      Ya people wonder why I got an attitude...
      I hope KB gets as angry as I have about the way things work in this business.
      There is no consequence in taking advantage of people and stepping on them, its only profitable. Every successful man in this biz has stepped on and utilised people to get to the top taking advantage of someone at various points to become successful.

      Adult is for people that think out of the box, people that do not like structure about them and capitalists in everyway by any means possible.
      Even if it takes stabbing a loyal friend in the back for the buck...

      Its pretty sickenning.

        Especially if the information is so inflammatory it's going to chap your ass

        I mean- is this something that you consider to be so covert that you are writing for AVN Online for free?

        Come on Jonathon if we were talking about banging hookers at a tradeshow I can understand not wanting to have that information posted publically-

        But this- get real man- It's so fucking dumb
        amazing that you havent apologized.

        i dont know either of you guys but based on what ive read you breached jstyles trust on a conversation that was private and not intened for public knowledge.

        whats funny is youre a smart guy and have been in this biz for quite sometime and your defense it "its not a big deal?" like you dont know why styles would be pissed off or AVN for that matter?

        A person under the guise of writing a column for a magazine whose sole purpose is to promote their product and the magazine endorsing it isnt exactly information that anyone would would public for the obvious reasons

        credibility or lack therof

          so you apologize?
          BTW Did you tell Jen ( your sister) you were writing for AVN? I haven't told her yet..I know it would kill her.

          Are you going to cal lher and tell her now that the cat is out of the bag?

          Just wondering.

            i once masturbated in a movie theatre bathroom


            and i got caught



            and the guy tried to lead me to the lord, who had delivered him from his lust and chronic masturbation



            i was in the navy at the time



            then i went and watched a bruce willis movie that had a hot chick showing her naked ass




            then i had to masturbate again

              The point is, that's the way his statement made it appear WHICH WAS NOT THE CASE

              In my conversation with AVN it was expressed that "WE CANNOT" have this appear as an "advitorial" ... to which we AGREED!

              My intention was to NOT write about any of my companies, products or services AT ALL ... only about aspects of the content business we all felt were suitable and information that would be valuable to the readers.

                Jonesy while I respect your opinion- I 'll have to ask you to bear in mind there are some personal issues at hand here that not many people would be priviledged enough to know about-

                Take my word for this-
                Also Jonathon calls me and tells me 100 things in a phone conversation that you'd think would be everyday fodder- but with J Styles his life is more important than everyone elses I see...

                  you may be nuts alien but i do like ya cause i understand your motives and what your about.

                  injustice is your opponent.

                  most here dont understand you because in your cause to fight injustice you create insanity and not clarity in your posts.

                  take the time to think before you post.

                  youll find that to be more beneficial to your cause.

                            Jonesy I am only here to make a buck now.
                            Nuttin else.
                            I do not need friends I do not want them.
                            People in short scare me I been betrayed to much.

                            Someone wants a kick ass converting tour they can pay me.
                            Someone wants print ad's they can pay me.
                            Someone wants some information that might help there business they can pay me.
                            Someone wants CONTENT shot in HD they can pay me.
                            Someone wants video edited, they can pay me.
                            Someone wants referrals they can pay me.

                            I take the time with very few people in this business as friends but ya can always trust I am watching my back at all times. Its kinda sad to love someone knowing they potentially wield a knife with my name on it...

                                This not YOU being REAL ... lt's just rediculous.

                                Props for the professional button pushing job you're doing though.

                                You reeled me in very well!

                                  You'll find out the answer to that question when you need a kidney real fast.
                                  I am learning more and more everyday that there are a lot fewer people out there willing to donate, that's all.

                                    i cant say i feel or have felt the same - ive dealt with that twice but they fade in comparison to the supportive ones.

                                    everyone has em and moves forward

                                    its sad alienq that you go through life like that, you gotta ask yourself "why do people fuck me over?"

                                      It's not all that bitter.

