    ATTN: I am no longer with Phatservers, please welcome...

    Yes, it's true. After five years of slinging servers I have decided that it's time for something new. No drama, no bull shit. I will be starting something new very shortly, you will hear about it soon.

    For the past two weeks I have been training my replacement, Bridgette. Some of you have already had the pleasure of working with her. She is all caught up to where she needs to be and will be able to service all of your Phatservers sales needs. You can reach her at [email protected] or [email protected] .

    Thanks to everybody at Phatservers for five years of madness, LOL. It's been a lot of fun and a great learning experience. Moose introduced me to my newfound love of sushi! Weee!

    I will still be around for the weekend wrapping up some tasks, so if you guys need anything just let me know. It's been great working with you all. :-)

    Please give a nice welcome to Bridgette. :-)

                      Wow, I fully expected this thread to be a joke. You have done a lot to promote the Phatservers name, and you leave some mighty big shoes to fill. Well, okay, maybe not shoes, but you know what I mean.

                      Congrats on whatever your new venture brings. Speaking from experience, it is easy to get used to working for someone, but once you strike out on your own the world is your oyster.

                                    When working with EGC you always helped us out ... and supplied Chris with more Swishers than he should ever need. : )

                                    Thanks for your hard work, you'll be missed at PS.

                                      this is what happens when you pay your hosting sales guy peanuts.....

                                      especially when he's widely known in adult as that particular companies "main dude"

                                      he jumps ship on you....& takes all those fucking contacts & customers with him to another host

                                      unless the host had the intelligence to get a non-disclosure/non-compete agreement signed

                                      but its not like SLY is going from phatservers to running his own hobby shop....i think we all know he's going to one of these new hosting companies (ok maybe he'll work on another project for 6 months...but we all know he'll be back doing hosting)

                                      anyways best of luck to you sly....i know these other guys can afford to pay you 10x more...ya know....what your worth...cuz you fucking rock

                                        Hmmm... I do appreciate your faith in me, but this post is out of line. Phatservers has been nothing but good to me.

                                        I'm not ripping anyone off. Nobody ripped me off. I don't operate like that.

                                          Personally, I'd doubt he'd go to another hosting company. After five years of working on one project, sometimes a new challenge is just wanted.

                                          I know one reason I started in the VOD side was because I was sick of selling content and wanted a new challenge.

                                            so, does this mean I have to hit up Bridgette for some ICQ lovin'? or will you s5till be around for that, big guy? ;-)

                                            I have much love for the whole crew over at Phatservers...but for some reason have never met this Bridgette person...does she like sushi? Is she as much fun to hang out with as you at shows?

                                            My fondest Sly/Phatservers memory: Denny's in Phoenix a couple years ago...we had joked about taking a couple fake pics of us kicking your ass and posting them on GFY to get a rise out of the GFY crowd...hahaha
                                            That was the night after sushi at Ka with that extremely hot server...your first sushi, I think?

                                                First off, it's *RA*. Second, that was indeed my first sushi. Third, I was a little too drunk to remember the sushi. Fourth, I was definitely too drunk to remember the server, but I do remember the rest of you talking about her nonstop, LOL.

                                                        actually i was just upset to see you leave

                                                        i wish they had tempted you with enough $ to stay

                                                          I know one reason I started in the VOD side was because I was sick of selling content and wanted a new challenge.
                                                          Thats like saying I went from selling SUV's this summer to selling Hybrids....because i needed a new challenge.

                                                          I'm sure part of it was you wanted a new challenge....but at least 1% of it had to be the much larger profit margin in VOD & sales opportunity....while typical small-scale content production is dying out.

                                                          But i will agree VOD had to be a challenge....new technology is always a challenge.
