I would have been uncomfortable, had your kids been there.

Some people do not get it. Someone should call CPS one day.

They feel they are entitled to be parents. IMHO to even have a child around where this biz is talked about is not wise. But to take a child to a porn convention, or a dinner where people are in town for a porn convention knowing porn would be discussed is utterly disgusting.

Brad...I fully agree with this. Ian did not bring his kids to a porn convention though. He was asking to bring them to a dinner gathering that was filled with pornogrphers. Still not appropriate but far from bringing them to a convention.

Aaron thanks for getting my back on this one

I am sorry for saying what I said.

Now can I please come to your next party?

Herb Kornfield · 11-25-2003, 06:26 PM

5 star resturatns are not the place for kids, unless they are exceptionally well behaved children and are taught how to act by the parents. Pretty rare for the most part, However.....

The issues that I have with kids in a restruant is that most parents arent watching the kids, they have this idea that children that act badly are funny or cute. If you say anything to these children then the parents get their attitudes out......

I am sure there are parents out there (myself included) that DO watch the kids. When my step daughter got loud and nuts at even McDonalds as a kid, me or her mom would take her immediately out of the place and into the truck. This is out of respect to others space.

Who really wants to hear a 5 year old whine?????......I dont and I know most of you dont.

The issue here is that most parents as a whole need need to wake the fuck up to other peoples personal space and rules such as:

1. Dont bring your kids to dinner for a business meeting, you arent focusing on the business, your getting timmy fries or whatever.

2. Your kids arent cute or funny. You wouldnt think mine are either, hence my getting a babysitter and allowing us to have an ADULT meal.

3. If you cant afford a babysitter why are you eating at somewhere other than home anyway?

Think more of others and their needs than your own. We'd all be in a better place if that was a reality.

Brad...

I've seen children in Vegas. Children brought by their webmaster parents.

I think it's wrong. I don't care if you bring a nanny with you. Vegas is not a place for children.

My own son is going to be twenty. I've invited him and HE'S refused because the drinking age is twenty one and he doesn't want the hassle of trying to get away with it.

Next year will be a different story.

But, young kids and young teenagers? No. Not to dinner nor to conventions.

One thing that is rarely mentioned on the boards is people abusing certain substances. I can understand a little but not to the point that it has you so fucked up that you can not do business or even enjoy other parts of the show. Stay and home if you wanna be a vegetable.

I am not talking about the person who occasionally gets fucked up, I am talking about the idiots who show up drunk/high/or whatever and you never even see them sober.

It's pretty annoying when you have a conversation with somebody and the next day, they don't even recall seeing you. So you have the same conversation again...and guess what? Same story the following day. I don't have time for this shit. I go to these shows to have fun and conduct business, not to waste my time with people who are too stupid to know when they have reached a reasonable limit.

Yes, I got pretty fucked up on Thursday night. The difference is that I still remember what went on, I did not damage anything, and I chose to stay sober once the show started.

The actions and negligence of one specific person at this show has prompted me to cut off all ties with this person from today forward. This is a person that I considered a friend until about 3 days ago. You know who you are so don't be surprised when I do not return your emails, phone calls, or instant messages.

Personally, I am down for starting an industry black list to keep these people away from the shows. Just do not allow them to register, it's that simple. The people who can not act responsibly can make a choice. Grow the fuck up or stay home. Your antics and bullshit are not wanted. Our industry has a bad enough reputation as is.

I would like to thank those of you who attend these events and know how to behave. The majority of the people have a clue but it's amazing how just a few people can fuck things up.

Word.

There was a certain someone I was going to hire, but not now and he is not allowed to attend another webmaster access, there are a couple of others that are going to be blacklisted for damage to the hotel's public areas.

BrettJ · 11-25-2003, 06:30 PM

I don't know what was allegedly said behind backs. and don't think kids should be at our conventions. i'm also not sure why when roger posted something, you took a swing at ian.

but i want to make it clear for all the lurkers reading this thread - - that i was the one that told Ian kids would be fine.

as it was a friendly get together. billboarded as such by aaron.

i expected us to be on decent behaviour since it is a nice restaraunt. and yeh, the conversation did turn to shop talk.

but had there been small children in the room (it was a private room) we all could have modified our vocabularly. Also, since the room and table was soo big, it was hard to hear conversations from anybody sitting more than 2 people away.

I still think it would have been fine to have wives/kids/girlfriends/etc there. I don't know how it is everywhere else but In seattle - people take their families - to even 5 star places. And the places are greatful to have the business.

some of the others just wanted industry people... that's cool ...I can roll with that too.

I hope you all bury this hatchet pretty soon... as it didn't seem like a big deal at the time to any of the parties....

