Oprano Ownership

[Bishop]

Looking back at the last year or so things have changed a lot around Oprano. It looks like that trend will continue..

Joe has a bunch of really exciting projects going and those are going to require all his attention. He has agreed to my taking on his stake in Oprano. This is very exciting news for Joe and for me!

Good luck on your new projects Joe! I know we will continue to work together on things.. I have no doubts!

[Mike AI]

HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!

HAhahahahahahaahaha

Congrats, to you Bishop :)

[Bishop]

Thanks.. It is good to get a warm welcome. :-)

[selena]

~looks~

Is there a revolving door on this place that no one told me about?

Congrats, I think.

Ownership could mean that you are about to be hurled into a black hole in space, never to be heard from again. ;)

[JoesHO]

Good stuff Guys. I look forward to all the future endeavors.

We could start up a pool, actually, place bets on when the ownership shall change again!

[Peaches]

I'm so confused :(

[Jace]

Is there a revolving door on this place that no one told me about?

Someone needs to start a site that just has the Oprano timeline on it...LOL

Congrats to the winners!

[gonzo]

Get out the concrete boots!

[Aly]

Good heavens...

Nice to hear that, Bishop.. Much respect! :okthumb:

[TheEnforcer]

Congrats Bishop. Looking forward to working with you. :okthumb:

[Bishop]

Good heavens...

Nice to hear that, Bishop.. Much respect! :okthumb:

Thanks Aly! I still think your the hottest woman in the adult industry.

[Bishop]

I'm so confused :(

Just think really big Pug Peaches.

[Aly]

Oh thats not fair.. Aly has the accent.. I can't help myself! haha.. You still have the good puppies!

[Raven]

Sure you will...and you'll talk to me, too!

Congrats, Bishop...and Oprano!!

[Kacy]

[Anthony]

Hey Joe,

[Anthony]

Not too long ago, the Old Guard was being shit on this board it looks like.

What exactly has Oprano done since the last time I posted on here?

[Anthony]

Btw Bishop,

Don't think just because I'm posting here again, I'm really happy about this shit we talked about on ICQ the other day.

I'll start posting ICQ histories of being asked to teach people "How to Spam".

[Nickatilynx]

Serge you wanna see what happened ?

It seems to me , the old guard were being shat on by some newbies with attiude.You know .......rebels without a clue.

Then they pissed off every single "old timer" here...

Seems they went to other boards...( cough)

and now maybe reason has returned.

[Trev]

in the past few days ..I have spoken to morgan icq , ant phone , dr.guile messenger ,trev phone , newton was staying at my house ,played a round of golf , pushpills icq , dravyk icq ,etc etc etc etc



And as for "less business"?

You are right in a way...I have no affiliate program losing money , no 6 other projects which I'm praying may one day hit and make me money...nope , none of that

You are right , I have no need to run a board.

But I'm still very much in the traffic business. :)

[cj]

Oh thats not fair.. Aly has the accent.. I can't help myself! haha.. You still have the good puppies!

*ahem*

Congrats baby!
Good luck with it!

[Anthony]

When he said Puppies, he was talking about her Pugs, not her breastesses.

Just in case you missed that...

[Trev]

Bugger this I'm going to bed... one of the witches is dead, good for oprano!

[Bishop]

Holy fuck that was a bunch of post in a short period of time! I only walked away for a few minutes. Fuck! haha..

I'm glad to see friendly old faces.. I missed hanging out with you guys.

[Bishop]

*ahem*

hehehe.. thanks CJ! Good to see you again. Hows life?

[cj]

Just in case you missed that...

I was referring to his comment about Aly being the most attractive women in the industry because she has an accent ...

Just in case you missed that!

The retirement home lets me have net access for 30 mins a day.

I'm usually lucid for 2 mins of them and thought "If Cuddly's involved I might as well post"

I'm actually on Spring break at the Hotel that we all went to a few times.

