No word from Python yet. On the 11th I sent an e-mail to Mike with Python, he's our account manager according to the website. I haven't heard back from him (or anyone for that matter).

On Monday I'll send out a message to our remaining contact with the company. Assuming he doesn't get back to me, on Friday we'll yank all their websites and I'll take some sort of aggressive action against them on GayGeek. Probably posting a warning to web surfers not to deal with their company or somesuch.

At GayGeek we pride ourselves on providing accurate information about the list we list, so I don't wanna just yank everything and let surfers actively researching their sties to fend for themselves. At the same time, I don't want to send them any traffic.

I'll probably flag their sites as closed and have their pages display a warning that they are not a reputable company to do business with. Python probably wouldn't care if we yanked their listings, but they might take notice if we actively start telling people not to deal with them.

As for talking to Shaft, he's the last e-mail contact I have with Python. So we'll see if he can get things straightened out or not. I'll know more next week.

As for Doug and Jay, we've sent them only a trickle of traffic. I have way more sites listed on GayGeek that I can actively promote, and struggle to even keep up with our new listings. So Doug and Jay has received little attention to me. I normally wouldn't care about the money they owe us (only $25.44), but their website says they sent us a check and if they did then I want my money. Because if they're not going to pay us then I want to terminate our relationship with them before that amount becomes significant.

I'll keep y'all informed how things develop.

PS, Incidentally, I had a billing issue with Rainbow Revenue. During all this bookkeeping that they thought they sent us a small check last year that never arrived. I contacted them regarding the matter and they said they had some software issues around that time and had problems getting all their checks out. They responded quickly, apologized profusely, and immediately resent the check. I like getting my checks on time, but if mistakes happen then that's the sort of customer service I want to deal with. None of this "talking to operators at toll-free numbers that refuse to connect me with a real person or a voicemail" shit.