NO BIG DEAL!

Funny thing is I am meeting a biz associate there for dinner tonight. I will ask them if it is an appropriate place for kids or not.

Ian. I think you're a nice guy, from what I know. I've only met you a few times and you've been gracious and very friendly.

It becomes what it becomes, whether or not you were joking.

Actually, when Aaron and I were talking about it, I was the one who said WTF?

and a flat out no.

But, anyone who knows Aaron well, should know he only wants the rep he deserves, not the one he doesn't. So, I can see where he might not laugh at being called a kid hater, jokingly or not.

You are more than invited to any party I'm involved in....leave the kids at home, please.

eroswebmaster · 11-25-2003, 06:43 PM

I don't think the issue is JUST whether or not kids are acceptable at a 5 star resteraunt, or at a private dinner of "ADULT" webmasters....but whether or not people want kids to be there at all.

Some people don't get real vacations and use these conventions big or small as a working vacation...and sometimes that means they get away from their own kids.

If I was one of those I would not want one of my few real nights out with the adults to be hampered by someone who couldn't do something so simple as to find a baby sitter.

This is not a swipe at you Ian...I don't have kids but my nieces have lived with me on and off for 10 years now and 99% of my time now is devoted to their health and happiness whether that is me working or fun time.

I would like to know that if I had taken the time and money to travel to LA that I would have been able to spend my time with only adults.

eroswebmaster · 11-25-2003, 06:46 PM

Now as far as the heavy partying is concerned...lol...there's a few people on this thread who met me last year at the show and still don't remember who I am...I had fun...got a bit tipsy but I remember every damn last one of ya'....oh well...we'll try it again in a bit over a month

BradShaw · 11-25-2003, 06:48 PM

Don't know the beef between you and Pornkings Ian but you know how we are and we don't talk shit behind anybodies back.

the last thing we are is Pussy's at Pornkings.

roger dont fucking flatter yourself. no one here fears you, get off your fucking horse little man. everything i have to say to you im more then willing to say to your fucking face. iv never posted anything bad about you from any other nick but this one. i dont give a fuck if your ass believes that or not, im not here for you.

i talk shit? how about how you talk shit roger? iv heard from more then one source that you have bashed me. i have nothing against you or anyone else at pornkings, untill i heard that you tried to fuck up my business dealing with people that were apparently mutual aquaintances. then it got personal. do you recall when i walked out from working for you because you have your employees chasing thier own tails? you called my next employer (BEFORE i even got home, which is 2 blocks from the office) and tried to fuck that up for me, it started then, and hasnt ceased, if you want to be a shit talking bitch so be it. i dont have a problem tossing shit back to you. i dont fear you, sorry. take you ego and shove right up your ass, right next to your head. and then when i post stuff based on my personal expeirence from working for you, you some how think it has something to do with other people. no it doesnt its all MY opinions. again you can believe that or not. i dont give a rats ass. now tell me again about haters

im 20 and i have a lot to learn. but i think the kind words said about me in this thread will show you and anyone who wants to bring my integrity or anything else about me into question can be judged in this thread alone.

take your ego and get walking, no one needs a fuck head like you around anyways, at least ill bash in you a public forum rather then talking shit to people behind ones back. which you HAVE done.

and since you asked in the other thread, i will be in vegas. want to sit and discuss this? im a man, i can sit down with you and talk it out like an adult? can you? lets have lunch, ill get aaron to take the pics just to prove that you wont show up and deal with it like you actually have a spine. and as far as me not making two cents in this biz. hahaha, fuck you again talking your shit.. hows this... ill buy your ass lunch. with my whole two shiny nickles i might have by then.

dont think your gods gift to this biz little man, because your far from it.

and just to shore the rest of things up, i aint got anythignbad to say about anyone else at pornkings, as carol said, "never had issues" carol knows me, we are good friends and i hold her in HIGH esteem. along with everyone else at PK aside from "Mr. PornKing" who might need to check out for a while and get his little ego in check.

peace, im out, to enjoy my turkey day week of travel and winter sports enjoyment.

Gabriel · 11-25-2003, 07:06 PM

Bottom line is people need to take responsibilty for their actions, and if those actions affect me or those who I'm with in a negative manner, I will not think twice about making my presence known (of course no fighting in front of the kids).

The LA show reaked of party, little biz from the start. Lens is known flor throwing parties for the kids of the biz. It was promoted that way IMHO. That is why did not send a person.