Remember the time Redlion drove you all through the snow to get there?

That one :)

[Anthony]

Nope, I caught that about Aly and her accent, I agree with him.

[redneckroy]

Cozy board y'all have here.

[cj]

Nope, I caught that about Aly and her accent, I agree with him.

I do too!

Did your sense of humour disappear up your ass too?

grow up anthony. its just a board.

[Anthony]

I do too!

grow up anthony. its just a board.

Is that why you left?

[Bishop]

going ok sweetie!

are you still with AEBN? they seem to be going ok huh? LOL

I'm still with AEBN as the Director Of Advertising.

[cj]

yep, I'm learning to grow up.

nice try, but you aren't dragging me into your argument!

Oh my god yeah I remember.. That was a scary drive! Five thousand pounds of steel screaming through ICE and SNOW with Redlion behind the wheel! aaahhh.. Good hotel though.. I remember I won a fair bit of money in the casino. I'll have to go back and visit someday.. I enjoyed Canada. Crystal and I both did..

Your more than welcome to hang out.. this place feels like home for so many of us.. lots of history in this site and the sites that came before it. Someone mentioned the idea earlier of a timeline.. I may look into that.. I might be fun to walk down memory lane.

[cj]

I'm still with AEBN as the Director Of Advertising.

awesome. you guys have done a top job over there.
i've been watching with great interest - you're one of the few companies who are prepared for the future. congrats!

[Anthony]

I tried. :)

[Bishop]

Please don't leave again CJ. This place was always more interesting with your input. Your part of the charm of the place.. we could always use another womans touch.

[Nickatilynx]

its just a board.

Yes it is...just a board......just.... ;-))

When I got it , it was on life support and I couldn't resucitate it and had nothing to sell on it if I did. - ( A board owner defenitely needs to have an affilate program or some other angle to make the side money on , AEBN and Cuddly may well be the mix it needs...time will tell)

Joe and gonzo pretty much pulled the plug on it by inferring that the old guard were no longer welcome , drive by spam was more relevant etc.

I hope with Bishop's and AEBN's input it does well. :)

[JR]

i feel like a group hug is in order.

:hugs:

[Nickatilynx]

Your more than welcome to hang out..

One of the terms when I left was the ability to post unfettered ;-)))

[Bishop]

awesome. you guys have done a top job over there.
i've been watching with great interest - you're one of the few companies who are prepared for the future. congrats!

We have alot of really neat things in the works.. I love AEBN. The core group is made up of a bunch of very bright people. Lots of good ideas float around the table everyday. There are more good ideas than anyone could possibly do. We pick and choose and move ahead. It is a rewarding company to be involved in. Life is never boring.

[cj]

I tried. :)

ya gotta do better than that to get me into a piss these days babe!

living in the present takes enough energy, without rehashing shit that can't be changed.

we all had some fun, learnt some lessons, made some friendships and lost some.

Rather than slamming each other for some page views, I'd rather know that when you guys head down under I can return your hospitality with a great dinner and a trip down memory lane ... without an APM vs VPM shoot out in the street.

I hope life is treating you well Ant. xx

I have not been keeping track of the board so I don't know how things have been lately to be honest. I see this board as it was say two years ago. That is my perspective. The sites greatest asset is the old guard in my opinion. It is to fucking hard to start new these days.. not that it can't be done but I just don't think any site should cater to the inexperienced anymore. Affiliate programs make money from the old guard not from the new up and comers. I want the old guard to call Oprano home.. or at the very least drop by on a regular basis to see what everyone else is up to. I think the companies that advertise on sites like Oprano see the value in the old timers.

I'll be honest.. I don't know what everyone else wants out of this site I just know what I want out of this site. I want a place I can personally go and talk shop with old friends who probably know what they are talking about. I want to hear opinions from people who I think have really earned the right to have an opinion. I don't have a ton of time on my hands to hang out on the boards. I can't even read some of the boards because they move so fast.. I don't want to work my way through a mountain of bullshit to get to something worth reading. I would rather read ten intelligent post a day than a hundred crap post.

