SneakyDave Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) For a few months now, VBResults / TMApps has convinced Howie to use his desktop notifications addons plugin that he's been promoting all over the place, in place of the original native app that he was selling a year or so ago, as the answer to all forum admins' questions about the availability of a mobile app for their web sites. FFS, I don't even know what the hell this thing is anymore because it's been through about 6 different name changes. Anyway, it appears anybody on TAZ that uses this push notification of this add-on to get updates on threads, or other alerts, gets redirected to an ad on the tma.li ad network, which is managed by shady and shitty vBulletin mod developer "vbresults". So vBresults gets paid for anybody using this "feature" on TAZ? Lol, is that right? Does Howie even know this? I doubt it. Also, at least on mobile, TheAdminZone.com favicon is replaced with the vBresults' shitty tma.li favicon, which even makes it more confusing for anybody that has TAZ bookmarked. Jesus. Maybe if you have TAZ bookmarked, you deserve that I guess. Of course, Howie isn't around to answer any questions, but to anybody not in the know on how stupid things are on TAZ, somebody would think vBresults was managing TAZ now. A new mobile app!

SneakyDave Posted March 6, 2018 Author Posted March 6, 2018 This is how the spammy redirects are supposed to work at the moment, because YOU KNOW it's gonna change about 30 times in the next 2 weeks: [ATTACH=full]2042._xfImport[/ATTACH] Everything is so half assed with this guy, ffs. This is the "sample" link that will show an ad to anybody trying to visit TAZ to see an alert. https://tma.li/samples/gateway-ads.html 1 Quote "I wonder if wife Susie knows about the vile crap he posts on his site and how it fits in with her "youth ministry"?" - Dr. Howard Rosenzweig, former owner of TheAdminZone
Guest TMA Con Man Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 He's changed the name of his mobile app about 20 times on XenForo forum and even got his hand slapped last time he did it by Chris D because he renamed it some spammy name the last time. WTF does he keep changing the name for anyway? Quote
Guest Scam Artist TMA Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 vbresults aka Steven Wade, LancerForHire, is a fucking scam artist, stay far away from anything he is involved in. Quote

Scrotnig Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Oh it's "LancerForHire" is it? Brings back some, ahem, interesting memories. All makes sense now. All the more reason to stay away from TAZ, as I have done for many a long month now. Quote "GRIMM is a GAY LORD. And I don't talk to GAYS!" - Gary Thomas Bolton, 2002
Guest Interesting Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 I didn't know he was also known as Steven Wade and LancerForHire. That tells a different story about him then, those two have a bad history from vBulletin of being con men. Quote
Kent.S Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Ahh yes, LancerForHire, vBresults, TMA, or what ever he calls himself has scammed plenty of vB users, as well as threatened to sue vB for people leaving negative reviews about him and his scamming ways. Here is proof it is the same frigging joker, Moneybookers Integration [Paid] [Deleted] He should not be allowed to advertise any addons on any official site, he is just a con man. Quote

Kent.S Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Well one look at the chain of command on there would tell you that no one really cares about protecting users, only concerned with post counts and activity. The frigging site owner goes into hiding when a server, security issue or a concern with vBturds addon is questioned. Quote
Guest Double Standards BASH users Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 I find it amusing you all go out your way attacking this TMA guy when you welcomed that XF scammer HOOD on this forum who ripped people off for $1000's dollars and has not even attempted to pay a single penny back to people since on XenForo. Talk about double standards with you lot..... Quote
SneakyDave Posted March 8, 2018 Author Posted March 8, 2018 So you open up a newtab in your browser, and the TAZ icon is replaced by the TMApps logo. Niccceee.

Guest The Sandman Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Why do you have my site bookmarked when I banned your dumb ass years ago? Quote
SneakyDave Posted March 12, 2018 Author Posted March 12, 2018 Why do you have my site bookmarked when I banned your dumb ass years ago? Wong dumdum! It's not a bookmark list. It's just a few icons of sires that hav been visited. Looks like it is based on browsing history Quote "I wonder if wife Susie knows about the vile crap he posts on his site and how it fits in with her "youth ministry"?" - Dr. Howard Rosenzweig, former owner of TheAdminZone
Kent.S Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Why do you have my site bookmarked when I banned your dumb ass years ago? It's not your site, it belongs to vBturd now. Quote
SneakyDave Posted March 14, 2018 Author Posted March 14, 2018 TAZ's favinon logo is now an unreadable dollup of blue ink.
