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?

100 racists!

Fun Bump!

Nah, you pretty much wear the hood, I mean hat, as resident racist.

lol...there is no such thing as the Australian Porn Mafia!!!

Sorry...been denying that for 8 yrs ;)

Carry on Squealer...aka "the man who knew too much"

;-))

Oh...btw...worked out who you are m8 :) (Yes, finally) lol

Cams
Martial arts
Speak Russian.

I get there in the end, ;)

:2 cents::2 cents: :thumbsup:thumbsup

which is why public opinion on the boards usually counts jack shit

as perfectly demonstrated by who deals with Mindgeek - or not.

interdasting

haha. :)
At least you caught me before i made cryptic remarks about the location of your home and its interior :)
How have you been?

It was more the Queensland Porn Mafia, most of the guys were up north.

What a thread, TheSquealer, you have my sympathy 95% [5% deducted for 'no dogs']! :pimp

Good mate ,you?
It was driving me a tad crazy trying to work out who it was. And you know , its not a long drive ;)
Hit me on Skype sometime.

What were they doing that earned them that nickname?

I first heard the term around 1995 when it seemed that there was a concentration of webmasters around Brisbane and the Gold Coast. There was also a strong censorship push by the Government which culminated in the year 2000 with the banning of hosting adult websites within Australia.

Then issues like the torture of a couple of guys by Scott Phillips helped fuel that in popular culture/media. Scott ran PinkBits.com at the time. People in web porn from the mid 1990s will remember that site.

please.. join date of 2007 and supposedly in the biz before that, and never heard of the oz porn mafia? something smells super fishy in this thread and I don't just mean brassmonkeys cock...

Greg Lasrado bought me my first hookers:(

chill out bro - no conspiracies, nothing fishy, just hadn't heard of this.

and again to reiterate..... ;-))

""""Nick: "There's no such thing."""""

;-)))

Had dinner with one of the alleged members a few mths ago. Fit well happy and still successful :)

Hmm I think I am also "XXX" lol in the bit on the phone , could not tell if it was "Nick" or not lol