[cj]

Please don't leave again CJ. This place was always more interesting with your input. Your part of the charm of the place.. we could always use another womans touch.

I'll always drop by and say Hi whenever I can because I have some great friends here and people I am very fond of, but honestly ... I'm so burnt out on this industry these days that the idea of having to sit at my computer and wait for responses makes me want to chop my hands off. LOL

These days I live at the beach. I live healthy. I spend my days doing basic design work where I can to get by. I work on my magazine. I shoot some content. All stuff I enjoy. I just needed a rest. My priorities have changed a lot!!

But Oprano will always be my board, no matter who owns it :-)

[Bishop]

i feel like a group hug is in order.

:hugs:

haha.. the group hug graphic is new.. haven't seen that one before.

It does, doesn't it... ;)

Good to see you around, CJ. You too Bishop. :okthumb:

:rokk:

For what it is worth , I'm behind you 100% on that. :)

AND In all seriousness... I hope and am sure you WILL achieve your goals , and the Oprano you describe is one where I for one would be delighted to read and post daily ( during the 30mins the home lets me have net access that is)

Congrats me old mate :)

I gotta go .... gotta catch the evening mail.....

Sounds like you are living life well CJ. I know exactly where you are coming from. I recently bought a place up in the mountains that I run away to every chance I get. I'm dealing with the adult world on my terms these days.. getting up in the morning five days a week and driving to a proper office gives me another way of turning the adult world on and off. As opposed to walking from my bedroom to my office and working for days on end. The drive is my on off switch right now. I had burn out a few years ago.. The time I spent back then was well spent but it also took its toll. I pace myself these days. I can't be in all places at all times.. I can only do so much quality work in any given day.

isn't it funny - 5 years ago we were so happy we got to work from home! Now, I look for contracts where I can work out of the clients office and its amazing how much more I enjoy being at home when I am. I hardly spend any time at my computer at home these days - although I do take the laptop to the deck and work with the sound of the ocean breaking. Sounds like you have your inland mountain version and I've got my coast version! Lets swap some time for a month!

Life is for living, not watching ;-)

Yeah I use to love working from home.. I thought of it as freedom. Then I realized that I had not left the house in a year and that I felt like I couldn't even if I wanted to. That wasn't so much fun. I'm pretty good about disconnecting these days. The world doesn't come to an end if I disappear for 24 hours.. or 48 hours. That is a nice change.. I'll take the office over the house these days. I don't see that changing.

I'm sure my wife would be very happy to swap places with you sometime!

[JoesHO]

Hey Joe,

Should I be expecting ICQ's and phone calls about Gonzo and Bishop now, suggesting I leave them?

:)

haha why they are good people, you wont have to pay to bail them out ...like you did your alleged spam operation .

[Dravyk]

Congrats, Bishop! :okthumb: Congrats, Joe! :okthumb:

Now somebody please send me a new scorecard! ... It's easier to keep track of who's alive or running the CTU on "24" then who's in charge here on any given day. :wacko:

[VooMan]

It's easier to keep track of who's alive or running the CTU on "24"


I think we should have a moment of silence for Edgar. :(

[Peaches]

When he said Puppies, he was talking about her Pugs, not her breastesses.

Just in case you missed that...
Seriously????!! Dammit, for a brief moment I thought someone appreciated my breastesses :( :( :(

But I agree with Aly. She's #1 on my "When I do women" list ;)

I'm still a bit confused, but Ant and Nick are back so that makes me very happy!! :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

[Dravyk]

I think we should have a moment of silence for Edgar. :( No one misses Tony, do they? hehe

Looking back at the last year or so things have changed a lot around Oprano. It looks like that trend will continue..

