[Johnny Kleenexxx]

I have had dcma served on me, and I have served them on others, this isnt the way they are handled, they not contact you at all? Very bad indeed if not

[SGS]

yeah.. the "alleged" designer..

the design was with Webinc now known as http://www.kreadult.com

i chose them on strong recommendation, they've done affiliate designs
for many of the larger US programs... and i paid over the odds precisely
to avoid this type of situation..

i'm totally fucking flabbergasted that the first i hear of an infringement
is to find my sites are down and that bullshit email in my box... incredible.

waiting for Todd the CEO to contact me... maybe he can shed some light on this shit

[Johnny Kleenexxx]

ching ching . . losing money hand over fist now folks

CCBill & punters wondering WTF . . don't blame them

plus nobody can join until Webair DNS has propagated

sometimes 5 mins.. knowing my luck.. the full 48 hours

[smoothballs]

theres some weird shit going around right now, I had a deactivation email from ccbill (first ever) of a sponsor I signed up to in march but have not promoted them in anyway as they only offer banners as content (something you don't find out about till AFTER you signed up to some sponsors!!!!)by the way I have xxxxxxxx my ccbill number and name of sponsor in case its all something malicious from a third party and nothing to do with sponsor....if you want to know who it is then PM me, for all I know it might not just be me....


"Important Information Regarding: Affiliate ID(s): XXXXXX Webmaster Program: XXXXXX Affiliate Program Your Affiliate account(s) has/have been deactivated due to violation of acceptable use policy. Thank you, CCBill"


deactivated due to violation of acceptable use policy

Could that be due to not sending any signups in the few weeks since I joined? If so thats now a violation? I'm not that fussed as I have not promoted them so not losing anything, I will say it involves latex fetish if this helps....

Hope I've not hijacked your thread Kinky John as your issues are more massive...just thought this could be important if theres some kind of thing going on in the kinky niche...

Are the people from webinc, now free lance designers for one site/program/company.

could , SMV, Freelance Web Design Services be the old lot webinc?

What a fucking cunt. Sorry to hear about this KJ - it's a pity a shit host takes such action based on something unsubstantiated, we know what some twats are like if this was commonplace everyone would be taking everyone else's sites down with bullshit notices all the time for kicks.

Shit, feel for you. Hope it sorts asap. :(

you running paysites there and had DMCA issues sorted in your favour then.

[Johnny Kleenexxx]

he's quite a well known scumbag as it happens..

but as far as i'm concerned he's lost me money . . so its open season on him

Jesus. So are you literally waiting for DNS to propogate at this very moment?

[Damian]

Oh shit. So, some 9 post cunt comes along, you have a go at him and he gets this shit done.

I wouldn't want to be in his shoes.

I really wouldn't.

precisely

imagine if Geezer had welcomed the cunt ?

[smoothballs]

you running paysites there and had DMCA issues sorted in your favour then.


I hear u, but aint that the risk with any hoster? was just trying recommend a good hoster! Lets face it, unless you have your own server then whoever we host with have your balls in their hands,simple as a flick of the switch !

[-HF]

I hear u, but aint that the risk with any hoster?
no.

[SGS]

I hear u, but aint that the risk with any hoster?

Of course not.

[smoothballs]

So you guys dont have your own server and trust 1000 % with who you host with?

[-HF]

define 'own server'. then explain why you can trust it fully.

[Johnny Kleenexxx]

page 3 of "Mr Fitch's one little scam too far.." thread

I hear u, but aint that the risk with any hoster?
nah mate.. seems obvious to me that its Dreamhost that fucked up royal

nobody here would run ANY paysites if ONE bullshit email was all it took to down them

i expect a guarantee against this type of situation from Webair

or i'll be moving yet again..

[smoothballs]

define 'own server'. then explain why you can trust it fully.
was thinking "in house" you got it set up to your own needs,so you are not at the whim of a hosting company that could pull the plug in anyway they see fit!

Fuck sake I'm just a affilate!when hostgator pulled the plug on me it felt like a world had crashed down around my ears! Hate to think what I would of been like if it was my sole income!

[Johnny Kleenexxx]

So you guys dont have your own server and trust 1000 % with who you host with?
what are you talking about fella ? lol

are you suggesting i literally serve my own sites from my office ?..
unless i knew what i was doing.. i'd risk far more downtime doing that
in fact.. who here DOES run their very "own" servers ?.. out of interest..

