And the truth shall set you free?
Here is the truth:
Aaron started shooting content before he was even 18 years old. His ex-wife and he started up a bbs before the WWW was even around. Aaron was a beta tester for Mustang Software's "Wildcat 5" platform and has a very extensive knowledge of what was considered to be cutting edge adult online entertainment back then.
In late 1996 he and his wife divorced and she totally trashed their business. Busted computers, burnt model releases, you name it and she fucked it up.
Aaron immediately started shooting new content to start a pay site and was selling sets to local webmasters to help fund his shooting expenses. He was using mostly strippers from Portland area titty bars as his models. The pay site never really took off because his now ex-wife destroyed his credit and he was not able to obtain another merchant account to collect the funds.
He began working for Wells Fargo and stayed there for almost 4 years while he learned networking and earned his MCSE. Aaron continued shooting part time and selling to the local guys to make a few bucks.
In 2000 he partnered up with a guy and started a website design, hosting, and networking company. That partner ended up being a flake and the business died. Because Aaron did not like seeing the hosting clients they had getting screwed over, he again sought a business partner and the 2 of them created Atomic Web Works and transferred all of the old clients over to the new company. He did not have to do this but since he is a man of his word he wanted to take care of his customers.
Atomic Web Works was making no real money and Aaron was tired of getting screwed by employers who always screamed about wanting employee dedication but that were not dedicated to their employees in return. He turned to a friend and content client of his, Buzz B Berkley, and asked his advice on selling his content to a larger market. Buzz fully supported the idea and Aaron and Buzz attended the Portland AWE event in August of 2001 to see if the idea would fly.
The amount of motivation that Aaron received from that show drove him to spend countless hours at his computer trying to build a website and establish himself as a fair businessman. His site launched sometime in September or October of 2001 and he has not looked back since. He contributes most of his success to the relationships he has built right here on GFY and he continually promotes this board to everybody he meets.
Now a couple of days ago, Eric from Adult.com asked Aaron to help him pull a joke on Snow by messaging Snow on ICQ and telling him that the guys at Adult.com had pulled him into a call to ask if Snow should be banned. Aaron was to convince Snow that he was overruled and the ban was put in place. Snow did not fall for it so Aaron took the next step and posted a thread calling Lensman a cock and a few other things. Lensman then gets pissed off and bans Aaron. All this because he was trying to help you guys play a joke on somebody and make it convincing that he was standing up for the other person.
I tell you this history so that you have your facts straight. Aaron in not a 6 month old newbie and he is a man of his word as he showed you in Las Vegas when he followed through with the prior agreement to photograph his ass.
Personally, I do not care if he stays banned forever. Perhaps this way he will stop wearing those damn GOFUCKYOURSELF.com clothes.