Joe has a bunch of really exciting projects going and those are going to require all his attention. He has agreed to my taking on his stake in Oprano. This is very exciting news for Joe and for me!

Good luck on your new projects Joe! I know we will continue to work together on things.. I have no doubts!

From what I read, apparently your a very popular & respected person here on Oprano. "Congrats"
I don't know you and I'm new, So all I can say and offer is a "Welcome back Bishop." :bwave:

[Anthony]

haha why they are good people, you wont have to pay to bail them out ...like you did your alleged spam operation .

So Inabon isn't a good person?

You have no clue on email marketing, yet you say I have an alleged spam operation?

You have proof, or is this another Newbie with attitude post?

[JoesHO]

So Inabon isn't a good person?

You have no clue on email marketing, yet you say I have an alleged spam operation?

You have proof, or is this another Newbie with attitude post?


yeah inabon is a good person , and HIS business dealings have nothing to do with me anymore or my pocketbook ( nor do mine have anything to do with him ) therefore they are are of no concern to me any longer, and there is no need for me to discuss what he does or does not do in business he is a sharp guy sometimes business plans are different . you shout newbie all you want AHAHAH

you are such a veteran .. and so good and of course anyone doing any business with you knows this :clapping:

I will just go to my newbie corner and have no clue and just slump a long like I have been doing .

but try to have some respect would ya for your friend and at least start a different thread to piss in rather than the one he is getting congratulated in .

BTW how is your program macdaddybucks doing? you are into some kind of billing now right instead of that ? How is the" e-mail marketing" doing for you? is it still as good as it used to be ?

and since you think you are slamming me by saying I called you to warn you that the data center would shut down . I would be glad to tell the story.

You a big customer of our data center ( wich was losing money and was buying BW at almost 200$ a Mbit then reselling it at 40$ ) not a good game plan in my eyes. ( however somehow Pedro has seemed to pull it off and I wish him the best of luck in his future and have a new respect for him for doing so however he did it ) Like I said it makes no difference to me if that was a bail out from your "e-mail marketing plan" or if it was hard work and determination by pedro with a different way to fund operations .The success or failure of that company has nothing to do with me anymore, and I have nothing but good thoughts and wishes for my old friend Pedro. I wish him a hearty congratulations on his ability to pull the data center back to a good and profitable business. ( on a pedro note he knows he or should he always has an open door with us)

I icqed and called " warned" you that the data center was in financial trouble and that I did not see how it would survive I know what a big baby you are and how much you like to run your mouth on a board when you think you got something, So considering Pedro was moving away from adult business, and Boldy and I were moving deeper into the adult business I knew we would be the one around the boards and the industry. I felt that once your servers crashed ( and how they didn't I will never know but as said before, I give a big Kudos and congratulations to Pedro and vielka for pulling that off however they did it as I know how deep in debt it was at the time and what the inner workings at the time and situation was) I assumed I would be the one to take the biggest board bashing over you losing your servers even though I was gone from the company prior to it happening. Since there was a possiblitity of us still doing business in the future and both being in adult, I did not want you to have a catastrophy and lose some as you called them " mission critical" servers for your " e-mail marketing plan" and end that relationship.

in hindsight the whole thing showed me Pedro had some smart moves up his sleeve and was sucessful at pulling the data center out of a crisis , a business decision that I was not prepared to put my focus and energy on at the time . ( his focus was solely on that, and mine was on earl Miller and making that new relationship as successful as it could be ) We were at a crossroads business wise and we made an amicable decison to split. I do not now, or have I ever had any hard feelings for Pedro.

You however took a warning, that was at the time given to you in a business desicon to be just that a warning so that you could not later say that you were not warned, or " how could I not have told you " and tried to start some bullshit with it later on ....

How petty , are you really that shallow Anthony?

You have shown me what a true piece of shit you really are. and I have seen all the proof I will ever need to, to know that.

