1 vote.

Today's conversation has me remembering what I heard my Daddy tell me many times I as was growing up:

"CactusButt,"

..ok maybe he didn't call me that...but...

"one of the quickest and easiest things in life to destroy is trust...and one of the slowest and hardest, although not impossible, things to rebuild in life is trust."

Holds really true in ALL aspects of life, but especially in business...

"In Speech, Bush Calls Iraq, Iran and North Korea 'Axis of Evil" -- N.Y.
Times, 1/30/02

ANGERED BY SNUBBING, LIBYA, CHINA SYRIA FORM AXIS OF "JUST AS EVIL"
Cuba, Sudan, Serbia Form Axis of Somewhat Evil; Other Nations Start Own
Clubs

Beijing (SatireWire.com) Bitter after being snubbed for membership in the
"Axis of Evil," Libya, China, and Syria today announced they had formed the
"Axis of Just as Evil," which they said would be way eviler than that stupid
Iran-Iraq-North Korea axis President Bush warned of his State of the Union
address.

Axis of Evil members, however, immediately dismissed the new axis as having,
for starters, a really dumb name. "Right. They are Just as Evil... in their
dreams!" declared North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. "Everybody knows we're
the best evils... best at being evil... we're the best."

Diplomats from Syria denied they were jealous over being excluded, although
they conceded they did ask if they could join the Axis of Evil.

"They told us it was full," said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

"An Axis can't have more than three countries," explained Iraqi President
Saddam Hussein. "This is not my rule, it's tradition. In World War II you
had Germany, Italy, and Japan in the evil Axis. So you can only have three.
And a secret handshake. Ours is wicked cool."

THE AXIS PANDEMIC

International reaction to Bush's Axis of Evil declaration was swift, as
within minutes, France surrendered.

Elsewhere, peer-conscious nations rushed to gain triumvirate status in what
became a game of geopolitical chairs. Cuba, Sudan, and Serbia said they had
formed the Axis of Somewhat Evil, forcing Somalia to join with Uganda and
Myanmar in the Axis of Occasionally Evil, while Bulgaria, Indonesia and
Russia established the Axis of Not So Much Evil Really As Just Generally
Disagreeable.

With the criteria suddenly expanded and all the desirable clubs filling up,
Sierra Leone, El Salvador, and Rwanda applied to be called the Axis of
Countries That Aren't the Worst But Certainly Won't Be Asked to Host the
Olympics; Canada, Mexico, and Australia formed the Axis of Nations That Are
Actually Quite Nice But Secretly Have Nasty Thoughts About America, while
Spain, Scotland, and New Zealand established the Axis of Countries That Be
Allowed to Ask Sheep to Wear Lipstick.

"That's not a threat, really, just something we like to do," said Scottish
Executive First Minister Jack McConnell.

While wondering if the other nations of the world weren't perhaps making fun
of him, a cautious Bush granted approval for most axes, although he rejected
the establishment of the Axis of Countries Whose Names End in "Guay,"
accusing one of its members of filing a false application. Officials from
Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chadguay denied the charges.

Israel, meanwhile, insisted it didn't want to join any Axis, but privately,
world leaders said that's only because no one asked them.

JR that is indeed a pearl. Pornographers will be lumped into the same pile, by most of the population.

However, I think a small group can be considered enlightened enough to understand there are different levels.

There is a difference between porn and out right theft, which goes on a lot in this industry.

I think most people draw a distinction between Hustler and Playboy...

Education is the best way to open peoples eyes...

Well the one thing the American public, small as the viewing audience if for PBS, will learn tonight is that some of America's largest corporations are now pornorgrahers. General Motors through Hughes owns Directv. They can't pass their involvement in hardcore porn as we just carry the programming our customers want bullshit. They don't have to carry the porn channels. Blockbuster doesn't carry XXX videos. Directv doesn't have to carry porn they have CHOSEN to become pornographers, the largest pornographers in the world now or pretty soon anyways.

Mustang I think you are wrong on this issue. I have been working with Epoch for a long time, 2-3 years ago I did millions of $$$ business with them. There policies have been pretty consistent.

It appears to me that maybe the programs you were working with missled you, or is holding back your $$$.

Maybe you did not educate yourself on the terms and conditions. I find that even I do not read the detials on most of the programs I sign up for.

Maybe you assumed you would get the 5% back... ASSUMPTION many times gets people in trouble. ( I know I have fallen victem to it)

You may want to look at what other processing companies are doing with the hold backs as well with certain programs - especially those who pay on the reve share model.

If you have any evidence that Epoch's stnadard operating procedure for Reserves has ever been different, I would be interested in seeing it.

