no, I gave a few reasons as to why you are not worth wasting time on - I RARELY make sexism issues out of anything ... that is simply 1 of the points I made.
but ... do go on, personal attacks are your specialty! (now pipe back with 'my attacks are never personal, they are all business related') (To which I will reply 'what is using words like pathetic and clueless'?)
I agree with you on one thing, 'nobody is better than me' appears egotistical and silly without the video to accompany it. The cd containing all of my vegas video is somewhere over the pacific ocean, or lost on the floor of either australian or american postal services. Chalk yourself up a point on that one.
He's made it clear he has very little respect for women in business in the past and you know he has a chip on his shoulder with us Melissa because of our past with the apm. He will never give us any respect no matter how many times we prove we have valuable information.
________________
HAHAHAHA I am woman hear me blabber like a fool!
Instead of dealing with real issues ( When is Melissa going to prove that she has some real ability rather then just hot air) you immediatel rely on labeling me as a bigot against women.
Ask around - I love women. Hell I bet I have women on my staff that make more money then both you CJ and Melissa. ( I am not talking about talent either)
When you cannot back up an arguement with facts, you have to rely upon labeling people with names... hahaha

CJ how pathetic you are...
When I question a female in this industry, to show me the beef instead of joining me and asking Melissa to PROVE her status as a guru - you turn this into a "sexism" issue.
What a fool you are!! ( Oh and I say this as a human being not as you being a woman) That is so lame... I guess you are the female porn Jesse Jackson! haha
I treat everyone as equals - color, sex, religion, sexual orientation none of that matters to me... I only discriminate against MORONS.
You mention the Nobody is Better then Me is an inside joke - well not being an insider how do I know it is meant as a joke?
The only joke here is that Melissa has never proven her capacity to do anything but to promote HERSELF. And you come out blindly jumping to her defense using the excuse that I mistreat women.
HAHAHA You have no idea... you my dear are clueless.

'nobody is better than me' is actually a joke between a group of us that started in vegas - I am working on editing the video. Its very funny :-)
>>you would actually find that I have shared quite a bit of valuable information on oprano.
MikeAI only wants to hear the valuable information of his own products and his buddies. He's made it clear he has very little respect for women in business in the past and you know he has a chip on his shoulder with us Melissa because of our past with the apm. He will never give us any respect no matter how many times we prove we have valuable information. Mel, best is not to bother. Some people will never give you an opportunity to change their opinion of you. These are the people who cause you the most stress, for the least benefit or reason. :-(
Its lucky oprano has serge, or it would still be YNOTTOPPOND :-)))

HAHAHA I have nothing to promote Melissa - I am not saying you suck, and I rule.
Hell I suck - I am not holding myself out as a Guru, or better then anyone else unlike you.
All you spit out is words... empty words. Smoke and mirrors... I think we should give you a new nickmale... "slight of hand Melissa"
HYPE HYPE HYPE
You have not proved anything, except that you are full of yourself, your ego is as large as mine ( say it ain't so), and that you are a Guru of hot air.
It is impossibel for someone to prove a negative. Of course you knew this, and you rely upon this to try and find customers...
Hey I bet you can make the Statue of Liberty dissapear as well huh?
hahaha
Smoke and mirrors...
I don't want to piss - I want you to show us something that makes you a guru. To show us why Nobody is better then you.
You are of course entitled to your opionions, of course if you stopped for a minute of pissing and trying to bring down everyone but yourself (isn't that self promotion) you would actually find that I have shared quite a bit of valuable information on oprano.
As far as BillinGuru - well its all about marketing.

As far as my billing solution I gave my resons for not further discussing it. I will note that they are very successfull in the non adult areana.

MikeAI I don't believe I have ever posted anything on oprano that I haven't been able to back up.
Its your decision to let business walk out your door.
As far as webmasters that have gay sites looking for help on this board I wasn't commenting on I only asked for feedback on the www.cyberspasm.com which happens to be a board that covers gay sites, I asked for feedback on the articles, the lay out, the usefulness.
As far as your combativeness - mmm comments like "calling me on my bullshit" aren't combative at all?
As far as my billing solution I gave my resons for not further discussing it. I will note that they are very successfull in the non adult areana. MelissaD(Nobody is better than me!)
Did anyone see this?? I just saw it on sportscenter - I think it was pre-planned - a setup. If it was a real fight they would have been swinging, and not just hugging each other.
They did put on a good show - I am sure it will help ticket sales!

I like to discuss issues not personalities! I guess some people have issues with that and take it personally when they have nothing to bring to the table but smoke and mirrors.

Since MikeAI is always compative with me I would always listen to Serge, he hasn't steered me wrong yet.
______________
Melissa I am hardly combative, I just call you on your bullshit. If you see that as combative, well that is on you.
I personally think your billing system you are talking about is a figment of your imagination, or some sort of exageration, or has lots of strings attatched to make it unfeasable for the prudent businessman.
I firmly beleive if it seems to good to be true, it probably is!
MikeAI are you saying you don't have any gay traffic? Are you sure? Are you saying you don't care about the webmaster who has gay sites?

I have NO doubt that of the hundreds of thoudsands of surfers who stop by my sites, a fair percentage of them are gay. In the past we have advertised and tried to capture the market, and with our model it hurt our business. Therefore, I just let it slide - and focus on what I know works.
As the CEO of HiRise, I could care less about the gay market... :-)
As for Oprano, I do not see many gay programs or webmasters who run gay sites looking for any help... and if need be, Serge can handle it.

I mean .. some of the MAJOR sponors have a seemingly infinite number of consoles and this must be contributing to the overall decline in sign-up ratios in addition to some of the other reasons I discussed.

Colin - let's face it, all the smart operatorts know (or have convinced themselves) that you can't make a buck without cheating someone or abusing them. The problem is that there are now thousands of smart operators as opposed to only a handful a few years ago. So the known variables have become more viciuos for those who have a need to succeed.
Without regulation things will not change, but who will be the regulators ?

Serge - has anyone taken you to Biffs ? The view may not be too good but the burgers (and barbeque sandwiches) are incredible.
Serge, Dan (the man), Dravyk, Forest, Ulfie, etc. - I am back in Thailand and preparing things for your immanent arrival on these shores. The girls say it's OK you can come any time you like.
This dial up line nonesense is really pissing me off after four months of cable in the US. Oh well. Later.

After I wrote this week's Ask Colin article on why the business is getting so difficult it was pointed out to me today that the average sponsor's site is a bigger popup hell than my circle-jerks used to be.

I believe it was CJ that said the
surfer must be re-educated they they have to pay for good porn.
Pay site operators are teaching the surfer that it is NOT safe to click on a banner.
Free site operators should not have the entire burden of trying to improve this industry. Pay site operators need to shoulder some of that responsibility too.

Good afternoon
"I never been brave enough to go on with my own business"
Alien, None of my biz but you seem like a sharp fellow with good web understanding. Why not start your own biz and "enter the long woods". You may have a few thorn patches and hills to climb at first but the real secret to getting ahead in life is over time. Why give your time to someone else. In a few years your looking good.
There has never been an easier business to get in to on your own.
I never even considered working for anyone. First thing I did was decide on a business name and go for it. I may not have made as much at this point as working for someone successful but the curve is now closer to it's apex and my work for myself is now starting to pay off. But it takes time.
Just a thought I wanted to bounce off ya. You may be doing real well working for others and that is cool. Certainly starting out today is not as easy as it was 3-4 years back.
But, if you can keep your ship floating on what you have today and keep expenses low it can be done. And someday your sitting pretty instead of being let go.
The beauty of being your own boss - noone can EVER let you go. ; )
