From what I hear, Babenet is missing checks and the backend system these other programs are using has been shut down.

did Oprano have something to do with this??

no comments on this???

All I have is hearsay.. does anyone know the real truth?

I would think that those who run the sites that use it would be disputing this post vigorously if it wasn't true... i know i would be.

LOL I love these types of threads. You get the feeling there are ten people reading it that know exactly what is going on and are laughing at those of us who don't. :rolleyes:

From what I understand the Babenet backend goes out a lot. Both from technical issues, and of course them burning up banking relations. I have a feeling it will get back up soon when they have a new banking relation to work with.

Oprano did nothing but discuss the issues of operating under the babenet back end.



:rolleyes:

MikeAI -

It sounds like exactly what you are referring to.. Bank relations being burnt. Evereyone I speak to says it should be back up within a few weeks.

I wonder if this will effect payouts to webmasters by the companies using this backend?

Sharky, I know that HAD to be a rhetorical question, right?

Of course if their back end is down, all the programs using it are basicly dead in the water for as long as babenet is down.

Will it take weeks? I find that hard to beleive, I was thinking more like days.... but I would be chaning out my links or whatever until that time came.

It would be nice if these companies would let theri wbemasters know there back ends are down so they do not send anytraffic to them....

Think that is happening?

I mean will it effect payouts for traffic & signups sent over the last period, before babenet went down.

I have been contacted by a few of the programs who use their backend for SOME sites and have been told to not send new traffic to the sites using the backend and was sent a list of sites that were fine to use.

Sharky were you contacted personally, or did they send e-mail to everyone?


Think every program is doing this for every webmaster?

I wonder where all the people who were defending the use of the babenet backend are? They sure were vocal last week....

So far nothing....

Its just you and I, and a bunch of people reading.... :P

While it doesn't affect me one way or another since I don't send traffic directly, I have a hard time believing that Babenet couldn't or wouldn't afford to make good on any money they owe.

KK I was not really refering to you.

How does Babenet know how much they owe and to who if the backend is down? They cannot process any signups... I do not think that have a batch system setup. So who do they pay? how much?

If they do.... I sent 500 signups last night!!! I will take my wire.... :D

Where's that friendly lady from piecash.com

She could inform the rest of us...

One would assume they have backed up stats somewhere Michael... really, what a question.

i'm friendly lady from piecash, i was also the friendly lady at the gun range with you, so consider yourself lucky to be alive! :yowsa:

Well call me silly!

You're Toolz' girlfriend?!

lol, arent I the idiot....


So what's happening with babenet/piecash?

MikeAI -

I was contacted through ICQ by people I deal with in 2 of those programs. I have not received a general email that looks to be sent to all affiliates.

I dont' doubt they have some sort of data backup of the signups that were sent through the system. It my understanding that the processing is down, thus shutting down the possibility of any further signups being sent through their system. However, I do not know if Babenet is paying out on the signups that were sent BEFORE their processing went down.

Was Babenet paid for the last week of signups? If not, will they pay the companies who use their back end?
If not, will those companies foot the bill for signups to keep a good name? Are they even able to financially?

A lot of good questions Sharky. Be careful who you ask them to, you may have a pistol-packing-momma looking for you!!

:agrin: :yowsa: :blink: :shooter:

Well call me silly!

You're Toolz' girlfriend?!

Shann you and Toolz are the hot couple in tinsle town...

hehe!

WHERE do i begin.

I do not think that the previous discussion on this board caused any of this drama! rofl

Babenet will cache the data so good will prevail over evil! Also, speaking for Pie Cash and I'm sure some other Babenet backend program users, do you not think that we have back end solutions? LOL

This will not effect our webmaster payouts, I cant speak for other programs but I'm sure we have more money then you think. We're not exactly operating cheque to cheque.

And i'm sorry it took me so long to respond, someone brought Dr Guile's post directed at me to my attention. Due to the circumstances, I have a lot of work to do that didn't include posting.

Luckily I'm in Canada and only get to indulge in shooting people i mean targets while visiting the USA. Here, I carry a baseball bat.

BTW all our affiliates will be getting an email explaining the situation, but since most of you aren't affiliates of ours, should I perhaps post it here for you to read?

Any other questions, I've only posted my contact info like 5 times, sales@piecash.com icq 52624206

Or why not sign up before you keep ripping into us and see for yourself? My link is calling your mouse over click it i dare you.

Shann, it is nice to see that your company is handling itself in a professional manner!

:okthumb:

Doing our best! :)

Shann the rumors are that babenet owes their program operators millions, and that there might not be any payments... having their affiliates left holding the bag.


Hopefully this is not the case.

:stout:

And we all know the last guy holding the bag Mike, the webmasters :)

Definately a pearl.

