Brad,
if you have had a REAL ego,
you'd make a bid for Oprano like FM and Lensman did 3 months ago....

Mike, liking someone or not has nothing to do with how one sees their business savvy ... after all, i've always respected & looked up to YOUR skills in business.

Tell me, why is it that you only have opposing opinions to my posts when you have someone like brad or buff or another of your similars near by? Something to do with safety in numbers?

Dell, Microsoft and the other companies you mentioned may not have started with an entirely original idea, but they applied their own skills to them enough that their products stand out from others. Brads products don't stand out from anything ... and claiming that he is successful because of his methods of implementing other people's ideas is lame. Brad is rich for the same reason most of us are rich ... LUCK ... being in the right place at the right time.

Only a moron could have been in this industry for as long as he has, during a time when money was growing on trees, and not end up with a decent living from it.

That's like saying that the 10th person to arrive at the goldrush was a clever business person because they copied off the first 9. It doesn't take much skill to rock up to a creek-bed and stick a pan in it.

Even a loud-mouthed, 26 year old FEMALE from the opposite side of the world with no idea how to run a business did ok during this gold rush - it wasn't exactly rocket science. The real test starts now, and ends with the last one standing.

Perhaps the worst part is the hypocricy. The things he has trashed others for over the years are the same things he does to keep himself afloat now. This isn't business savvy, its missing the boat and swimming really fast to catch it ...

>>Money flows to those who know.

and it flows away from those who are bluffing even quicker when one runs out of ideas to imitate (or the tax man jumps in!).

You and brad may have been 'buddies' for a long time and poor wittle brad may always be getting picked on by the big bad cj :rollingeyes: but he's still a putz no matter how much you kiss & defend his fat ass in a public forum.

Let's just hope Brad is as savvy at hanging onto his money as he was at stealing other people's ideas during the gold rush!

Oh and in closing, don't forget an entire fortune can be lost in 1 divorce :okthumb: I've watched bigger men fall from a lot higher ground, while i float somewhere in the middle laughing my ass off. :matey:

Hey CJ.. you know I luv ya darlin'...

but not sure where you say we "ripped off" something... vs.. also adding new ideals and marketing techniques to a working model??

"That's like saying that the 10th person to arrive at the goldrush was a clever business person because they copied off the first 9. It doesn't take much skill to rock up to a creek-bed and stick a pan in it. "

I call it learning from others mistakes... I see it done in everything from pro sports... to mainstream retail and restaurant busiensses...

as for ego.. yes brad has an ego... but alot of it is for fun.. if you really know him.. hes actually a nice person... hes just the type.. if he doesn't like your shoes.. he will say so.. vs candy coating it... some people can handle the truth.. others can't..

one thing i'm trying to decide.. which is worse..
an egotistical person.. who continues to make money... or
an idiot who gets sucked up into the darkside of the porn industry?

but as for now...to each his own...

peace :D

Vick 07-17-2003 12:56 PM

Serge, I haven't known you all your life so I can't say with certainty but
I'd say right now you are having the (best) time of your life

You travel, spend quality time with friends, have a wonderful wife/companion, drink and dine well

So I'd say the chat board business (among other) has been berry. berry good to you

Brad Shaw, owner of freshphotos.com, always includes in his signature this testimonial from Fantasyman:

FM: "Brad Shaw is a rising star on the Adult Net. He runs an orderly business and always pays his Webmasters on time. It's nice to see good things happening to a good person."

Fantasyman of CECash.com writes on GFY: Brad used to have Yahoo's search engine wired, in those days he was a nice guy, believe it or not. He funded himself off of affiliate programs back in those days.

Then, the way Brad got started with paysites was by having Sharky steal Lensman's actual html pages from Lens' Amateur sites. It originally had Lensman's exact code. CE still has Sharky's ICQ log to back this up as a fact.

CE sold him his affiliate program, High Rollers, that's why he still has RAW in his URL's for his affilate program.

Then he asked me to give him a testimonial, so he wrote one and emailed it to me, I cut and pasted it and emailed it back to him. Now he uses that testimonial in his sig, what an idiot, most folks know I can't stand him, but he still uses the testimonial proving what an idiot he is. Little did I know that money was going to corrupt him and turn him into one of the largest and most negative assholes on the Adultnet.

Brad has never had an original idea in his life!! Everything he ever did was someone elses idea or software.

Kaiser can give you advice on how to make "Big Time Green" ... thought I never did get an answer from him on what sites he ran that converted all these programs so well.

Come to think of it there are a few more that always would tell you how well programs converted for them but never could tell you what sites they had that did it....


moot point anyhows. Rumor has it GFY and ANS are about to have a shotgun wedding.

CJ, try taking your head out of your ass, then it may not hurt so bad. KC is right, ever since CJ came onto me and I turned down her advances, she is bitter. She wants what cutie has, a man.

Too bad I do not find a woman on drugs, with a face more manly than me attractive in the least bit.