Brad,

I think you got the wrong impression of the LA show, while I must admit that I'm lame now and don't get oblivously drunk I thought the show was very productive from a business standpoint. I thought the seminars were top-notch and very informative, I learned some things about the new Visa regs I didn't have a chance to brush up on yet. In addition I think the overall networking aspect of it was great, reminded me of the old Orlando shows were everyone just kinda hung out and chatted. Had great small dinners both nights with friends and attended both parties, was in bed both nights by 3 so looks like I mised out on the destruction but I can tell you this, if they woke my sober ass up to throw me outta the hotel I wouldn't have been a happy camper. Only ones I saw doing drugs were the celebs in Hollywood on Friday when I went out after the party does that count? Send someone to the next show in Feb to report back for you, was a great show in my opinion and sounds like it for everyone else save for the few idiots.

Why · 11-25-2003, 07:16 PM

that will be my last pass at roger in a public forum, all thats needed to be said at this point from me has been said, unless roger presists. this was not ment to tarnish PK in any way, just something between roger and i that wasnt started by me.

if you really want to talk about it and settle it give me a call. my phone is always on. and the number aint all to hard to get.

I think you made a mistake. Overall the show was good. I was not present when shit was damaged. For the most part I chose to stick with people who are a bit more responsible. I had a great time at the show and you probably would have as well.

coming to the convention I had wished we got a room at the double tree so we could have been more a part of events and after parties before Kayla told me about pot plants being uprooted and bottles being thrown from the top floors.
The first chance I had to meet lensman was right after someone tripped the firealarm and his first words were asking if I had done it.. fucking lovely. I left shortly after and there were police in the foyer.

codymc12 · 11-25-2003, 07:40 PM

Anyone justifying or excusing or 'trying to understand' webmasters that get loaded to the point where they are either an embarrassment, or worse, destructive - is off their rocker.

That it 'happens at all kinds of conventions, even non adult' is irrelevant. Our industry is under far more scrutiny than others, and this just gives them ammunition. I'm waiting for the day some news program brings a hidden cam to a convention and these fucktards find themselves on 60 minutes. Except it won't be about just the fucktards. The fucktards will become ambassadors for all of us. Won't that be a chuckle?

BTW - this is not 'same old same old'. Conventions were NOT always this way. It's gotten progressively worse. I remember one year having a nice quiet time in the National Net suite, and the next year, someone taking a shit in the suite's bidet and causing 1000's of dollars of damage in other ways.

Taking a piss in the lobby?!? Someone should have kicked a field goal with their nads.

If you want to drink, get fucked up and see pussy, don't come to a convention. Go to a strip bar and leave the rest of us to business. You'll save yourself some money on the flight and hotel costs, and save the rest of us from both pitying and despising you.

Just remember what Arnold said in T3:

"That you think you are cool - is irrelevant."
"Your juvenile antics - are irrelevant"
"You ARE a fucktard!"

Wow actually read all this.....

I think this all started once the shows got bigger and they were held in more contained hotels.. so the fuckheads get contained and therefore seem more intense.

There are stories for most of the people I see posting in this thread... Seems pointless to say these un-named people are causing problems etc... just say who it was and then put an end to it... these shows are built on feeding this silly "porn" idealism so its gonna be expected to get these kinds of results.

Hell the whole porn concept is this crazy 'pornographic' lifestyle, these shows and the parties are all built to make each company/affiliate look like they are more intense and more worthy of promotion.

And dull parties rarely stand out... its the ones where the action happens that one will remember.

Hell I have been over the top on many occasions, but so have many of the people posting in this thread. People do it and then hopefully get over it once the porno buzz wears off, if they don't they usually disappear from this biz altogether. So no use discussing it too much since these problems are self cleansing.

People do it and then hopefully get over it once the porno buzz wears off, if they don't they usually disappear from this biz altogether. So no use discussing it too much since these problems are self cleansing.

When the hell did you get so smart?

We had someone do that to a bidet about 10 yrs ago. Wonder if they ever invented one that shoots a cold jet of water for a split second via an electric eye if you don't press a safety switch...

Some people don't get real vacations and use these conventions big or small as a working vacation...and sometimes that means they get away from their own kids. If I was one of those I would not want one of my few real nights out with the adults to be hampered by someone who couldn't do something so simple as to find a baby sitter. This is not a swipe at you Ian...I don't have kids but my nieces have lived with me on and off for 10 years now and 99% of my time now is devoted to their health and happiness whether that is me working or fun time. I would like to know that if I had taken the time and money to travel to LA that I would have been able to spend my time with only adults. __________________ For rent - ICQ 127-027-910 Click here for more details