BTW how well did Oprano do while you were running it and a mod here ?

all we saw was macdaddybucks spam all the time and a bunch of PAID posters saying the same old thing.

I will not entertain some worthless piss with you as I am far too busy on real projects to fuck with a jack ass wanna be thug like you that is all talk and watches to many mob movies. At anytime you would like to discuss things with me in person and not on a board you know how to find me and I will be at all the shows this year starting with pheonix, toronto, Vegas, florida, and Amsterdam. Otherwise feel free to rattle your useless dribble here and impress your crew . I decided to stay away from board piss a while ago, and then gonzo asked me to buy into Oprano with him when Jon was bailing out of it .
I did thinking I would make it into a true business board. I failed and found myslef pising over wether or not a newbie was important or a veteran was important, and the funny thing is the people I was pissing with call themself retired LOL . so other than political piss I will no longer piss on a board for useless shit . If you don't like me that is fine, if you do not think I am good in business that is fine . If you have something valuable business wise to offer then I am intersted in talking at anytime. But piss will no longer draw me out I am far to busy for it. I wish all that still like it, or want to watch it, all the best , and I hope they make money from it at least.

I think this move is the best thing for Oprano, I think Bishop is a smart seasoned veteran with a lot of good business to offer to people.

I have the ultimate respect for AEBN a strong proven industry veteran
and I think Gonzo also sees the value of a good newbie and will offer help in that regard.

So I think this is quite possibly the best team of ownership that Oprano has ever had.

and to bring the thread back to where it should be. I am sure that they will do everything in their power to make this a successful place once again.

[Inabon]

DAMN i hate this fucking drama crap...

here it goes:

we were both right on our move to split i never saw earlmiller as a money loosing opportunity but they saw the datacenter as a money loosing one they were wrong but only cause i am very good LOL despite what mike ai thinks jajaja


and any wrong moves made because of fear of me failing were just that wong moves.

we are strong stable and anthony rocks as a customer so do all my other customers

I am glad to hear you are doing well Pedro, and I wish you the best of good business in your future.

Oh and MikeAI does not think, he is pre programmed like many of the other republicans. so he can not help it .

[Anthony]

yeah inabon is a good person , and HIS business dealings have nothing to do with me anymore or my pocketbook ( nor do mine have anything to do with him ) therefore they are are of no concern to me any longer, and there is no need for me to discuss what he does or does not do in business he is a sharp guy sometimes business plans are different . you shout newbie all you want AHAHAH

you are such a veteran .. and so good and of course anyone doing any business with you knows this :clapping:

I will just go to my newbie corner and have no clue and just slump a long like I have been doing .

but try to have some respect would ya for your friend and at least start a different thread to piss in rather than the one he is getting congratulated in .

BTW how is your program macdaddybucks doing? you are into some kind of billing now right instead of that ? How is the" e-mail marketing" doing for you? is it still as good as it used to be ?

and since you think you are slamming me by saying I called you to warn you that the data center would shut down . I would be glad to tell the story.

You a big customer of our data center ( wich was losing money and was buying BW at almost 200$ a Mbit then reselling it at 40$ ) not a good game plan in my eyes. ( however somehow Pedro has seemed to pull it off and I wish him the best of luck in his future and have a new respect for him for doing so however he did it ) Like I said it makes no difference to me if that was a bail out from your "e-mail marketing plan" or if it was hard work and determination by pedro with a different way to fund operations .The success or failure of that company has nothing to do with me anymore, and I have nothing but good thoughts and wishes for my old friend Pedro. I wish him a hearty congratulations on his ability to pull the data center back to a good and profitable business. ( on a pedro note he knows he or should he always has an open door with us)

