How many of you actually judge someone's standing in this biz by post counts on your particular board of choice?

Damn, I've been in this for near on 5 years now and I didn't EVER post for the first 2 of that.

For the next 2 I generally lurked and read, but hardly posted.

It's probably only been the last 6 months that I have frequently posted on other boards, and even though I read here often, I didn't post.

Now the funny thing about all of that is I would not even consider myself to be in the same Zip code a the real players in this game, and let me tell you, there are more big time operators who don't post or post fuck all than there is that do post often and lots.

Judging a post count is akin to judging a book by it's cover.

On that, if you ever did with say, Serge and ScottyPB come to mind, it would be more fool you.

No offence, but neither of them look half as smart as they really are.

Come to think of it, neither do I.

You're on the wrong board if you're looking for people who believe that.

You're here to get people to agree with you? That's a novel approach. Count me in.

...and what was your name in the "old world"?

BoyToy was Jonas's handle, but you don't sound like him.

Sydney......Is that you, Rob Mac????
;-)))

He he.

No Serge.

Bout 700 miles north of Sydney.

:nyanya:

hmmmm Brisbane branch of the APM
a local! :rolleyes:

I think a post count means shit. In fact, I think that is exactly what it means. :yowsa:

Tim H?! Is that you?

What's with the GFY style intro post?! :rolleyes:

Looks to me like drive by spam to get that new program out there! or are you actually planning on chatting here regularly?!?!? :yowsa:

Hi Carla,

Not Tim H...

Close, but no cigar my Dear...

But good to hear your voice - haven't seen you for a couple of years actually, remember when I used to organize the webmaster dinners?

I'l leave you guys to keep guessing - you have done that before with little success when I have posted in past times...

But I do plan being a regular contributor from now on. It's not ALL about processed meat :agrin:

And did some one say the Brisbane Barnch of the APM...

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Idiots.

:nyanya:

I recognize the ass in the avatar...hahaha

hey CTB, you going to make San Diego? We still need to get together for that beer we missed in Las Vegas.

Hey Buddy Boy,

Nice to see someone who actually DOES know me - even if just by my hairy butt !! :bwave:

Unfortunately, won't be in SD, but WILL be in FLA in August?

I reckon we should knock the top off a couple of 40's !!!

Otherwise, it'll have to be Vegas in January (which I will DEFINITELY be at this time !!), and who knows, you may even get an invite to my wedding....
I've always wanted Elvis to do my second marriage !!!

:stout:

I'm not sure yet about Florida...it's so close to the due date of the new baby, but will have to see how that goes, otherwise will be January for sure.

Wedding with Elvis, huh? Ya know I have a small side business doing spceialty wedding DVD's (taking wedding videos and putting them on DVD with animated menus, chapter breaks, slideshows and even voice-overs (kind of like commentary tracks).

this would have led me to believe it was Daniel Hicks - not many people arrogant enough to come to a board to spam their product and then call those they are trying to do biz with idiots ... :rolleyes:

but I saw him a few months ago and he doesn't organise dinners :biglaugh:

I don't remember your name, but if its who I think it is I only attended one of those dinners and it was crap and full of offensive morons ... Lisa & I left before ordering dinner.

Whoever you are, why register under a new name with a brand new icq number if you've been around for 5 years?!

:unsure:

tell us who you are ... unless you have something to hide?

Yawwwnnn.

Hmmmm.

1. I did apologize to both yourself and Lisa from PMB at the time for the offensive behaviour of other attendees.. that sort of behaviour was reprehensible and also the biggest reason that was the LAST time I organized anything - TOO many wankers in this biz..

2. Also, if you look at my post, the "idiots" line was directed firmly at those other posts with reference to the Australian Porn Mafia (APM) - NOT at you and others. Apologies if that came across wrong in the post.

3. For a couple of years I had nothing to say, now, with a new program and a new focus I do, hence why I am here and elsewhere.

4. The ICQ is hardly brand new.. been using that for over 18 months now.

5. I don't have to explain myself to anyone, except my friends, partners and affiliates. Besides, it's fun to have a play around.

Don't take it all so seriously, you are way to good an operator for that.


:bjump:

cj, c'mon, give hima break, he sounds intellegent and this is rarety nowadays
;_)))

Serge,

Not to mention Australians give your wallet a hardon akin to a babies arm w/ apple at the tip...

WOW.

Now THAT I take as a compliment.

Good on ya mate :wnw:

Serge, so intelligent he and his friends tried to poach my programmer in a nightclub by slagging me off to him?! obviously intelligent enough to recognize talent, but not intelligent enough to be discreet.

you'll forgive me if I take a little longer than you to warm :rolleyes:

Sometimes I wonder if CJ isnt my twin.

I'm not sure yet about Florida...it's so close to the due date of the new baby, but will have to see how that goes, otherwise will be January for sure.

