OMG people did you know there is more than one photographer that covers the adult webmaster gathers? Did you also know there is more than one hosting, billing, webdesign, an affiliate program out there? We have some serious problems. Competition in the marketplace exists.
In the real world which some of you have lost touch with, there are a multitude of options for products and services. In the USA for example: Kinkos, Staples, Office Depot and UPS Store for printing needs. If your hungry for a hamburger there is McDonalds, Burger King, Carls Jr, Rallys, Fat Burger, In and Out, and thousands of other places.
The reality is that most of you do not attend the shows, hence never having the opportunity to meet either myself, or the lead photographer Buster. Btw, everyone loves a little drama, I am the first one to check in at places like the Zoo, to give myself a minutes worth of entertainment and the same news I can find on CNN.
Does the drama bother me personally? Yes and No. The fire which is fueled by posts submitted by friends of JFK, silly trolls, and those that dont know us, only brings awareness of NALEM which results in traffic. Once the site visitor is there, they decide for themselves if they like the user platform or not.
What really saddens me, is that many of you waste your energy on bitching and complaining, and spend way too much time on the boards, instead of focusing on your own business, and what you need to do to make some $. Yes $ can still be made.
Unlike the fools that post private email and chat communications on the boards, or like to air their personal or business problems that they have with others in this industry, I have resisted the urge to divulge the issues that should not exist between JFK and myself.
Below you will find an edited post that JFK decided to publish on another board known as SC. The unedited version can be at post #167 on the SC board at https://www._____________.com/showth...629#post310629
"A few years ago you were politely told at Cybernet Expo to back off the threats, and that any photos taken at webmaster gatherings, were for the radio station, and that as such we were not intending to compete for your audience or advertisers.
I told you then if you continue the threats, I would open a site to complete in the marketplace. You continued to bully people Julius, and I have kept my promise. I was patient with you for 4+ years.
The only three things we have in common is that we both speak HU, both attend webmaster gatherings, and we both provide photo coverage using a pro camera.
The comparison stops there. NALEM and Fubarwebmasters are worlds apart in the user experience and advertising channels it offers its clients.
People closest to you have already told me about your horrible demeanor. I had assumed it was only towards us. You really are a sorry POS. For 5 years I reached out to shake your hands and say hello everytime we crossed paths. Putting aside your attitude with us, I scored you the box lunch for the golf tournament at TPF, when I saw your golf cart didnt have one. I dont recall you saying thank you, but then again that is not your style.
I can afford to risk NALEM to the winds of change. Can you say that about your site. You will cause your own self destruction, though I wholeheartedly dont wish that upon you, because I know there is room for several photographers, and you must support your family.
Thank you for your explosive moment here Julius. I think I will have my worker repost it to all the boards, just like we do with the event coverage. I will take heat for it, and your friends will help fuel the fire. Time will tell how things play out.
All the best,
Alex
