Sorry for posting links to another board - But I think in this case it is to show a little support to Weg cash and a barrel full of shit to godaddy.

Read these and you will make up your own minds about this fucking registrar

It's why I've always paid the extra 2c or so a day to use a register that has some kind of technical support and doesn't pull daft stunts. As someone said earlier Directnic understand the biz. They also respond to problems - something unfortunately rare in this industry.

rebel23 10-04-2003 12:38 PM

I have always believed that one should use the cheap registrars for "throw away" domains only. anything important, use directnic/bulkregister or whoever!

BlackCrayon 10-04-2003 12:47 PM

wow, i think i'll be moving my domains off godaddy shortly. i don't spam but still, scary shit.

GrimShawn 10-04-2003 12:49 PM

Keep spamming people, and watch how we all go down

Weg cash are pretty decent people from what I have heard of them - Shit like this won't do them any harm in the long run -

GoDaddy has been making a GOOD name for themselves by shutting down spammers when their hosts won't. WegCash has been spamming and abusing for ages and have gotten away with it thanks to the webhosts and upstream provider whores who have taken money to look the other way. Heres a small sample

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...q=wegcash+spam

They FINALLY got what they deserved. I doubt they have a legal leg to stand on since they violated GoDaddys TOS in regards to abuse related activities.

I think it is rather pathetic that many on GFY support Net Abuse and often criminal behavior if they profit from it. The usual responseis to blame the Registrar, SpamCop or whomever. Just look in a fucking mirror if you want someone to blame.

Good riddance WegCash..... Buh Bye

One word, joker.com. A domain is one word right?

mrthumbs 10-04-2003 01:40 PM

records still not updated:

Domain servers in listed order:
NS1.SUSPENDED-FOR.SPAM-AND-ABUSE.COM
NS2.SUSPENDED-FOR.SPAM-AND-ABUSE.COM


And when they do update it will take a shitload of time to propogate..

Theyre fucked.

cluck 10-04-2003 01:47 PM

I used to have a "whitelisted" account with them but they canned me without pay anyway. Said it was because I didn't use a BP host for my redirection. They probably did that to someone else who got taken for alot more traffic from the way people are talking.

They should just have covered their ass better. Every other precaution in the world is taken but they use godaddy as the registrar.

George Bush Jr. 10-04-2003 01:47 PM

Yup i havent seen much company word yet. I bet they are selling office equipment as we speak..

I wouldnt WEGcash your WEGcheck or you might get a WEGbounce fee :)

Too bad they seemed a nice enough company , but i suppose anyone who sticks their hand in the cookie jar too often, will eventually pay the price.

I know i see alot more spam for other affiliates than for wegcash.

~Ray 10-04-2003 02:30 PM

Leave GoDaddy and use: http://www.domains410.com

Leave WegCash and use:http://www.freeticketcash.com/ps.php?s=ftc&u=dirty see my stats here: http://www.advertisingsex.com/ftc.htm

Both have great support...and remember, send an email to your registrar to lock your domains. Save a headache.

makefuckingmoney 10-04-2003 03:02 PM

Anyone using porn and having go dady as their registrar is a not too bright

kingfoo in jail yet?

Mike AI 10-04-2003 03:06 PM

Funny to watch all the bottom feeders pop up....

WEG has double in opt in mailers, a legitimate business.... when you have 7-8 million members in a mailer, you are bound to get a handful of complaints.

What is 2-3 complaints per 8 million e-mails? Statisticly 0.

Those who think Spamcop is a good thing - you are naive. Spamcop is a BUSINESS.... they have upsells, they are in business to make money. They are NOT in business to end spam.
Trust me.... There will be a lot more coming out about this.

Rictor 10-04-2003 04:54 PM

Wow.

Aussie Rebel 10-04-2003 04:54 PM

It's great to see big companys doing something about spammers, Program owners are just letting it happen these days, so I reckon right fucken whack

WEGCashZimm 10-04-2003 04:56 PM

Since there are few threads running here I?d like to address some comments that have been made on this board.



- WEGCash does not spam, WEGCash for those of you who have been living under a rock for the past 5 years has been running the Join4Free email program. This is a double opt-in email program, not some spam operation.

- As to any suggestion that WEGCash webmasters need to worry about their checks bouncing, this is complete nonsense. WEGCash has been paying webmasters on time every time since (1999) and will continue to do so. As has been mentioned by Tonda already, we intend to compensate webmasters for downtime that was caused by issues completely outside of our control.

- With regard to the smart comments that we willingly and knowingly accept spam traffic, this is absolutely not true. WEGCash only accepts opt-in email traffic, if an affiliate is found to be in violation of our policy their account is terminated. It is as simple as that.



Now for those of you who are living in some dream world and operating under that assumption that there is a single program out there that has not had to terminate an account for spam, keep on living the fantasy. This can and does happen to affiliate programs of all sizes and it is an unfortunate reality of the industry we operate in.

brand0n 10-04-2003 05:45 PM

any more news on this? wegcash.com is fine for me...

Zimm, you guys are handling this situation with professionalism and class. It's too bad assholes like godaddy think they can get away with stuff like this.

I hope you guys get the matter resolved quickly and own go daddy by the end of next week. ;)

sextoyking 10-04-2003 07:50 PM

Mike,

Well said!

Weg is a first class operation and has been so for many years.

Peace

I'm not too sure who to believe, all I know is what happened with me regarding weg. I was using chat bot traffic around a year ago to promote them when I supposedly had a "whitelisted" account. The person who "got" me the whitelisted account was a spammer who was pushing tons of signups and he said I wouldn't be termed. I pushed a bunch of signups until the check was supposed to come and got canned at the last minute. When I asked the guy he said the weg rep said it was because I was using a free host. He kept spamming and as far as I know his account is still active.

The only other experience I had with weg was a few weeks ago when I unloaded some very niche targetted PPC hits to J4F v2 and did absolutely horrible, only made back a fraction of the costs. As far as that goes I just blame shit traffic though. I might try using it again with different traffic.

Register.com just sent me an email stating if I didn't update my contact info they could cancel my domain that I've had for 3 years! I don't like Register.com
