I'm confused. Why would you open up a new factory under an Obama administration? You've told us time and time again that Obama is anti business and it's not a good time to expand.
I think Minte is really the janitor in this factory.

That didn't honestly answer my question...
![]() ![]() I was breaking your balls a little, because I'm surprised anyone would post so much about their mainstream biz on a porn board (especially since you appear to have little if anything to do with adult anymore - Mintesbabes is parked, and the other non-nude bikini TGP site I know of that you used to operate hasn't been updated in ages). Anyway, it appears that you ducked my original question/point. With what you've posted it was pretty easy to find out about your mainstream company in about 5 minutes. Given how old you would have been in 1967 when your Dad's company was started, I still kind of doubt that you started the business with your Dad as you claim, since you were probably still a kid (which would make it possible for you to have served in Vietnam while a young guy since the war didn't end until 1975, although I'm not sure how much you were running the business with your Dad while simultaneously serving in the military as a young adult). If you have a good mainstream business that you inherited/took over from your Dad, I seriously wonder why you would jeopardize your good luck by mixing it up with porn on GFY? ![]() ADG |

I am not jeopardizing anything by posting here. I could've retired years ago and spent the rest of my life doing pretty much whatever. Once you get to a certain point, there is not much that can take you down. It's called debt to equity. And having been at this for as long as I have there is a lot of equity. However, I only posted these pictures because I do have friends here. THey were very interested to see how the move to the new building went. My life story is of little interest to anyone here. If you have questions about the building or machines I'll be happy to answer them. |

Congrats Minte. The new plant looks great.
I was unaware the bikinipage was gone (end of an era, huh?). Remember the days of being one of the few to have a T1 to their house? :D

Congrats Minte! Very impressive operation. Don't know why ADG is busting your balls so bad, guess he holds grudges over politics. I don't like yours either but thats got nothing to do with this post. I can appreciate anyone who either starts from scratch or takes over a small business and expands it to whole new levels. Takes alot of work and determination. I will however say, you still have to live in Wisconsin LMAO!

If you want everyone to believe that you started your company with your Dad at that age, fine. People here believe most of what is fed to them, even when it doesn't pass the smell test. ![]() ![]() I just don't think that it is very wise to trumpet your mainstream business on a porn board, in case a competitor or someone else has an axe to grind with you or your business. ![]() Reminds me of a long time ago, when I worked for a privately owned business. After the old man who founded the company died, and his kid took over, the company was a total joke. This was plainly nepotism at it's worst. Most of the talented people left. Fortunately for the son, the old man knew a few things about business (and apparently his son), and had a plan for consultants to manage the transition, so that despite the son's ineptitude, the company still flourished. To this day, the kid still is an arrogant SOB that tries to convince everyone that he is a self-made man, built his own company (when he mostly spends his time screwing around), yadda, yadda, when the truth was that he simply inherited an already established company, and he was nothing more than an empty shirt with a big wallet, and an even bigger ego, that knew how to shut up and listen to the consultants, and the real people running the business when they got behind the boardroom doors. Good on you, that you have apparently been able to build upon your Dad's second generation company. Not sure why you need to embellish your story that you essentially co-founded the company with your Dad. Oh well, rock on... ![]() My point was that boasting about mainstream endeavors is not always the wisest thing to do if you also have a footprint in the porn industry. I'll leave it at that. ![]() ADG |

Dunno why you're seeing it as boasting? To anyone from a manufacturing background things like this are far more interesting that all the tinfoil hat threads that flood the board.

Logic fail. Having anti business president does not mean that ALL businesses should close or bankrupt.... You can work under anti business government, it just makes it harder than working under pro business government.

