It's not, the sense of indignation here is hilarious, but nicky should lose mod status, not because of some fictional breach of trust (on a message board of all things people get serious) but because now that sig pixels are a no no it would be extremely likely that he would start to abuse mod privileges to keep his product up to date.
lolwhat.
I just noticed this and PMed you. I also checked my email three times to make sure that I hadn't just recently missed something, but no, I've responded to every single email in my WP Smart Tools inbox, with the exception of one called "FREE GAMBLING MONEY ONLINE" which was just spam.
If I'm not receiving your emails, or you're not sending them, feel free to grab me on AIM (wpquickaffiliate) or via PM here.
Paying $50 for something that is rendered useless by a $2 payment. Almost good enough to be part of LPLockdown 2.0.

I don't get why everyone is focusing on the quality of the product or its glorified IP list. Yes, the product is at best useless, you are creating a new footprint, you are exposing your campaigns to someone with rather questionable motives and in return you get to dickroll some Indian schmuck or redirect Wagenheimers WF gang (that is if they manage to actually upload the files). But it's not like anyone here actually has a problem with selling shitty products.
I'm also not sure why everyone is so hung up on the whole IP logging issue: They have less information on you than any site you've visited in the past. There is no way to properly scrub the list and have anywhere near 150k records. The question is not if they have false positives but how many and whether you're only going to lose out on a sale or risk getting your account banned. Oh and the upside? Possibly educating some DP member about the wonders of spinning genitals. Which you get to pay $50 for.
Oh and I particular loved the challenge to split test their list of random IPs vs. not gambling with your account. I'm not really surprised they say they saw no difference whatsoever. The thing is, there is virtually no way that any 150k blacklisted IPs will, not with 1500 MM assigned IPs in the US alone. The numbers would have been the same whether they scrubbed the original list or not.
You are paying Nick $50 a month and taking a gamble on them not jacking your campaign, them not blocking an adwords rep and/or real customer so that at best you are where you would have been without the service. Essentially you are paying someone to drive potential customers to your website and then paying these guys to make sure not all of them get to see it and trusting them to not fuck it up. Brilliant.
But in any case, as Nickycakes said, those that are satisfied with the product haven't posted in the thread, implying either that he has no happy customers or.. Eh, let's not kid ourselves. What I instead want to know is how someone could look at this and actually decide to go ahead with it. I don't see the subscriber base peaking at more than 150 customers. And I'm sure Nick wasn't expecting people to circle jerk over it. Almost looks like someone is desperate for cash. Which ironically I believe he said about Paul back then.
^^ Being an Indian myself, I find your reference to "some Indian schmuck" highly offensive and stereotypical, and ignorant.
Lets not start the semantics debate again.
He wasn't saying all Indians are schmucks OK?
... so damned sensitive.
Pretend I meant you if that makes you feel better.
Or accept the fact that a lot of DP newbs are Indian selling each other $5 Adsense books with resell rights and thus it kind makes sense.
P.S. Interesting use of stereotypical there.
P.P.S Calling someone ignorant solely because you happened to be of that nationality is rather narrow minded, no? It's almost like the story about the pot and the kettle and stuff.
@gopher: Actually, there is less chance of anyone from India falling for it, because most of them have dynamic IPs which change every time they connect.
@mailinatorm: Call him back - say that he is an English schmuck. Problem solved.
Many "popular" guys here had signatures probably meant for IP collection - in one case, it was so obvious to me because the image was of 1*1 size.
Another point: no offense meant to these guys, but: for a while, I thought popeye and hellblazer were jobless guys hired by someone to start controversial threads here, while that guy (the one who hired them) posted in the same page with an image signature, collecting the IPs. I just could not believe that they were real. Took me a while to realize it wasn't so.
If somebody collects my IPs, they will end up with hundreds of proxy IPs, and a few IPs of airports, hotels and other public places. Considering the fact that there are others accessing forums like me, and considering the dynamic IPs, 150,000 is a possible figure.
Though a significant percentage of those IPs will be useless.
