Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
I've been around, but always avoided the GFY world for a while, don't know why.
Don't get me wrong, I've creep'd with nonstop intrigue (for 5 years at least).
Been around for a while, in fact on a number of other affiliate/webmaster/seo/business type forums.
Judge me not by my post count, but by my many usernames.
But like the OP explains, I'm still a newb in the eyes of the GFY'ers
I'm super old-school. Hell, I registered here over 12 years ago now but for some reason never posted much. I've run tons of successful sites over the years and have had a blast. Sucks things aren't like they used to be anymore (and probably never will be again) but I'm hoping I can hang on a few more years.
It was longer than I thought...about 4 years. I guess we were really tearing it up for about 2 of those though. I think in the end Mobbucks dissolved more because of the strong personalities in the company than anything else. All chiefs and no indians, you know?
I love my brother (Mike Vega) but if I ever have to work with him again on a daily basis, i'll kill myself. I am sure he feels the same way
We had just opened maybe a week or so before (our first site) and because of his thread, we had so many affiliates sign up, and went from about 2 sales a day to over 50 a day and rapidly growing in about 2 weeks time.
it is safe to say that he who has been here longer and has little posts has really been working and enjoying the benefits of working and not trolling
I can copy that!
Maybe some of us low posters have a similar story-
I started 13 years ago right before Crescent blew up and I knew it was the right industry for me. Not an old timer though. in 2k, i'm probably the 3rd wave in.
Quick funny story.
One of the first guys i talked to, must have been 2000-early 1, was Amar who was then at Sublime.
Guys like quiet and Steve Sweet and Real Butts ( Nasty Dollars ) just ruled Sublime. So i bought some spots and the return was awesome. So i called to find out why their traffic was so good. And Amar said, listen, we have home grown traffic, everyone else jerks you around but not us. Our traffic is homegrown.
And i was like, oh yeah homegrown traffic.. but really thinking WTF is homegrown traffic?? He schooled me fast.
And i remember hanging up calling someone at the time saying, oh hey.. we need more homegrown traffic, let me tell you about it...
The discovery process back then was amazing. You saw something and just did it. i saw the sweetloads plug-in page in bustyamateur's library one day and the next day i was in Cybererotica's.
Fun times from a "little" poster
It's fun to remember... but the old days are just that. Old. These days are where it's at.
I've been in this business, as an independent, since the mid-1990's. My nick has never changed on any board I have registered. I registered here in 2005, although I lurked a little when GFY was still in its infancy and through the first few years that it was growing.
I'm just not one to hang around on boards, thus my relatively small post count after all these years. I probably have less than 2000 posts on all boards combined in the last 18 years.
I just come here for any biz, and then get back to work and enjoy real life
2002: Worked at LikeWhoa! doing server sales ... Met a lot of cool people then: Al4A, PrivateShaun, $tandaMan, Sync, theFLY and chatted with tons of others over time.
Post Whoa!: IT consultant to mainstream firms deploying systems/managed services/Telecom globally.. Provides my family a very comfy life, a few homes, cars/trucks and guitar collection of my dreams.
Learning the technology side behind the game has been the greatest thing to take away for me. It has provided well and also allowed me to work from home for 12 years
