How did you start BP4L? Was it an idea you had that you implemented? OR was it something that started as a fluke, caught on and you ran with?
Intrestiong... I thought you knew the story how it really started??
Back in i think 98 it kind of started.. As you know I was and am a TGPer..
Back then we had some good sites with good conversions.. There werent many message boards and us tgpers stuck together.. This was before the sleazydream days even..
I made a lot of my cash simply by webmaster refereals.. Topbucks, (then it was called topcash) amateurpages, SIC, all those programs did kick ass in early 2000 and late 90's.. I myself could make about 8k a month off hardly any traffic back then.. You were around in 99 so you know this is true..
Well tgp people know other tgp people.. We had to in order to set up trades and shit.. Well I made most my money refereing webmasters to affilate programs.. I got a reputation for it.. It was as if I was the socaial pipline at one time to them.. ID go to shows and sponsors would joke, hey BP, intduce me to your "FAMILY" kinda like the old drug family netowrks of yesterday, they were here in adult early on..
So I did. Id refererr family.. Big tgp guys.. Old owners of big sites.. I was making about 20k a month for a few years I think it was just off refereals..
Shit some of these sites only paid me 1 penny per every click my referal would send.. Topcash alone I would make about 8k amonth off pennies!!
Thats a lot of pennies!!
So thats how it all started. Before it was a network of sites.. Friends. Traffic.. A "Family" it started from there.. After about 2000 or so it started to die down.. FOr everyone.. The money got less and the gold rush was over.. But i still had a reputation.. And then GFY was invented..
I still had this pull, this aura about me back then, and lens knew it.. Made me moderator.. Then reality started to become fantasy.. Everyone, even if you didnt make money wanted to be family.. I let em in..
Going to the wemasetershows, it just spunout of contorl.. and i went with it..
The dynamic of whoring was created.. Evolved.. Now it was just purely marketing.. In 01-02 I made less money in the biz than ever before.. But everyone fucking knew me..
in 03 I made a big come back biz wise .. And now here we are in 04.. Just relaxing..
There is a lot lot lot more inbetween but thats the jist of it.

So when a person like Joesho, who isnt even in our industry is gunna come teach you and inform you and talk about the industry and about me and the family I find it all kinda funny..
Maybe Ill tune in..
Like i said ive talked to joe a lot. he's a great personality. His 420 idea kicks ass.. it really does..
But he really doesnt know anything about this industry. And he really knows nothing about me..
But still I think we should all tune in to learn..

Serge help build Oprano into what it WAS, and I helped build GFY into what it once was...
Thats about all people know about us..
The rest only still the close and real "family" know..
My programers, my people i make money with and deal with everyday dont even go to the shows.. 80% of em dont even post on the boards.
I still have that real family tucked away.. Those who i talk to on icq everyday about money and biz know..
Much of what we do is not really talked about publically.. just as im sure you Mike AI dont talk about all your shit on messages boards pubically either..
Boards are boards.. You cant take em to serious.. Its just fun..
Kinda like taking pics and doing handsigns..

We are still going to India, China and Japan this year, and hope to have a baby next year..
Thinks are changing here with me.. A lot.. Taking a break, but dont let it fool you im doing better than ever..
And as for the gambling Im done.. No more.. Been a few weeks or so but im done.

no, we don't pay per posts,
we are after quality, not quantaty
;-))))
as for pimpwhathisname, he is banned here,
we don't tolerate MORONS with no clue.
as for love.....I made the MOST of my money being hated by 1/2 of the big guys and 3/4 of the small ones.
Hate is a VERY good emotion to use on the boards
;-))))
ANd Gonzo..
If you are a designer, and a good one much respect. They are hard to come by..
I once knew another designer who was a moderator of a board as well..
He too was a good designer..
It seems desginers, moderators, and hot heads all seem to be a package deal now days all in one..
Cool..
Did you design Mike's sites? If so damn.. Nice work...
Im looking for a good designer, but im figuring you are probably exclusive, or Im just not elite enough and you cant distinguish board dynamics from biz and you wont work with me.
You take things pretty serious here so it seems.