No pictures on this post...
Check my first post. A simple truthful observation (to some it does not seem too wise to post about so much info about your mainstream biz on a porn board), along with an inside joke to Minte attached. I had no idea who Minte was prior to this thread, aside from random posts of his that I recall seeing, most of which seemed centered on cars, and the rest I can recall were about his mainstream biz, and of course his strongly opinionated political rants (edit: and the occasional Packers thread). I honestly didn't have any idea what he did in porn, if anything, since I couldn't remember a single thread in which he posted about what he did in the adult biz (and he does not have an adult link in his sig, which was why I asked). When Minte posted yet again today, photos of his building, I was only going to comment about posting mainstream biz info on a porn board. However, when I used the GFY quote function, it displayed an adult-related website URL for the images. It only took a quick Whois, and a Google search to learn about the company, which I read that Minte's Dad started, and that he is a second-generation head of now. From his anti-government, anti-union political rants, I had the impression that he built his business all by himself, a la John Galt (except John Galt is a fictional character). Instead of letting it drop, he made a statement of fact in response to me, that he founded the company with his Dad, which was clearly not the impression that I got from looking at the company history (founded in 1967), and then when considering his age (once you know a person's location, etc., is pretty easy to locate their age on the net). When I called his bluff, he doubled down by avoiding my question, and throwing out a red herring statement to deflect from the point I was trying to make, and stated that he was old enough to serve in the Army during Vietnam (which had nothing to do with whether he started a company with his Dad in 1967). The Vietnam war didn't end until 1975. I am a Vietnam era vet too, but there is no way I could have started a business in 1967, unless you count my paper route and cutting neighbors lawns. Even after I provided more details, Minte still insisted on clinging to this story, which is apparently important to his self-image, that he was a co-founder of the company which he now heads. All I know is what I read. That the company he now runs, is a second generation company started in 1967 by Minte's Dad. All of that aside, my main point was about his posting info that is pretty much irrelevant to adult, and I thought somewhat risky considering how much he has to lose. By his most recent reaction, he apparently now realizes this to some extent (even if his take is slightly different). I have never disputed that Minte is the current owner of the company (as others have), nor have I exposed his personal info, even though there is a Whois record for an adult website with all of his info on it (which would have made it fair game, if that was how I do things). I will also do nothing else with the info. I don't know the guy, and I don't have anything against him personally. Looks like he has a pretty solid biz, and makes loads of cash judging by all of the cars that he likes to post about so frequently. I will simply take into consideration what I think about his actual background, that he probably learned the biz, and inherited the family business, from his Dad (no shame in that), when I consider his other viewpoints about government, unions, and the such. I've always been somewhat of a champion for real underdogs, that why I get a little heated when I hear conservatives like Romney talk about poor and working class people feeling entitled. People who come from wealth/connections should be the last to talk about feeling entitled. Nathan (Fabian Thylmann) is another example of a guy that claims to be a self-made man, however when you look deeper at how he got to where he is, it appears to many that his success is due at least in part, to some shall we say, less than honorable business practices. The facade that Thylmann tried to create is crumbling now. He spent a few weeks in jail as a result of a large scale investigation into his taxes and finances. Still Fabian wants everyone to believe that the only problem is that the German government just doesn't understand his tax issues. If Fabian believed so strongly that what he was doing in Germany was 100% legal, then why did he suddenly shut much of his German operations down following the police raid? This could lead people to speculate that the German investigators may have found more on Nathan's computers than the story that he is currently trying to spin. Anyway, getting off on a bit of a tangent there. I genuinely wish Minte well with his mainstream business, and if he's still in porn, I look forward to still debating with him from time to time on GFY. Sorry if people think I was being a big meanie. Comments noted. I don't like being thought of as a dick, and in this case, even though I don't think that I was totally wrong, I understand how some of you take any comments towards a friends, so I want everyone to know that I mean no ill will towards Minte or his business, and I'll try to be nicer.

HOWEVER There was no need to go on like you did. Who cares who started the company? What have you achieved from it aside from stopping Minte from posting (I dare say he will not post for a while now). EDIT FWIW - there is an article that says exactly who started the co and when if it means that much to you.

If you dont think trying to call someone out for no apparent reason not being a dick. I am not sure what you think is. He was blatantly trying to put the guy down saying he didnt do shit and his dad gave him a business. As OP has said. His dad died in the 90's. George W Bush has run 100's of his dads businesses into the ground since the 90's. This guy has expanded it. What he did was our of pure jealousy and envy. Its pretty obvious he was in the wrong here and he was proven wrong with every comment by the answers the OP gave to his questions.

Minte can correct me, but I clearly read that he worked for another company out of High School, became GM at his Dad's company in 1995 when his Dad retired (almost 30 years after the company was founded), and only became CEO of the family business when his Dad passed away (apparently other relatives are/were also execs in the family biz, which is what my inside joke about nepotism was about). My approach might seem heavy handed, but I'm pretty sure I had my facts straight, whereas some of Minte's statements did not seem completely truthful to me based upon what I gleaned from public media reports. As for the jealousy and hate "bait", some of you guys read way too much into things (or try to attribute your opinion as fact). I'm more humble than my board persona may sometimes suggest, and I'm not so materialistic, so I don't really get jealous about what other people have. I've actually read a few of the press pieces about Minte's company, and it sounds like a totally legit and profitable company that is going employs a lot of people and makes Minte even wealthier in the process (you could say that he is making a mint). What is to be jealous about that? Not sure what else people want to deconstruct from what I said, but I have a few other things I need to do tonight, so carry on. ADG |

Minte was one of my first trade partners in the late 90s early 2000s. He was in this business before the majority here. Was always a good honest guy to deal with. I respect his political positions and enjoy seeing his mainstream business endeavors which are far better than most of the shit posted on this forum.
Here is to you Minte and the old BikiniPage: ![]() ![]()
