26. What's the relationship with Bangwang?


Back when I first started and was doing the whole circle jerks thing I was using a shared webserver with a number of other people from a local dialup who all hosted their home pages on the same server. Bangwang (Richard) was also hosted there. After I started getting my circle jerk sites going in just a month maybe I started pushing some good traffic. So much that I took down my providers server. They called me and told me they had to kick me off. I was so bummed because I had just built up a nice circle of traffic and was making some money. They told me that there was another guy in town that had just done the same thing to them a few weeks earlier. I was shocked to know there was another guy doing the circle jerk game in town. I mean there was only maybe 100 in the world at the time. So I told them to give that guy my number. So one day this guy Bangwang calls me up. We start talking and comparing and I found out he had been at this at least a few months before me and knew alot more then I did. He helped me get setup on dedicated server so I could run my traffic again. I then told him how I had this content and he was "NO WAY, you can't do that" so he invited me to his house and I took a drive over there one day. I pulled up to his house and almost didnt go in. I was a little freaked out by some guy that just met me on the phone and invited me over.. lol So I go knock on the door and this 3 year old kid answers and tells me to come in.. lol I was ok walked in and waited for Richard. Then finally comes out this long hair bearded man. I was like oh shit. Look at this weirdo.. haha (richard has since cut his hair) lol

Anyways Bangwang had this bench setup with multiple computers on it and we smoked cigs and drank pepsis all day and he helped me get setup on some real content. And the only thing I remember that you could buy back then was ZMaster which I think Lee Noga was selling. He also hooked up on FTP and how to use it and some search and replace scrips and some other easy stuff like that. He really did a lot to help me get going and to point me in the right direction. He had some really big free sites of his own and was also a part of Pornholio.

Bangwang taught me a lot and told me that the more people I knew the better and he introduced me to some really key people in the biz including Rick from Ynot and Lars. Although Rick would never let me become a member because all my sites had popups

So when the time came that I felt I really needed more help at Silvercash and I needed someone that knew everything I knew to help take some work load off of me I thought of Bangwang. I learned a lot from him and I totally trusted him. Shit I was getting triffic from ynots link list and you werent suppose to have an exit console. But I did and Richard saw it and he went into YNOT and had me removed. I was shocked because he was my bud but he turned me in. LoL..I learned a good lesson and I also learned he was very hosest. So I ended bringing him in to Silvercash and he knows everything I know if not more and has been a HUGE help.

Props to my man and V.P. Bangwang!!!
