Abstract, JG, and Proper, quit the pissing match and please try to get back on subject. JG, a little honesty goes a long way, and first impressions are never easy to repair. Nobody's saying that you have an easy job, but it's one that you volunteered for and not one that was forced onto you. There's plenty of other agents, producers, directors, and friends of the stars on there who are able to publicize the girls without the deception you resorted to. Please do your girls right and behave in an honest manner here. "I do not as a rule seek advice about food from thin people..." - Jeffrey Steingarten
well i hope agents dont fuck this up by booking her for scenes she may not be ready for this girl has the full package and could truly rise to the top imo if she dont get scared off..

Wow! You're really doing alot to make the members of ADT interested in your girls. All you do is insult us. I wish Steph had banned your suitcase pimp ass.
Yeah and a lot of them quit porn soon after , did take a look at the stars on their site , especially those who are new in porn? How many of them continued? I?m also wondering what really is the interest of an agent who presumibly knows that the girl will most likely quit from porn after a shoot with them , I mean usualy an agent get a percentage of what a star earn, right? So if the girl has a breakdown and left the scene without being paid or if she finish the scene but doesn't continue what are the incomes for an agent? What interest does he really has to continue to book girls for them? just some thoughts
Let's see...you admitted to being an imposter in your first post as yourself and have since tried to justify it, unprofessionally at that. What else were you expecting? Here's one of the ways you could have gone about it: You could have posted as yourself introducing your new clients. If they didn't want to come on ADT, you could say so and promise to be a go-between for folks who had questions. There's a Porn News forum for press releases you could use too. If your clients had Twitter and/or Facebook accounts they were active in, you could tell us about those. You could have told us about official Twitter and/or Facebook accounts you were maintaining on behalf of clients but yet everyone would still know you the agent were posting and not posing. I'm betting professional conduct and courtesy like that would have gotten you a lot farther than being a pompous poseur has.
^^ Its highly doubtful, the 8 post they've made in about 6 of them he is bitching and moaning about having to justify himself as "Agent Posting As..." I draw your attention to his first post on this thread: "Hi guys,I'm Nova from the Dallas/Ft Worth" - They are using the word "I'm" to me he's deliberately trying to mislead everyone else by pretending to be her. Truth be told he's probably found some pics of cute amateurs on the web and is now attempting to use this as an 'In' for the porn biz. And if he is legit these girls need some serious help with finding a new manager.
You reap what you sow. You come here perpetrating a fraud, and then to top it off JUSTIFY the fraud when members have made good suggestions on how you should go about promoting your girls and agency here. Not to mention this isn't the first time you've done this shit. So spare us this woe is me shit. ----Dread----
Here's the thing a lot of people, ESPECIALLY GIRLS, don't realize: claiming to be a talent agent is serious business. It's a regulated profession and states like New York, New Jersey, and California REQUIRE that anyone claiming to be an agent be licensed and carry a bond. Add to that that this guy may be lining girls up for work that they may not know the risks with, and I start to get really ticked off. It gives agents a bad name, it gives the industry a bad name, and it does harm to women.

@ClayraBeau, do you realize you just posted an 8 pages long text on a Star Crossed thread about Nova Brooks that has nothing to do with Nova Brooks? Talent Agency License Requirements By State? What the heck? Sure it is somewhat your reaction related to your feelings towards her agent JGModels which you don't know anything about, yet other real pros here deal with JG regularly and have no problems with. And you did this after creating a thread about JGModels that already has been locked for being completely out of context (too bad cause I liked it), yet you keep on posting unrelated content to unrelated threads? Why is it that I feel a double standard here? Why is it that I feel a single minded community here? Yes, I play the devil's advocate, but in this case, we need it bad. Very informative info though, great, but completely wrong place. Attach a text file or a link or something, or use the edit button and make it right so you can prove ethical rules you believe in apply to yourself.

If you knew how to use ADT, you would find out who started this debunking by checking my first posts on ADT, ever. I even got a pm from killbillvol69 telling me "we got it" and that my post sounded angry towards the "scam" and that they decided to plug a tag under some of JG's accounts. I even suggested to do so for JaydenLee which they still haven't done so far. Now who's the paranoid schizophrenic, needs a real life check, medication, and intervention? There were some hints before on Molly Bennett thread and Shay Parker thread, but things started to unravel right after my first post on ADT and the "Agent Posting as" implementation on April 1st, you fools.
OK all of you need to relax. Abstract Data Type: you came in angry, trying to make sure everyone knew JG was posting under his girls' names, and now everyone knows. But now that everyone knows, you seem to be getting angry at everyone who is as angry as you were in the first place. What gives? Blomqvist: you seem to be the most angry of everyone about JG posting under his girls' names. I'm not gonna say you shouldn't be angry, because you should, just as many others are. But you seem to be more angry than the rest of us. So to you as well, I say: what gives? edit to add: and more deactivations may yet happen. But please let the admins handle it (not the mods, who don't do the deactivations). Edited by - killbillvol69 on 4/6/2012 11:19:11 PM

