MikeAI and Serge are out,
Nick@Ilynx and Gonzo are in.

Let's all congratulate the NEW owners of Oprano!

It's been a quite a ride, lots of memories, lots of faces coming and going, and I would like to thank EVERYBODY, including the banned mothefuckers for all the fun I've had with Oprano.

I would like to finish this post with the quote from Elle Driver and Budd from Kill Bill II, they summed it all up about retirement, even though their profession is only slightly similar to the running of Adult Webmaster Chat Board...
;-))

Budd : So, which "R" you filled with?
Elle Driver : What?
Budd : They say the number one killer of old people is retirement. People got 'em a job to do, they tend to live a little longer so they can do it. I've always figured warriors and their enemies share the same relationship. So, now you ain't gonna hafta face your enemy on the battlefield no more, which "R" are you filled with: Relief or Regret?
Elle Driver : A little bit of both.
Budd : Bullshit. I'm sure you do feel a little bit of both. But I know damn well you feel one more than you feel the other. The question was, which one?
Elle Driver : Regret.

Serge, Mike:

Wow, that is a shocker.. I didn't expect that..

Jeese I hope we still see you around.

Nick, Gonzo

Congrats on taking over Oprano...

Todd,
you know me since 1996 and you STILL expect "expected" from me?
;-))))

Ditto!

Yeh, I guess this is the unexpected....

Makes me feel kinda sad, like were loosing a family member :(

Now I get it.. Congrats Gonzo my friend.. :D

The kings are dead !!

Long live the kings !!

Wow, a moment in history and I am privileged enough to be here for it.

Serge, Mike take care.

Nick, Gonz, good luck.

And to quote another famous movie line:
And that's about all Ive got to say about that

:ph34r:

all things must change
I spoke with Gonzo about this a couple days ago and look forward to the things he and Nick will come up with....

congrats to the new bosses and hello to more gayness than ever before ;-)

wow ! all the best for all of you guys !
the retirees and new owners !
quite a shock but in good hands with Gonzo and Nick !

Very interesting news.


Congrats gonzo and nick.


Serge and Mike, I am assuming you are remaining part of the oprano family.

wow, change of guard, congrats all

JP!
long time no see man
Are you and Viv making it out to Vegas again for New Year's Eve? It's also our Centennial, so they are really cranking it up this year...

of course we are! we have no other affiliations, Oprano was, is and always be our "baby", even if it's matured enough to have it's own children
;-)

I will be around. This is home.... just hope the new guys don't ban me for calling them thieves and assholes!

As the ship and world turns my friends.

Jeese Serge, from the first time I had contact with you 8 yrs. or so ago and Mike it's been quite a few yrs seeing you around too.

For the book I am writing (with a real writer :) I will mark this down in adult internet history..

from ynot - netpond - ynotnetpond?? - oprano - to the turnover.

I have laughed, I have yelled, mabey even once shed a tear, I have also loved :)

You both are top notch people, have both done biz with every major player in our industry, had your ups and downs, and turning over this chapter with respect of alot of people.

Happy Holidays, Much love to you and your families.

May your clicks in life be worth riches $$

Todd

100th year anniversary sounds fun.
depending if we can extend our house lease here or having to move in January we will be in Vegas and hell yeah we would be there early to party new years in Vegas again.
I let you know once I know more. moving after only 1 year would suck. We just got all fixed up again after severe hurricane damage to pool, roof and patio.
where do you send your webcamtraffic to ? ;-) we just added more billing and crank out some new promo stuff soon. can be custome made as well for ya. lets talk mailers :) havent signed up for your program yet. lets rock !

Congrats all around! :D

Fuck, I just crawled out of my corporate hellhole to drop by and see what's goin' on in pornoland and stumble upon a changing of the guard. :-) How exciting!

Hope everyone's having a happy and safe holiday season.

Serge, Mike - if you & the ladies'll be out this way during some of your leisure time, it'd be great to see you! I'm easy to reach. :P


Buy this damned game - let not the hours sucked away from the lives of corporate drones be in vain! :nyanya:

I think it was the last time I saw CJ too

it's going to be even bigger this year :)

good luck with the house and let me know how it goes.

We're doing some member's area upgrades, let me tuck a couple of galleries of your camgirls in our members area :)

Congrats Gonzo :) I am really happy for you!

Mike and Serge - glad to hear you will still be hanging around :)

Congrats to my old friend. Gonzo, you still rock buddy!

Congrats Gonzo and Nick!!

will you guys be releasing any statements on what you plan on changing/doing if anything :)

I have come to call Oprano a home, a place where educated people who have been in this industry for more than 6 months can come and talk :)

First of all
Thank you very much MikeAI and Serge
You truely are both gentlemen, class acts and I am honored and proud to call you both good friends


Oprano has been the class of all adult webmaster boards for some time. That has came from the top (Serge, Mike, Edd, Mutt and Gonzo) down as well as from the family and everyone (even the morons) who have graced Oprano with their posts and shared parts of their lives

I fully hope and expect Serge and Mike to stay on board and frequent Oprano. It wouldn't be the same without you (plus I know where you live :P )


I also look forward to the future with Nick and Gonzo taking over the helm. The Oprano child has grown. While Oprano may retain some of the same flavor I am sure some new tastes will come our way too.


Being one of the founding fathers of Oprano I can say this is both a joyous day and a sad day

The King is Dead
Long Live the King

Well said Vick!!!

I concur, perfect sentiments Vick

Holy Shit!

This is a HUGE surprise!

Congrats you fuckers!

WOW!

That was totally unexpected.

Congrats Gonzo / Nick and happy retirment Mike / Serge ;)

Dammit, I hate when I'm only half right.

Congrats to all satisfied parties!!! This turn of events should prove to be at least minimally Machiavellian!

Wow - I'm shocked, glad to hear you guys'll be sticking around :blink:

Congrats to all parties involved and Good Luck to Gonzo and Nick! :)

Well, I will use my first post on this board as a congrats to Gonzo and Nick. :)

Damn well done guys!

Hmm.. im sure I can sue for something! lol :nyanya:

Congrats to Nick and Gonzo!

Congrats to Mike and Serge!

Everytime I get out , they drag me back in......

;-)))

Thanks for all the congrats.

Me and gonzo are honoured and grateful that ,in a way , we were chosen to take over the mantle from Mike ,and Serge.

We look forward to many many new things to try out ,some which will be great , some will be total crap , I'm sure.

The tradition of political discusion and the piss will of course stay :)

Again , thks everyone.

And I must remember...never say never..

The first thing I'm gonna do , is go to sleep..

See y'all in the am , West Coast time,,,

;-))

Congratulations, guys! This is awesome!! :) :) :) Though I think this has to be the worst keep secret on the internet, lol!

Or is there more you're saving for later? :groucho:

Wow the troll is moving on in life.

Just one question with MikeAI gone who is going to hold up and wave the flag?

Possibly coming to a town near you… one troll looking for employment. Comes complete with conservative animated talking flagpole.

I am fuckin' speechless and thank everybody for a VERY warm words...I am fuckin' touched!

Oprano family will always be our family,
in thoughts, deeds, and spirit.

Congrats to everyone !!!!!!

:cdance: :bjump: :purpdance: :hic:

That musta been a whole mess of cash that Nick came up with for you to tear up like that :yowsa:
