You go girl. I just don't know what to say. It has elevated board threats to a new and ethereal level. Gonzo, will you witness the event?

Hahaha I thought about asking them if I could paypal them a $20 last week so they could afford another round of beers.

But then I thought maybe they were in a rush and were excited to post their pictures on Oprano?

Beats me. Id be working hard to shore up my webcam site.

Hey all -

Nah, its ok - I'm done pissing. In fact I guess you could say I'm all pissed out for the night.

That was fun!

One cool thing was this:



That is too amazing... !

I'm curious to see Gonzo when you will raise your advertising rates. When you do, maybe you'll buy me a beer?

Just a thought...

And yes, Hellpuppy, we get it. Ketchup head. I hope you realize that this joke is now 3 years old. Although I was not the biggest fan of the incident, it did get him on the cover of JFK's calender.

So just keep slinging that clever one liner of yours. Greg's a brillant hard working guy and consider myself fucking lucky to have him working here, and even luckier to call him a friend.

Cheers!

Mark Prince

This is what happens when drama is posted, especially about someone that never posts here.
Too bad the extra traffic has nothing to do with extra revenue...

I doubt very many businesses want to pay for advertising on a site that encourages posting of your private information.

Soon it will go back to keyboard warriors and newbie's that know everything.

No!

I agree with D. We are really careful with our advertising and would not want to buy banners on sites like this (sorry Gonzo). Its one thing to have lots of eyeballs on your banner for brand recognition, but its hard or even impossible to quantify that. Must better to have targeted advertising than anything else I think.

Cheers!

Careful to advertise on fine credible places to truth like GFY?

I will defer to your judgment on that for your particular product. But continuing this thread kind of puts you on this board, front and centre. For free. And Oprano gets indexed very quickly. You will notice I don't advertise here, but that is only because I don't play in mainstream like you guys. I worked on Bay Street....Mark will understand...for many years and the eyeballs and impressions and all of that are important. However, I do things a little differently, so it is not important. However, community is. Take that however you like. It is hard or even impossible to quantify that. And I do know you do a good business.

Hi Gonzo,

Thanks for the beer offer - I accept! But I'll let you buy me one at the next show instead. And just to show you that there's no hard feelings back, I'll buy you one too. Deal?

As for advertising, we purchase full page ads each month in Klixxx Magazine in 2005 and 2006. We stopped a few months into 2007, and have resumed 2008.

You can also watch for our full page ads in XBiz which should be starting in the very next issue.

And no, we don't advertise on GFY. We tried it in 2006 and it didn't work for us, so when I said that we don't really want to buy ads on a site "like this", I meant forums that seem to contain more "drama" than industry or technical information. As you have said in the past Gonzo this kind of thing works for you and more power to you. For us though, it just wouldn't work.

Take care,

Mark Prince
