Yes, I stole this headline from Turbolapp when she made a thread about it in the mod section on WF. (Also the drama there about this is just as thick)
Anyway…
What the fuck? Why? How the fuck did this shit storm happen?
If you haven’t been following this drama at all, let me paraphrase.
1.) Nickycakes releases a product that does something. It addresses the issue that there are a bunch of no-talent ass clowns who rip landing pages. It will block about 96% of them but anyone with half a brain could get around it.
2.) Uber Affiliate waits in the the shadows for what seems like a year. He probably has cut mark on his wrists to “release the pain” from when Nickycake’s destroyed his UberCamp. Uber makes this thread which exposes a number of holes within Nickycakes’ software.
3.) The Wickedfire Mob gets offended that Nickycakes would sell a product to them. Collecting IPs, not offering a self-hosted version, lack of trust, etc etc etc.
4.) Wickedfire members get sand in their vagina and bash away at their keyboards in a rage from their mothers’ basements. At this point, I have no clue what anyone is arguing about anymore because I don’t fucking care.
5.) There are like 5 threads dedicated to this situation with close to 30,000 views.
You people are acting like Nicky raped your fucking mothers or something. If you don’t like it, don’t buy the fucking product.
If you’re sad your IP got recorded, well YOU GOT GOT!
If you just hate Nickycakes, then you’re probably with 50% of people in this field. Love him or hate him.
If you’re taking great joy in the opportunity to bash Nickycakes, waiting years for this moment after all the shit he talked about people, then you are Uber Affiliate.
Personally, I think Uber is mad that this product didn’t exist when the bid prices for “chat” keywords skyrocketed.
The problem I see with this product, aside from all those issues addressed in the thread, is that it has an incredibly small audience (people who actually make money with affiliate marketing), and it was released like a year too late.
I would have to hire a full time writer to begin to scratch the surface on this drama. I really don’t give a fuck, so if you want to throw in your three cents, go to Wickedfire.

Really? Is that the best you could come up with to answer the cry for a PPC.bz post. Epicness was expected..a bored rant was delivered.
uh yes it is actually. this whole drama is boring to me.
remove him from your blogroll for being a fag!!
OH HEY IT’S THE FAGGOT THAT RUNS ON TYLER CRUZ’S CONTESTS!!
perfect response.
this makes me wish i hadn’t quit netstartup… or blogging… or posting on wickedfire… eh..
nah.
Weakkk I came for the lulz and got disappointed. No hilarious spin to the drama? But I’m with you, I don’t give a fuck. Alright back to work…
“ahhh, i’m not picking sides… i don’t have an opinion that could offend anyone…”
I come to ppc.bz for incredibly biased affiliate marketing news. This simply does not cut it. Sack up bartard, you can do better!
Shut up Irwin this was a good barman post. Don’t make me get out the broom stick.
sorry.
Well the thing was, even though Cakes “destroyed” UberCamp, I still had quite a few members that paid $200/month. Once the forum activity really seemed to die off I canceled everyone’s subscription and just shut her down.
Ultimately was it a botch? Yeah probably, I ran out of information to divulge that would be worth $200/month so I just shut it down. Did I ever rip people to shreds about their internet marketing products and then go make UberCamp? No. Did I overcharge people for the information? I can’t decide that myself, but I had many many members that paid the subscription until I canceled it all. I think if someone was a newbie, which was my market, the information is worth that money. Not because they couldn’t learn it from me, but because it was correct info and it was all in one place and confirmed.
I didn’t try to make a tool for “my peers” and then grossly overcharge for it. I put a lot of time into UberCamp…months of writing (which I released for free) and then months of forum posting. Nicky charges $50/month for a tool multiple programmers told me would take a couple days to build. And the design looks like they spent a day on it.
Anyway that’s just my reason why LPLockdown is such a bigger fail than UberCamp was. So am I upset that Nicky “pwned” UberCamp? Haha. No my friend, this is just justice at work.
Broski, I liked your post. You owned them, it was payback for uber camp, I applaud you. I don’t applaud many.
But at the end of the day, who gives a shit. Get money + Get paid.
Justice would be you stop wearing those fucking gay ass headbands.
I did quite a while ago.
Post fail.
go fight a werewolf
I wish to cancel my 7 day trial… The last post was 6 days ago and then this. This is a scam!
team jacob!
oh no not my IP address!
I agree, this is some stupid drama. Someone get Dennis Yu to write another guest post somewhere.
Haha your wish is his command (see new PPC.bz post).
If these affiliate geniuses are sad about their IPs being recorded, they shouldn’t be posting on a forum that has Google Fucking Analytics installed.
“How did Google figure it was me? I gots a new IP!”
Barman this post was awesome til I reread it and saw you mentioned turbolapp in it. That is really sad. I actually frowned like this :-(. Why? She doesn’t know anything and walks on a treadmill. Case closed. I’ll accept a written apology.
PS. I didn’t actually “miss” her mention in the first line. I was just so taken aback by it that it took a few minutes to sink in. It was like taking a knife to the heart.
LOL, those two comments were more hilarious than the actual post
L M A O
i apologize profusely.
Heh. I stole the line from blueyonder in the original drama thread anyway, so fuck you and your split personality.
Split personalty? The fuck? Turbostation comms must be fuzzy. Alert the media.
Reading through all 20 pages of the Nicky drama was kind of like watching that fat kid fall though ice.
…It was funny until you realized what a waste of time it was.
^^ this.
Your website SUCKS.
I must be arrogant as hell or something – I totally missed anything about Uber in the drama.
I thought the drama was that Nicky was selling a subscription that “WP Smart Tools did” for a one time fee. I didn’t even completely agree that Nicky’s product was equal to mine… hahaha
WickedFire is full of whiners.
hurr durr

Sorry Barman, I’m going to read Matt’s post now.
FUCK YOU MATT
FUCK YOU MATT (2)
You obviously are a pussy and are scared to talk about nickycakes.. You go on to rip Nick THrolson but you are too scared to call out nickycakes cuz ur his bitch
TRUJILLO!!!!!!!
I read a few pages, decided it was really stupid, said so in a post, came back a week later and everyone at WF must have paused their campaigns and/or stopped building sites and links. Fucking strange, I never did read the rest of any of the threads. I did see the short version, hilarious
yo, did you seriously just link to turbolapp in this post?
