I also personally went and looked and tore apart for public inspection some of Shemps business model

Shemps explanation was he felt he didn't have to explain the right for TGP's to exist as he had already done that


What few know if I offered to try to speak to Shemp and apologize to have him come back (only becasue Gonzo had put effort into getting him here and thought that was a good thing, obviously I was of a different opinion and the other "owner" at the time agreed with me that Shemp was thin skinned about the whole issue)

and what you and I call productive (or fine) traffic might be 2 very different things

If you want to say it go ahead, no need for innuendo

Do you call 30K a month commission unproductive traffic?
I dont.
Ive never made 30K in my LIFE in one month off of all my sites combined.

Have you? Im really trying to put this in perspective Vick. Cuz I sure as fuck dont understand where your coming from. And no Im not talking about Shemp.

Ah the sound of a blow hard who brags all the time about all the cash he makes but wants to keep everything all secret. Why dont you tell us all again how you are at carnivale but posting like mad on webmaster boards.

Better yet why dont you tell us how well your affiliate program is doing?

Maybe Serge wont pick on baby pee pee Graham and run him off so fast this time.

Proggy does well. Thanks for asking. Carnaval is over and I am back on the west coast. FYI, Gonzo, in case you didn't know, they have internet in Brasil and Argentina now. Hell they even have cell phones. Just thought I would keep you au current with modern technology.
As for pee pee stuff, well, that is part of the reason this thread exists....because of those kinds of posts. I don't run away. I just don't want to be part of that childish shit.
I was just surprised at your admission, that is all. I thought you were one of the ones that actually did well on the net.
Good luck and I hope you can pull the board up by its bootstraps. It does have a lot of potential and at least the traffic is now real.

Naw man... Ive never said I was an internet player. I made a considerable amount of money in the IT field during the dotcom ramp up.
I had 2 hobbies during that time. Forensic data recovery which starts at $300 an hour and then the adult web on the side. The BBS ended up morphing into a 5 letter domain name.

For me IT was a lot more profitable. Biggest mistake I ever made was having a hard time accepting people would pay for what several of us were extracting for shits and grins out of the newsgroups.

Homegrown BBS and Wild Rose Net were the big shits of the day making money on dialup and translating it to the web. As far as I know they have both kept on keeping on.

Personally I only do this for money. For shits and giggles, I travel. If you stay focussed on the profit, fun happens. This is a great business and is very profitable. I have been doing it longer than most here and have been through the web board mill as you know. I have to say, the topic of this thread is right on the money. Business happens between friends. The less you pitch it, the more actually happens. If I have to hear Joe Shoe pitch it one more time, you can gag me with a spoon. This place just aint a lot of fun anymore and you cant force folks to have fun. And btw, just to let you know and trust me there is no rancour intended, just passing it on to you, this board is down an awful lot and many times loads really slowly. I have no idea why and I only say this with the best of intentions so you can look into it.

really? I actually haven't had any trouble since they switched it all over to NatNet, in fact the load times have been around twice as fast for me

hey Gonzo, maybe you all should install some sort of monitors on the server just to make sure

Slav... I know you are the man when it comes to selling and buying domain names. How do you determine the worth of a domain?