Nothing gives. I now have a moderator on ADT saying in a post I can refer to that I was trying to make sure everyone knew JG was posting under his girls' names. If it doesn't make a difference to you, it makes a huge difference to me and to all of us, including the ones thinking I am JG or no better than JG. Besides, you keep bringing up the angry factor where I don't see it. Blomkvist, were you angry? I don't think so. How could one get angry in a forum, over the internet, for such a trivial matter? killbillvol69, you seem like a cool mod, our pm exchange was pretty good, Blomqvist didn't know, nor did the others, and no matter what I say, only you guys (mods) will be trusted, not me alone. Thanks for giving me credit, finally.
Hey yall my agent is not making me me do this scene for facial abuse,I want to do it,if you all have enough time on yr hands to worry about whether or not he posting for me or not then you all have problems,I knew my agent I was on here posting my updates for my shoots and I actually encouraged him to do it.This is supposed to be my page for my updates and now its all drama about my agent who is a desent guy and please I would like for my thread to go bak to normal :)

Nova Brooks, if really you, this thread can go back to normal anytime as long as when your agent is writting, he writes "JGMods:" on top. When you're writting, you write "Nova Brooks:" on top. I you do not feel like writting, then don't. Ignore criticism, stay positive, let the discussion flow. Your agent can keep us aware of your assignments, post some exclusive pics, keep the momentum going, while your true fans would like to hear from you once in a while, as much as possible. How tough could that be, really?
@Abstract Here's the thing: Where's this "JG Models" based out of? If you want to know if he's legit or just a suitcase pimp, his location base is paramount, and frankly, what better place to leave all that rich, important info than in a thread that has essentially become about sham agents. The bozo wanted to hijack ADT to use as a way to advertise his "product", and it's instead been hijacked to hilight an important problem in the industry we all care about. @Nova, if that's really you, why would you start shooting scenes with a site like FA that, I guarantee, will beat the shit out of you. You're pretty, young, and have a future ahead of you, so I'll give you the same advice that was given to me AFTER I tried to kill my scene with them: "Just remember that they won't ACTUALLY kill you". If that doesn't tell you what they're really about, and it really is your fully informed choice to go into a scene that puts you in danger, then god speed hon. @ All Mods: What if ya'll instituted a fan sign check like Freeones does? I've got no problem flashing my tits under a sign that says ADT and the date, so why should anyone else? [Image not found DB]

I'm not so much angry as flabbergasted that JG is making such a mess of the boards. It would be one thing if he was doing it under a thread for or about agents - which pretty much nobody would be reading. But, he's instead doing it in threads related to specific girls. Like most readers, when I check out a thread about a specific girl, I'm just looking to see what she has been up to, what movies she's been in recently, etc. I think most of us could care less whether some "agent" is upset because a young girl just dipping her toe into the porn world backed out of an anal scene. That little drama shouldn't involve the fans. It just seems counter productive to why most of us even visit this site. Hopefully that explains how I think a number of us have been feeling reading this stuff over the last couple of weeks.

Clayra, we're all for verifying boobs (thank you!) but honestly we've never had a real problem with impostors until JGModels. Perhaps we'll have a special status for performers who shown us the boob proof...
Can we make an immediate exception if Ron Jeremy wants to join??? "I do not as a rule seek advice about food from thin people..." - Jeffrey Steingarten
I would like to second, third, and fourth the motion to add the "Ron Jeremy Exception" if the need ever arises!!! Just sayin... Also, @charn is correct, BUT, that's if the girl tries to press charges. That can take a lot more bravery than most of us have. We get "slut shamed" all the damn time as it is, and told we should know better. It's better to squish little bugs and suitcase pimps before they get a chance to bite anyone in the ass.

^I'm not sure if you followed this tory from the beginning but in case you didn't then the reason why I and every other poster thought we were talking to the model was because the agent pretended to be her and it's only this week that the moderators have added a little note that now says agent posting as model the the profile of the model

But since it's been the agent posting as you all along, why should believe otherwise that it's anything but more of the same? Geez, we all might not be the sharpest tacks in the box this fine Sunday morning, give us a little credit.

Yeah, I've since changed one of my posts. I just was responding as I read a post not realizing that I was only on page 1 of a 3 page post.
