Its a joke... stop takin thing so negatively :2 cents:

Mintes been on this board for a long time, guy is richer then most of the big program owners...:2 cents:

Owned? Guy could own the entire shitty little Ohio town you live in.

.

Wow, ADG is being a dick.

The pictures were nice but the forum's name is go fuck yourself. If you post here looking for roses to be thrown at you. Youre at the wrong place. I could post today I cured cancer and smart ass remarks would come.

Haters gonna hate!

I'm only confused by your actions. You told us that businesses would never expand while Obama is in office, something about him not being business friendly or some such nonsense, and yet here you are expanding. Go figure.

I'm just giving you a hard time really.

me thinks you are right:2 cents:

I dont think he was being a dick but he definitely hit a nerve.

where are them pictures?

Can't see shit...

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.

ADG

Not people, Just one person, ADG obviously. He likes to dominate the 'posting pics' on this board. His jealousy in this thread is outrageous. I never thought of him like that. I can tell he is a creep but this is just overboard. Who gives a fuck if someone got there business from there family. That is what family is for. He is just an angry jealous creep. While Minte is supplying 150+ jobs to people in the US. ADG pays a few asian chics who likely are here on visa's or greencards to fuck for money.

Minte,

I didnt get to see the pics and I see at this point wishing you good luck is moot. You seem to have made it and know what you are doing. You answer the haters like a gentleman. Thats respectable. Keep up the good work.

To be perfectly honest, I thought the same thing when I saw the photos ie what the hell is he doing posting this here. Also found out who he was in a matter of minutes.

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.

Ide rather see photos of Minte's mainstream business over the dumb fucking pictures ADG posts all day. Guy hasnt posted an original though since I started posting here. Just dumbfuck pictures with some stupid remark trying to be witty. Hes a decent enough guy where people pretend like he is funny, but he really took it to the next level for no good reason except jealousy. Mad his dadddy didnt leave him a pot to piss in.

I had no intention of dragging it on, but when someone posts something as fact that you pretty much have strong reason to believe is untrue, then sometimes you feel compelled to respond (since essentially by contradicting me, he was implying that I was wrong/lying).

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

Its his dad, whether or not he started there from day 1 its his families business. What are you trying to prove. It really will do nothing for anyone except you if you are correct. He is still rich, you still aren't. The jealous portion is your trying to discredit something he says for no reason because he is successful and you are mad at that. Its pretty obvious. Go post another pic..

And you do not think that when you read hundreds of off topic threads? I mean funny cat videos, political, cars, history, drama, movies, food and so on and so on are ok, yet specifically factory business thread is "what the hell"?

Hundreds of off topic threads (most of them less valuable than this one) and yet only this specific thread is "what the hell"?

:helpme

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:

ADG drops 20K every time he sets up the stage for his girls at any show. He's one of the veterans who never had to set up affiliate program or use shady x-sales to make profit for his biz. ADG is God of Asian Porn/Erotica as much as Vagina Finder for crack whore ghetto hoes. Remind us what you do, son?
PS: and don't say anything about my reg date. I've been around this biz before you had your Bar Mitzvah.

A hunnert haters, sitting in a tree

H A T I N G

Nice factory and congrats on the growth. I think you deserve credit for creating local jobs instead of farming out to china like everyone else.

Was there a pun intended? If so, that's hilarious.

The only thing that is obvious is that you've had a hard on me for about a week or so after I called you out on your silly PBBC posts, so try to get over that and just focus on the facts.

When a person attributes a credit to themselves, as Minte did repeatedly about when/how he attained his position, it is not jealousy when you provide proof that the claim is not true. If they are discredited, it is because they were wrong in the first place.

In case you weren't aware, people lose high profile positions all the time due to resume padding, or claiming credentials that they don't really possess, even if they achieved other good things, or have excelled despite their deception.

Of course, in a family-run business, or a business where you are the CEO of your own company, that doesn't happen so much, since who is going to fire you? That's why most public companies have policies designed to avoid even the appearance of nepotism.

Anyway, sorry you don't like my pix posts. I'm sure that on a superficial level that is all that some people see. I don't care, and I don't why you do, since afterall, Supz.com is a "Funny Pictures, Videos, and Celebrity Gossip" site. Are you even in porn? :upsidedow :winkwink:

Despite your perception, I answer questions and provide advice to people on a fairly regular basis (even did so a few times today if you check my post log). I'm also fairly well-known in the adult industry since I have conducted a fair amount of business with dozens of people during my 10 plus years as a site owner and content producer in this industry.

Finally, since you asked (link from your hilarious Supz.com site):

Lots of funny pix on your site...bookmarked. We have something in common, let's try and build on that.

