I read a rather interesting post today on GFY for adult wembasters who use CCBill for billing and access to their websites.  The post is for you below but long story short, if you run a CCBill site, check your site.   That’s your bandwidth that you have to pay for so don’t be giving away free access to your site!

check your ccbill htpasswd file on a regular basis to make sure there aren’t non-paying users who still have access to your site.

last year i was looking up a password trader and discovered that he had cancelled over a year earlier but his username was still in the htpasswd file!!! so not only did he have free access for over a year, he was generous enough with his good fortune that he shared it with a bunch of his buddies! when i asked ccbill about this they said this happens if there is a problem writing to the server. when a membership expires the user is removed but if there is a problem with the connection then the user never gets removed. the entire file isn’t re-written, just that line. something doesn’t seem right with that but it’s the story i was told.

well, after reading all the stuff on here lately about ccbill i thought i’d check again and guess what, there were 105 users in the htpasswd file that weren’t paying but had member’s area access!

ccbill said there’s nothing they can do about it and it’s up to the site owner to request a new htpasswd file each month to make sure non-paying members are removed.

check your shit!

TLA Raw is hosting their own little awards this year which they are calling “the smutties”.  I pretty much figure they developed this award thing as a means to promote their own products.  For example, they put in the best movie category POPPORN: The Guide to Making Fuck along side movies like Wicked’s 2040 and Digital Playground’s Teachers.  I’m not saying Popporn’s movie isn’t okay but let’s be real here – not even close to being anything that can be considered in the same category as 2040 or Teachers.

They also listed their POPporn movie in the category of best sex comedy.  And of course the director of that movie, Mike Quasar they nominated for best director and also in the category of best twitterer.  Keep in mind he only tweets once or twice a day, and lately his tweets have mostly just been insults to others in the industry.  Here is some of his insightful tweets that got him nominated for best tweeter.

• This just in: X-Play sues William Shakespeare for trademark infringement over the phrase “To be or NOT to be”. about 3 hours ago via web
• More lesbos today. Good times. about 14 hours ago via web
• In other news, the producers of American Pie want us all to stop using the word “Milf”. 10:22 AM Mar 10th via web
• Jeff Mullen just trademarked the word “Not”. I just trademarked the words “Douche” and “bag” 10:21 AM Mar 10th via web

Really that category should include stars who tweet all day long to their fans like Nikki Benz, Teagan Presley, Eva Angelina and Sunny Leone.

The biggest disappointment was however the category BEST FREAK OUT OF THE YEAR.  They left out a few major freak outs which is of course Shawna Lenee’s well actually she’s had a few but I guess the biggest and most well known one would be on the Opie and Anthony show.  Then they could add in Donny Long for one of many freak outs he has had this year and maybe even Chasey Lain in her battle with Donny Long.

They couldn’t be more obvious with that they are doing.  Do they really think customers are so stupid that they won’t see through this very obvious and blatant attempt at self promotion?  They could have at least pretended to put some effort into the categories.

Now all of this aside, you know what isn’t included?  VIVID – one of the biggest studios out there – and while they may no longer be #1 they are still a major player in the adult industry.  But TLA Raw completely disregards them and doesn’t nominate anything Vivid related in any category – movies, directors, porn stars – nothing.

Is there something going on behind the scenes that we don’t know about?

While it’s true that almost every awards show includes nominations of some kind for Wicked Pictures, Digital Playground and Vivid as a standard – maybe TLA Raw just didn’t agree.  Could it really that the powers that be at TLA Raw found no Vivid product viable in any single category – no Vivid girl worthy, nor any Vivid director or movie???  Could it really be that innocent or is there something going on behind the scenes that we just don’t know about yet?

I guess only time will tell, or maybe we’ll get someone to leak us some information on what could be brewing behind the scenes between Vivid and these guys.

Found another interesting little post on GFY today and this one is rather disturbing, especially considering the fact that it is tax time here in the US.  I never really thought about Paypal or EPass when doing my taxes but holy fuck, what this guy says is right.

Many adult webmasters love to use ePass but did you know they are or could be considered a foreign bank?

ePassporte is headquartered in St. Kitts, part of the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis, the smallest independent nation in the Caribbean. So if you have an account at ePassporte it is a foreign bank account. If you’re a US citizen and your high balances in any foreign bank accounts when added together add up to $10,000 or more, you must file Form TD F 90-22.1 and check the box on Schedule B. If you willfully don’t file Form TD F 90-22.1 the minimum fine is $100,000.

So if you have foreign bank accounts and meet the threshold of reporting make sure you comply.

*** Correction,they are registered in Curracao, while only bank account is in St. Nevis, which either way still makes them a foreign bank.

I hate posting political shit because I don’t want to take sides.  I think both sides suck balls and that’s just the way I am.  But today over at GFY I seen a photo that was so fucking funny I just had to post it.

Although I should point out – it’s a photo-shopped image.  The original which can easily be found all across the Internet said Bush and not Obama.

Alexis Texas is about to take her place alongside two of the biggest names in feature dancing today: 3-Time Best Feature Dancer Teagan Presley and superstar Sunny Leone.  Texas, who also appeared in the AVN Award-winning four-girl scene in Deviance, takes the stage at legendary Erv’s in Allentown, Pennsylvania this Friday and Saturday nights, March 12 and 13.

Please note the flyer is wrong
Eva Angelina will not be appearing

“Sunny and I have been so used to have Eva (Angelina) as our partner in crime on our Divas of Deviance tour.  Having Alexis (Texas) is gonna be different, but I think in an exciting way,” Teagan Presley gushes, “Can you imagine having two of the most famous asses in porn ever on stage at the same time?  It’s gonna be hot.”