Should be very interesting, of course I am very concearned that the old "Meese" days are going to be fruitful very soon. We all know Ashcrofts views on Porn
-------------------------------

Todd, my opinion is that liberalism is a blame game. Not the other way around. Liberalism is about reacting on an emotional level without taking responsibility or accountability and pointing the finger at the problem and trying to change or at least lay the blame elsewhere.

liberalism is the easy way out and is always a cause centered around a "dream" or "injustice"

you are drawing comparisons to people forcing their views on people with questionable constitutional right to do so vs. people who we, as an industry have given real and substantial ammo and justification to ourselves to shut us down.

ahem... will all the "not guilty" pornographers raise your hand? (serge excluded)

I would not welcome seeing my business destroyed, but i cannot say i would be surprised.

I doubt Ashcroft pioneered any beastiality sites, kiddie porn sites, double billed credit cards, abused dialers, spammed illegal sites, ran a "celeb site", tried to get short lived publicity and success by selling the rights to stolen honey moon videos or the latest "Brittney Spears Blow Job Fuck Fest" or anything even close.

however, this industry does it all day everyday. how is Ashcroft to blame for that?

<pearl>

Here is something i can say with absolute certainty:

people do not distinguish between good pornographers and bad pornographers.

we are just pornographers.

</pearl>

that is fact that this industry is in denial about.

" ***A BIG Misconception is that Reserve funds are paid to resellers/affiliates. Depending on your sponsor and their contractual agreement, most affiliates processing with Epoch no longer pay any reserve at all. However, any reserves collected against processing in the past are never paid to resellers. They ARE paid directly to the sponsor program who is under contract with Epoch. This is not new, it has always been this way. Since resellers/affiliates have agreements with Sponsors, and due to numerous ways in which these programs work, it is the decision of the Sponsor program and/or your agreement with them which determines if reserve payments are 1) collected, and 2) repaid. Our new Zero Reserve Program maintains that resellers do not pay a reserve fee at all, therefore increasing your weekly payouts, as long as your sponsor has met the requirements."

This is odd. The sponsors who would of paid me would of been with a Epoch check. This is why they used your sytem to pay resellers. I don't think this is what has always been. I'm just thinking it's a way not to pay the resellers what is owed to us.

Well Mike, I guess you know which way my vote will be about Epoch.

Thanks Serge.

There has been a bit of confusion on the part of resellers about payments so I want to take this opportunity to set the record straight. And let me add, if the following information is unclear in any way, or, you are a reseller/affiliate who feels that you have a problem with Epoch in any way, write me directly and I will personally address your issue. Rand@epochsystems.com.

Epoch maintains, arguably, the largest affiliate/reseller program in the industry (and just yesterday we announced the launch of our new two tier reseller program). You can see a listing of these sponsor programs at http://www.epochsystems.com/sponsors/ All sponsors using Epoch to track their affiliate sales may choose one of two payment methods. They can choose to have all funds paid directly to them and they in turn will pay their affiliates, or, they can choose to let Epoch cut the checks for them. If payments are to be made by Epoch, there are a few things to remember.

***For a check to be generated, the affiliate must have earned a minimum of $50. Balances less than $50 continue to carry as payable until the minimum is met at which time a check is generated and mailed. All resellers are paid by U.S. Mail.

***In order for Epoch to track recurring affiliate sales, the reseller ID must have been properly submitted to our system. If the proper ID is not passed, the payments are sent to the primary account holder (sponsor) by default.

***If the check is to be generated by Epoch, then the correct and complete reseller address information must be properly submitted to our system. How else could we get your $ to you? If you need to update your address or contact info, contact your sponsor and they can update this info for you at http://reports.epochsystems.com/reseller.html

***Without exception, ALL RESELLERS paid by Epoch are paid current 100% and have been since October 5, 2001 with no further disbursement interruptions. Period. End of story.

***A BIG Misconception is that Reserve funds are paid to resellers/affiliates. Depending on your sponsor and their contractual agreement, most affiliates processing with Epoch no longer pay any reserve at all. However, any reserves collected against processing in the past are never paid to resellers. They ARE paid directly to the sponsor program who is under contract with Epoch. This is not new, it has always been this way. Since resellers/affiliates have agreements with Sponsors, and due to numerous ways in which these programs work, it is the decision of the Sponsor program and/or your agreement with them which determines if reserve payments are 1) collected, and 2) repaid. Our new Zero Reserve Program maintains that resellers do not pay a reserve fee at all, therefore increasing your weekly payouts, as long as your sponsor has met the requirements.

We fully believe that an informed client is a better client. We know that the information we put out does not always find its way to resellers/affiliates so we wanted to take this chance to address these issues and hopefully clear up any misconceptions that have caused resellers to misunderstand Epoch. WE ARE BACK AND WE ARE BETTER THAN EVER. --Rand

i'm not really sure where i stand on obscenity and censorship. Should anything go?