Pack your bags ADG... we're goin on a guilt trip :1orglaugh

:winkwink:

What do you care what he accredits himself with? Why does it bother you so much? He has disproved your theories post after post, but yet you don't stop. You are doing anything to discredit him in a situation where it makes no difference to anyone here. I understand if it was some adult business that involved people here and other peoples money was at risk. That is obviously not the case here. Many people here have already said he is a stand up dude and have done business with him for years and years. But you still keep going. You are making a fool of yourself, simple as that. I don't have a hard-on for you since any pbbc thread. Unlike you I can detect jokes & satire. You are just being an ass here, It's as simple as that.

A funny pic site is just that. This is a board forum for discussions. You have nothing to say ever. Just pics and make some dumb comment trying to be witty. If you want, You can upload pics to my site. They are getting old here.

Minte and I have had heated debates about everything from tax policy to QB ratings over the years.

He posted some interesting things in this thread and anyone not interested in it should simply have skipped this thread in favor of another one. When someone posts something, they aren't asking you to dig deeper... just take it at face value and move on...

Seriously, what is wrong with him? I noticed he got testy when PBBC called him out. Now he's burning bridges?

Darth Fiddler :1orglaugh
He's always out when I head to downtown where I live.

If anyone missed ADG, I can take his spot. Look I can find pics too!

You sound butthurt.

If I explained what I did you would not be able to keep up. You are a nobody. What do you do besides post from a fake nick? Nothing. Get off my dick. Son.

I've been in the technology game before your brit milah.

I'm not the one all insecure over someone else's success.

Hey arent you that scammer guy that got called out in this thread?

your dick? your dick isn't strong enough to hold a feather. you see that melissa king link in my sig? this url was on CNN two weeks ago. Imagine how much traffic I got. Now tell me tipsha whats your claim?
I admire success.. So what have you done that comes anywhere close to ADG's?

Most I ever spent on a stage alone was around $6k for a show that the promoter had to cancel on the day of the show - I never even got to see the finished stage (I had to absorb the price of several hotel rooms and flights as well). :(

For the 2008 Exotic Erotic Ball in San Francisco, I spent nearly $20k altogether, but that included a pretty big stage with sound/lights, 50+ models/performers, 22 hours of non-stop DJ's over 2 days, body painters, security, etc:

http://www.asiandivagirls.com/conten...ium/adg-08.jpg

Most of my shows are a lot less expensive.

As for cross-sales, it's true that I have never used them, and from what I know of them and how they have been abused in this industry, I probably never will, plus I would never consider deceptive cross-sales. I'm just not that greedy/desperate for money, and I try to be honest and ethical in my business dealings.

As for never having an affiliate program, I do now (as of last Oct), however it is small and invite only. I'll be making some pretty big announcements about the next phase of my affiliate program shortly.

I've never portrayed myself as a big baller in this industry. Although I hire several contractors for my business, I am still essentially a one-person small company. My business can get way better, which is something that I spend most of my waking hours working on.

Finally, I'm an atheist, so I'm certainly not a god of anything - I am (web)master of my own domain though, and that's good enough for me. :winkwink:

So if someone makes an untrue statement (as opposed to stating an opinion), you just take it at face value? :uhoh

More like time for me to mellow out, hit the vape, and then get my ass back to work since I have a midnight deadline on a project that I'm working on:

I see all of the PBBC wannabe-gangsta clique is starting to show up, so I'll leave this thread to them to run it into the ground, which seems to be the main function of the PBBC of late. None of them are arguing with the main point I made, which is that I do not think the posting about your mainstream biz on a porn board is always a good idea.

As to the facts about how/when Minte became CEO of his mainstream business, he chose to make it into an argument. I believe that I made my case, and that a fair-minded observer would conclude the same.

FWIW, I operate independently, so I have no connection to any trolling by Horatio Caine or 2013. :helpme

Gotta love GFY sometimes... :1orglaugh

ADG

Damnit, I wanted to see the pics. Damn you ADG!

God damn it, I missed everything .. the photographs are not working anymore :(

We only call out trolls, fake nicks, haters and jackoffs. Sorry that in this thread you fit into one of those categories. You were just acting like a douche and wont admit it. Just say you were wrong and acting like a dick. Its not a big deal. A real man knows when he is wrong. As I said before. I have nothing against you. You always seemed like a good dude. But came off as a real hater in this thread when there was nothing to gain. That is my opinion, so I called it out on it. I am obviously not the only one.

xWell you pretty much confirmed the why.

However I will explain it since you want to attack for all the wrong reasons.

Character assassination. I have seen it so many times onthis board, personal information used to destroy a person. THAT is the reason I thought that, NOT because of the utter bullshit you have conjured up in your head. :2 cents:

@ ADG

Like I said in my other post, I agree with the why (not to post about mainstream business here), just not the way in which you went about making your point. So hopefully Minte returns and this all gets swetpt under a rug.
