I can't be too rough on you, Mike, because I like Katie. If you had enough taste to select her, you can't be all bad.:thumbsup
How about some more travel pictures. You would surely get some points for sharing your *other* life with us. Confucy here. |

That was pretty much it,in my case Back in the day... All I did was post on YNOT that I was offered an exclusive traffic contract from Xpics. I then received coaching from FM (many phonecalls) and The General on numerous subjects concerning this biz. They made me rich. Of course I then took the VERY expensive and extensive post graduate course offered by Scottpb and Serge. ;-) |

As I have said till I am blue in the face: I have no doubt R-n made a prudent business decision. Hell, knowing R-n, he probably walked with some stiock. My issue is the hypocracy of R-n who has always held himself out to be the creater, the Grand PoohBah of the industry, the Playa of all Playas, is NONE of the above. He is just a normal guy who does what is in HIS best interest, even if that means sacrificing everyone else. I would have done the same thing. Nick, we KNOW you would have done the same thing. Difference is, neither one of us hold ourselves out as the Godfather of the Industry like R-n does. That is all.... nothing more, nothing less. |

We still take tons of photos, I will get some online soon. We are heading back to New Orleans tommorow, then next week will be out in Santa Monica for 2 weeks. |
Mike, don't expect too much sunshine at the beach in Santa Monica. We are having cool overcast muggy days. Right now there is a breeze blowing, and a hazy sky. Los Angeles is dry and fires are popping up in the outer areas. I'll see if I can put together some sunshine for you so you can get some good beach shots.
You might want to stay and take the Calif Bar Exam. I'm sure FM can always use a good attorney!:) |
Confucy, I am heading out there for work.
We have been shooting a few new series for PureCash.. We have a very ambitious shooting schedule for those 2 weeks. We may take a quick trip up to SacTo for the weekend to visit the in-laws, maybe hit Tahoe. |

Yes and when you started in 1996 you either had a Fast Cash account or a Clickcash account. That's how you funded yourself into this, on our money, that's just a simple fact. Why should I retire, I still make more money than you in a given month even though I'm only a just an old boxer :) City Soap had nothing to do with us not delivering, we had the site up and running with an affiliate program and the apartment wired and hot. Admit it, you didn't care about the $100k of equipment I put in, or my programmers time, you just pulled the plug. I'm glad you did, I wouldn't wantto be your partner. Talk to my employees, shows how much you know about the way our business runs, I hardly talk to my techs and programmers, they're all self motivated. Just more of your lies. Talk about having no skill at pissing, in case you haven't noticed, you're not doing too well here :) roflmao You keep personally attacking me for my age and my health, what's wrong with you? |

Mike, The best thing I ever did was become evil :) No one has any expectations :) :thumbsup It is so freeing being the bad guy :) Oh and Mike..... SAying FM is an aging boxer is a poor analagy....

I have guests in from out of town for the party and yesterday we recovered from the party and then spent the night in Hollywood. Today we've been chillin in the pool, playing volleyball, looking at footage from the party. I've been posting in between all this. Tonite we're going to Universal City Walk for dinner and another good time. So don't worry about me, I have a real life away from the Internet and enjoy my life every day to the fullest. Anyone who knows me, knows I always give them the advice to do the same, live each day like it's your last, as I do, everyday!! Let's get it right about the ex-wife, I hate her, she wants to be friends, that will never happen. I believe in the saying 'first time, shame on them second time, shame on you. Keep spinning your lies about sh-t you know nothing about. Sounds like you've made a study of my life thru you're sick eyes. Mike, you seem to have even copid my lifestyle down to cars, you have an SL55 also along with a collection of other cars, like me, but I did that first too :) LOL You're obviously the bitter person you try to make out of me, it's so clear, everybody reading this can see it. That's how unintelligent you are, you don't even know when you're exposing yourself. You keep beating me up about my age and how I'm a has been, why are you following all things that I've done and try to do them yourself? Yes, I might be as old as your Dad, but you're still a major loser and that will never change. |

