welcome on board, Robin!
AWESOME :rokk:
that is the best news i've heard all year :okthumb:

[Mutt]

Robin was definitely an innovator. Things have changed alot since he was in porn but I don't think it will take him long to assess the damage and figure out some new innovations.

congrats :okthumb:

[slavdogg]

btw, what happend to mutt ??
i've always enjoyed reading his posts

[slavdogg]

oh there he is :)

mutt got too much exposure on Oprano and now runs VERY sucessful content/design business,
no time for us
;-(((

we are BEGGING him to run Football thingy for 'ole times sake,
maybe he'll do it if we BEG him long enough!
;-)))

we miss him tremendously!

[Robin Nixon]

Thankyou Serge for giving me this excellent opportunity to return to the Internet in style :)

Many of you will not know who I am - so I'll do my best to introduce myself to you over the next few days and weeks. For others I'm sure my name is a blast from the past you didn't expect to see ;)

I'm sure we'll be discussing all sorts of things but to field the first questions I am anticipating... For the last 3 years I've been running public houses and hotels in England with Julie. It's been fun but with 2 pubs and a hotel we never got much chance to see the kids - let alone sleep!

So - we started selling up at the start of the year and by amazing coincidence - just when I was looking at what options I had for returning to the Internet I was given the opportunity to apply for this postion with Oprano - thanks guys for choosing me!

So - what's in store? Well, I have a few ideas that have been germinating these last few years - I hope you like them when they're ready - but really it's up to you - do you have any ideas, wishes or suggestions for what I can do to help continue to improve Oprano.

It's going to be a pretty big task to try and fill Mutt's shoes here - but I'll do my best.

Cheers everyone!

- Robin.

Holy shit!
Talk about a blast from the past...last time I saw you Robin was during the David Lee Roth show at Internext a couple years ago...

Oddly enough, I just got a spam the other day for the tld type site similar to what you did with TLDNS...my first "big" design job, heheheeh

My favorite of the Nixon inventions was the hit casino where you could gamble your hits....ah, back in the days when I actually had some traffic ;)))

[*KK*]

TLDNS... now there's a blast from the past.

Welcome back Robin, put your thinking cap on ;)

This is indeed a banner day for Oprano....

He is a pioneer, a Founding Father!!!

Welcome on board Robin!!

[DragonKing]

[cj]

Eureka Eureka!!
Oprano has struck gold!!
:yowsa:

Robin, we've never met but i've heard a lot about your adventures in the years before I entered the industry. I'm looking forward to seeing what you have planned for us & to working with you in the future. Anything I can do to help with material for oprano plus, don't hesitate to ask.

[Robert]

:wnw: I think the first check I ever made off the net was from SexTab. It was for less than a buck B)

Guys -

do a little research on the history of the adult net.. You will find Robins name in just about every imortant innovation up until 1998-99,..

abc web
eureka
sexplosion
hit casino
and many more i am missing...

Robin.. You will be the person to bring a lot of the "old guys" back to posting on boards... It was always a pleasure chatting with you.. You are a true gentleman, and I appreciate everything you have done for me and taught me in the past.
Our long conversations about sexplosion taught me a ton about UNIX and DNS:-)

[Anthony]

Robin! Awesome news!!!

[Timon]

What's up Robin, got any new ideas I can rip off? ;-)

[sextoyking]

Robin,

Congrats on the new position with Oprano. Great to see you around :)

fucking.cocksucker was going to be my site where people could trash everyone they hated :(

and of course I sucked up all those.sykkboy domains ;)

[Winetalk.com]

I'll trade you all your TLDNS domains for my 25,000 shares of the TLDNS!

any takers?

;-))))

[ulfie]

hahahaha, I remember getting up at like 3 o'clock in the morning and registering around 500 of those domains.

[*KK*]

Hey yeah, do you still have the list Robin, I had a couple thousand of them ;)

[Dravyk]

It's fantastic having you back, Robin!! :yowsa:

[Bestat]

WOW! Congrats to Oprano and Robin!

I still have my list of TLDNS from that night too :P

Will be good to have you back!

B)

[Menace]

Good news, welcome back Robin!

Due to my less than stellar maintenance skills, I probably still have pages out there with your old codes on 'em :zoinks:

great score Oprano :)

[dantheman]

welcome aboard Robin :rokk: you were missed, Glad your back and with a topnotch crew. Oprano is making it's move :cdance:

[Mojo]

Excellent.

One of the TOP minds on the net....

Best of luck Robin!

[MikeFold]

Welcome Back Robin.....

Few more gray hairs, but I'm still kicking too....
:yowsa:

[$tanDaMan]

Welcome Robin! Glad to see you on this excellent team!

[gigi]

Congrats and welcome Robin! I look forward to see what you guys have up your sleeves now!!

Boy, running public houses (is that like a bed and breakfast?) and hotels and pubs must have been an experience!

But considering so many people know and love you here, my guess is you are happy to be back!

I look forward to getting to know you!

Tara :)

[Sharpie]

Mike said it best:

"This is indeed a banner day for Oprano.... (has to be a 3 banner day :D )

I cannot think of anyone in this history of this industry that has as much experience with developing innovative ideas then Robin Nixon!

He is a pioneer, a Founding Father!!!

Welcome on board Robin!!"

:cdance: How many days is it going to take to get that big ass grin off Mikes and Serges faces? They must be in Internet Heaven! Right guys? Probably the biggest news of the year so far!!!!!!!!

[Robin Nixon]

Wow - thanks for all the kind words from everyone - it feels really good to be back - a big hello to you all!

My official start will be on Monday June 16th but I'm getting into the swing straight away to try to get fully up to speed.

Some people have asked why am I working with Oprano now? The simple answer is this is one of the top meeting places for the business and also my business relationship with Serge goes back to the mid 90s when I first got on the Internet, and having no content of my own I hotlinked all of Serge's pics I could find. He then emailed me threatening to replace all the pics with death threats to the queen and supporting the IRA. So yeah, we got off to a great start ;) And I learned to go out and get my own content :)

Anyway, I've worked in different ways with many of you here and can honestly say it's a damn site more fun than the Pub and Hotel games (although I did quite well in them - it was just pretty knackering)! So I am really looking forward to what we can do in the future on the web.

Of course, I have a few ideas which I think are original and may stir things up a little ;) But I'd also like to hear from anyone here who has ideas for improvements that could be made to Oprano. Or new programs that Oprano could offer to benefit it's participants. Or do you have a good idea you are sure will work but don't have the resources to get it off the ground yourself? Maybe we can help.

So please get in touch and everything you say will be carefully considered (good, bad or indifferent ;)

Cheers!

- Robin.

Robin,
and the funny thing is...
I would have made good on my threat

You and Serge IMHO are 2 of the 5 smartest people in this game.

Oprano could set the world on fire :)

Nick,
every day I feel like it was more luck than smarts for me...

funny thing how self evaluations change with age
;-)))

all I can add that nowadays I have a dick but...I don't remember what to do with it
;-))))

[Nickatilynx]

I still lack both dick and balls.
It seems I not only have the morals,but the sex organs I can afford ;-))

And I agree,luck plays a major factor.

I'm trying to be lucky for a 4th time ;-))))

What a surprise! Good to see you back, Robin. Makes an old sexshare webmaster proud!
:yowsa:

[LeeNoga]

Welcome back Robin Nixon surely you remember me!

We credit you with as the popup innovator and I also remember your domain thing when folks could use you as a registrar to use URL's they could not get the .com of....forget all the details....and then you made enough money and wanted to set up a home with lots of needy children.

[MrYellow]

Good news!

Nice to see you again Robin. Can't wait to see what your plans are. :-)
