And Ive been in both Serge and Nicks homes too but not living in the basement.

And it wasnt a Bentley I rode with Jon in when I was in vancouver it was a mini cooper.
You can pack a lot of ass in a small car like that though.
I wonder if he bought that Mustang he was eyeing back then? I already had a 4 cylinder car and chose to buy a Charger SRT-8 instead.
And like this board... I paid cash for it too.

We're all full of shit, and we all know it.. And I dont really care about what anyone else does.. and you (and maybe even gonzo) might be more content with life than I am, despite anything else..

But in the end, I'll be fine even if both the adult industry and the 'mainstream' internet both die completely, financially anyway, so how about we just let my psychiatrist figure out the rest (on my end anyway..)

Bad choice of locomotion. I have seen piccies of Serge's crib. It looked like an Eastern European dream with Sears furniture and fake Picassos. And Jon lives in the middle of nowhere and there is no way on God's green earth he paid a million bucks for that place at that time as he said. Why the fuck do you think I don't believe a word of this?
Now, I am not saying those guys didn't do well, but certainly not as much as all that. What you spend is not necessarily what you are worth.

[softball]

Anthony, you seem like an alright guy to me. You don't need to bang this drum so loudly.

I'd appreciate if you did.. the address is:
SANTA CLAUS
NORTH POLE
H0H 0H0, CANADA

It's the Canadian address. But I'm sure if you just put "Angelic" on it, for this year, that it'll get to me.. I mean, after all, we clearly both still believe in Santa..

I mean, you and everyone else here still believe the adult industry will be the same as it was in '99 in 10 years.. (or a few others, that still stick, to the DVD era, so '95)..

OK, so going from zero to OK is an improvement. But going from OK to zero is a failure. So, tell us about how you went from a broke ass bankrupt to rich. It would be inspirational. I mean if you can't afford the payments on a cheap low rent condo,being rich must feel good. Maybe being rich in Panama means something entirely different than in the first world. Hell I could move to Winnipeg or Viet Nam and live like royalty.

Hes probably busy doing his daily change of the T&Cs so he can screw webmasters out of affiliate money.

Oh thats right didnt he move to some 3rd world ghetto with Kman so he could fuck shemales and brag about living like a millionaire on 30K a year?

[angelic]

Im sure Timon would be offended.. Although, Im also sure he doesnt give a fuck about what you think.. (As for me, Ive never been to Thailand..)

But I did business with IEG back in the day.. as well as with Timon, Kman.. and come on, we all know they do better than you, Gonzo, etc..

Gonzo, we're hiring.. want a job? I mean, the one company.. AEBN, that started the first major tube (so thanks to AEBN for ruining the adult industry...), and STILL couldn't make any money.. They're also obviously isn't paying you very well anymore since you're doing this shit:
http://gonzoconsulting.com/

[softball]

Anthony, you are still funny, man. Now about the default on the property. Answer this question, if you are so rich, howcum you had your cheap ass apartment repossessed? A simple answer works.

Im waiting for you to buy them so you can pay me better and show us all how its done.

After all you made a clone of a fake BBS program and became a millionaire with it on an adult BBS at 23.

Why do all you self proclaimed millionaires flee to the 3rd world countries?

[softball]

I think Angelic Anthony has bit the big one here.

[DannyCox]

I'm sorry, but I don't remember Anthony. Who was he?

I never really hung around any boards that much, so it always puts me at a disadvantage

Say whatever you want.. but I know business.. more so than any of you ever will.. and I started coming here for that reason.. business, that is..

Good. Write me a check, and I'll believe you. If you already know everything, why are coming here again?

Oh, I don't know. I don't have any love for AEBN, but I like Gonzo. And even though they are "competitors," and "borrowed" some ideas, at least they are producing something, and advancing the craft. If I were gonna hire someone for advice in the online adult industry, Gonzo is one of the few people I would be willing to pay.

Thanks EJ.
Dont know many people in this biz that can say theyve had a client for 7 years.

Timon doesnt have any use for me. Because I dont know anything about ripping off webmasters and consumers. Nor do I share his enthusiasm for fucking trannys either.