Mike I keep seeing you post this garb about industry leader, I have never uttered those words, so they're either your words or someone elses, get off this rhetoric already.
___________________________________ Hmmm well I must have confused you with someone else... I am going to retort to each point, so Darren does not think I am ducking anything. Yes and when you started in 1996 you either had a Fast Cash account or a Clickcash account. That's how you funded yourself into this, on our money, that's just a simple fact. ______________________________________ I am sure you have the exact numbers somewhere on a DB, but I did not make much money from your early. I was getting checks fed exed to me by Al. This is what helped me boot strap myself. I give you props R-n, I always have that you were a founder of the industry. Too bad many of your contributions have brought us to the situation we find ourselves. ( VISA going to 1%) Why should I retire, I still make more money than you in a given month even though I'm only a just an old boxer ________________________________ R-n, I have no idea what you make, and I know you have no idea what I make. We both of a lot of other interests outside adult. City Soap had nothing to do with us not delivering, we had the site up and running with an affiliate program and the apartment wired and hot. Admit it, you didn't care about the $100k of equipment I put in, or my programmers time, you just pulled the plug. I'm glad you did, I wouldn't wantto be your partner. ____________________________ You put in 100k in equipment which you got back. Your employees were great... I love them all. I however put out over $350k in CASH on CitySoap. It is all documented, I can send it over to you if you wish. That is why I pulled the plug, because the faily operating expenses were being funded with MY checkbook. Talk to my employees, shows how much you know about the way our business runs, I hardly talk to my techs and programmers, they're all self motivated. Just more of your lies. Talk about having no skill at pissing, in case you haven't noticed, you're not doing too well here roflmao ___________________________ They are self motivated, and great workers. But none take the iniative on anything major until they hear from you. Its your management style, its ok. I just think you would do better giving them more slack.... You keep personally attacking me for my age and my health, what's wrong with you? _____________________________________ HEHE :winkwink: Yeah I know I shoul be more respectful to my elders. |

Who in this industry can prove Ron Levi to be a liar and a man who has not lived up to his word? Why do you think people in the industry like SleazyDream say "Ok Ron, thats good enough for me." when he sais "I don't own any of the stock.". Some of you guys are worse than political mud slingers I swear. Quote:
Where the fuck have you been? You think FM is a "Normal Guy" in this industry?? And sure he helps himself -- by helping other people. If you are doing a deal with him, obviously you have something to gain from it.. and obviously you thought the deal was good enough to accept it in the first place. Why would he give money away for free? It's business. By all means, if you are loaning/giving out money for free.... please let us know - times are hard ya know, we could all use a little extra :glugglug |

Oh, you missed the Two Fiddy part of the post! |

There you go again with this Godfather sh-t, I've never uttered those words from my lips, so they must be yours :) |
GoBigTime.... Please re-read my posts.
I guess I am getting old as well. I was pretty sure that R-n has held himself out as an industry leader, yadda yadda yadda... But if you look above, he says that he does not do that... So I guess my arguement is moot. But if you watch that great flash file, you may see how I could be misled into thinking R-n had a R-n complex. |
Well I'm leaving for City Walk now, because I don't have a life according to MikeAI.
Post what you will. I'll answer when I return from having no life :) |

