I was there when it was C.O.N.D.O.M, had my first site ripped to peices by Nick and I was told to fuck off and try again.... I lurked watching piss after piss, deals being done, partnerships formed, programs launched... yadda yadda yadda
BUT!!! I still couldn't give two shits if that board stays or goes... it's only a collection of pixels
Hehehe - Confucy, you are so incredibly predictable. I need to start wagering with HP and Gonzo on you - the only problem is that they would agree with me when I made a prediction so they'd never make the bet.
I know a lot more about you than you think, and one of the things I know is that you would never have the balls to meet me for a drink. Some proof is all your ranting and raving about wanting to have your day in court and then being a pansy by not only refusing to show up, but lying about not knowing about the court date, lol! :P
You are not now and you never have been in the porn industry except for any gofer work you might do for Lew and your frightening infatuation with Duck! You can't even use Lee, the only webmaster who tolerates you, as an adult business referral since she's not a pornographer.

I'll meet you for a drink next time I'm on that side of the pond
Unless you grew up on CONDOM and NetPond you remain clueless of its intrinsic value and contribution.
The times antiquated the flat board.....
I said it then, and I will say it now, running the 2 NetPond boards was a mistake, it fractured the community.
The flatboard remained the bread and the butter and the threaded was intended to supplement sponsor exposure so I was told. Running the patriarch board free and the threaded board paid was the error.
They should have closed down the flat and gone threaded at the time GFY was taking off, and not gone paid...and they would probably still be a force to contend with....at least in the Top 3 boards.
No season veteran would move to a busy body noisy stupid threaded message board littered with lameness threads chasing a trip to England....thats when the earth shifted.
Yup, I made quite a beef on the flatboard about this much to the annoyance of Aga and Meat....trying to bring to the attention the fracture of the community of the posting gorilla's that added such flavor and lurrker interest. But they built a different, milder community that are quite happy over. NetPond has a name but lost its founding game, thats all.
I do not agree with incentified boards, never have and never will and Oprano is one of my fav boards because it is REAL....and not doing incentives has spared Oprano alot of volume noisy threads which turn me off.
Busy does not mean better....I am noticing Brad is running out of threads to start....which I hope over time does not make that board appear, "forced" to keep momentum.
The times have changed the roles of resource sites, newbie help places etc. 300+ boards are probably in commerce and our industry is scattered amonst them all.
If every resource site went down, we would be none the worst. The message boards could carry the learning need.
Anyhoo we have way to much free porn due to TGP webmasters, so we really need to teach alot less.....we are at the point where if the noobs cannot figure out this business, stay out of it :-)))

You, KK, and a few others that I can count on one hand make me proud of the time I spent helping New Webmasters.
I couldn't do now what I did then, but it is a pleasure to watch all of you who asked me for advice almost a half decade ago prosper, and grow in our industry.
Haha, speaking of critiquing a first site, I think I still hold the record for most fucked up first one... how many pictures that you dont have license to use CAN one put on a free site? No warning page, hardcore all over it, rofl, it lasted about two hours from the time I posted the url... on the newbie board no less... Tat2Jr, Ant, Nick (whom I so affectionately referred to as Kevin in Dokks chatroom the same day lol) Tommy, Morgan, and I think Marina even were among the loudest laughing at the damn thing...
When I look at the people that started 5 years ago, all of the ones that survived and thrived were on that board. No other.
I remember all kinds of shit that happened on that board... Veronica Snake, Netpond Jesus, the day that people finally realized their anon posts weren't so anon ;-}}}}
We didn't always get along but damned if it wasn't fun.

*KK*, we agree.
There was no way I could take my eye off that board for an hour, 7 days a week....it was so intense and so driven....brutal but supporting and loving, er...that is if you were not the one getting tarred and feathered...LOL.
I was a true NetPond board addict.
Gonzo, you liked my words about newbies, huh? I meant it!

I remember when you first started posting. Really stupid assinine know it all shit, which you carry on with to this day, ie in this thread.
Bullshit. I asked questions - and lots of them. I've never pretended to be someone big, even though Confucy was convinced that I was from day one posting under a different nickname. I *still* ask a lot of questions and at the boards that let me choose the title under my name I've put "Eternal Newbie".

