Hey Forest..your a fucking genius.
Incase no one else saw it.Forest is now "promoting" an affiliate software program on other boards that boasts on its page:
"Here you set the % of uniques and sign ups that the program will show your webmasters participating in this program."
hahahaha
then the owner of the program got cold feet:
"When that is said I have seen all the pepper we have gotten on this board for that option in this program. And we have decided to take that option totally out. We've got emails and ICQ messages from concerned webmasters, and have decided to just delete this option totally from the program.We will not offer this anymore"

I would have to agree with Ulfie, recips give me almost no traffic.
I get a real lot of Google traffic, almost every thing I build promotes my link list, I have a traffic script, I also bounce traffic back and forth to my top list, 404 pages, the list just goes on.
I hope you don't mind me copy/pasting your post,

That's OK Serge, I'll just have some sharp instruments for the next time we meet.
I submit to a few of the smaller ones - people that I know. In fact, at least one of them has admitted that he doesn't even LOOK at my sites anymore, just lists them, lol! And a few of these send me emails. There are several that don't, but list me anyway. That's fine with me :) I just can't imagine blaming someone for NOT sending you an email when your stats will show you whatever it is you need know.
LOL, Serge - that looks more like an email I'd receive from an ex-boyfriend ;)

It seems to be the trend to not send you e-mail if you have been listed or not, but they still send the submitted useless spam.
My link list friends tell me this to avoid hate mail from declines. I send e-mail and get very little hate mail so bullshit.
Many link lists are now sharing a blacklist, mine included, so if you do not get any e-mail you may want to check it,
http://bl.usefulscripts.com/blocked/
Peaches, that's one of the things that make that post on the other board so hilarious. These people actually believe they're being robbed of hundreds of hits a day. I have thousands of sites listed in my link list and 99% of the traffic comes from MY sites or search engines. The only reason I require a link back is for search engine popularity. If I relied on them for traffic I would have like 20 clicks a day.

I realize it's been awhile since I've submitted to link lists, but when did they start letting you know if you're in or not? IIRC, PK, Green Guy, Tommy, Richard's Realm, etc. never told you anything and all required a link back before they'd list you. I'd just check my stats for a week and if I didn't see any traffic, I'd pull the banner and try again. Have things changed??!

Mike AI: So now you have hired 1 full time and 8 more part timers since yesterday? Wow. I bet Lee Ioccoca can't even get a call through to you these days...
Why are you so obviously desparate to prove you are better than me? Could it be that you feel inferior? I don't have to brag about any of that stuff... guess I have had mine longer than you or something... You have no idea about my companies yet you continue to assume that you do. I will give you a business tip, since you are obviously still going up the learning curve here, that is a big mistake.
While you were bitching yesterday about how you actually have to work now to keep your share of the industry, I was thinking how much easier it is becoming for me...
While you were bragging how much you pay your mom, I was thinking how my mom does not have to work another day in her life and lives in a place that you could not get a shack for what you could get a mansion for in LA.
While you were dissing those amateurs, I was making good relationships with them and wondering who would eventually erode your market share the most...
And of course, while you were out sunning yourself and thinking what a great and upright and professional and fantastic fountain of specialness that you are, I was thinking what a poor arrogant prick your money has made you.
Finally, while you were out and about to play mogul, I was wondering when you would get off your high horse and figure out how well Homegrown Content would work in your sites...

f-r l you are such a fool. I wish I only had a site or 2 to handle. However, I have over 250 individual pay sites, and more free sites than I can keep track of. Easily in the tens of thousands. I havee over 1,500 domain names that these sites are on, and manage over 500,000 unique hits a day.
With 16 full time employees, and 8 part time, it is unfortunate I spend most of my time with administration, making deals, and pointing HiRise in general directions.
I do not micromanage, nor do I raid my employees pension funds.
Oh did I also mention that that I have 4 other companies I work with. A construction company with my family, a real estate investment company, and of course being a partner in InterCosmos Media Group, which owns DirectNIC. Oh yeah I am also part owner of Oprano. :-)
In between all of this, I play orgnized sports twice a week, try to spend lots of quality time with my family, friends and fiance', travel at last 1 week a month, fish and hunt, oh and of course make time to on Oprano to piss with dingleberries like you!
So please excuse me if I do not get back to you for a few hours, I have decided to leave the beach house in Florida early to get back to New Orleans so I can play golf tommorow with some of my friends.
:-)
Oh and f-r l, I will be more then happy to show you my log files for past year for AI. There is no great influx of traffic from anyone but my sites. Gee it is nice to have orignal sources of traffic, a luxury you do not have, so you have to pander to all the tiny webmasters.
I will put my ethics, my business practices, my education, business acume, investment strategies, beauty of models, payroll, dick size ( well maybe not that sice its well know I am flea size), hell I will compare ANYTHING you want... when its all tallied up I will still come out way ahead.
It must suck being you, knowing that your still the nerd you were in grammer school... still at the bottom of the pile. I guess if you were a little younger you would arm yourself and try to pull a colubine. Were you part of the trench coat mafia? :-)

Yeah JMM, I went to AmMasters to reach out, explain why we do business like we do. Then to explain we will be opening up submissions again. I was reaching out trying to open dialogue, and maybe some business...
Well it was an ambush... so when I turned around to defend myself, and counter them... it turned into a good old fashion piss. And those who know me, I never back away from a good PISS... :-) Of course many could not handle the heat...
Ashame that only a few actually reached out to do business. That board will never progress, and the people who go there will never learn more then whats in their little circle.
The incestious behavior will continue.
Here at Oprano we are always looking for new opinions, and new ideas - even if they are contraversial, even if they include slamming me or anyone else.
We encourage disent, critical thinking, ball busting in the Oprano No Spin Zone... I guess that is what makes this place unique...
It is people like YOU who makes Oprano a special place!

If there is one cliche that adequately describes the amateurmasters regulars, it would have to be:
"They can dish it out but they can't take it."
They jumped on Mike like ugly on dravyk..but when Mike and others showed up to defend themselves, and in the process point out how hypocritical and not too bright the amateurmasters regulars are, then all of the sudden they start crying like little girls. Piss this, Piss that, blah blah blah, yadda, yadda, yadda. It was funny yet sad to watch them coil up like a frightened pussy cat. Some of them even cried to Rick to make us big bad evil boys stop.
However, when all was said and done, I laughed my ass off yesterday.

This is a good time of year, with Mardi Gras and SuperBowl wrapping it... it was a hell of a month for NO.
Also it appears we may be getting a REAL progressive mayor rather then the typical crooks we have had for years. The guy came out of no where, has never held any political office, just a business man. Might be able to turn New Orleans around in the business sense...

However, even if it is not, we have the quote set up CLEARLY, with the graphic to show people that is is NOT OUT WORK OR OUR WORDS. It would like like quoting something in a scholoarly work. I beleive the photo, and use is properly footnoted.
There is also something called fair use, and public domain. But I am sure you really do not want me to go into a long lecture on that. (If you do drop me an e-mail. :-)) I know your intentions were to bust my balls...

Although both train lines are on a strict 10 minute running schedule, the Bronx
train always arrives two minutes after the Brooklyn train. Since his arrival
at the station is random, that puts the odds 4.5 to 1 in favour of Brooklyn.
The fifth man is too embarrassed to tell his weight BUT
