I bought content of this girl years ago
Only thing limiting xpeeps is keeping up with the ever growing server demand.

Admit it Vick youd give both your nuts for a site like that. I know Lens would and so would I!

Maybe the boys will stop by and tell us a bit more about Xpeeps, and Vick can give 'em The Shemp welcome...

Maybe he should have had a little thicker skin
or did you all want to grovel up to him for a little shit traffic and call it networking or learning or whatever


and there is a huge difference between what Xpeeps does and Shemps business model

No, no I wont.

I keep hearing about Shemp's thin skin... But here's the thing....I've met Shemp in person a handful of times, and even though he and I do not do any business together he has always been one of the kindest most gracious guys I've ever met in the industry. He'll answer questions candidly.

Hell, he came to Atlanta to visit one of his employees here and 50-75 people from all around came to meet the man. And he bought the whole crowd dinner. We're not talking Fat Burger here either, we're talking nice steakhouse.

So GonZo is after the guy for about a year to come hang out with us on Oprano. Oprano is a business board he explains. Lots of mature business type folks that Shemp should fit in very well with, and heck it would be very nice to have someone over here who made it big in the TGP era who started late. The guy is a success story a lot people could learn from and is a pretty good role model for doing business in a classy way.

So what happens? He hits the board and it was like chum in a shark tank. Was he welcomed? No, he was pounced in a manner normally reserved for drive-by spammers offering new billing solutions. I would call it attacked.

It felt like you Vick in particular wanted to take out several years worth of venom toward the whole TGP movement on him. Do we all wish there wasn't thousands of new pics and movies going up on TGPs every day, and we could milk the surfers like we did in 98? Sure.

But damn, a genuinely good guy who could've contributed some perspectives that are totally foreign to most of the regulars at the time was basically lynched as soon as he hit town.

Thin skinned? Ok, let's stick with the bar analogy, you invite someone over to your new bar and all the regulars tear him a new asshole because they dont like the shirt he's wearing the minute he walks in the door. Would you come back?

And yeah, it sticks in my craw cuz I consider a low moment in Oprano history. I was embarassed to be considered part of the "community" that day.

After reading some of the archieves Ive come to the conclusion that you dont have to even be the new guy in town.

The way Sarettah was relentlessly drawn and quartered by his own ranks up there as well.

As an aside... Shemp to this day blames me for the treatment he got here.

As he well should.
