Do you take yourself seriously??

I crowd the industry and make it hard for you to do biz with people?

LOL...

Ok you just answered my question...

My God...

Listen to yourself.

Who are your top refererers?? I bet they are firends of mine. And I can assure you I have close friends that you assume crowd the industry whom can certainly outdue any of your top referrers..

What the hell are you talking about?

Seriuously..

Explain to me how I Crowd the Industry for you and make it difficult for you to find people to do biz with.

Go easy on him CJ...hes alrady retired from attending shows...next he will be saying hes retired from posting on boards.[/b][/quote]
Gonzo,
EVERYBODY who made enough by now stopped attending the shows.

The crowd of today is rather boring.

out do in worthless TGP traffic or sign ups?

if cj passes this delicious bet ,
I'LL BET YOU THAT YOU ARE WRONG.

ready to put REAL $50,000 on the line????

I'll post the number of my escrow agent if you are,
I am game.

Yeah but when you aint got nothin...theres nothin to hide.

Besides I managed to have some fun in Atlanta. I had an invite for you and Mike to go too. Mike got a massage instead.

So he copied lensman's business model?!

I agree - its a big achievement to turn a herd of sheep into wool and roast lamb ... but finding 21 year olds who are taken with the promise of bling is not that hard.

You could do it (whatever *it* is) if you wanted to give away tshirts, talk about cars and football and bow to lowest common denominator. The problem is you would have to spend all your time pretending to be impressed by photoshopped license plates and big flat screen tv's.

Does being a shepherd bring enough pleasure to go through all of that?

boner, thank you for keeping the sheep in the field :okthumb: it saved us a lot of shearing time!!

P.S. $50,000 is a minimum because you claim not to be rich.
If you wanna go higher-
I'll be delighted to cover up to $250,000

;-))

and...YES, being a shepperd is VERY good for a soul and the pocket
;-))

...if you like that sort of things
;-))))

Serge you and mike and many of the Oprano people have my respect. Always have.. Even if you guys dont like me or want me here..

But damn.. I always thought of this place as a place with more serious and webmasters, and with people with a better touch of reality....

I can find this kind of stuff over at GFY that cj and gonzo are dishing at me by the boat loads..

cj, gonzo.. Youve made you points and made it clear..

This is your home, and im crowding it.. Dont worry im not here to stay.. With much respect to Mike and Serge, Ill see you all later..

Im Just another Marlin.. Not elite enough to do biz with any of you like cj becasue you cannot distingish the boards from real biz and life..

Anyhow, cj.. You site looks good Ill give ya that.. Its too bad you dont like to do biz with people like me or my kind since we crowd you..

Been to a webmaster show lately? 90% of the people there are a waste.
But I can assure you that I am not one of them..

Think what you want. I wish you would have approached this different. Im always looking for new stuff.

Later kids.. I got sheep to heard over at GFY..

Have fun with the little radio show.. I gotta go wash my Honda Civic.

he's bluffing. Take him BP :groucho:

.....and I got 4 some instead staying home.
I bet I expanded my horizons more than Mike during his massage
;-))))

Im confused....

What or who do you think I am??

I didnt copy anyone's biz model...

Im lost.. Is this some kind of oprano mind game?

To confuse you till you leave?

he's bluffing. Take him BP :groucho:[/b][/quote]
dig, of course I am!
wanna make it more fun and put your own $250,000 for the piece of the action?

with you there,
I'll go to cover $500,000.

CALL MY BLUFF!

hey, it's still 13 mins 'till Sopranos!
;-))))

where you think you going?????
;-))))

Serge.. Hit me up when you come to town..

Dinner on me..

Gotta run..

Much respect to Serge, Mike and Most of Oprano..

Later guys.

not my fight, I'm not BP4L :rolleyes:

9 minutes!!

Awww man dont go away mad.... even Joe enjoyed playing with us. Nobody said they didnt want to do biz....the plastic bling just dont do anything for all of us.


'Sides....calling me a whore kinda made me hard.

I never said I don't like you.
I said I'll poke you in the eye with my thumb for what you posted about me on weasel's board a month ago,
but I still feed you the best sheep afterwards
;_))

I don't share bread with people I don't like
;-))))

certainly you wouldnt want to admit it around here..

