Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

its really me ;-)
I figured it was time for my 6 monthly stir up! hehehehhee


Regarding the Shemp situation, we all went oprano on his ass, but honestly that dude had no intention of sharing any real information with us about his business model - just like none of us really did when we were at the top of the food chain.

The food chain moves, and as with every industry but this one more than any, the most important thing is keeping up with changes and staying on top of moving technology. A lot of us made the mistake of thinking things should stay the same, because it worked for us.

And look at it this way ... why would anyone want to answer serious questions about their business to doubters, when he could be getting his ass kissed by morons who don't know any better?

Its the Lensman/GFY principal - better for the ego to be the king, even if it is king of rotting garbage.

Proggy does well. Thanks for asking. Carnaval is over and I am back on the west coast. FYI, Gonzo, in case you didn't know, they have internet in Brasil and Argentina now. Hell they even have cell phones. Just thought I would keep you au current with modern technology.
As for pee pee stuff, well, that is part of the reason this thread exists....because of those kinds of posts. I don't run away. I just don't want to be part of that childish shit.
I was just surprised at your admission, that is all. I thought you were one of the ones that actually did well on the net.
Good luck and I hope you can pull the board up by its bootstraps. It does have a lot of potential and at least the traffic is now real.

JR, why is your avatar all about a man's butt?

Is there anything you want to get out, er, um, off your chest? ;)

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

i play racquetball a lot.

when i first looked at it, i noticed good stroke mechanics... when you looked at an animated gif of a guy with a racquet, a ball and showing him hitting the ball and you only noticed his ass.

weirdo.

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

Naw man... Ive never said I was an internet player. I made a considerable amount of money in the IT field during the dotcom ramp up.
I had 2 hobbies during that time. Forensic data recovery which starts at $300 an hour and then the adult web on the side. The BBS ended up morphing into a 5 letter domain name.

For me IT was a lot more profitable. Biggest mistake I ever made was having a hard time accepting people would pay for what several of us were extracting for shits and grins out of the newsgroups.

Homegrown BBS and Wild Rose Net were the big shits of the day making money on dialup and translating it to the web. As far as I know they have both kept on keeping on.

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

I just added points for this, but then took them away.

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

Personally I only do this for money. For shits and giggles, I travel. If you stay focussed on the profit, fun happens. This is a great business and is very profitable. I have been doing it longer than most here and have been through the web board mill as you know. I have to say, the topic of this thread is right on the money. Business happens between friends. The less you pitch it, the more actually happens. If I have to hear Joe Shoe pitch it one more time, you can gag me with a spoon. This place just aint a lot of fun anymore and you cant force folks to have fun. And btw, just to let you know and trust me there is no rancour intended, just passing it on to you, this board is down an awful lot and many times loads really slowly. I have no idea why and I only say this with the best of intentions so you can look into it.

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

Ill pass that information along to National Net.
I have no problems getting to it but Im up the street from them.

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

good luck

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

your an idiot Rhetorical. why do you still come around here ?

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

Joe, you are a newcomer to this business. You haven't been around long enough to know what an idiot is. You are still struggling. I only offered some advice. I have watched your machinations over the last year and it is not an impressive show. You might do well to listen more. Or you can keep on believing the sky is not falling.

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

sad thing about you is you are jsut wasted , pisss without any idea of what you talk about.

good luck to you rhetorical, I hope you find a new place to spill your same old song of bullshit .

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

really? I actually haven't had any trouble since they switched it all over to NatNet, in fact the load times have been around twice as fast for me

hey Gonzo, maybe you all should install some sort of monitors on the server just to make sure

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

Thats the reason you host with NatNet. They take care of all that shit!

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

what kind of monitors do you all have set up?

the one I have on my server is sweet, it alerts me and my admin by sms any time there is anything down or non-functional



rhetorical, just out of curiosity, you seem to have a real deep seeded hate for oprano and what it has become, why do you continue to post here? this is a serious question, not a jab in any way

I just don't get it

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

Thats a good question for LBBV. I know someone is in the data center 24/7.
You open a ticket they have fixed the problem and logged it before you can refresh the screen.

Oprano and FFC both are hosted with NatNet.

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

I do have monitoring on all of our servers from points across the U.S. and a couple on foreign soil as well. If something doesn't respond as expected, I get an alert, the monitors look at least once every 5 minutes.

I've yet to have anything we have hosted at Natnet fire a single alarm. And I would get one even if the response time was too slow. So not only has it been up, it's been up and moving fast.

I've seen Oprano hiccup a few times, but when I've looked as best I can from the outside looking in, it doesn't appear to be the network. It acts more like it's at the application level. I would speculate that there's more than one database application on the server and when Oprano is slow the database is getting thrashed pretty good.

This is NOT something I would fault Natnet or any other host for, application issues are the responsibility of the content provider.

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

Gonzo, are you saying that Shemp makes 30k a month from all his traffic sites ??
WOW, woopty fuckin doo,
thats chicken shit on the web man.

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

Nope. I have no idea what Shemp makes.

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

Slav... I know you are the man when it comes to selling and buying domain names. How do you determine the worth of a domain?

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

This is a good question, especially today. In fact it sound be a whole other thread Gonzo.

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

So noted

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

I can post nekid pics if ya like!


Sabby:flash:

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

Sar you are right on the money with your points. Some people have a hard time defending their ideas in an open debate, so they take they run and take their ball home.

That thread told me a lot about Shemp, and others.

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

heheh.. no one would object to that dear!! :)

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

Hehe... Okay, I have a lovely "Tribute to Oprano" pictorial of me in my Oprano cap that I am going to post along with the announcement of my site launch (it wont be very much longer).

Hopefully that little peace offering will soften the blow and you wont all flame me too much.

hehe.


Sabby:flash:

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

Your welcome to post any site announcement you have at all.
I have a site design for you if you would like the PSDs etc.
I have no use for them.

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

Let's break away from the action for station identification.
"This pissing match is being sponsored by the good folks at www.oprano.com".
Now back to the action !

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

can I borrow one of those white goats for www.gotherotica.com

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

I love you Gonzo!

kissssssssss


Sabby:flash:

Re: Post quality gone to shit
 

Be very careful....the goats know where you live!
