I'm considering starting up a Yahoo look alike web site using Links. I have an NT server here doing nothing but collecting dust and would like to make use of it. Here's the deal: I need only one individual, possibly two, to do the art work and design of the site.html file -- similar to Yahoo. I will provide the equipment, database of well over 6,500 plus links into this new service call "YahooSuck.com." I will provide 100% free banners to your site using WebAdverts. Email me at cdxpl@netscape.net to discuss about this project. Hope to hear from you.

You provide only banners exposures?

dreamjedi, please email me so we can start this fun project!

John

What else do you want?

There is nothing much to ask for in a Links' service other than banner exposures. You want actual ownership with administration rights to the database and etc.???

John

I'd be interested in working on something like that, plus it'd be kind of fun

Just in case anyone wanted to know the progress of my Yahoo parody site, http://www.yahoosuck.com , we have a preliminary Links Beta 4 in service now.

Note, the domain name was recently registered by my ISP and the InterNIC has informed us that it will not be in the root servers for querying until tomorrow. If you can't get in, please try again.

Thanks!

John

I am now willing to accept banners from anyone in this forum. So please email me your banner and the link and I'll be glad to have it placed in the rotation FREE of charge! One per site only. Hurry, while supplies last. Hehehehe ; )

It seems jmurphy from www.yahoosuck.com does not keep his
word and I recommend anyone dealing with this person think
twice before offering your services or products to this individual

I had an agreement with Mr. Murphy concerning his yahoosuck.com
web site as follows: For graphic development of the navigation system
and logo's I would have a banner displayed throughout the yahoosuck
web site. After spending some time and creating the graphics for his site
and countless email he does not respond.
1. Since his site is updated daily he is still actively promoting his site using my
graphics.
2. I have sent to several emails several times so he is getting the mail
3. I submitted a site to yahoosuck and it not enters yet other sites
are still being entered into the database, which concludes he is aware
of my contact.
I suggest you do not do business of any kind with this person.
Since I have had several copyright violations in the past I have explored
the copyright infringement avenue and have learned through experience to batch
copyright my graphics and content on a monthly basis.

Sine I own the copyright and original raw files and have a copy of our agreement including all email contact we have had I will pursue the next step which
is contact from my lawyer. Anyone else having a similar problem with a
copyright infringement contact a lawyer it is inexpensive as long as you have
substantial proof. (original files and copyright registration)

I am posting here so you can actually see first hand how the process goes. And
maybe I can help avoid a possible problem for anyone else who may run into
Mr. Murphy I am also contacting InterNIC since it is obvious he has fake contact
info in his registration which is a violation of their terms.

PS: Make sure you always keep your raw files and all email contact, it is very
important to the success of your copyright case. You can also batch copyright
your new images monthly, weekly, etc. Contact the copyright office for more
information they will send you the forms you need free. Since I am a graphic
designer by trade I need to copyright a large number of images on a steady basis,
doing it monthly will save you some money.