[Johnny Kleenexxx]

was thinking "in house" you got it set up to your own needs,so you are not at the whim of a hosting company that could pull the plug in anyway they see fit!
my server would then be at the mercy of my cat, my electric meter, burglars etc etc

[Johnny Kleenexxx]

in an ideal world you're correct mate . . but it's a bit of a drastic step
when all i want is to be notified of a problem PRIOR to any plug-pulling

[Video Rob]

What do you expect with Dreamhost? they're a crappy cheap host along with hostgator and webair

[Scotty.T]

For what it's worth KJ, I've experienced a DMCA served on Webair regarding content I had on one of my sites. All they did was block the offending images, not the full site!!! From memory, they did this without me having any form of contact from them first.

[-HF]

was thinking "in house" you got it set up to your own needs,so you are not at the whim of a hosting company that could pull the plug in anyway they see fit!
if you mean colocation, where you own your hardware but house it in a datacentre, you are depending on the hoster just as much.

if you seriously mean running your own box in your own house, you need to look up what a server room, air conditioned of course, UPS, and getting your boxes linked to a backbone would cost you. that doesn't even include yet that most regular office buildings, let alone houses, have the proper layout or setup to be used as a server farm.

Fuck sake I'm just a affilate!
no reason not to know the basics of networks. at least then you'd understand why 5 buck webspace is commonly shite and/or oversold.

[Johnny Kleenexxx]

What do you expect with Dreamhost? they're a crappy cheap host along with hostgator and webair
agreed.. i know that now obviously.. but thanks for pointing it out yet again

thing is . . according to Dreamhost.. even your all singing and dancing servers
are at risk of the same issue.. regardless of how much you spend.. it's DMCA..

Sorry to hear that you've decided to leave over the matter. I want you to
know that I've not taken sides on the matter, the DMCA process makes it
so the hosting company does not need to decide if someone's telling the
truth or not simply that we comply with the DMCA process and follow the
rules set forth in the law.

I strongly recommend you familiarize yourself with this process because
if this is a scammer who intends to file fraudulent DMCAs against you,
then you will need to know your rights on how to handle the situation
legally (vs. jumping ship to the next host each time)

so are you saying that by spending more i can bypass DMCA procedures ?

[Johnny Kleenexxx]

anyway Dreamhost were a bag of shite before this all happened
they downed our sites intermittently for weeks prior to this
after an emergency "upgrade" in which they failed to transfer
key databases vital for our CMS and other scripts

they then disappeared for the weekend leaving all our sites down..
THAT is why we had a replacement server lined up already..

funny how it took us days to get answers to various tech issues
but it only took them a few hours to trash my whole business..

[Johnny Kleenexxx]

For what it's worth KJ, I've experienced a DMCA served on Webair regarding content I had on one of my sites. All they did was block the offending images, not the full site!!! From memory, they did this without me having any form of contact from them first.
cheers Scotty

seems they blocked the full site.. because this cunt claimed to have designed it
despite the fact i shot every single pic on there.. and the design was 100% kosher

i don't need to steal shit from anyone.. i'm primary producer
just amazed that they don't see fit to issue a warning of some sort
"takedown within 48 hours or else" type thing..
at least that would give time to appeal without losing money

seems we're all guilty of copyright abuse unless we can prove otherwise

not at all reflective of "offline" law

[Geezer]

I thought you moved from dreamhost quite a while ago, surely you ain't telling everyone how shit they are but staying with them?

[Johnny Kleenexxx]

I thought you moved from dreamhost quite a while ago, surely you ain't telling everyone how shit they are but staying with them?
long story mate..

yeah we mirrored the sites on new server a while back..
but couldn't switch DNS until now because the paths within
the CMS were all fucked up on the new server..

paid a freelancer to sort it out.. and it took way longer than expected..
so in the meantime i left the DNS pointing to the old Dreamhost server
and uploaded duplicate updates to both servers.. hoping for a seamless
transition.. this cunt today just accelerated the move.. i was planning
to fully test the new server set-up before going live to punters.. oh well..

[nekrom]

I hope you punch the cunt in the face. But in saying that your a nong for putting a paysite on dreamhost.

[daveydude]

Fuck me John - I've had some server nightmares in my time but this is a doozy. When you're up & running again I'll get some links up to your stuff.

[chloe-dove]

You dont want a cat running your server, if it is anything like mine he will have all the time in the world to chew the fuck out of your cables. Then when you want him to get you a new one from currys he will need to have a wash, a 8 hour nap and dinner before he gets round to it ;)

agreed man. . but i had various blogs / freesites with them for ages with no aggy

the plan was always to upgrade asap with paysites being a different ballgame
so we had upgraded within Dreamhost initially thinking they could handle it
at least until i got used to running the program & stabilised the cashflow
was just trying to keep site overheads proportionate to early site revenue
as still only cottage industry here . . rome wasn't built in a day and all that ;)
