50 Squealers!

markham is a fucking moron, and to top it off he's a lying cunt as well. He knows how to shoot (I assume, I have less than zero knowledge in that area) and that's it. Literally every word he has rambled on a message board that didn't have directly to do with shooting is either fantasy, cluelessness, or an out and out lie.

When people like 12clicks, JT, and that calibre post, you stfu and listen because they know their shit inside out.

When I post, you bear in mind I've never made 7 figures in a single year.

When markham posts, you dismiss any 'knowledge' he tries to portray, and understand it's 100% opinion, and 99% made-up fantasy stats/numbers along with what amounts to nothing more than pathetic whining in order to get others to agree with him so he feels less of a failure. The man is poison to anyone learning this biz, and that's a measure of who he is - he'd delibarately mislead and misguide newbies in order to make himself feel better.

Kudos to The Squealer in that idiot thread, and hmm, reggiedurango may not be the fake nick of who I thought it was after all.

Who did you think I was a fake nick of? I'm not! Lol

:Oh crap

lol, well I'll hold my hands up to that - good catch :1orglaugh

The analogy i used was basically like trying to deal with writers. They'll tell you how they earn $2.00 a word and are published in huge publications to create the impression that they are high paid and worth a lot and then neglect to mention that it only happened once and will never... ever happen again. Like someone that won at a casino, they conveniently forget about the massive losses... and talk about the win day and night.

I strongly suspect that he bullshitted his way into a few big content orders at the peak of the market, got ahead a little, leased an office, bought a car etc.. but that moment was both the start and end of his business as he just sold content here and there through his site and sloiwly coasted to a site, ending it all with his bargain content site and then ultimately trynig to license to tubes... then shutting it all down. He almost immediately started to launch adult sites (paulmarkhamteens.com) after he got online and tgps for trafic generation etc etc etc because he couldn't make much with content by selling it. Even though he was talking on forums like he was posting from his private island.

:helpme :helpme :helpme

Sorry to repeat but Squealer, have you seen my mini documentary on Paul??

I dont think so.

So is Paul also Mr. Durango or not? And any cliff notes on who Squealer is?

Cliff notes on Squealer: he buys traffic and sends it to dating offers, and he tells (writes) stories pretty well. He speaks Russian.

And, as to your first question, YES, I am Paul Markham, and he is me, we are one and the same.

Explains everything. :anon

When did you learn to write a post less then eight paragraphs long Paul/Reggie? :)

Touche..

You know, come to think of it, Paul DID contact me once via ICQ asking me who The Squealor was, if I knew what he did in the Industry, etc.

Hmmm......

That was a great read. Not often do you find a thread on gfy actually worth reading. I like your mindset also. You sound like a true hustler.

10/10 would read again

Not only am I Paul, but I am also simultaneously, and paradoxically, Eva!


Wait, aren't you BM bradley?
..or is that someone else?
Is this the subtle hint you've left to reveal that you are indeed both blackmonsters and brassmonkey and have been the whole time?

This is why towards the end of that village idiot thread, i was feeling a little weird about him and his replies. It seemed like he genuinely didn't recall anything. He's stubborn and insane... so it wasn't clear what was him just trying to deny, thinking nothing could be proven or whether or not he actually had some sort of issue recalling past events.. like maybe a stroke or series of mini strokes or some other issue affecting memory. It's easy to say "he could have simply asked Eva" but then again, if you are 100% sure an event never happened because you can't recall any aspect of it whatsoever, then you likely wouldn't ask.

I mean, he was asking around about who i was when i described everything in detail... even the interior of his own house... yet he apparently couldn't put it all together as if foreigners fly in from Russia all the time to talk biz, he shows them his operation, takes them on a photo shoot (a shoot which he fully recalled) and then he invites them to his home for dinner... and can't remember even one detail about them.

But with this thread, i started thinking about it again. Why was he having Eva and another assistant shoot most of his content in the last couple years of shooting? Particularly in a business that for him was in obvious, sharp decline and where he truly believed himself to be a genius and true artist and other Playboy/Penthouse photogs to be hacks.

I wonder now if something actually did happen like a stroke or series of stokes. His eyesight might have been failing him, he might have had tremors in his hands, different types of memory failing him etc. Thinking about it all, that makes a great deal more sense than anything he's said.

Well, you're likely not his brother because though Paul clearly thought he was the brains of the operation (as scary as that sounds) his brother was just cheap labor in his studio. Anyone i know that's dealt with his brother has characterized him as a complete prick. I on;y saw him fumbling around as cheap labor trying to build a tgp.

Finally, truth in Advertsing:1orglaugh:thumbsup

12Clicks? - All he knows is how to fuck over surfers and is a big part of the reason the affiliate model is failing - Not the only part, but a big part...

The guy is scum.....

Quoted for truth

The biggest reason the affiliate model is failing is that affiliates are now (and have been for some time), largely irrelevant.

Yeah, the truth I was quoting was more about 12clicks being scum.

No shit.

P.S.
one of the best threads in quite some time.

Hopefully it will keep going and Squealer has oh so much more to share!

Why did you make documentary about Markham? Were you being serious? How did that happen? Was that what those youtube videos were where one showed the blond model was visibly uncomfortable and creeped out by him?

hahahaha, GFY piss ants blaming their betters for their failures. :1orglaugh

Interesting story, how it happened, sparked by the one of the most legendary threads in gfy history!:
https://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-pr...porn-days.html

At the time, Paul hadn't shot in a couple years. He got throat cancer and had been bedridden. Fabian of Manwin came into the thread. Eventually he asked what it would take to get Paul back and shoot a scene for Manwin. Everyone was saying there was no way in a million years this shoot would happen. Things like "Paul would never shoot for Manwin" as he was their sworn enemy, "deal with the devil" - etc."Paul will take the money and run, lol" yada yada etc.