I icqed and called " warned" you that the data center was in financial trouble and that I did not see how it would survive I know what a big baby you are and how much you like to run your mouth on a board when you think you got something, So considering Pedro was moving away from adult business, and Boldy and I were moving deeper into the adult business I knew we would be the one around the boards and the industry. I felt that once your servers crashed ( and how they didn't I will never know but as said before, I give a big Kudos and congratulations to Pedro and vielka for pulling that off however they did it as I know how deep in debt it was at the time and what the inner workings at the time and situation was) I assumed I would be the one to take the biggest board bashing over you losing your servers even though I was gone from the company prior to it happening. Since there was a possiblitity of us still doing business in the future and both being in adult, I did not want you to have a catastrophy and lose some as you called them " mission critical" servers for your " e-mail marketing plan" and end that relationship.

in hindsight the whole thing showed me Pedro had some smart moves up his sleeve and was sucessful at pulling the data center out of a crisis , a business decision that I was not prepared to put my focus and energy on at the time . ( his focus was solely on that, and mine was on earl Miller and making that new relationship as successful as it could be ) We were at a crossroads business wise and we made an amicable decison to split. I do not now, or have I ever had any hard feelings for Pedro.

You however took a warning, that was at the time given to you in a business desicon to be just that a warning so that you could not later say that you were not warned, or " how could I not have told you " and tried to start some bullshit with it later on ....

How petty , are you really that shallow Anthony?

You have shown me what a true piece of shit you really are. and I have seen all the proof I will ever need to, to know that.

BTW how well did Oprano do while you were running it and a mod here ?

all we saw was macdaddybucks spam all the time and a bunch of PAID posters saying the same old thing.

I will not entertain some worthless piss with you as I am far too busy on real projects to fuck with a jack ass wanna be thug like you that is all talk and watches to many mob movies. At anytime you would like to discuss things with me in person and not on a board you know how to find me and I will be at all the shows this year starting with pheonix, toronto, Vegas, florida, and Amsterdam. Otherwise feel free to rattle your useless dribble here and impress your crew . I decided to stay away from board piss a while ago, and then gonzo asked me to buy into Oprano with him when Jon was bailing out of it .
I did thinking I would make it into a true business board. I failed and found myslef pising over wether or not a newbie was important or a veteran was important, and the funny thing is the people I was pissing with call themself retired LOL . so other than political piss I will no longer piss on a board for useless shit . If you don't like me that is fine, if you do not think I am good in business that is fine . If you have something valuable business wise to offer then I am intersted in talking at anytime. But piss will no longer draw me out I am far to busy for it. I wish all that still like it, or want to watch it, all the best , and I hope they make money from it at least.

I think this move is the best thing for Oprano, I think Bishop is a smart seasoned veteran with a lot of good business to offer to people.

I have the ultimate respect for AEBN a strong proven industry veteran
and I think Gonzo also sees the value of a good newbie and will offer help in that regard.

So I think this is quite possibly the best team of ownership that Oprano has ever had.

and to bring the thread back to where it should be. I am sure that they will do everything in their power to make this a successful place once again.


Nice. Not at all my recollection. No need for me to go on about it, I believe I've made my point.

[Dianna Vesta]

These days I live at the beach. I live healthy. I spend my days doing basic design work where I can to get by. I work on my magazine. I shoot some content. All stuff I enjoy. I just needed a rest. My priorities have changed a lot!!

But Oprano will always be my board, no matter who owns it :-)

I'm with you on that all the way. I decided to revamp my sites but I'm not interested in going hog wild. If they pay for themselves, make me a little extra gravy then I’m good with that. I enjoy my sites because I’m into that lifestyle. In fact I’m making them more community portals with upsells & some member stuff.



Once I get everything operating (whenever that happens) I’ll go back to working a few hours a day and when I want to. The rest of the time I’ll talk to the pigs, ride horses through the woods & grow my own damn food. Things change & eventually you can afford to do what you want emotionally and economically.



We’ve paid our dues.



BUT I wouldn’t mind working part time for AEBN – they are now only 2 ½ hours from me! Bishop when I’m in Charlotte visiting my sister & mom I want to come there.