Hell Serge has a BP4L badge even but he never tells anyone here about it..

Even the mighty Serge would get lynched at Oprano if he wore that!!

Im confused....

Serge IS Oprano, no lynching here. Get him to do the hand signs and all these guys will be blinging like mad within the hour :wnw:

dig, does it mean you weaseling out on the bet?????

you could have won,
I WAS bluffing
;-))))

e-mail me your e adress at
serge @ oprano.com

and we'll eat sheep at Morrocan place with our bare hands, the way it's done in Morroco
;-)))

I just had to put 175k down on a house in Lomita, doing all my gambling on the real estate market lately ;)

bringing substance kills the thread.

dancing around it is much more fun
;-))

they have done an EXCELLENT job
;-))

even dig got involved
;_))

hahahahahaha,
I sold all mine already,
you picked up a good time to play real estate
;;-))))

and NOW I am out to Sopranos,

Residential real estate almost always holds it's value in L.A., it's really not much of a risk but it's expensive to get in the game. Buying the house is a big chunk, getting remodeled until it's just the way I want it is going to be a big chunk of $$ too... indoor pools don't grow on trees :)

yep, time for Sopranos :okthumb:

Good one Dig :okthumb:


Geez Boner, now look who is taking things seriously?!?!?

Smack talking punk assed wannabe playahs (how cool am I?!?!?!?) who spend more time talking about their bling than making it is my problem with this industry.

This industry has too many webmasters ... simple as that. You and all your friends have taken an industry full of business cowboys and turned it into an industry full of tryhards who aren't here to do business.

I GUARANTEE you that my top referrers are not your 'friends' ... we've never played in the same circles & most of my webmasters have never posted on a board. :okthumb:

I'm looking forward to learning who you are and what you do on this week's 'little radio show' ;-)

As for the weasle...

I used to make some good money with him back in the day.
He turned on me on an instant when it came to some images to impress Mike AI.. Understandable..

But Ive always been cool with his employees those who represnt his company.. And he corrected our misunderstanding back in 2001..

I and my wife really love his wife. We were all frineds before they were married.. Ive always liked everything to do with brad. Always respected him... From robbing his booth of pizzas to try and break the ice of tension to showing him respect on the boards..

Known Brad for many years now.. Done biz with and ate his pizzas for years now. Still not close with em personally, but from what I do know now of him I like em..

I do no biz with him now days.. DOnt buy content, dont promote his sites. He has no reason to be nice to me but he is. I think there is a mutal respect there. His wife has really broght him down to earth. In my eyes anyhow. He was never a dick with me, even when I was Lensman's man at GFY.

I got no probelms with Brad. Nor should I. Shit I look up to him and all he's done, just as I do Lensman, and Mike AI.. I know none of these guys personally, but I respect em..

Other than hanging with these guys, and meeting them at shows, and talking to em on boards or icq I really dont know any of em personally. No matter how much biz I do.

Everyone will tell you Im quite differnet in person than I am on the boards,
Quite different when Im doing biz with people than I am on the boards.
And Im quite different when Im away from the PC than I am on the Boards..


The scarry thing is, here and on GFY many people take themselves way to serious.. ITs not real people.. IF it was, what dicks, assholes, bitches and unstable people we'd be..

Scarry thing is many people on the boards really are like that..
One reason Im taking time off from the shows.. Im just fucking tired.

My wife and I are taking the time to travel to vacation. Not to hang out at shows. 2 shows a year now.. Thats it.

in summary, your entire online personality and everything that goes on at the boards you post at is bullshit ... as the title of this thread says. nobody is talking about you personally, we only know what you've shown us. If there's more, like your last post suggests, why not just be yourself?!

You don't have to take yourself seriously, but business is a different matter ... these boards are business, why bullshit on them about who you are? Yes they are also for some fun but too many have gotten caught up in that and forget why webmaster boards exist - to do business.

Why do you feel the need to have a different personality here than you do in life? Why is it that so many people say the boards 'arent real' and yet we do real business here, meet real people and discuss real topics? What is the definition of 'real' if these boards aren't?