Wedding DVD's ?? :wnw:

Consider this your "Official" Invitation for January!

Never know, may even get you to do the DVD of the wedding nite !! :ph34r:

I will definitely be in Florida, and as much as I look forward to ctaching up with you, baby has to come first!! Hope mother and child are doing well at this point :okthumb:

So keep me posted and you never know - we could be wetting your bub's head in AUgust and you WILL be filming my wedding in January !!

Yeh-Hah !!! :matey:

Sometimes I wonder if CJ isnt my twin.[/b][/quote]
WTF ???

Methinks you are still confused Carla......

That surely wasn't me.

Shit, I don't even know who your programmer is because I don't hang in those circles anymore and haven't for a LONG time (that is guessing that I allegedly met whoever the programmer is in THOSE circles).

So sorry, WRONG guy.

AND NO, I did not rise from the ashes of any of the bigger players (current and/or past) in this small town, I busted my nut and built to where I am from the bottom. I do work together with some guys on joint projects, but my profile remains lower than the radar.

And just a point, I work with people, not against them, so if I HAD of wanted your programmer for something, I would have had the courtesy and good grace to simply ask you.

And another point - if I am going to "slag someone off" I WILL do it to their face, I do not backstab, if needs be, I frontstab - anyone who knows me knows that.

I am a businessman who makes and sells sex, and screwing people over is NOT good business.

And I KNOW, you are cut from a similar cloth.

If you will be in Florida, I will seek you out and buy you a nice bottle of red for us to share.

Then the confusion will cease, and the bottle is the LEAST I can do after that webmasters dinner debacle of a couple of years back.

:ph34r:

Lindsay, I'm taking a yoga break - channel 27 :okthumb:

are you SURE i'm confused?! :yowsa:

:wnw:

Knew you'd get it eventually :agrin:

But seriously for a second... what's this about your programmer? I don't operate that way and would like to clear it up with you.

Hit me up on ICQ when you get a sec if it ain't too much trouble.

Might have to divvy up another bottle of red this end as well !!

:)

fool me once, shame on you ... fool me twice ................ shame on you for trying :P

this thread has given you enough free advertising - if you'd like to buy an advertising spot on any of our range of oprano properties, please contact gonzo for further details. :okthumb:

He he, point taken, I suppose I owe you that much !!

2 bottles of red...

Advertising deal with Oprano...

Damn expensive post :rolleyes:

Do hit me up on that other matter though, I want to clear that up, because I will ALWAYS cop sweet any shit I deserve, but I HATE false accusations and bullshit like that.

I'm sure it is a storm in a teacup, but I would like the opportunity to kneecap whoever spreads shit - unfortunately, MANY people like to stick it in behind my back, but SFA people have the cajones to do it to my face.

:salute:

Gonzo dude.. hit me up and get ready for me to try and screw you on price. :stout:

>Damn expensive post

yes, on the the other boards, you pay with posts, here you pay with money :agrin:

the same handful of people post lots, the board looks busy, advertisers buy more ads which are effectively useless because everyone posting for free has bigger sigs than most paid banners ... much easier when X service = X dollars, dontcha think?!

you are the one who said post count didn't mean shit ... :rolleyes:

If you'd like to flash with me, you can share my spot above for $3k a month & i'll throw in a couple of radio ads :okthumb: and as long as you don't run self installing toolbars, we'll be mostly nice :agrin:

I was being sort of sarcastic... badly :blink:

Let me work on removing those self-installing toolbars and other assorted embedded spyware and get back to you.

:yowsa:

Seriously, we are looking at a major affiliate competition and are seriously looking at strong advertising backing for that - so I'm sure we will be in on some level.

:okthumb:

Obvliously you dont know very well. I lube em up and he screws em. Hit me on ICQ and lets see what you need.

Okie dokie.

At least warm up the lube then :moon:

This "homophobe" doesn't like it cold.

:yowsa: :lol: :nyanya:

Damn, I am still laughing over CJ thinking I am homophobic !!
:biglaugh: :biglaugh:

Mark, OZ's as a group is one of the MOST honorable and interesting people I ever met on the net. I'd do business with OZ with my eyes closed.

cj, sorry, I didn't know about the bad blood between you. Stick a needle in his eye at will,
I do NOT condone UNSUCESSFUL thieves
;-)))

Damn how I love how myths and legends perpetuate ...

First I'm a nobody.

Then I'm Tim.

Then I'm EvilDan.

Next I am thief.

Next I'm a homophobe.

Next I'm an unsuccessful thief.

And this is just one thread !!!!

All this from people who actually know squat about me except what they have heard from others.... and yet, here I still am.

If you listen very closely you will hear my fragile male ego shattering on the ground.

I wait with baited breath for the next chapter of the Curious Toy Boy saga.

:redance:

grogan, you do have competition

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Love your work Serge!