                                      I got a loving wife an awesome Cat, a decent home and phone that never stops ringing;)

                                      But I tell ya I put on a "Batman" outfit and serve my own justice from time to time. But I think ya know this.

                                                  I really should just keep my mouth shut but what the hay, Aly asked for opinions

                                                  The original question was - Does AVN have a credibility issue?
                                                  The answer is simple, yes, and it's been that way since I came on the scene in 97

                                                  Can it be changed?
                                                  I think a lot of us would tend to think only if they blow up the old orifice, bulldoze it away to start fresh.
                                                  Aly, I admire your attempts at remodeling and I REALLY admire them for hiring you to try and change things, but all I see are bandaids being placed trying to cover broken bones. Until the powers that be realize AVN doesn't have a focused product, gameplan OR audience and take tremendous action in that arena, I don't see any phoenix rising from the ashes.

                                                  Go undercover and ask around on a number of boards what AVN stands for, and what its purpose is. I think you'll see a wide variety of answers - some may be shocking. When it comes to business, imho its important to focus on one thing and do it well. Trying to be a little bit of everything waters down quality on all fronts.

                                                  I'll give a quick example of common webmaster perceptions - a group of us were in Vegas for the shows in January 2 years ago. There was a bet of $5k put forward by one in the group saying he could predict 80% or more of the award winners before they were announced. Guess how many of us took him up on the bet .. none. Were his predictions correct .. of course.

                                                  Lee said its just business .. Lee there are good ways of doing business and there are not so good ways. It all comes down to a few simple things. Define what your product IS, define your target audiences' wants/needs, and define how you can present your product in good light to them so it'll attract more end-users.

                                                  As for the show in Miami, advertise on ceilings, floors, windows, napkins, spritz bottles, columns, elevators, escalators, restrooms (inside AND outside!) and even on toilet paper! Cmon now, when is enough dollar bleeding considered deadly?

                                                  If AVN wants to be known for Greed, then by all means they've succeeded and I offer cudos. If not, there is a serious battle to fight.

                                                  Sorry if this comes off as harsh but I tend to call em as I see em.
                                                  Aly, you know I luv ya and I wish you luck on this uphill endevour .. your tenacity will be your greatest tool at trying to fix things ;)

                                                    I have never been able to decide who is the more foolish: AVN for ruining their credibility over their "awards" program or those who pander to AVN to win what all but newbies have to know are empty accolades. When I see someone boasting an AVN award, it's right up there with "win a Ferrari" in terms of putting my scepticism into high gear.

                                                      theres a fine line between "news" and article marketing.

                                                      news can in fact itself be marketing.

When I see someone boasting an AVN award, it's right up there with "win a Ferrari" in terms of putting my scepticism into high gear.
                                                          I remember back when I put my first site up, I got an email telling me I'd won an award for quality - in the top 50 adult sites on the web no less!! For everyone to know how good my site was all I had to do was place the 'award' gif on my page with a link to the awarding site.
                                                          I thought .. wow .. i'm goooood!! ROFLMAO
                                                          Two days later a veteran webmaster had a look at my site and informed me I'd just created a traffic leak and it was costing me money. He told me to go look at my server stats to see numbers leaving via the link and how many came in via thier link.

                                                          Needless to say he burst my bubble very quickly, I wasn't as talented as I thought I was LMAO

                                                          awards mean nothing if you have to pay for the trophy

                                                            A). They have me on their mailing list as KB from TripleX Cash
                                                            I haven't worked for them in almost three years...this tells me their information is old and outdated.

                                                            B). They fired my sister in law with NO CAUSE and still owe her a GRIP.
                                                            Never gave her an accounting of her commissions and fighting a woman who is expecting to give birth in a couple of months

                                                            The owner Paul Fishbein told me in an email exactly 1 year ago that she was like a sister to him and this was like a divorce - and that she'd get very penny owed to her

                                                            THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED.

