Default Im getting very nervous for our future

It seems more and more of these companies are doing this crazy bullshit. This guy is on the jungle posting a thread how do I earn your business and he is paying $100pps. I go look
http://www.platinumclub.com/offers/?jp=48 its says free all over and but you have do 3 promos or you get billed $39.95. The promos have prechecked cross sales.
Visa is going to tell us fuck you and we are all going to be fucked.

Hmmm... maybe the boys from Epoch and CCbill would like to come on over and address the issue?

It is impossible to know what the long range strategy of ccbill or epoch might be. Neither seems to be operating conservatively at the moment though.

I can say that it only stands to reason that the cost of entry of the paysite game is due to go up.

Yeah baby....that would be the best news I have heard all month.

In times of trouble, everyone is grabbing at straws and trying to cash out. Deecash is a prime example. Personally, being a little mom and pop, I think it is better to hunker down and make a good living and wait for the "recovery" that always comes. I remember in 1991 I moved to Toronto and you could get free rent on business property. All you had to do was pay the tax. That changed in five years. its always five years. So we have four more years. I believe you can take that to the bank, unless your bank has tanked, that is.

With certain people, I count my fingers after I shake hands with them to make sure I got them all back. I am not sure at this point I would even take the risk with him.

Nope, it's Jewish for, "asshole that will fuck anyone for a profit". He doesn't look Jewish though, he's one of those Puerto Rican eyebrow pluckers.

I like Trixie. She is a survivor. She will out last many who post here. She does very good work. And, she is a nice person and so is Dehlia.
You guys may have a problem with her, but I don't. I have a lot of respect for honest, hard working people. I disagree with a lot of what she says, and if any of you were on AM, as Gonzo will attest, Trixie and I went to the mats on many occasions in some all night last man standing brawls. So I know of what I speak.
She ain't no Sabby. Trixie is an experienced web pro.

edit: oh yeah, and bluemoney, you may be a successful rich guy. I have no idea. But I would bet that Trixie could trump you in this biz. Please correct me if I am wrong. I am always willing to apologize.

Hello, this thread seems appropriate for my first post. I agree with Rhetorical, there are people who cash in and run for the hills at the first sign of trouble. I think it's smart to "hunker down" and hang on tight. There are good times and there are bad times. Panicking does no one any good. i think this business is here to stay for a long time. This is prime example also of survival of the fittest...

After the shit she put me through (and you saw a very small piece of it here) I completely lost respect for her and her little herd of friends. One of the important keys in a business like this is accepting that your perfect solution / situation / method / whatever isn't exactly right for everyone else, and that not everything goes your way. More importantly, in trying to get your way on something small, you can fuck up someone else's big thing.

She may be an intelligent person, but she is also unable to see anything except her personal very, very narrow view of the world and will quickly sink to calling you names (misogynist price, I think I was called last time) when she can't give a decent response.

Being on her shit list to me is like confirmation that I am right.

Calm down Nancy Boy! Or I’ll have to reprise my “I’m Not Rich or Handsome” speech or even worse, my “Humble Affiliate “speech (all of which are true)

Trixie could probably “Trump me” in a lot of things, including business. I’m sure she’s very intelligent & business savvy. With lovely boobies to boot!

I think some folks in here have a habit of leaving their sense of humor in there other pants at times . . . sheeeeesh

I kinda, sorta, maybe agree with you. Again, I have no idea of your success or lack of in this business. But maybe your perfect solution / situation / method / whatever is exactly right for everyone else, and that everything goes your way. WTF do I know?

That to me seems like normal business.

No offense, RA, and by what you post, you do seem well acquainted with this shit, but then again, so is she.

He probably is but brown skinned people all look alike to me, especially when they pluck their eyebrows and act like gangstas.

I don't have a problem with Trixie plucking her eyebrows, it's normal for women to do it.
