    Would you NOT do business with someone based on their GFY persona?

    Nope. What I mean is, I've spent and made a good chunk of money on people from this board that seem like total dipshits. On the other hand, I've tried doing business with some of the "respectable" people here on the board, only to realize that they have no business doing business...

          Definatly. I have done business with people on here because of their reputation. I just ignore the assclowns...even if I would need a service they are providing. There are enough other people on here that you can choose who you do business with

            It depends.

            I wouldn't hold it against someone just because we disagreed on a subject.

            I would also take everything into consideration not just one event...sometimes people have bad days.

            The only ones I have any real problems with are those who try to fuck with people just for the sake of fucking with them.

            And as far as personas go, we both now that there's a lot of "reputable," webmasters who hide behind other nicks to do their dirty work.

            I find that more sad than the ones who are just asses out in the open with everyone knowing full well who they are.

            tell me who is more trustworthy?

            The hardworking asshole who is open and honest about what biz he/she runs? or the coward hiding behind an anonymous nick creating havoc while posting ass kissing on his other?

                  i too never hide under another name.

                  i think sleazy is a fucker on here, but that wouldnt stop me from doing business with him. im a fucker on here too, someone shouldnt penalize me for that.

                    Exactly! Case in point... [Labret] can be a complete whiny ass simp online but when it comes to plunking down $$$$ the guy is generous and Fair. I'd take that over "board reputation" any time.

                      it depends on their persona.
                      people like you or Amp come sometimes come across as complete assholes, but i'd never hesitate to do business with either of you.

                      it's all in the way you act as an asshole. if you're just flaming people for fun, it wouldn't affect my opinion of you. if you're flaming programs, or trashing people's work/reputation/companies without basis, that would steer me away from you.

                          Ah....BUT.....A board reputation is not necessarily the same reputation as the one they have in person.

                                  Typically I don't care how a person acts here. I will do business with almost anyone. I will admit there are a few extreme cases where I have refused to deal with people but I have to have a burning hatred for that person first.
                                  I like pie.

                                    I'm not talking fucking with people in fun. I don't know where I stand with you, you may hate my fucking guts but I don't take it personally...LOL

                                    When you post about your elite party and say shit to get a rise out of people it passes like a fart in the wind...I just laugh at the others who get riled and feel the need to respond.

                                    I'm talking about the devious ones we get on here. The ones who do malicious stuff, or the ones who just seem as though their life has been a cluster fuck since day one.

                                      i dont care about peoples board persona, im not a lil whiny college school girl.

                                      i do things with people based on their knowledge and seriousness, its not hard to tell within 2 min if you are talking to a complete moron wannabe or someone who wants to actually deal.

                                        Board reputation? Ahaha. You guys take this damn board WAY too seriously in that department. There is tons of money to be made away from GFY.

                                              I fully agree....But he still fucked up around here. I hate to say it but it's true.

                                                    no matter how they are on gfy, ill still consider talking to them on icq/through email before doing business

                                                    most of the people on here act like a hard ass just to try and seem cool and because they know everyone else is reading what they post... but once you get them in an icq convo, their mood/online personality totally changes

                                                      No. Business is business. If the person is an asshole on the boards, doesnt mean that he conducts business in a badway. Then again, if the person is nice on boards, he could quite possible be a bad person to deal with.

                                                                Yep. If they don't want to do business with me because of my board presence then they can kiss my ass and take their money elsewhere. I got into this businss because I was tired of other people dictating my actions. I'll be damned if I am gonna give a shit about losing business simply because somebody is too fucking ignorant to know that these boards are a joke.

                                                                                              known scam artist.

                                                                                              or

                                                                                              something i feel will effect the quality of the service. (turnaround time for example, or say poor support).

                                                                                              but if the person has the product or service that i need and it is quality i wouldn't think twice about it.
                                                                                              Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.
