I was denied my request to goto the Island Gathering by a vote...
 

And the vote was 5 in favor, 7 against.



I won't forget this!!!!

Dude, just say Phuket... ;-)
Stress is bad.

Yah, it just stung a little bit. Would love to know who the swing voter was.

F*** em

douch, bad luck

Owners will probably go themselves so they can fuck up their rep even more!

You've started threads about not having the money to shoot models or even buy a hoodie. Now you're upset that you were voted out of a show, designed for business owners, that would have cost you thousands of dollars to attend?

what he said...

It is supposed to be CEO's only. No offense but if you just started with your job and you are not a decision maker you just don't fit the profile.

P.S. I'm just relaying knowledge I'm not VIP enough to be asked such questions :-P

How do you know there was a swing voter? Maybe all 12 were very firm nos and yays?

I think you meant deciding vote, which is not the case as well because it is 5-7, not 5-6.

Also even if it was 5-6 why would you want to single out any one of those 6 as a "deciding vote".

Maybe next year, a few months ago Walmart was looking like a possibility for you.

I would worry more about 7 people not wanting your ass around rather than the 2 who kept you out.

Oh AaronM, wondering when you'd get around to your poking me. All those things are correct, and the gathering I was talking about was last fall, and I had enough money to do that then. Why you wanna come down on me? Personal?

This is true man, I never said it wasn't. But now, I've got solid backing, can you say OFFERGRIND.COM

That was my first choice, not my only choice.

You're complaining about an event a year ago ? Don't you have anything better to do? Also who may I ask told you about the break down of the vote #'s ?

it was in an email they sent me brother. yah it still gets my goat a little bit, but hey I understand I was in a completely different mindset back then.

That's how it's sold, but if you see the attendance list...... :1orglaugh

gfy really has simmered down to a luke warm cup of decaf tea.

No disrespect to Jayman but damn a thread like this and some of the others ones j posted recently would be grounds for total crucification on this board a few years ago.. ahh i guess everyone finally grew up ..except for poo.. lol

I'm just saying I was butthurt.


I wasn't a CEO a few years ago? OK.

:2 cents:

Can't post the news other sig whores are doing that. :thumbsup

I posted a single parody thread of the recent posting trends and a boobie buddy tried to give me a prostate exam online.

done been crucified last week.... don't you remember the "I joined Offergrind.com" thread????

I'm not bashing anyone I just think it shuolda been a landslide no votes to go, whats up with 5 ???? lol relax, I only see one dooshbag in here, and he's earned it in more ways than one.

Point taken :thumbsup

You were wondering when I would get around to poking you? I'm coming down on you? Personal what?

Is there a problem between you and I that I should be aware of? Why are you expecting me to poke you?

WTF?

I'm simply pointing out a couple of facts that I found odd. Apparently there's something on your mind though so what is it?

I received an invite on Facebook and saw it had 1.2k invites, I figured it was open to everyone. I didn't really look into it any further.

I don't think anyone even remotely attacked you in that thread; we all felt very bad for you, based on the idiots you were working with.

In this post you write that you assumed it was open for everyone yet in the previous post you wrote you assumed it was ceos only. Which was it? :)

The previous ones I attended was invite only..when I saw this thread I assumed the same. Then fuzebox commented on the attendance list and I remembered the Facebook invite I received several months ago.. at the time I brushed it off due to the massive amount of invites sent out.

To shed some light...

The vote result he received from me. Everyone who gets voted in or out by the "TIG Committee" receives the voting results for their application for their information and for transparence.

Before people ask - The initial "TIG Committee" gets formed by company CEO's and owners who have documented in the recent past that their company is of a certain size (for example the main sponsors of GFY, presenting sponsors of XBIZ, headlining sponsors of The Phoenix Forum, etc.).

They are the initial "TIG Committee". Once they vote a person in, then that person also goes on the "TIG Committee".

When we send out a TIG Newsletter or post "invitations" on Facebook then those are only "invitations" to apply for an entrance pass and you will still have to go through the "TIG Committee" - and might be declined. Those are NOT invitations to the actual event.

As for the participants. I believe we had a very strong group at TIG 2013 Curacao (the event in question) for being a first, startup event.

About TIG 2014 Paket to be honest I was a little bit concerned as Phuket was a terrible location choice from my side. We basically lost all our U.S. clients because of the long flight times.

Nonetheless, during yesterday's presentation round I realized that there were still a couple of tens (hundreds) of millions of dollars of business present in the room. So, enough business to be picked up to make everyone's trip worth while. I have not received any complaints from the people actually present at the event.

As for who can apply for the event: Basically anyone. But if you are not a CEO or company owner of a company of a certain size your chances are high that you will get voted out.

But I am sure that next year at TIG 2015 Bahamas the "quality" of the attendees will be even "higher" as the Bahamas is an easy to get to locations for Europeans and North Americans alike. As we expect some 140-150 applications for TIG 2015 Bahamas for some 75-80 available spots, logically the "quality" of the attendees can only go up.

The application period for TIG 2015 Bahamas is 1. June 2015 until 30. September 2015.

Kindest regards,

if i slip you $50.00, can i bypass the process ...?

Are dreams and aspirations included in the review process?

Holy shit...JayMan comes back & the place becomes a whinefest...
SERIOUSLY??? Some convention from a YEAR ago?
No offense, dude...but, if you're THAT butthurt (your words), you need to get over it.

I dig your interest in astronomy, though!

My Mommy says I'm a very big boy! Cause I can 'Wipe'...




I just choose not too... :(

realy, what's the point of this thread again?

SigViews. :upsidedow :1orglaugh

Sad state of affairs.

Ok, I guess my real complaint wasw it was at a different venue.


Industry top cats, carry on ;) I just wanted to prove to myself that I was clean, sober, and capable of handling myself.

What's wrong with that?

View my bum ;) (notice smiley face)

The BEST Island Gathering was way back in 2001... The Original 1 ;)

Heads - whine like a baby for sig views
Tails - copy/paste 'news' articles for sig views
Coin lands balanced on its edge - post lunatic ramblings about illuminati

Coins lands unbelievable too often on its edge for one certain person :1orglaugh

There's nothing wrong with that. However, some of your recent posts along the out of nowhere and paranoid comments made to me are not very strong indications of a clean and sober person.

Just sayin.

Carry on.... :glugglug

Yo is this really jaYMan because it sounds like MindWaste got ahold of his nick.
