Now that I know the story on your end, I should start off by saying, DirectNic, I'm sorry for what has happend here. You received a complaint against me for having illegal content on my pages, so you firstly sent me an email for me to verify it, giving me a chance to prove myself. When I got the email, at first I didn't realize who it was from and with the demand for model ids, I figured I'd bring it up over here to verify the validity of the email and also find out who Intercosmos was. Well, that lit a fire over here. While it was growing here, my attorney sent you an email and you offered a solution to verify a few of the girls on one of my sites, so we could put this behind us and move on with things.
Well, during that time, all hell broke loose on this board and everywhere else, after seeing that I went public and started a fire, you thought "Screw this guy, we're trying to work things out with him, and he's gone public" (in other words) so you cut off negotiations and shut my sites down. You know, if i was you, I would've done the same exact thing. I'm sure anybody here would have.
Yesterday, we got some negotiations going with Mr. Nance which he offered to open up all but the 5 main offending sites, while I work on a few things. One of sites that was in those 5 was my biggest site, Amateur Curves. After my attorney explained how important that site was to my network, Mr. Nance was nice enough to allow that site to re-open, and I do greatly appreciate that. Naughty Thoughts, Filthy Brats, Major Pervert, and Really Eighteen are the 4 sites that are still down.
So again, I have to apologize and say to everyone on here, that I was wrong in bringing this to the board, I should've waited it out and found out more through email. I always figured that GFY is the place to find out information on everything. If I just would've kept if off of here, we would've worked it out and everything would've been fine. Neither of us would have had a tarnished repuation. I'd also like to thank DirectNic for working with me, even after all the stuff that's been flung around on here, they offered to get things patched up between us.
I guess this whole ordeal has opened my eyes a little bit. I guess when you're doing what you're doing for so long, you don't always notice things until another set of eyes is looking at it. Ya know, I never received ONE single complaint directly to me about the girls on any of my pages, NOT EVEN ONE. Then it comes up here and half the board does have a problem with what's on there. Like I stated from the start, I've only used legit sponsors, so I assumed that all was fine because the galleries came from repitable sponsors, not really thinking of the fact that some girls might look too young and offend someone.
So, I guess for me, it's time for change. I'm going through all of my sites, even the non-DirectNic registered sites and I'm looking for content that could be considered "young looking" and deleting it. I will also be going through my trades on a more timely basis to see if I can find anything bad. I might eventually hire someone to manage the trades for me. I offered this challenge a couple of times before for someone to point out to me any content on my sites that they feel is inappropriate or trades that they feel contain CP, but ya know, I never got one single email or ICQ.
I'm not gonna sit here and comment anymore on the matter. I guess that's what got me into this problem to begin with. I should've followed my bud's saying, "There's nothing I never said, that's ever come back to hurt me".
I just wanted to let all of you know what's going on since people are seeing my sites back up and probably wondering what's going on. Hopefully we can get this situation put behind us and move on with with business.