When I started viewing the porn that came out of L.A. in the early 80's there were no anal sex scenes, not many facials, no double penetrations, no fisting, no peeing.
These guys like Max Hardcore, Extreme Associates, and Seymore Butts have really pushed it, definitely to a point over the 'community standards' line out there in most communities across the country, in my opinion anyways.

To be honest, I wish the gov't would crack down on some of this. I am not sure if it has the resources to knock out the rampant KP...

But an e-mail from CactusButt to possible work something out is a no-brainer. It will only take a few minutes of his time, and the payoff could be well worth it.

If you do not take a chance, you know what the results will be - nothing!

I hope someone from Epoch does e-mail you, and they work something out.

I am no advocate of Epoch, they have less then 10% of my business. But I told them if they got me completely caught up, and were timely on payments I would keep that business with them, and over time possibly return some more of it.

I have tried talking to these people. I even talked to them in Vegas and got no where.
It gives me a reason to always bad mouth them when i see them post.
I guess it gives me something to do. :))
I've included my email addy this time so anyone from Epoch who wants to write ME and try to work out my issues then I will listen. But until then I will not waste my time in writing to them.

Mustang. Have you just recently become a fool, or have you always been one?

When someone offers you peronally to send and e-mail and to work with you about getting paid, YOU TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY! Even in the worst case scenario and CactusButt gets NOTHING, what does it hurt? It takes a few minutes of time!

Now on the other hand, the bright side, the e-mail may lead to CacusButt getting any $$$ he is owed. Even if its is $5 or $50,000 it is better then NOTHING.

Not opening dialogue, when offered is stupid!

I e-mailed Epoch and called when the offered to work with me, because of it they got completely caught up with my accounts, and they were more significant then 50k!

If I would have followed your advice, I might not have ever got that money!

So if you don't want to work issues out, please be my guest and continue to stick your head in the sand! I am counting on CactusButt sending an e-mail and hopefully getting some help!

CactusButt don't waste your time emailing them. I've tried many times.
I can't even get my address changed after almost a year of trying.

I also apprecaite the fact they come to Oprano and try to open dialouge, even when they know they will be hammered.

I also apprecaite their stand by not processing for certain sites...

"Drop me a line today with your phone number and I'll clear things up for you so that the next time you want to make a post, you will know WTF you're talking about."

Maybe Epoch can tell all of us here whom they have fucked in the past as to why anyone would want to do business with them?

Rand - you are correct, I am not a client...I am a just a poor dumbass freesite builder whose sponsor chose to use Epoch for their processing.

Appreciate the offer of sending you an email, and I'd be happy to speak with someone at Epoch who can perhaps help me get my past due $, for a change. Will do later this afternoon.

As for talking smack on the boards, everything I wrote was 100% accurate.

CactusButt, while I still have some doubts about Epoch, I have been caught up with all the money they owe me, and they have been paying ontime for MONTHS. I think they might have turned things around and are making progress.

I also apprecaite the fact they come to Oprano and try to open dialouge, even when they know they will be hammered. ( IT is better then other processing companies who just stick their heads into the sand when issues pop up like KP, beasty, non-nude teen sites, zombie servers, hacks, etc...)

I also apprecaite their stand by not processing for certain sites... more then other companies do. If you ask if they process for beasty sites they say NO. They do not turn around and ask if Beasty sites is illegal in all the state of this union.

Kudos for Rand and Clay for spending time here, and handling the heat. It is a start.

Forest, you ever get ahold of any Stag's cast 53? One of my friends from CA used to work there. She sent us promo cases all the time. Of course, I drank them all and later find out that the cast 53 is like $300 bucks a bottle. ;-)

Responding to some earlier posts...


We are trying to use the boards to let our industry know what is going on with Visa, who, by the way accounts for about 65% of our industry's transactions. We hope that those of you that are reading these boards to
learn and exchange information will react like Serge. And Serge, the Goat-thing scares me ;)


And Mutt, Epoch does NOT, and never will process for sites involved in child pornography. Period. Our policy has always been to refuse to process this content, even in text form, we contintually monitor each site that we process to ensure none of this material exists. We, like
all processors, process for sites that are not CP, or even close, but have the names mentioned (such as lolita) in their url's, which is what the new Visa Reg is addressing. And in addition to CP, Epoch will not process for bestiality, scat, rape etc...


Oh, Cactus Butt, you are obviously NOT an Epoch client because you are misinformed. Drop me a line today with your phone number and I'll clear things up for you so that the next time you want to make a post, you will know WTF you're talking about.


There's always someone with "E-courage" willing to talk smack on the Boards. Got a problem or a question? Email me. rand@epochsystems.com.