You keep telling us if we cared we could go back. Get your head out of your ass, we don't post there because we DON'T CARE TOO.
That is my point, Anthony.
No one cared enough about the board to stay there or go back, and now they're "awww-ing" over the loss of the board.
One way or the other folks - not both. Either you DON'T CARE or you do.
Quote:
Seriously, if you know my history, then you should also know that I've taken it quite easy on you in my old age.
And I've never asked you to. I've never asked *anyone* to take it easy on me. Throw it at me Anthony. If you want a punching bag for the year, go right ahead. It's not going to stop me or chase me away. (Take of that what you will.)

I think I can talk for everybody when I say, Shut The Fuck Up, go rain on someone elses parade, you are not welcome to here.
Interesting.
Do you always want to be surrounded by people who have the exact same view as yourself? Seems life would get pretty boring and your business would get stale after a while.
Personally I'd rather have someone banging heads with me and making me think than have a kiss-ass yes man, but whatever rocks your boat.

Nobody here who is reminiscing gives a fuck about the netpond flat board the past year, we are talking about the closing of an era that it represented for us. We all left the board together when whiney fucking newbies like you started mouthing off without a fucking clue what you are talking about - just like you are doing here.
Its like when you have a friend who you stop having things in common with so you only catch up for coffee occasionally, then just fall out of touch. Or when your friends get divorced and you lose touch with one of them ... that's what reminiscing is. I like meat & aga, Jayman, headless, but never liked the community at netpond when those who I did business with left. Meat, Aga & I contact each other directly if we need to.
We can sit around and toast a 'period of time' in a pub whenever we fucking like, and oprano is our pub. Who the fuck do you think you are coming in here and telling us we can't reminisc in our own pub?! Nobody asked you for your opinion.
If you don't like it, keep your lips permanently attached to brads ass and slurp your way back to whatever the fuck that board is called. let us reminisc in peace about times way before ye.
This is the almighty ass-tanning Gonzo was talking about?
Damn. I had my pants pulled down and everything. What a let-down.
CJ you can do better than that, I've seen ya do it.
For a bunch of folks who preach about thick skin and not taking what's said on the boards seriously, it sure is easy to get you riled up.
All you have to do is present a differing opinion. Imagine that.

Carrie is an interesting creature...she either makes smart or moronic posts with absolutelly NOTHING in between
;-))

You just can't get into your head that no one cares about your point of view. Netpond died for us when we left. What was left is something you hold onto, not us.
I believe I have concensus that you in this thread have been moronic.

Anyone disagree?
Better watch out - that "disagree" word doesn't seem to sit well with you.
You don't get that I don't care about *your* point of view.
Maybe one day you'll remember what it's like to have a differing opinion, a fresh point of view, and not have to fall in lock-step with everyone else.
Keep bashing if you wish. I'll go on being nothing more than a moronic newbie, and you can go on being nothing more than a sidekick, and we'll both be happy.

tell me Carrie, how can you show signs of intelligence occasionally but be so fucking thick the rest of the time?!
does it really upset you this much that you aren't included in the 'reminiscing'? or that you and your other newbie friends ruined the most successful board in our industry?
don't take your failure's out on us love - save your bitching for weasle's board!

Not everyone can be at the top of this game as we are. There's always someone at the bottom of the barrel looking for scraps.
CJ, in case you haven't noticed, I'm not upset. I've been laughing this entire page as you and Anthony try so hard to give me a dressing-down.
But it's been really swoit to watch you purve... err, purge your jealousy over Brad's successes in the meantime.
Anthony, "at the top of this game" is a phrase that should be reserved for your boss.
The two of you put on your pants the same way I do. So if you're done beating your chests now and trying to look down your noses, I've got more important things to do... like wash my hair.

for someone who isn't upset you sure do have a lot to say about a subject you don't care about!
i wish i could come up with a clever response using play on words with your sites ... only ...
what do you do again?
oh that's right, you post on boards for money.
h34r:
nobody here is beating their chests but you carrie, we were just minding our own business reminiscing about old times when you jumped in and started slamming us ... you seemed to be rather 'upset' about our conversation.
i understand, being pregnant must really mess with your emotions. relax, i'm sure anthony can send you something to help ...
