Default Re: Crazy sponsor demands I not promote competitors sites.

Yeah, Joe. We met at an old Internext. And I lurk on Richard's board as well. I don't disagree with you about the way the Indian niche is done. It reminds me very much of the old conversations people used to have about real Ebony sites and bad imitations of white guys doing "hizzle-schnizzle" shit. Or the way, speaking of BillPMB, Bill had to explain real bondage versus "vanilla" tours. So yes, I agree, you're right that a lot of the so-called Indian stuff is just faux-Indian.

That said though, really, and I mean this constructively, if you're losing market share, then banning competing sponsors, strong-arming affiliates and thinking you can change the way TGPs work (with trading scripts), just isn't realistic and is going to bite you in the ass.
