Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal Office. Need Feedback

Montreal, hands-down.

**LadyMischief** · 08-05-2004, 06:59 PM

Toronto

**hershie** · 08-05-2004, 07:14 PM

All three cities have a large adult community and a thriving nucleus of tech savvy webmasters too. I imagine by sheer numbers, Toronto will give you the largest pool to draw from, and for salary and cost of living considerations, Montreal will be the most economical in salary terms. If you have to commute back/forth, Vancouver is 4 hours further away from you than Toronto. But Vancouver is the best city hands down for quality of life and was just ranked by Mercer as the $3 city in the world to reside.

I was raised in Montreal, lived 6 years in Toronto and now 7 years in Vancouver, so am familiar with all 3.

i find french women alot more open sexually, so depends what you want to do there.

**johnny1** · 08-05-2004, 07:17 PM

Montreal!!

**Easton** · 08-05-2004, 07:19 PM

citywise, montreal is a toilet but i still miss it at times

i'd say MTL has a nice choice for whatever adult needs you have, but also consider the french language barrier thing...

**Varius** · 08-05-2004, 07:21 PM

Montreal has higher taxes....however I'm sure all other costs are cheaper than both Vancouver and Toronto (rent, salaries, etc...)

**BRISK** · 08-05-2004, 07:25 PM

Vancouver

**Shap** · 08-05-2004, 07:27 PM

Thanks for the feedback so far everyone

It is much appreciated. The office would simply be a place of business. Wouldn't be any modeling or anything going on there. So for that we should be ok.

Hey Easton where are you living now?

Thanks for the reply hershie. We have our head guy living in Vancouver. Trying to decide whether we open there or open somewhere closer to us where we could fly in and see what's happening (not to mention we've got family both in montreal and toronto).

**Theo** · 08-05-2004, 07:28 PM

where do platinumbucks and slickcash are located? There

**Steen2** · 08-05-2004, 07:28 PM

I think most would agree Vancouver is the best for life quality, but I really don't know about your needs. I would guess if all you care about is good employees, Toronto may be best due to the large population.

**Theo** · 08-05-2004, 07:29 PM

shap, im gonna spam your icq soon to tell me how's life in Bahamas.

**Sly_RJ** · 08-05-2004, 07:30 PM

There are quite a few other companies already based out of TO. May want to talk to them.

Nice move Easton. What got you to move there?

Anytime Soul. Here are a few pics

I think most of them were taken when it was cloudy so they don't look as nice.

**BradM** · 08-05-2004, 07:49 PM

**Shap** · 08-05-2004, 07:52 PM

Thanks Sly. We love it here. The ocean view from the office is a biggie starts everyday off the right way

Tornonto - I Cant smell the pollution fried my nose

Regina - THE PLACE TO BE

**BRISK** · 08-05-2004, 07:57 PM

Shap, how easy is it to get high speed net access in the bahamas?

**sixxxth_sense** · 08-05-2004, 07:58 PM

T.O.

we be kicking it down here like its 1999

**Shap** · 08-05-2004, 07:59 PM

Surprisingly enough high speed internet is about the most reliable thing here. It's better than what we had back in montreal. Always blazing fast.

for something like $34.95 CDN a month, Videotron will give you 4.5 Mbps

**EviLGuY** · 08-05-2004, 08:02 PM

They are all fine.. I'd pick Toronto or Vancouver myself..

**quiet** · 08-05-2004, 08:06 PM

hey Shap - i've been offline for 3 days, just got your email (and about 1000 others ;). thanks for the interest, but sorry that offer's no longer on the table...

regarding the cities - i don't know enough about Toronto to really offer an opinion. i love Montreal (i have an office there) and Vancouver - my two favorite large cities in Canada. either one has ample resources...

**Theo** · 08-05-2004, 08:09 PM

great pics shap

you are a lucky man

**Shap** · 08-05-2004, 08:10 PM

Cool Quiet. If ever you are interested in that again drop me a line and maybe we can work something out

Where is your office in Montreal? How do you like it? Expensive?

**Shap** · 08-05-2004, 08:13 PM

Thanks Soul

**the Shemp** · 08-05-2004, 08:13 PM

Hi Shap, west coast is the best coast ;)

**Shap** · 08-05-2004, 08:18 PM

Hi Shemp

**Shap** · 08-05-2004, 08:34 PM

Does Dugmour have an office in Montreal?

I believe so, yes.

**Shap** · 08-05-2004, 09:39 PM

Sounds good Shemp

**Trixxxia** · 08-05-2004, 09:44 PM

My opinion may be biased ;) but I'd go with Montréal.....
Your operating costs would be much cheaper than in the other two cities. Always an ample amount of computer geeks too

**Shap** · 08-06-2004, 03:12 PM

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. We've decided to go with Toronto.

Any of you in the Toronto area that are interested in a job. Let me know

**Doctor Dre** · 08-06-2004, 04:03 PM

Montre based on st-catherine would be the best place in the world for somebody in the industry ... 10000 sluts when you walk down in the streets

I beleive his office (JRN office) is near the Berri-UQAM metro station. I hope you still remember what's a metro station is?;)

**Black Dog** · 08-06-2004, 04:15 PM

I live in Toronto so can you guess which city I recommend?

Toronto is the largest of the three, and has by far the most adult Internet companies. WebcamCash, Python, Orgasm, Platinum, Guerilla Traffic and Slick Cash are all located in Toronto. There is no place better in Canada to locate an adult Internet company.

**NichePay_Manny** · 08-06-2004, 04:17 PM

**Shap** · 08-06-2004, 04:20 PM

Hey Alex. I still remember. It's next to that park where all the squigy bums and teenage drug dealers hang out.

Looking forward to seeing you more often DH

We'll keep the office stacked with beer just in case you are ever in the neighbourhood.

**Nysus** · 08-07-2004, 02:50 PM

Toronto's quite nice. Fairly decent transportation as well.

Matt