Mike I got no stock from Acacia, why do you insist on spreading these lies after I've already told you that earlier in this thread, grabbing at straws? The only Grand Poobah here is you roflmao
_______________________________ R-n I was saying that you are a smooth enough negotiater, I would not put it past you. It was a compliment. I cannpt be a Grand PooBah, I don't have the hat for it! There you go again with this Godfather sh-t, I've never uttered those words from my lips, so they must be yours _______________________________ Again, this must be my mistake. I am getting old as well.... I always thought you held yourself out as the creator, savier, player, etc... of the industry. I guess R-n is just a regular Joe.... |
Quote:
The flash file is nothing short of HILLARIOUS. Btw, does BradShaw have mangled lobster hands or is it just because "Shaw" rhymes with "claw"... either way, "brad" pounding on the keyboard and fumbling for the phones is the funniest part of that video... well that and scourge and the "Mmmmm goats." lol man. If anyone hasn't watched it... you're missing out. I don't even know what half of this nonsense is all about, but I've read about the brad stuff & everyone knows serge :) |
Well I'm leaving for City Walk now, because I don't have a life according to MikeAI.
Post what you will. I'll answer when I return from having no life __________________________________ R-n now you are taking my arguements.... You were happy to slam me unopposed this afternoon.... I will give you the respect, and will continue the piss later in the week. Have fun old man.... :winkwink: |

Who is Acacia?
Thank you, Juicycock |

I love it. When it first came out I had everyone I know watch it. Even my mom and granny loved it!! The only thing that sucked was spending the 30 minutes explaining it to friends and family who are not in the biz!! Anytime I am in a bad mood, I watch it and it always cheers me up!! I still call Sharky Shrimpy..... :winkwink: |

OKay Folks, here is where vintage MikeAI now softens up after pitching all the hate and poison - nice touch, ey?
____________________________ R-n, not hate. Hate is a strong word. I do not think I hate anyone actually. I just think you are an egotistical, self centered bafoon. I think some of your business practices harm the industry. That is all.... What you see as "hate and poison" I see as proving the King has no clothes. Life is to short for "hate and poison"..... |
Quote:
For better or worse, the entire industry has adopted billing tactics that have brought on the Visa crack down. While CE may have contributed or spearheaded certain billing practices, it wasn't like they could force the entire industry to do the same. Thousands of webmasters did the same --- willingly. |
Mike please tell Opti on O p r a n o that I never owned Agecheck. It's funny how there are all these stories out there about me with no foundation whatsoever. Makes me feel important, now I'm really leaving
_____________________________________________ R-n, get going.... at your age, every minute is precious! |
TheTrog, you are very right. CE and R-n did not cause this single handedly. Hoever, they did help contribute to it.
Babenet is another... I am sure we could make a pretty decent size list.... But just because a person/company is not 100% responsible, does not mean the should not be called out on it. Ask Mike from SilverCash, I call it like I see it. Nothing more, nothing less. I get frustrated when I see people who put this industry at risk with their actions. I am happy doing what I do, and do not want this industry to collpase upon itself. I have always spoke up on issues like this, and have always said that WE as an industry are our own worst enemy. R-n, babenet and otehrs have done more damage to the long term viability of this industry then the Federal Gov't ever could dream about. |
Quote:
Sure. CECash is now sharing a % of their gross with Acacia, and i guess you could argue that those funds are being used to take on the IMPA. But at the same time, CECash is supporting the IMPA, which is more than can be said for you guys. Hypocrites. Sure, Ron, TNC and CECash might very well be helping themselves by helping out the IMPA, but they're also helping the rest of us by doing so. You guys are fucking sad. Flogging a dead horse. |
Quote:
Just a note though: IMHO, your arguments would carry more weight if you would stick with the issues/facts rather than hurling personal insults. I'm no fan of CE, but you've almost got me siding with Ron here with the name calling. |

hello

FM and Brad...
For two professional owners of long standing and respected programs you are both acting like children. Maybe its time to stop the slagging and get on with your own biz ? Im sure you both have better things to do with your time than check these boards for the latest gossip... Saying that, my own servers are down right now following a hack so whatever your doing on your own servers to keep them up then let me in on the secret.. but then, at least the server probs have given me the time to read this EPIC thread... You both appear to have personal issues with each other - Is it not best kept personal ? Slagging each other off on these boards isnt the answer Im sure - for all it is entertaining for the rest of us... |