Herb Kornfield Is on the 1 Industry Role: Join Date: Sep 2002 Location: Philly Burbs Posts: 4,996	5 star resturatns are not the place for kids, unless they are exceptionally well behaved children and are taught how to act by the parents. Pretty rare for the most part, However..... The issues that I have with kids in a restruant is that most parents arent watching the kids, they have this idea that children that act badly are funny or cute. If you say anything to these children then the parents get their attitudes out...... I am sure there are parents out there (myself included) that DO watch the kids. When my step daughter got loud and nuts at even McDonalds as a kid, me or her mom would take her immediately out of the place and into the truck. This is out of respect to others space. Who really wants to hear a 5 year old whine?????......I dont and I know most of you dont. The issue here is that most parents as a whole need need to wake the fuck up to other peoples personal space and rules such as: 1. Dont bring your kids to dinner for a business meeting, you arent focusing on the business, your getting timmy fries or whatever. 2. Your kids arent cute or funny. You wouldnt think mine are either, hence my getting a babysitter and allowing us to have an ADULT meal. 3. If you cant afford a babysitter why are you eating at somewhere other than home anyway? Think more of others and their needs than your own. We'd all be in a better place if that was a reality.

BrettJ ol' timer Industry Role: Join Date: Jan 2001 Location: Seattle WA Posts: 4,715	I don't know what was allegedly said behind backs. and don't think kids should be at our conventions. i'm also not sure why when roger posted something, you took a swing at ian. but i want to make it clear for all the lurkers reading this thread - - that i was the one that told Ian kids would be fine. as it was a friendly get together. billboarded as such by aaron. i expected us to be on decent behaviour since it is a nice restaraunt. and yeh, the conversation did turn to shop talk. but had there been small children in the room (it was a private room) we all could have modified our vocabularly. Also, since the room and table was soo big, it was hard to hear conversations from anybody sitting more than 2 people away. I still think it would have been fine to have wives/kids/girlfriends/etc there. I don't know how it is everywhere else but In seattle - people take their families - to even 5 star places. And the places are greatful to have the business. some of the others just wanted industry people... that's cool ...I can roll with that too. I hope you all bury this hatchet pretty soon... as it didn't seem like a big deal at the time to any of the parties....

bhutocracy Not making A Comeback Industry Role: Join Date: Dec 2001 Posts: 10,218	coming to the convention I had wished we got a room at the double tree so we could have been more a part of events and after parties before Kayla told me about pot plants being uprooted and bottles being thrown from the top floors. The first chance I had to meet lensman was right after someone tripped the firealarm and his first words were asking if I had done it.. fucking lovely. I left shortly after and there were police in the foyer. I like a few drinks and whatnot but you've got to be able to maintain your dignity.

Aaron, send me your new blacklist. My new venue for this Players Ball is way too nice to fuck up. Who's the destroyer? Email me, can't be having that in my party. I hope it's not someone I really like. I wish I didn't have to go to Vegas over the weekend, would have loved to see more people. __________________ Still Ballin'

codymc12 Confirmed User Join Date: May 2003 Posts: 719	Anyone justifying or excusing or 'trying to understand' webmasters that get loaded to the point where they are either an embarrassment, or worse, destructive - is off their rocker. That it 'happens at all kinds of conventions, even non adult' is irrelevant. Our industry is under far more scrutiny than others, and this just gives them ammunition. I'm waiting for the day some news program brings a hidden cam to a convention and these fucktards find themselves on 60 minutes. Except it won't be about just the fucktards. The fucktards will become ambassadors for all of us. Won't that be a chuckle? BTW - this is not 'same old same old'. Conventions were NOT always this way. It's gotten progressively worse. I remember one year having a nice quiet time in the National Net suite, and the next year, someone taking a shit in the suite's bidet and causing 1000's of dollars of damage in other ways. Taking a piss in the lobby?!? Someone should have kicked a field goal with their nads. If you want to drink, get fucked up and see pussy, don't come to a convention. Go to a strip bar and leave the rest of us to business. You'll save yourself some money on the flight and hotel costs, and save the rest of us from both pitying and despising you. Just remember what Arnold said in T3: "That you think you are cool - is irrelevant." "Your juvenile antics - are irrelevant" "You ARE a fucktard!"

bauhaus Confirmed User Join Date: May 2001 Location: Costa Rica Posts: 773	Wow actually read all this..... I think this all started once the shows got bigger and they were held in more contained hotels.. so the fuckheads get contained and therefore seem more intense. There are stories for most of the people I see posting in this thread... Seems pointless to say these un-named people are causing problems etc... just say who it was and then put an end to it... these shows are built on feeding this silly "porn" idealism so its gonna be expected to get these kinds of results. Hell the whole porn concept is this crazy 'pornographic' lifestyle, these shows and the parties are all built to make each company/affiliate look like they are more intense and more worthy of promotion. And dull parties rarely stand out... its the ones where the action happens that one will remember. Hell I have been over the top on many occasions, but so have many of the people posting in this thread.