Sad to say but we all know shit rolls down hil.... and we know who is at the bottom.

Maybe the Feds! Been a lot of them snooping around lately. I heard
they picked up a few people with close ties to hampshire and babenet.

Hampshire has always been known to hang out with wanna be mobsters.
The fact is that their is no real mafia in the porn business, just wanna
be's. The real mafia moved on to bigger and better things, they sent
the kids to college to become lawyers and cpa's and moved up to the
enrons and visa's where big money can be made by fucking honest
people.

I find it very interesting that visa is spending so much time and effort
policing the little guys in online porn when the major damage is being
done by babenet and some others. Doesn't take a brain surgeon to
figure out what's going on.

You folks that think babenet is a major operation should see the real
estate that it and VCA sit on. Major doesn't describe it, massive doesn't
either.

are u that bad of a shot? :blink:

Despite all my efforts she did keep the gun pointed down the range.... most of the time.

That visit to the gun range was quite a trip for me little canadian that I am!

I had never shot a handgun in my life (let alone a smg) and they decided a Colt 357 King Cobra would be a good start...

:o

That paper target never saw it coming ;)

Man whats up with all the Canadiens firing handguns lately??? Think it is some undercover plot to build up the Canadien army? :D :lol:


Is the babenet backend still down?

Anyone? Anyone? Anyone?

Pssst....yer right, we do have a plan....

So far, our underground military consists of:

Infantry:
- the 5 guys down at the John B Pub
- the John B's entire dart team (consists of 8 dart champions)
- John B's brother in law

Vehicles:
- Farmer Joe's Tractor
- Billy Bob's 4wheel Ford Truck
- Jonathan's entire fleet of dog sleds (we're still trying to convince him to put his dogs on the table)

Defense:
- The Great Wall of Beer Cans around the entire circumference of Canada, 100 cans deep, and 1000 cans high

Arsenal:
- DrGuile's handgun he smuggled back from the range.

But............you didn't hear this from me. :ph34r:

gigi,

Nice avatar!

I dont like guns in general. I feel we could do without them as a society.


But Im fine with them at the gun range... no safer place to have some fun!

Toolz also had me try the MP5-UMP.... sweet zombie jesus....




But like I said before, Canada already has the greatest army in the world, its called the "US Army"

Man, I haven't been to a range in years... I used to go with my dad when I was a kid and I was quite good if I do say so myself. One time "the guys" were taping dimes to the center of the targets and trying to knock them out. I was 11 and just watching... There was this one guy who had been shooting there for years and still couldn't hit the side of a barn. He asked me if I wanted to try. He put ONE bullet in the chamber, everyone stood back, and I picked up the gun knocked out the dime and put the gun back down. The guy put the gun in his case and never came back to the range again. hahaha

The only time I've shot any guns since then was one time in Phoenix my cousin had a 44 Magnum. It was the 12 inch barrel "Dirty Harry" kind... Of course none of us had hearing protection and the shot from that thing was like getting hit in the head with a hammer. I took my first shot and was NOT prepared for the amazing kick. Everyone was laughing. When I asked why they said when I pulled the trigger I was three steps ahead of where I was now standing. I didn't even realize that thing kicked me back like that. A very manly firearm indeed... :D

hehe, I was thinking of changing it 'cause even when I look at it I get dizzy. :P

then... can i espect to be payed from dirtyduckets by example? they owe me a big amount $

Gigi, don't forget the Canadian cricket team. They set a World Cup record today!!!

(Unfortunately it was for the lowest score ever recorded by a team in the World Cup.)

:P

Wow! :rokk:

So, how many crickets did they catch? :nyanya:

:nyanya: yourself! :awinky:

For all you non cricketing people out there...in a game where a score of 200 runs per innings is considered poor, disastrous even...Canada scored...wait for it...36!!!!! :rokk:

Don't be too hard on the Canadians... they get most practice on snow covered wickets.. and they should still be able to beat the poms at least!

It would really be something to see Brett Lee bowling on a pitch covered in ice :D

Not if you're the batsmen facing him. :agrin:

Opti,

"""and they should still be able to beat the poms at least!""""

That was fecking harsh!!!! ;)

Lisa, There would be no bounce on ice. :)

Totally negate a middle and leg attack ;)

True...but Lee + ice == speed + skid! :rokk:

Brings a new defination to a googly ;)

Or a goolizer :)

Woohoo! [adds the Canadian Cricket team to our list of infantry....hmm, wonder if they'll contribute their bats to the arsenal too.....if they can't use 'em to play cricket properly, maybe they can use 'em to kick some butt...hehe]

Never let facts stand in the way of a good story :agrin:

errrr I usually use that line ;)

I'm shocked! :blink:

KK,

Wanna see something nice?

:nyanya: :agrin:
