Amp quitting the biz

[BillPMB]

I guess Amp/Al4a has had enough of the biz and announced his departure in a not so quiet manner yesterday on the zoo. The thread got deleted (he really let Lensman have it in his diatribe) but it was a great read nonetheless.

Amps a good guy, he'll be missed.

[Peaches]

See what I get for going to bed early??!! It's my understanding that Joe is the one who helped him out when he needed it. Odd he'd attack him. From what I've read it's his wife who brings in the big $$$ anyway due to real estate in HI. Maybe he wants to be a househusband :)

[Newton]

I always liked Amp, never had the opportunity to do any business with him unfortunately, but I wish him the very best :)

The thread was deleted but it was seen :)

biting helping hand is the sport in this industry

Who is amp? Is that short for something?

Joe always struck me as a very loyal person, who took care of his team very well.


It probably proves the adage, "No good deed goes unpunished"

Ampland / Al4A owner Mike.

I wonder how many newer folks in the biz know what the AI part of MikeAI stand for? ;)

[TheEnforcer]

I used to always get some great traffic from AL4A and Ampland. met some of the team way back at the New orleans show. Good people.

I knew it was different than AL4A but wasn't sure about Ampland. I never paid any attention to TGPs until the night of Shemp's party, lol!

Hmm..

[Nickatilynx]

Just checking in on my trans contenental trek..

Loving it :)

will be back in pocket at the weekend :)

Meanwhile this is the post they deleted on GFY , I dunno why.....

And it is from amputateyourhead , the designer , not Amp.

******************************************

Amp = Leaving this stupid industry.
That's right. I'm out. And I got a few things to say before I go.
AaronM: You are my friend. Period. You and I have never done 'business'
together, and so, the industries we're in makes no difference. You are always
welcome in my home.
JasonB: You are one of my closest friends. Again, the industry doesn't matter in
this case. You and the missus are always welcome here.
JSA Media (Jason & Alex): You are hands down the best people I ever worked
with in this business. I really don't know what else I can say. I consider you
friends as well as the finest group of people I've done business with. JSA rocks.
12clicks: Your advice over the years has inspired me to be what I've become. I
look up to you. Your words have rung true to the last.
Jan (undermyspell): You know the deal. You are my friend, and will be for the
rest of our lives.
Lensman: You are a weasel. You are a controlling piece of shit, living on a silver
spoon handed down to you. You treat others as though they are beneath you,
ONLINE.... but in person, you cower like a beaten bitch. You are not a man. You
are a trust fund kid that's pushing 50. Your life is shit, and you do everything
you can to conceal that fact. Putting some of your homes in your illigetimate
son's name doesn't really work you know.
And you're a fucking cock to work for. Get some help already for your ADD. Oh,
I know you like to THINK you paid me the most I've ever been paid.... but
here's something for you to sleep on tonight: I left your retarded ass for Jason
& Alex because they OFFERED ME MORE. Not to mention they are way more
grounded people than your fucked up ass.
AlienQ: You are a moron. Plain & simple. Stop trying to be someting you're not
and find your groove already. Dipshit.
Designers:
Webinc: YTou have my utmost respect Todd. You always have. Keep up the
good work.
Sharky: Same goes for you.
DX: You da fuggin' man bro. You always will be.
MikeW: You were my inspiration. Nice work.
Stevecore: You're my friend bro. Would love to know what happened to you.
(note: AlienQ was not included in the "designers" section here, because he is a
fraud.)
Juicylinks: Grow up dipshit. Your shit is weak and tired. Get over yourself

already.
Penrod: I love you man.
CD Smith: No hard feelings bro. I always liked you.
Silvertab: You're a great programmer. Anyone that hires you is lucky to have
you.
Eric aka Redeyes: Your head is so fucking far up Joe's ass you got shit dripping
off your shoulders. BTW, does joe know about your adventures with Duane with
Sinfulbucks? You might have to actually suck his cock to get him to forget about
that. Grow the fuck up dipshit. No one really gives a fuck about you you know.
KimmyKim: Get over yourself. You ain't all that..... bitch.
localG: I envy you bro..... you fuggin' rock.
if you weren't mentioned specifically, then I either have nothing good nor bad to
say about you, or I just don't give a shit about you.
I've found something that I enjoy doing that gives me a feeling of
accomplishment at the end of the day, and doesn't involve computers or porn. I
never liked this shit to begin with. I've always hated porn. I won't miss it in the
least. And for those that think I couldn't "make it".....
I live in a fucking mansion on Maui. I "made it" and then some. Worry about
your damn selves.
Anyone that has business with me, you know how to reach me.
Enjoy your porn..... now fuck off and die.
now you can go ahead and ban this nick and lock this thread Joe..... because
we all know you're a fucking pussy. You banned all of JSA because you're a
pussy. You're incapable of dealing with me one on one so you banned all of
them for no fucking reason. You are beneath me Joe Lackey.

Think NatNet grabbed up Strictly. But I could be wrong.

Al also had that content site that later became a plugin at Brad's feeds.

One thing is for sure, three companies made and sold by Al and each at a nice profit -- and the first two early on. I have to credit him with being the most successful webmaster in his ability to have done that.
