Well it looks like this thread is dying... SO, I'd like to hear some feedback if anyone has any... who should get the free server and bandwidth for two months?

Yeah man I'm listening to everyone in here... I just wish more people would have thrown their towel in the ring... it would be easier to get a consensus if there was more activity in here.
In any event, I'll pick someone tonight after reviewing all the stuff in the thread again.
Ciao

I thought it was a good idea for a competition. Lets face facts the majority of competitions these days are run so that someone can indirectly profit. Personnally though [MistaT] should be the winner...Gary wont be able to particpate as no-one stopped the boys gang raping him!!!
I re-read through everything and here's what I thought of each person that threw themselves in...
HOAX - I wish you luck because you didn't win... Based on your post you still have 6 months left of income to live and work on... that's not a great situation but also not entirely dire. Buckle down... that's a lot of time to figure something brilliant out... or even just work hard at something not-so-brilliant because those things can make money too.
SPACEDOG - Well, he was here in spirit. But, the ghost of Spacedog past just didn't have enough to say.
DODO - Well... it sounds like you have written some cool code. Now that you've built your field of dreams it's time to be creative and figure out how to spin that into a little gold. Since most of the people here don't have a pot to piss in, you didn't even come close. Besides which, anyone that's ever been down and out realizes that with programming skills you could be working.
MARZZO - I am sorry that your health is in question, I know that must be stressful and also depressing. I appreciate that you have big huge doctor bills that will need to be paid. However, it does sound like you still have an income and will be able to get by. In my former life I managed a medical practice - my advice is to call the creditors early and setup extended terms and a payment plan. As a rule of thumb, that's their best option. If you need some advice getting out of the bills or making sure they don't affect your credit I invite you to call me. Just grab the toll free number off my site. Good luck man!
SRIKANTH79 - Well, it's obvious you're green.... and that's okay, everyone has to start somewhere. You really didn't give us any story to go on, you simply expressed that you want free hosting. I have the impression you don't have any money... definitely a challenge. Here's my advice - if you troll boards and talk to hosting companies perhaps you can take a different approach. Since you're new everybody knows you don't know anything. That's why nobody would ever bite on a revenue share - you have no history of creating any. However, perhaps you could exchange 'work' for hosting - something tedious like gallery creation and submission.. Ask some hosts, the worst they can do is say no. Otherwise, keep your day job and setup an account with Cologroup - they've got hosting for 50 cents a gig. If you can't afford a hundred bucks this may not be for you.
HONEYSLUT - Well darling, if you ever want to trade some content of yourself for hosting... just let me know!
AND THE WINNER IS:
MistaT
...and no, he's not a relative! lol
Here's exactly why he's my choice:
1) He just got laid off. Corporate america in this day and age is taking surprise shits on all kinds of loyal and hard-working employees. I'm sure he didn't work for an Enron or Worldcomm but he might as well have.
2) They fucked him on his severance. Getting fucked on your exit pay hurts your pride and also affords no reasonable cushion so you can continue to support yourself or your family. Unemployment? Well, assuming he qualifies... we all know that's about DICK.
3) He purchased Adult Submitter in spite of his circumstances. He believes in his abilities. He's obviously ready to work at his new goal.
4) He purchased content from ZipContent in spite of his circumstances. Most fuckers steal content and here this guy is using his last money to buy some legit content. I think that's worth some applause.
5) He's obviously got integrity... the content and program could have been stolen easily.
6) This guy has a plan and it's obvious he's going to work it. He has the tools and it sounds like he has the ability to figure out how to make some moola with it.
So a hearty congratulations from me... I'll be contacting you on ICQ shortly to discuss getting you set up this week. You would be wise to start planning and preparing! It would be a teriffic story if having this bandwidth was able to give you a kickstart... hopefully it will be the beginning of something that can continue to provide income long past these two months.
Since he plans on doing TGPs.... does the audience here have suggestions as to which sponsors or web sites he should promote? We all know sales are harder with TGP traffic but perhaps he could use some honest advice from you guys - maybe he can even sign up under you if you give a link code. Pr0 had some ideas about posting movies to TGPs... maybe he has some more suggestions!
Sorry Gary... although you were quite entertaining I had to give it to the poorest of people in the worst of circumstances... although, you did add a special 'something' to this thread.
Oh wait.. here's something you can do:

