Mike there is no drama if people were upfront on their abilities and conducted themselves as professionals....
There were a few times where I couldn't deliver what I said I could for whatever reason and I simply returned the money....I returned it because that is the right thing to do. I don't hide or make excuses. I or anyone else would expect the same decency.
So to answer your question, drama can be avoided 100% of the time if people would do what is right.

I hate bringing stuff to the boards but when phone call after phone call and email after email as well as all other methods of contacts go unanswered, I'm left with no choice and I knew he posted here so here I am.
You know Mike, we have been in this business for 7 years and have a very clean record. I just don't understand the business practices of some. My theory is you can screw people over and over and get away with it but eventually it will catch up to you.
I don't know about you, but I like going to bed at night knowing I don't have to sleep with one eye open. I would prefer to say that my successes are because of hard work and dedication as well as solid business practices.

I'm in and have been in two to three similar situations as well Mike, and for quite some time now too. I believe one of them we might even share. Makes me wonder what else (who else) we might have in common.
... Meanwhile, I continue likewise to bite my toungue. But not for too fucking much longer. I'm already biting hard enough that I'm tasting blood. If I bite any harder my tounge will come off. If that happens then I will make certain other people's body parts will be severed off of them -- that I can 1000% assure them!!
Oh, quick editted addenum. This has nothing to do with the thread topic of Nick and/or Ant. Just for da record.

Justice, Karma or whatever you want to call it, can definitely be a bitch.
It is just a matter of time and I have plenty of it.

If you remember Netpond, you will remember I sparred with Nick more then most people there.
I think Nick liked the impression! haha

I know this is going to be unpopular but hey....whats new right?
I have never done any business with Jon/Nick but I consider him to be a good friend.
I got no dog in this fight either.
The only thing I can add is that you wont get anything out of him on a message board. And making light of a death in someone's family [his father] isn't exactly going to resolve anything either.
I can only assume you guys posted several threads for a reaction.
So theres mine.
Hope you work it out.

Jason, not much to say except that Nick is ...... Nick! (allegedly the net's biggest crook!)
Hope you guys get this sorted out - you know myself (and it seems most others around here) are aware that both yourself and alex are a pleasure to work with & absolute professionals.

But, you guys are going about this the wrong way...
To get Nick's attention, you gotta mention money !!!
As in cash, mulla, bread, bucks, ca-ching ca-ching
what do you mean?
I am not John Gotti, I can't protect Nick from you. Nick owed Oprano some money in the past, but he ALWAYS came thru,
like everybody else in this biz, he falls on bad times, but....I don't know anybody whom he "took money and run"
Bust his balls as you please, there is a very good chance he makes up to you, if history is something to learn from
We wouldn't have a problem if he had called us and said hey guys, I'm having a tough time getting you the money that is rightfully owed to you and I'll need a couple of weeks. I'll keep you posted.
Instead Nick and Anthony ignore our phone calls or any other method of contact we have for them. We interpret that as buzz off, we have no intentions of paying.
A few people have owed us money in the past and they came across hard times as well but the difference is they stayed in contact with us and kept us informed. The final result is we were paid over time. To this day I would do business with them again.

Come on Serge! We all know....."If you owe Serge, you pay Serge" Otherwise you are not going to have a future in internet. Jon does not know us from dick, but he will.

Big assed post to follow
Nick you know and I know we have been calling your office as well as Anthony's cell.....We have asked politely to give us a call and let us know the situation but you both don't return calls or replies on ICQ....
WTF do you want us to think?
You have been ducking us and you dam well know it.
You have the time to post here but what, no time to give a call and let us know what your plans are?
Give me a break. We aren't a couple of chumps that just got in this buisness last night.
Our reputation speaks for itself.

You wanna threaten me?
Good. Bring it.I await your law suit.
Quit dancing around the issue Nick. Personal problems?. Everyone has personal problems. I for one just came back from a funeral. I'm not about to spill my personal problems with buisness issues or use it as an excuse.
Like I said, if you have time to post on boards then you definitely have time to call us. Both You and Anthony have been posting here.
A simple phone call with an explanation is all we were asking for.
As for threats, lets not add words and make a mountain out of a mole hill.
Quit being so melo dramatic.
Could one of the admins merge these 3 threads? This is silly.
(There's at least 3 hovering near the top of the board, might be more further down that I haven't bothered to scroll to.)

So to say "Both You and Anthony have been posting here." while not a straight out lie is at least misleading because it ignores the fact that Ant has not been posting for the past week.
Nick has been posting a little bit here and there, but nothing near to his norm, so to accuse him of having all this time to post while ignoring you seems at least a little way out there. http://www.oprano.com/msgboard/index.php?s...sort_order=desc
I do not know what the gripe is here, but I assume it is something that has come up in the past week or so. If that is correct, then you guys brought this to the boards awful fucking quick.
Fact of the matter is that in this industry, most of the operations are quite small and are usually dependent on 2 or 3 key people. If you tamke one of those people out of the mix (in this case Ant) then the other people have to get up to snuff on what he was supposed to be doing. Since most deals are made via email, icq or phone, there is not always a great amount of documentation outside of the person's pda and icq logs for someone else to follow up on. Therefore, it is often the case that when something like this is happening it is best to wait for the person that made the deal to be actively involved before trying to figure out what is going on.
While Nick is a self professed scammer, I would trust him and Ant with my money ocver most of the supposed "professional" companies out there any day of the fucking week.

Ok Sarettah,
You do business with them then, that is your choice. I don't care about personal problems. Like I said we all have them as I just had to deal with a funeral for the last week.
They might not have been posting as much but they are sure are lurking here. I don't give a crap whether they haven't posted in a year, the point is, a little decency was in order and a call to keep us informed would have been great.
Jason and I have been partners for 7 years and I promise you, we are both aware of what each other does. He is my right hand man as I am to him. It is called communication. If one of us had a emergency, the other picks up the slack. It is a simple concept.
Bishop, you think I would be here for $300.00? Trust me it is quite a bit more. For $300.00, I wouldn't waste my time here for chump change.
Nick it is quite simple for you, pay what you owe and we each move on our seperate ways. Why is this so hard for you to understand?
