Thread died... o.k.
SO I WENT AHEAD AND PICKED A WINNER.
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!
Cheers and Congrats MistaT!