I'm the same person on the boards as I am in person - i'm a bit quieter in person these days (not by choice) but I am who I am - good points and bad. I want people to do business with ME based on who I am and what I can offer them. If someone doesn't like me personally, they may or may not promote my products ... but at least they have been given the opportunity to make a choice about who they are really doing business with.

There are a lot of people who dislike me, a few who hate me, but probably no more or less than you - and you've been fake and i've been real. Whats the difference in the end? Its harder for me to run and hide if I fuck anyone around ...

I guess when you provide quality products you don't need to make up glossy fronts for them & when you do real business with people you don't need to make up personalities.

*shrug*

I'm sure I'd like you in person, and you are probably a really smart guy ... but I live in Australia and don't travel much these days, so you either get to know me on the boards or not at all. I'm sure neither of us will be disappointed if we never meet, but do you see my point about keeping it real?

Boneprone is a sharp guy, like has been said he had the ability to do what not a lot of people are capable of doing.

I agree with CJ though, with the talent boneprone has, he could totally take BP4L in a direction that was positive as well as just a good branding tool.

Imagine if the same network of people could be put together, but actually do or be who they say they are.. or better yet not even need to say who they are , but just be who they are. the sheep still eat, or ruin the food ... why not only allow them to eat when you want them to eat, instead of letting them loose to destroy the hunting grounds?

and of course the whole fake mafia reference thing, is something that can't possibly have a good effect on the industry or it's participants( I am not taking a rest, I plan to be here a long time to come! but since I am so insignificant to the industry as you put it, unlike you and just "taking some time off" this bothers me just a little. being in the clubs, I got to witness the shakedowns up close, they were not pretty even for the innocent ones)
I think the trend seems to be moving into more of a corporate stucture, and wishes to be known as such.... ( the same thing hapened in Vegas, with real families back in the late 80's )

you have so much potential, it is sad to see you surround yourself with people trying to use your name all the time cause they are not strong enough to carry their own. ( some of the people doing the BP4L are good people though, I am not saying all of them or you are necassarily the problem as I posed the question... why not do the same thing but be real, and use all real players?
enough of us good ones do exsist.

Gonzo, your point has been well made with Joe. I will gladly accept being wrong in this case.

Joe, Gonzo has been telling me to pay attention - he seemed to think you were a smart guy trapped in gfy mentality.

Its nice to see a different perspective from switched on webmasters :okthumb:

Welcome to Oprano ;-)

I hope Boneprone will drop the act and come back to chat some more too. He was just starting to make sense then he disappeared :rolleyes:

oh c'mon!
I hate BP getting soft and touching inner self,
I like his board personality from the past much better
;_)))

Why be different online that when you meet people. That makes me distrust folks that pull that shit.
You keep on asking me who am I?

Now I understand why you ask your a confused one....what you see is what you get on Oprano.

COme on back and see if you can do some biz somehow. Joe did...

then you are a SHITHEAD


if you dont have 1 million dollars with your "cult" following, folks claiming bp4l, etc.....then you are retarted!


you've done nothing with the board fame you have.


sure, neither have i, but guess what, i have other businesses, and i'm only 20 to boot, and i will abuse my fame as much as i can in the future.



i dont know you personally, but if you dont have a million and do all your bp4l claiming bullshit, then you are a failure.

bp4l = bullshit poser 4 life. sorry, but i tell the truth, it's a weakness of mine.

if you need a mortage in the 200-400k range, pm me.

i'll answer

fluke, caught on, bp did nothing with it, a thirtysomething guy with a caddy and a internet rep. What a winner, certainly one to be emulated.


bp, 8.7% on a 30yr fixed or i can rip you off on a balloon of you like. dont say no to me like creditors have said to you....think about it.

well, thank you CJ I only want to learn.... but I will always say what I think, even if it is wrong(wich I will admit without hesitation)

But hey sometimes that is the only way to learn something. is to state a position that you feel, and look for the explanation why all side think or see things the way they do.... only then can you truley have some sort of logical perceptions to base your judgements on.

I also think however that , the whole fake persona thing, has polluted the pools of wich we look for business contacts in., So I think I understand what you meant by crowding, and I have a similiar perspective on that as well.
