Good luck on everything going forward. You have always been one of the guys I admired in this business so it is good to see you are going to be sticking around.

Kane, you were one of my oldtime submitters, webmasters like you built my site...

Good luck. End of an era, or end of the end of that era

Thank you Johny, always a pleasure doing business with you ...

Enjoy the break, but know, it will be short lived....you have been hammering out updates and submissions for so long, the mind will only begin to think of other ways to keep the hands busy! On to the next great thing.


Much RESPECT to one of the BEST! I am truly happy for your decision, and like wise, thankful for all you have done.

Thanks Mark, you'll be the first to know (well maybe the second) if i take on any new ventures..

[adultmobile]

Congrats, I'm one of those who had account in old times but as silent user

Remember circa 2003 some multi tgp submitter softwares... I registered in GFY at that time to hire a guy to help submitting the galls. Vaguely remember me and those guys doing hosted galls to promote our sites of the time (russian girls using Nokia phones as a dildos, silly project), and the Shemp was in top of list with thehun's, was list rank by traffic or worth to submit, quite forgot the whole process, last submit must have been in 2004.

Congrats!

thank you, we always had a great variety of good picture galleries on there.

I remember first hearing the name Shemp on one of Doc's radio shows, probably right around 2000-2001... listened and took notes on how to make money with TGPs.

fast forward a decade... Sleazy sold, Shemp sold. certainly the end of an era.

Best of luck with everything.

[DK]

A true pioneer.
I have never submitted to Shemp but always admired you as a peer.

Best of luck to all you do from here out.
Turn the page ...

[Orgasmics]

Congratulations!

Truly the end of an era... somewhat bittersweet. I thoroughly enjoyed the years I had the privilege of working for... and with you. The career highlight of my life.

Let me know when you want to work on something new. ;)

[GonZo]

Congradulations to the winners!

Nigga Pleeeease

Shit right? Can you then tell me, why they lost so much traffic please?

Lol, those sites are one big mess made of links and text ..and that has been like that for ages. I forgot another one, Elephantlist.com .. I dont wonder these sites started losing surfers, as the layout and content is horrible, clicking through 150 links to get some galls with shitty 4x15 sec videos or pictures, well being a horny surfer my choice would be obvious.

What exactly changed at Library of thumbs? That they have tube links now? The colors and the text are the same. Oh come on.. This is not 2003.

Those at MadThumbs got it early, the owner of XNXX got it early, those at Sunporno.com got it early (well not that early) .. shame that some guys simply wont get it


I wanna cry when I see pinkworld.com ..

[Wagerboy]

wow congrats...Used to submit to you back in the late 90's if I recall. Great traffic, thanks for the listings. Those were good times, TGP submits. Best of luck with the future.

[Dead]

You know the industry is screwed when Shemp goes for the long thread gift off GFY...
just saying

[Tofu]

Shemp, you are a damn legend in this racket. Fuck the haters.

Congrats to you, my man.

Do the Bartman!

Thanks bro, i think the secret is not to get involved in USA political threads...

[tony286]

My first webmaster dinner was thrown by Shemp. It seemed like yesterday, god time goes by so fast. Best of luck to you.

It was definitely a pleasure

One of the greatest TGPs ever! Congrats to you Shemp, may this door closing open many more for you. And Sleazy too!

We finally got our groove on in mainstream, and life is good. Still running on much inspiration from the greatness we have learned from here in adult. The quiet school of numbers has worked pretty good. Gotta scale! xoxoxo

the hun is going to be the last one standing. shemp is a nice guy but the tube sites caused tgp sites to go out of business. people like shemp, sleazy dream, thehun never evolved and their traffic slipped away everyday. shemp just decided to sell it while it still had some value, on the course it was going i bet it wouldn't be worth much in the next couple years. however the new owners probably will make it into a tube site and make it profitable again. i never understood why all of these tgp sites never did that, but to the contrary they did nothing and died a slow death.

Congratulations on the sale Rob!
Tho we've never met I've loed Shemp.com since it began in '98.

PS - I would love to discuss some ways you might be able to help PeabodyCash get to the next level what with all this "free time" on your hands (and we all know, nuthin' ain't free).