Final note- I love Oprano but sometimes it bores the shit out of me & other times its great. I hope the people here, we know and love stay because its the people that make it worth coming to.

[Bishop]

Dianna - Where are you located? I didn't realize you where in this area.

[TheEnforcer]

Nope, I caught that about Aly and her accent, I agree with him.

Is it british or aussie?? :)

[TheEnforcer]

Seriously????!! Dammit, for a brief moment I thought someone appreciated my breastesses :( :( :(

But I agree with Aly. She's #1 on my "When I do women" list ;)

I'm still a bit confused, but Ant and Nick are back so that makes me very happy!! :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:


You could always pull a Lisa!! :)

[Dianna Vesta]

Dianna - Where are you located? I didn't realize you where in this area.

I bought a 30 acre farm right over the border NC/VA. I looked all over NC outside Char where my mom and sister are. They live in Carmel area off Fairview. I even looked at a 40 acre place in SC right over the border. I kept driving and driving... I finally found this place.

I am 2 1/2 hours from Char. I am in Char a few times a month.

Do you guys shoot any content there or is it all nerd shit there? (editing, paperwork, you know)

DV

[Bishop]

All nerd stuff..

It is cool that you have a farm - that is a pretty area up there. I have a similar place here in the Charlotte area. Having that kind of land is nice. Next time your in town let me know and you can swing by the office to say hello. We are located between downtown and the southpark area.

[sextoyking]

Bishop,

Congrats to you :)

CJ - Good to see you around - Sounds like things are going great for you....

Lots of Hugs and Loves...:)

[domtheboy]

Not to self - stop turning my back, every time I do, some fucker changes everything :yowsa:

Anyway, nice to see some old faces back. Congrats to you Bishop, it'll be interesting to see what happens around here now. Things certainly seemed to be going a little, erm, "stale" shall we say for a while...

Ok I will.

You know the Dead Sea SCrolls are in Char. I'm going to see them Saturday

[Winetalk.com]

Sin, when was the last time you've had sex?

[Sin]

Uhm, can I answer that on Sunday? lol

[Winetalk.com]

Good answer, your teaser you!

Now...do you think we have a chance to bury this thread in the "swimming with the fishes" section?
;)

[Sin]

Is this thread advertising anything?

[Winetalk.com]

uh-uh-uh!

maybe some curves
;)

[Sin]

Alas but the curves seen in my avatar have been taken off the market ;)

A thread this good shouldn't be buried by any means. Hijacked perhaps, but not buried :)

[Winetalk.com]

burried? you are right,
it should "swim with the fishes"
:)

[Sin]

You are the one who queried if we could bury it lol

[Sin]

I think it should be made a permanent sticky announcement, and then whenever someone wishes to know who the current owners of this board are, they can simply check the most recent updates :)

[cj]

Bishop,

Congrats to you :)

He's more after the preparation h than the doughnuts, he's been complaining about his ass being sore...

[jaYMan]

[gonzo]

Thanks man.. if I ever decide to sell (not likely) you will be on the short list.

You are Captain Caaaaaaaaaaaavvvvvvvvvvveman!

[Sabby]

Congrats Bishop!

[softball]

Congrats.....I hope you get this board on track. It was trashed by the penultimate owners and the new guys did their best but need help. So far it is looking good.

[softball]

BTW, you might want to look at your advertising page. It is just a little out of date. All the trends are wrong.

We got some stuff to clean up still. Thank for the advice.

[gonzo]

Good luck, G
Thanks!

I dont think there will be much luck involved. A partnership is a very difficult thing. Bishop and I already work together doing marketing for at least 40 hours a week.

We are both in this business for the long haul and see Oprano as an important tool for all of us to use for the future. This is all business... the business of porn. Neither of us have any illusions to the contrary.

As they said tonight. The Family is back in business.
Oprano is porn again.
