Note - I hold no hard feelings toward Iggy, or Ignat, I understand what he was doing from before, but I have a little angryness here. So here we go.

Recently I have been doing work with www.toxicportal.com (Yes FTP access, Should I post it here?
) , I have been trying to set them up their finances, their advertising budget, because I have experience doing it. I end up making my game, and I give them Primary LIcensing, to bring more traffic to the site.

I am posting this in many places, but I feel you guys should be warned, that this is how they might do business with you. They are nice people, just maybe not the best business practices

After a while, I end up getting kicked out of the site for some unexplainable reason. These are the chat logs.

Thanks... A little retribution =)

- Samuel says:
me and iggy are firing you
Matt says:

Matt says:
Ok, I want compensation for the TP Logo
- Samuel says:
you can take it off if you want
Matt says:
I already sold it with the logo
Matt says:
I can't
- Samuel says:
well.. thats your problem
Matt says:
...
Matt says:
Are you kidding?

You have just sent a nudge.

- Samuel says:
no
Matt says:
Are you sure?
- Samuel says:
yeah
Matt says:
Why?
- Samuel says:
because we dont think your worth 1/3 of the revenue
Matt says:
I never asked for a third of the revenue
- Samuel says:
well... your not getting any revenue
Matt says:

- Samuel says:
yeah
- Samuel says:
and me and iggy dont really trust you enough
Matt says:
...
Matt says:
Whys that

Iggy has been added to the conversation.

- Samuel says:
because
Matt says:
Good reason
Iggy says:

Matt says:
So why exactly don't you trust me?
- Samuel says:
because i dont feel that i can trust you
Matt says:
...
Matt says:
Why
Iggy says:
same same
Matt says:
Ok
Matt says:
But why
Matt says:
You aren't exactly giving a lot of legitimate reasons

You have just sent a nudge.

- Samuel says:
BECAUSE WE DONT TRUST YOU!
Matt says:
THAT IS NOT A LEGITIMATE REASON
Matt says:
WHY DONT YOU TRUST ME
Matt says:
YOU TWO HAVE NEVER MET, WHY DO YOU TRUST EACHOTHER
- Samuel says:
because we dont
- Samuel says:
because ive known iggy for like.. 2 years
Iggy says:
haha thats true
- Samuel says:
and we've worked together
- Samuel says:
and hes earned my trust
Iggy says:
oh yeah
Matt says:
So wait, you're just gonna screw me over then, is that about the size of it?
Iggy says:
trust is a big thing
Matt says:
Thats pretty much what I'm hearing here
- Samuel says:
yeah, pretty much
Matt says:
mhmm
Matt says:
Ig, do you feel about the same way?
Iggy says:
its just
Iggy says:
sorry Matt i dont think your good for this job
Matt says:
For what job?
Iggy says:
the whole thing
Matt says:
So you are saying you don't trust me
Matt says:
So before you wait and see if I am a trustworthy fellow, when I have shown 0 signs of distrust, you are gonna just screw me over first?
Matt says:
Doesn't that scream hypocrite to you?
- Samuel says:
well maybe you shouldnt trust us
Iggy says:
I just dont think we can get much help with Matt on our side,
Matt says:
It wasn't like I was trying to be a co-owner from the site, wanting equal, I was never asking for that. I told you I would help you out with the advertising, and other things I could, and put my games on the site for you guys, to help you guys out, so where the fuck is this coming from?
- Samuel says:
we dont want you to be involved in the money side of things
Matt says:
So instead of saying that
Matt says:
You just say gtfo and screw you?
Matt says:
Without a second thought?
- Samuel says:
yeah, pretty much
Iggy says:

Matt says:
Does that seem, dickish to you?
Matt says:
Maybe a little?
Matt says:
I never ask for anything, I try and help you out, and you apparently don't trust it.
- Samuel says:
exactly
Matt says:
Does that make sense to you?
- Samuel says:
do you make sense?
Matt says:
I think I do
Matt says:
I think I'm trying to help
Iggy says:
man i apriciate your help
Matt says:
Apparently you don't
- Samuel says:
well, we kindly decline your help, thanks anyway
Iggy says:
yeah that
Matt says:
Yeah, decline my help after I help
Matt says:
Do you think its smart to start a portal by screwing people over?
- Samuel says:
yes
- Samuel says:
so people will fear us and know whos boss
Matt says:
...
Iggy says:
loool
- Samuel says:
adn if they dont come to our site, we will kick there ass's
Matt says:
I really don't see what is so funny here
Iggy says:

Matt says:
So do you think a developer will want to work with you?
Iggy says:
Matt?

Omg, that sucks, man!

Wait, you just posted this on the General forum... Keep your threads in one forum.

Also, you posted their FTP account pass. Not very trustworthy I'd say...
Although, if you lost money with this I kinda feel for you. I think.

That's some incredibly lame shit. If you helped at all, they should have given you something for your time. Totally unprofessional. Who are those people anyways?