Someone get this man some free movie clips! Then we need to get you hooked up with a list of movieposts.
And then of course we need to get you hooked up with some sponsors to sell to those freeloading movie clip fuckers.
Oxcash has some good movie site's from what i've seen. And Bangbus sells like gold (even though a little overexposed). Also theres chicktrick...and a couple others.
You should get in contact with those guys asap. Ask them for some movie clips. Build a couple galleries & post them to the movie posts.
Then of course, build some galleries & try your damn hardest to get listed.
Dedication is all it takes bro......dedication & lots of time.
Use movie based sponsors, as in they have clips of their films as free content which are also featured on the tours for their sites:
Nasty Dollars
OxCash
Soul Cash
I think movie based sites are converting ten times better now, especially if you can have a clip on your page of a girl getting fucked then when they click the link it goes to a tour featuring that girls...
Hit the movie posts and the hun..also richards realm has a kick arse movie listing section in their now...
Go to VidsVidsVids.com use his top referrers lists to find the other big sites. Create one movie based page then with his top referrers list start working down the list three sites at a time duplicating the page..oh fuck you said you had bought Adultsubmitter!!! hehe well fuck that just use that!
That should start to eat away at the bandwidth!!
P.S. I would recommend my flicks as well www.trafficcrew.com but fuck it I am not as big as those sponsors plus I do not have as many to give away (4 as opposed to 100 plus!!)
MistaT -- Congrats ... get with va2k on building converting galleries. He should be able to show you samples or give you some hints. Also as suggested above oxcash oxcash oxcash use lots of thier videos and burn the bandwidth. This will be a stepping stone to making you real cash.
Gary -- sorry dude but you do still have a leg to stand on
his reply was basically that he didnt have time for it
Wow, this really surprises me. I've always thought of Brad as a "stand up" kinda guy. But, as we all know there are always two sides to any story, so I'd be interested in hearing what Brad has to say about this situation.
Originally posted by pornJester hmm.. interested to see the outcome of this.
I'd Like to see what Brad has to say about this??... This thread is making him out to be a lier??...I always thought Brad was a decent guy??...hummmmmm??????
If I had the log, I'd post it too. Unfortunately, I reformatted my hard drive when I rebuilt my computer not too long ago. You didn't get the server and you know exactly why.
This thread started on "07-08-2002 05:26 PM" and a few days later I announced you the winner. I sent you multiple emails and countless ICQs so we could get you setup. You didn't have the courtesy to even return my messages so we could get you started. I waited several weeks and then ultimately just let it go.
Three months later, or thereabouts, you reappear on my ICQ and ask if you can have the server. You tell me that you went to some other hosting company but now you're broke again or something and could really use the server. My answer after careful comtemplation, NO.
I'm a person of my word, everyone knows that, but I'm also a person of principle. The spirit of this contest was helping someone to get an immediate boost in their business. Re-read the thread. So, on a technicality perhaps I should give you the hosting... but on principle: Go Fuck Yourself. You wasted my time and everyone elses. And now, like a bitch, you're here whining on the board for sympathy.
You won a contest for two months of free hosting and after three months of not having the common courtesy of returning my messages you appear out of the blue asking if you could still have it. I engaged everyone in good faith with all intentions of awarding a server. I did. It seems the winner of the contest was really a loser after all.
If I was going to give away a server right now, I'd rather give it to someone with decency and manners. It's two full months after the award would have been satisfied, quit your whining.
I held the contest in good faith. I made countless attempts to get you going and like an ass you ignored them. Now you're going to bring this to the boards and suggest that I just blew you off? Shame on you.
That's the story of what happened. I'm sure the audience here will be divided on my actions, but that's GFY.
You know... it's like this. I really enjoy being Mr. Nice Guy all the time. However, I have my limits too. I'm always doing charity work and nice things for so many people. What happens? Shit like this.
