Now everyone and i can relax ( i was concerned) and enjoy this one of a kind site. Simply the best! [Link]

So, no real reason to go on with the case, from their perspective. Still, it's a little surprising they didn't try to get a nuisance value payment out of you. Or maybe they did, and your counsel told them to pound sand. [Link]

Mostly, I'm happy that our programmer (Drew) will no longer be printing out hundreds of pages of court docs every night, and we can move forward on to more interesting matters. [Link]

Mister Fahrenheit All-Star Member Meh 4655 Posts 10/13	Posted - Apr 16 2016 : 1:19PM I like Stanley's idea of a dedicated in-case-of-emergency account for ADT. Seems as though it's not a sure thing whether we're in the clear: Janitor wrote: It's unprecedented that they didn't try to get something out of us.

Click to expand Additionally, it would probably be the least debatable option, since everyone who contributed did so to support ADT. [Link]

Stanley Moon All-Star Member 4 Wishes Left 346 Posts 8/15	Posted - Apr 16 2016 : 2:51PM I was thinking ADT was part of a business, and the tax rules might be different based on the business purpose (it's not direct revenue). But that's a question for a good tax accountant. I don't have a star by my name but I contributed under the account I use to write reviews. I just want to make it clear: I contributed to ADT and as far as I'm concerned, Drew and Steph (and whomever else might be involved) can do with it as they please. I am not going to get bent out of shape if the money goes to something other than legal defense, now that there's no legal defense required. All I ask is that if it goes to something controversial like a political campaign, I'd rather not hear about it. [Link]
JAGnLA All-Star Member people pay me NOT to get naked 1944 Posts 2/04	Posted - Apr 16 2016 : 11:21PM I am SO freaking happy this shit hole of a case got dismissed - congrats! It's nice to see the justice system working for once. Did you guys make enough in donations to defray the court costs?

If I want to donate money to some other entity or cause, I will do so. If I had donated $30, I'd probably have a different opinion and say do whatever you want with it. But, I didn't donate $30. So, I do care where it goes. [Link]

Actually, knowing that you no longer have to worry about mounting legal fees, I kind of feel more compelled to donate some $ to this site because, for better or worse, it's been an almost-daily part of my life for nearly three years now.

BlackSix All-Star Member pornography wasn't sex but fantasies of an impossibly hospitable world 12377 Posts 9/07	Posted - Apr 18 2016 : 5:50AM Great news, as for the donations, getting a lawyer to sneeze costs hundreds of dollars so I'm sure this probably already cost Drew and Steph a few thousand dollars at least. [Link]
Janitor Retired Porno movies, sexy videos, xxx. Adult DVD Talk at your service. 6409 Posts 11/99	Posted - Apr 18 2016 : 7:03AM ^ it's true. We're still waiting to hear what one of those sneezes is going to cost. For now, we'll hold any extra aside in a just in case fund (still a little nervous.) If you made a large contribution and would like a refund please message Drew or me. We're going to continue the gold star program because in the long run contributions from forum members might be what keeps the forum going. Also, now that I have the t-shirts out of storage we should probably set up a means to order t-shirts. Also, need to shout out a Big Thanks to Videoboy who built a website for the cause - keeptalkalive.com - this kind of support is energizing us. [Link]

Drew Black broken crankshaft 8011 Posts 9/99	Posted - Feb 18 2020 : 10:11AM Bumping up an old topic. I've had some private messages recently that reminded me that I should go back and read this thread. I'm glad I did. I needed a kick in the ass. We've been working on launching a redesign of ADT for quite some time. It's a lot of work and we're way overdue. The posts in topics like this one are highly motivational and remind me why I sit in front of a computer 50 to 60 hours a week recently coding away on this site. We do have something special here. After 20+ years it's too easy to take that for granted. Thank you for making this place what it is. [Link]
Flash Golden Age Classic 11018 Posts 5/01	Posted - Feb 18 2020 : 12:05PM You and Steph built a wonderful place. It is hard to believe that I first arrived here almost 20 years ago, just to ask a question (A question that was never answered even. Although, I do figure if I ever decide to stop visiting my last post will be to answer my first post. At this point that isn't likely though. I have a feeling I'll be helping to turn out the lights at the end reminiscing about the wonderful ride it has been.). What I found was a community where adult material could be discussed -- not as something filthy hidden under the bed -- but as art. A community where the industry itself listened and asked questions -- where the community has been able to help form the future of adult entertainment for the better. A community where I can talk with fans, industry members, and porn scholars. I've even seen two people -- who met here -- get married. How many forums can claim that? How we consume adult entertainment may have changed over 20 years, the kinds of movies being made may have changed over 20 years, but the community that you guys built over 20 years ago is still going strong. Here's to the next 20 some odd years! [Link]
Mass Facialties Deactivated User "Facialized Vol. 7" 2021 AVN Awards Winner: Best Oral Movie 9308 Posts 9/13	Posted - Feb 19 2020 : 12:46AM I gotta admit I was worried when I first saw that this thread got "bumped". My first thought was: "Uh, oh, are they getting sued again?!" I'm very happy to see that is not the case! Anyways, thanks to Drew, Steph and the rest of the MODs for keeping this thing going! It's crazy how this place has been damn-near a daily part of my life for over 6 years! [Link]
The Rub PR All-Star Member Queen of Spin 1310 Posts 9/08	Posted - Feb 19 2020 : 1:45PM I gave you guys money and a free press release for this. Always a supporter of ADT. Glad to see it's not an issue again. [Link]
pringles All-Star Member 1351 Posts 2/08	Posted - Feb 19 2020 : 2:15PM I was happy to help when it was needed, and I would gladly do it again. I've made more friends here than I can count. It will definately suck the day ADT is no longer around. Thank you Steph and Drew (and the mods!) for such a wonderful place. [Link]
