Like Kimmy, I was only half right as well, but very happy and surprised to see the announcement.
I wish Gonzo and Nick the very best in this new venture, although I'm sure it will probably seem like old hat to them.
Serge and Mike. Good job getting the board where it is today. My mind is wandering back to the early days of the flat board now. Oh what fun that was as well.
Good luck to all!

Meat,
glad you mentioned that....we DO have a few European trips planned you might tag along....have you reinstated your "privilleges" in Spain?
;-))
Nothern Italy, Spain and Iceland by car are still in the planning stages
;-))
I was surprised too, about the NEW team. I would have never guessed Nick. You are one of the few people I have never met. When we gonna change that?
Congrats MikeAI & Serge. Now Mike can get back to spending more time with his wife & making money. Serge can travel without wondering what is happening at Oprano. I am sure you both have mixed feelings:-) But, I know you will both be back & raise more hell than ever.. :P
Congrats Gonzo & Nick - a new venture is always exciting!
Serge, after our last trip togther, even tho i was sick i can hosnetly say even tho ive traveled alot, a trip away isnt the same until you have traveled with Serge and Susan.
I would love to check out europe with you guys Spain is a fantastc country would love to see it again

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.
Cleo do I detect a bit of jealousy? It's ok, keep working hard and maybe one day you can retire as well.
The flag waving will continue. If a po'boy from down on the bayou can retire at 34, the American dream is still alive. Embrace it!

I don't plan on every retiring. It is my belief that it causes that body and mind to atrophy.

This is a very exciting time for all of the Oprano family. Thank you so much Mike and Serge for giving us a place to chat amongst friends. I look forward to what new blood will bring! Congratulations Gonzo and Nick I can't think of a better fit for Oprano than the two of you.
What can I say? Change is good, i guess, for everyone involved. Mike, are you retired, or just stepping away a little from the adult industry?
Serge has been retired for a while... not exactly sure how this changed his status in life... ;-)
I guess those Oprano T-shirts will be classics on Ebay soon.

Moving on from the adult biz. It is a decision I made 4 months ago. I hope to have most of my affairs tied up by early 2005.
While I have no specific plans for the future, I am going to take some time off, relax, spend time with family, travel and enjoy life for awhile.

As you can see Biggy weve already started making a few minor changes....
The only thing I want to really say right now is this.....
Thank You
Mike AI and Serge, over a year ago you guys took a chance on me and gave me the keys to run the show. To most of you I was an unknown....a newbie to even some of you [hahaah Forest].
In the past year I have grown to not only respect and learn a tremendous amount about the business from Mike and Serge but also the regulars here at Oprano.
In the past weve taken on the likes of a psychotic 300lb internet groupie that littered our board....weve call scammers what they were even though sometimes it was found out after they were advertisers and most recently the Family has shown that an advertiser is incapable of holding this board for ransom.
Thanks to each and every one of you for being a regular on this board. The community is defined by the tone of its most frequent posters and its been my pleasure to interact on this board each and every day.
Mike and Serge are ensured to be arond these parts for a long time. My first act [besides firing Am Jeff] is to announce a new group on this board. We have created an advisory board of sorts that will be chaired by Mike and Serge and comprised of 5 seats.
Seats will represent a company or individual that we arrange for a long time business relationship and will help bring even newer blood to Oprano.
It is my pleasure to announce that the Magnificant Seven already has a group in one seat. Welcome The crew from Remote Thumbs..... Joe,Boldy and Inabon to the family.

Mike Ai and Serge- Love what you guys have built here at Oprano! It truly is unique in both it's feel and the core group of people who come here and post regularly. It's a credit to you two as some of the best people in the industry, both business wise and just as good people, post here on a regular basis!
Nick and Gonzo- I have greatly enjoyed, and will continue to do so, talking with the both of you and know that the the two of you will have some great things in store for the future of Oprano. It's been entrusted to good hands no doubt!!
And remember Nick-

So sorry I'm late for the party - but you know how us left-coasters are.... *yawns* It got so cold & the heater was so nice... I overslept. *hangs head in shame*
CONGRATS to MikeAI and Serge on "retirement" - I'm sure you two know how to enjoy without all of our well-wishes. You've made Oprano a home for many of us who otherwise would have felt like cast-aways in a sea of bullshit boards. THANK YOU for everything you've done to make this house a home.
CONGRATS to Nick and Gonzo - I'm sure we ain't seen nuthin' yet. With you two running the show it's going to definitely be even more THE board to watch. Gonzo has been dropping hints about some of his ideas lately and from what I've seen, you guys are about to launch some amazing shit.
CONGRATS to Opranonauts everywhere! Today marks the day of a new beginning, a new reign of leadership - and not a bad time to go shopping for virtual bullet proof vests. Lock-and-load and strap yourselves in folks - it's going to be a fun-filled exciting ride!
WTG guys - so happy Mike & Serge will be staying around as part of the family and can't wait to see what the new "management" will be up to first!