                                                            My sister in law has been very upset by their actions, and that causes my entire family to be upset as well. When you fuck with my family- you have a major problem with me. PERIOD.

                                                            If AVN is such a powerhouse and has made a gazillion dollars over the last 9 years than the right thing to do is for them to PAY HER- not fight with her

                                                            After all, she helped the owners of AVN to millionaires. Now all she is getting is aggravation.

                                                            AVN needs to pay up to look good in my eyes- they breached an agreement and now are playing games. I have absolutely nothing to gain by posting this information only have something to lose...but obviously I have come to the realization that AVN does NOT put money in my pocket-
                                                            WEBMASTERS DO

                                                            The same webmasters that come to this board, the Phoenix Forum , The AWE shows, the Webmaster Access shows, and the Cybernet Expo-

                                                            Sure Internext is a great time and an excuse to come see many webmasters- but I see enough of them at the Players Ball- which by the way will always be at the same time as their show - and will NEVER AGAIN BE AFFILIATED WITH AVN.

Avn--its just biz..No 1 in this biz is a saint--maybe except Aly..She might be the most humble person in this biz..As far as AVN I just think everyone is jealous of them cause they were the smartest and started there biz first. Opinions are like assholes and everyone has them

                                                                  3.This Biz-- peoples come to this board and complain about one another--the lawsuits that go against one another--all the money they make--all the toys they have--the trips they take--the pics of there houses---the pics of there cars....

                                                                  If I was the GOVT, and am already against porn, and can't stand how people profit from it--they come to as board and see how people act---its probably part of the reason all those ftc lawsuits came out...

                                                                  I just have always the thought the smartest and the richest people are probably the people who keep there mouths closed and handle there biz 1 on 1.

                                                                  Everything comes down to greed and the competition that everyone has to see who is going to die with the most toys....

He's created nothing, he's done nothing in his life. Everything he has, he's cyphered off of other people. He's made a living off of other people originality and hard work. JStyles has never had an original thought.

                                                                      JStyles is a 4 foot 10 inch sack of beans

WTF? Is it anybody's business on this board what I tell you in a fucking private conversation?

There are 20 topics i can rattle off the top of my head regarding different points of interest that I think will help BOTH webmasters and the guys in the video business and add value to both magazines.

                                                                              These won't be advatorial pieces for ContentBlowout.com or TheContentStore.com, but I'm sure they'll get exposure from writing articles month after month. Just got to keep my name out there consistantly!

                                                                                  Anthony , I respect you and your opinion so I'll break it down for you in an easier way to comprehend.

                                                                                  In that conversation in which J Styles told me 10 different things he had going on, which content producers he had just met with , how many volumes of titles he had collected, who he was calling next and how much money he was making etc...

                                                                                  One little caveat was that he would be writing a column for AVN and AVN Online as a platform to promote his own company. I skoffed at it, but it was a trivial part of the conversation. I laughed because my dear friend Houston was a columnist as well and she phoned in her article to Heidi every month ( she didn't want or need to extra publicity that much) I too had been asked by Farley to write a column for AVN- only after they saw how well I wrote an article for XBIZ. I told him they'd have to pay me a lot of money to do it- That was the end of the conversation.

                                                                                  Funny thing is all the time D was in good graces with AVN- sitting at the owners' table for the awards shows, and receiving referrals from them - do you think they gave a fuck about me?

                                                                                  NO.

                                                                                  Did they want to give me articles and coverage?
                                                                                  NO.
                                                                                  I was the "asshole" brother to them. The irony here is that when I brokered the sale of YNOT- AVN was the first company I approached about buying it. I recall Darren Roberts and Paul saying " Why do we need it? why do we need webmasters?"

                                                                                  I wonder how different the attitudes would be from webmasters now if they would have decided to get more engratiated with the webmaster community by acquiring YNOT back in 2000.

                                                                                  I believe in my opinion their business model is to "take, take, take"- and not give, give, give
