Wow, super big and good news! Congrats on reaching this point in your life and career Eric. I have only had contact with you remotely but was always impressed with both your professionalism and flexibility. I know you will but I want to say enjoy life. I think it is great that you will still be here at GFY :thumbsup

Eric!!! It's crazy to be reading this after so long. Change is good!

Reena!!! Yay!

So long, Farewell, Au fidersen, Goodbyeeee....... well ok not really , but just had to say it:upsidedow

Best of luck Eric, not that you'll need it !!! :thumbsup

"Au fidersen" :1orglaugh

it's "Auf Wiedersehen" :winkwink:

Who is this Eric Matis guy? Isn't he Juicy's lover or something? :winkwink:

Congrats on the move, hopefully it was planned and will be good for you personally. Impressive tenure, especially in the porn biz working for someone else.

Eric, I am looking forward to hearing about all of your new ventures. Good luck!!

you know soon as I posted it I said to my self , thats misspelled, but by that time it was too late , oh well:1orglaugh

the question is can you say the same well wishes to Eric in Hungarian?

just bustin' your balls broheim :)

All the best to you Eric!! SHINE ON BROTHA

WOW! Lot of big moves goin on this year

See you in Vegas next month Eric and we'll catch up.

good luck Eric

Best wishes for continued success in your future endeavors... Its always nice to see good people continue to do well and evolve with the industry.

It has been great working with you for the last couple years and of course moving forward your assistance on GFY and WMA are going to be invaluable. I have doing business with you for 8 years and expect that to continue for another 20 years.

I was really hoping though that this meant the Ass-Slapping was going away. It is pretty unfair that you have a medical condition which allows you receive an Ass-Slap without feeling pain in your Keister, when the rest of us have to endure your return Ass-Slaps with regular Nerve Endings.

Looking forward to the next Chapter and getting you back out to Chicago for the Twelve Bars of XMas Bar Crawl this year. No Excuses.

Good luck on the new ventures

Along with Jill, I am still in denial. It won't be the same without you here. First Joe, now you. Who is going to tease me all the time? Who is going to throw my turtle at me every time he walks by? Who is going to make fun of my religious beliefs? Who is going to buy my kids' candy and other random team and school fundraiser crap? UGH!!! Are you sure you have thought this thru? Maybe you want to change your mind? I mean aren't you going to miss seeing the top of my head when you walk by my cube? :(

*tear*

I am pretty surprised to hear this but all good things must come to an end. I wish you all of the best and I'm sure we will see new, innovative, and exciting things from you in the future since you plan on staying near the adult industry. I am sure that Playboy will continue to produce some of the world's most high quality porn as well! Best of luck!

Best of luck to you Man!

Making fun of my Bubble Buttitis is not cool Derek! :321GFY :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Eric, best of luck! See you in Amsterdam!

now that's a challenge:helpme:1orglaugh

Not if we see you in Dallas this summer first my man!

Congrats on a long and illustrious career with Playboy and good luck with future endeavors!

Wow, good luck in future endeavors and all that jazz! Looks like Playboy knows what's good for it by keeping you on to manage the zoo and the advertisers :)

Congrats Eric, its always been a pleasuring dealing with you

Good stuff .. calculated move I'm sure :thumbsup

For the record imo Eric is to GFY what Hef is to PB ... in case any of the suits think they've got the mojo to pull off what E has done around here :2 cents:

all the best to you!

Thank God you are still working with GFY... it would be gone in less than 6 months without you... haha :winkwink:

Congrats to moving on I know you're going to kick ass, you rocked all those sites, and I know it won't be the same after you leave... :pimp

Best wishes and glad you'll still be around. :)

Always thought you did a bang up job :thumbsup

..could have had him anyday, only let him go, out of kindness I suppose.. :)

Edit: no matter how many times I rewrite the above line, it still comes off gay lol :)

you know what i am saying, this board is full of Panchos :)

Historical. Or Hysterical?

I haven't read the entire thread so it may have been posted. Who is going to be the head moderator now?

I know I will see you! And I know whatever you do you will be successful! We have been friends for so long and I look forward to more good times with you! Oh and I still don't want to spin your belt buckle LMAO

Maybe you should try to read the OP

For the ALLIANCE!


DUEL!!!!

I did and it said "will retain my services on a consultant basis to help manage and maintain GFY"...which I took to mean that you would be a consultant...not in charge.

All the best...

DJ

I cried last night thinking about this announcement then I opened up a pic of Eric and rubbed 2 out

Whatever you'll be doing it'll rock, like always. Excited to watch your next move, bud :)

I will miss you Eric.