But as the thread progressed in became clear that this shoot was actually going to happen! Someone asked Paul to make sure he got good behind the scenes footage, I think as a joke, but it made me think about shooting this as a mini documentary. Kind of crazy-sounding, I know, but I was planning a trip to Europe anyway, and I suppose my 'filmmaker' instinct kicked in, and I was like, I gotta go to Brno and shoot this!
In retrospect, I'm very glad I did it, and look back fondly on the experience!
Would still love to turn it into a longer documentary piece someday by getting Fabian and DamianJ's interviews, but that probably won't happen.

But enough for now about the why's and how's of the documentary, let's get to the documentary itself!:

Part 1:


Part 2:



Watch it with an open-mind, if you would. I edited it objectively: didn't try to make Paul a hero or a villain, just showed what it was really like to be with him for the few days before, during, and after the shoot.

I watched it with an open....bowl. The only way to do it dude, sorry.

</////////////////>~~~~

I mean, thank you. :)

Pro tip: Sync it up with Dark Side Of The Moon for a real trip.

:rasta

I shall have to try that!

The elusive Squeeler, who art thou! More hints and more stories from back in the day! Serge, Australian porn mafia, Oprano, hahahahahahaha, Luke Ford, Sextracker and spyware...

Someone needs to chronicle all that, and that someone should be you;-)

Dude! You're alive! I still laugh all the time about Tom Jones walked up to us asking, if I was ok, after seeing how shitfaced we were. What a surreal moment to be on the other side of the planet and he, of all people, is hovering over us, concerned and telling us to slow down. If that wasn't a wake up call, nothing was.

It's interesting that you did that for sure and actually pretty cool. He seems to be very subdued in those videos like he was at shows... but I imagine that by that point, he'd had quite a few life changing moments in addition to the physical and emotional toll it took on him. I wouldn't wish any of that on anyone, no matter who they were.

OK that beats most of my rock and roll stories. LOL Wow. :)

And hey, now that Paul is back you two can continue your interesting interactions. :thumbsup

Fred's kind of a private guy as well, so I'm not going to go into much detail ... but I used to make trips to his country to hang out with him and talk biz. We drank. A lot.

Anyway, we made it into the most popular club in town by arguing with the bouncers until they gave up. They felt we were too intoxicated but we were getting exceedingly good at handling that scenario. God only knows what either of us said. I vaguely remember him trying to get me to speak Russian and threaten them - I may have been making fake phone calls in Russian while pointing at him menacingly but I can't remember much as so many of those nights kind of run together in my memories. Anyway , the bar was on the second floor and we made our way up the stairs somehow and there was a couch at the top - where I just fell into and couldn't get up.

We're laying on this couch not sure how we are going to make it to the beer or how to get the beer to come to us. A dude walks up and says in perfect English "you doing alright friend" I said something and he said something and left. I look at my buddy and said "ok, fuck it,... I'm done drinking - now I'm hallucinating and it's not even a great hallucination"... He asks what I was talking about and I replied "I just imagined that Tom Jones walked up to me and asked me if I was doing ok and seemed kinda concerned"... He responds "oh, shit. Tom Jone! I was trying to remember his name".. I remember a moment of being puzzled and likely said something as I puzzled through how he was seeing my hallucination and then it occurred to me... I crawled up to my feet and wandered into the bar and walked up to him. I don't remember exactly what was said but he greeted me and asked if I was doing ok and I said something kinda shitty (which always plays out as being funny as hell in my mind first) like "I just needed to come in here and make sure that was real. Mostly because I'd like to think bat if I was hallucinating, that I could do better" he laughed, was cool and I stumbled away.

Haha, strange days indeed! Now my Friday nights are more about watching Frozen with the kids for the 10th time;-)

'Let it go...'

I think those Friday nights are much more rewarding. I need to get over your way.

Holy shit what a story!?! In what country was this?

Haha! Good times with Tom Jones!!

See people? TheSquealor was VIP even then. :)

Yes, Squealer, please tell us all about those folks!

PS. Which hahahahahaha is that Fred? You have to spell his name phonetically !

I can talk to you in private, but I am not going to talk about people and friends who made it a point to stay off the boards and have kept their lives off the board, for the most part.

I would say this,... which is something that anyone who has been around for a while knows. When it comes to money made and webmasters, there has been far more money made by people no one has ever heard about or heard of, than money made by those who are well known. It's always been like that.

Sad but true.

But the Australian Porn Mafia!?! Can you at least give us a hint on that one?

Was AdultKing involved?
:1orglaugh

Wouldn't that make him Don King?

No, but a dingo did eat his baby.

Most people are clueless when it comes to real wealth and power. Most of us live 'down here' amongst real humans. But people who earn millions live a different reality. They are the nobodies who pass us by on the street and/or the people we never see because their windows are tinted and they fly private jets around. These people don't want to go to shows or hangout with 'us', and if they do they certainly don't want JFK taking a picture of them.

But that's cool. They are the job creators remember. :1orglaugh

That could be a nice topic in general. There are number of people who do not go to shows for that reason, they do not want to end on the internet.

interesting

you racist?