My mind doesnt come up with con games like changing the T&Cs so you dont have to pay out webmasters for the traffic or putting consumers on the merrygoround of charges so they have to try all 100+ sites before they can cancel the agreement.

Good thing too the FTC seems to have agreed with me on that.

So I wont be having to move to a 3rd world country and worry about getting washed away by a tsunami in order to live like royalty on 30K a year.
Its sad when a millionaire at the age of 23 that invented vapor BBS software to make all that money has spent all his money that he cant afford a newspaper so he has to come
to Oprano to make bullshit anon boasts.

So very sad.

[softball]

Timon is a tranny? Is Angelic a tranny as well? I didn't know any of this.

This also ties into another thread. There's something about the shows, actually meeting the people behind the keyboards, to give you a sense of "who" they are.

I knew you from the boards, but didn't really get a sense of you, until we were at a few shows. Same goes for Danny, and Toby. And, of course, the Far-L and Moff, et all......really great people that took us under their wing, literally, at our first show. I'll never forget Far-L giving an interview to a hot aussie reporter as he was shooting getting a blow job from one of the girls. (That was at their studio, but around the same time.)

Met some other great people too. Dan, Sammy, and Bret, and many of the crew from amateurmasters. Sad, that spread to the winds. I know you tried to save it. Too bad they wouldn't let you.

[softball]

Who tried to save AM, Emp?

[Merdroreneemn]

hey. not sure if this is the right section

[gonzo]

I tried to buy it a number of times from Dan first and then Brett.

I did not know that. This is remarkable and a very valuable message. But hey, is this the right section?

[DannyCox]

Farrell and I also tried to buy it off Dan, but he went with Brett instead.

[softball]

Its a shame that board was tanked.

[DannyCox]

Actually, I should have said that we tried to buy it off of Rick and he went with Dan instead.

It's a bitch getting old

[softball]

I heard the story from Rob in Thailand...just after an elephant walked into the bar. Dan wanted to buy it to ban a certain person...I just can't remember who that was.

[gonzo]

They wanted what they paid Rick for it.
The amusing part is somehow it ended back up on the open market last year.

I was approached to buy after its current owner tried to get me to help them run it. I made another firm and even more drastically reduced offer but they wanted me to pay enough for it to set them up in the teeshirt printing business.

Hope that worked out for them because we looked at buying their paysite prior to it and it looked like they werent any better at running that than a board.

I was pissed when it was admitted to Anton that the talent that was on the main site and who frequented several of these boards had long been gone and and the dude was just posing to squeeze the last dollar out of the biz.

As I recall the teeshirts Nick ordered from them were somewhat halfassed as well.

[DannyCox]

There have been four different "Deb's" now. The original, then the first blonde, then the last brunette, and now the new blonde. Gets confusing for long time surfers

I see you know who Im talking about as well

[softball]

I think its always been the same couple. The original Deb backed off the site for some reason, to run the t shirt business I think. Then they brought in another deep throat girl. They tried to make a go of AM but they got it when webmaster boards were tanking everywhere and it never really did anything. I guess now its gone again.

Dude told Anton she was long gone.

Yes, indeed.

[softball]

interesting. The original was a bit of an emotional wreck.

[DannyCox]

The "Original Deb" is the one that tried to get AM going again. She did retire from being in front of the camera to concentrate on the merchandise business, and as far as I know, they still have the store going in Mohawk, New York. They found the second "Deb" and brought her in to do a bunch of shoots. But from what I understand, she wasn't happy with the money, so she left. They then brought in the Brunette Deb who only lasted a few months, and now they have the fourth one. But I think she may just be bought content and isn't exclusively "Deb".

But a number of people have done the same thing. misti4u.com went through 3 Misti's (the first was an original YNOT member back in the day). Even Dan & lisa brought in another couple to be "Beth & Aaron".

Kai, a Florida webmaster from back in the day, used to flip out girls so fast, you could never keep up!

We are, after all, in the entertainment biz. There has been a few James Bonds.
