We were having to install it on his servers because the guy he got to do it didn't know PHP or mysql. I said I didn't want my tech on it all day as he has other things to do and Bishop said he would have another programmer contact us Monday and get it finished. Nobody contacted us so I just assumed he couldn't get it done and redirected it to fbucks, and got an angry email from him today scotching the deal (2 year lease) which I'm really not too worried about. It's a shame to just waste all that webmaster traffic but I am absolutely determined to get out from under Setgo and if that means just killing it then that's what I'll do. Given the traffic the site was generating it could have been a valuable asset for anyone with the time to run it and why nobody seemed too interested I don't know. Whatever someone might think about you or me you still don't argue with traffic. Why Bishop felt the need to post about it I don't know but do I really need to be in a business relationship with someone that temperamental? I got over getting angry about dead deals in this biz years ago, too much stress.

I just contracted for 30 new websites for Fetishbucks and that's all I'm really interested in working on right now.

btw, did you notice how absolutely EVERYONE on GFY was kissing Lensman's ass about hiring you? When you were working for me you were the worst thing that ever happened to porn, now that you work for Lensman you're a star again My hat's off to him and I hope things work out well for you at Adultbeat.

Ok...well, dig has you post that for him instead and coming and posting directly..hmmmm...

First of all, I don't see anything wrong with what Bishop posted.. He said he had a deal and the deal is now dead....

He didn't go into detail... But Dig, now you have, so I hope you expect Bishop to come back at ya here....

I was interested, but not at the price that you guys originally told me about... and yes, you did come back at me and say, "well, make an offer"... I almost did, but... I first ran by a couple of oldtimers, neither of which thought it was worth the money that was being asked... between the two people I sought advise from, I came up with the idea that it was worth between somewhere less than a dime and 5 grand...

Since I had no idea of what you were being offered , I decided to take a wait and see approach, next thing I know you are announcing that it's sold...

and then I hear it's a lease deal, not a sale.....

Even then, with the sale falling through today, I might have made an offer, but then I find out that Luke is gone... and really, Luke is the only real draw at setgo... Nobody working the board... Nothing to make it interesting, except for Luke.... So, at this point, there is no longer any interest....

as far as everyone gaga over luke....I don't know why webmasters would think luke was a good idea... I certainly do not think Luke is a good front man for a webmaster resource site... If I had gone after it, it would have been to turn it into a surfer site.... market dvds, pornstar sites, posters, toys, all sorts of porn industry related consumer goods.... I am quite positive that Luke has a much stronger appeal among the "porn fans" then among adult webmasters.... I don't have a clue why Lens would go and put him in front of what looks like it is going to be an addition to the webmaster resources...

But you guys are the ones making the money... I'm just a lowly computer programmer... what do I know...

anyway, sorry to see it die Hope your next deal goes better....
