Yeah it is nice. Kurt Cobain used to rent it, he actually still get mail there, or used to at least.
Word of caution: Scott Perkins is a bitch made prick who is scared of his shadow. This is a bad thing as Scott carries pistols on him.
Hey Scott, what's up Jesse James? You write checks your body can't cash? Gotta stay strapped you twirpy thug? Ha! You're still a bitch ass victim. What happens when you're in the pen? Better start paying more attention in your Tai Bo classes, maybe take some fencing classes...with a toothbrush.

If you guys new how much sextracker had stolen from you, im sure most of the adult internet companies would be filing suit against him also." -Meat on ST and Shawn Boday
You don't know the half of it.
I seriously doubt that they were "stealing" 400,000 hits from you/yours per day. What Shawn and his crew are doing is much, much worse. They are taking the few hits that DO convert by means of inserting their own affiliate id's as well as redirecting join pages to their own MoneyTree program. This practice is detrimental to the entire industry. Affiliate programs (some are/were actually moneytree clients) are damaged when conversions drop and webmasters move to another program. Webmasters suffer damages in more direct ways, their joins are stolen from them.
We woke up one morning to a 30% drop in traffic and revenue.. at the time we were handling all of a MAJOR players non US traffic. millions of hits per day. They basically redirected all hits that were meant for our domain.. to the moneytree dialer.
I bought a new pc.. infected it with thier shit and videod the evidence.. we even flew our Lawyer over the Atlantic to England to help out.
Everyone says that there was no way that they could make a 30% dent in revenue.. but most of our revenue came from UK traffic.. and they had been installing spyware on UK surfers for years.. I would imagine they have infected a huge amount of UK pcs..
Sounds realistic to me. Especially in light of some information I've been provided by former FCI (not Avenue Media) employees that worked on this project. They were distributing via illegal methods (cracks), nevermind uploads to the dialers.
Make big money on your Domains! Why wait 40 days to get paid with the other guys? Parked.com pays the most for your traffic, and cuts checks twice a month!

A webmaster just contacted me to ask that I check a URL....
He said his ARS links where re-directing to moneytree... so he called ARS and was told that he had a trojan on his pc and it wasnt their fault.
I checked his link and got same thing... but when I clicked to the same site with a different affiliate code in URL... I get the correct ARS join page with correct affiliate link.
Does this sound right to all you ex Sextracker/AM people?
anyway.. if you want to see what happens, if you are infected by trying these 2 links
