    god, I hate stupid people

    I got an email on one of my sites this morning from a customer saying she had given her 10 year old son her credit card so he could place one order, and he had gone and placed many more orders on top of it (for other products on the same site, upsells, etc). She said I was at fault and should...

    PayPal Reserve Hold

    I have one website taking payments through PayPal and I get about 1k in chargebacks a month out of about 20k in revenue. They said this rate is too high and they decided to implement a $12k reserve on my account. I've spoken to them numerous times about it and they haven't been able to provide...

    Chargeback logic

    I recently shut down a gaming site I've had for about 8 months due to an 11% chargeback rate that was getting too out of hand. Kids would take their parents' credit cards, buy a few things on the site, then the parents would check their statements and chargeback everything. For those of you on...

    Is nutra dead?

    I had an idea for a relatively untapped niche in health offers, contacted a couple companies about manufacturing and dropshipping some private label products but they seemed pretty lazy and uninterested in taking on any new orders. Is this the general attitude now?

    Internet Lawyer recommendation

    Anyone have a recommendation for a law firm that actually has an understanding of affiliate marketing, copyrights, user-generated content, etc? Out of all the lawyers I know, none of them really specialize in online businesses. I googled "internet lawyer" and called up a couple of the ones on...

    How do filesharing sites host files for so cheap?

    I was signing up for a Mediafire business plan earlier and started wondering how these filesharing sites host files for so cheap. For example, I got the $25/month plan and it gives me 1000gb of storage and 4000gb of bandwidth/month. I've never seen a decent webhost that offers plans even...

    Xrumer infestation

    One of my legitimate content forums has been infested with xrumer spam as of yesterday. I've tried all the different captcha options and added questions to the registration process but somehow it's able to solve all of them, and moderators are wasting lots of time deleting posts and banning...

    Usage stats & site lagging

    I have a site that's getting about 4k uniques and 35k pageviews a day on a Smart VPS with a single core cpu and 2gb ram. It's an image-sharing site that also allows users to vote and comment on images, see the most popular ones of the day, etc. so there are quite a lot of MySQL queries. Users...

    Anyone have a good PayPal rep contact?

    A couple weeks ago they replaced my usual rep (who always replied instantly and was really helpful) with this girl who takes forever to respond, barely even understands the difference between a dispute and a chargeback, and always gives bullshit generic answers. I have a couple questions but I...

    Living alone

    After I finished college I moved back in with my parents. My dad is cool with it, but my mom has been pushing me to move out because getting your own place is the "normal" thing to do. The problem is I hate living alone. Tried it in college, lasted a couple months and then got rid of the...

    Forum spam bot that simulates a real person

    I have a new site with quality content (not a lander) and I've made a big list of forums with a similar audience. I'm looking for software that will register accounts with predefined usernames/avatars/sigs (so I can tailor them to the niche, not generic shit like hollymichaels1), and post some...

    waitwut

    Buyer charged back 3x $100 paypal purchases, won the chargebacks, then charged back the same things again a week later. So basically, they made an extra $300 that had nothing to do with them. Not sure if this is a paypal glitch or if some really stupid cc rep is handling the case. Contacted my...

    Facebook Social API

    Anyone familiar with Facebook's API, specifically the Facebook comment boxes on external sites (for example how 9gag does their comments)? I set this up on one of my blogs, but I'd also like to set up a single comment box on the home page along with each post (to make it easy for users to leave...

So: - asdf.com: icon #1 - asdf.com/lol: icon #2 - asdf.com/haha: icon #3 I tried dropping different icons in the folders, but it always shows the icon from the highest level (the...
