My father just mentioned Nick's name to me earlier today and it made me wonder, what the hell happened to these guys? They were huge for a while, giving away cars and cash at Internext, sporting hot babes at parties and events, hosting and designing for a large percentage of the industry, and suddenly, *POOF* in under a month's time they were gone. Were they the ENRON of the adult industry, plagued by internal corporate scandals to get rich quick and screw everyone else in the process? Did they just get far too greedy for their own good? Were they hardcore spammers? Did life in the Russian mob seem nicer than life as porn kings?

Anyone have any answers or can someone clear up for me exactly what happened?

PS - My father is not involved in the adult industry, but Nick's dad works for my dad, so the subject comes up here and again.

haha - Enron of the industry - hardly considered one of the biggest guys

According to Stan this is completely incorrect.

I'll paraphrasae from my icq conversations with him...

Stan was an employee of likewhoa, and was receiving no salary while trying to make a run at it with his boss and other employees such as himself.

The company goes under (Stan attributes lot of it to Nick's lavish spending and poor business decisions), and Envisionext is Stan's own creation where he's in charge and running things in the ways he sees fit.

This is what I believe is the story, if anyone can correct me with any details please do so.

well, the while cars and giving away money thing is a good indication....too much giving away leaves nothing for yourself....

Envisiontext's designs are awesome. The affilliate stats/management program they have is really nice too.

Biggy2 · 05-01-2004, 02:15 PM

a stroll down memory lane -

this may/june will be a year since they are gone.

GoGoBar · 05-01-2004, 02:19 PM

LikeWhoa was a piece of shit. Nick's back living with daddy

LikeWhoa - Nick = Enivsionext (IMHO) which is a top notch company to work with. Stan gets a nice big

That's correct.

Envisionext is Stans creation and he run the company very well, provides his clients with the best quality we can offer, on top of that great service and support. As an employee of envisionext will continue to provide our client with top notch work as we did the first day we started and looking to bring ideas to take this industry to the next level.

$tandaman · 05-01-2004, 02:53 PM

Kush, Gogobar thanks for the kind words

NiteChatDotTV you can find my icq here
<<<<

Enivisonext is not LikeWhoa, although obviously it's easy to get the two things confused, since i was one of the founders @ LW.

Envisionext history is simple.

I quit LW because i couldnt cope with things my partner was doing, i was supposed to be bought out by my ex partner (Nick). I started my new company in complete agreement with my ex partner, not competing with anything LW did. My partner did not pay me either way, shut down the operations and retained all physical assets of the company.

May 12th we'll be celebrating our brand?s 1st year, anyone around NYC give me a holla, you are all invited!

We have took a few things from LW which were good. After all these were my ideas

We also took the experience of how NOT to run business.

I have also took the great team of people, who I am proud to call my friends as well as my associates, some who left with me, some who came after LW went out of biz. Only the people who I wanted here, since now i am in charge of making those decisions.

We have grown from 1 to over 20 designers on staff in this year, from one to 6 project managers and from one to over 20 programmers. We are a great example of Globalization at work. You can learn more about us on http://www.envisionext.com/about.html

Envisionext has served over 100 design clients in the last year, and as you can see the design has been done on the level to make us proud. We have decided to bring fresh vibe to the industry, and we've had tough time getting rid of the inherited likewhoa stench, but through hard work we have proved ourselves.
We?ve established ourselves as the leader in Adult Design industry, and continue doing so by introducing innovative products and service to our customers. In the last year we have worked with many top adult companies such as ARS, CH00PA, WEGCASH, PURECASH, CEN, OXEO, ISPRIME, JOINRIGHTNOW, and many others.

We are the only adult design studio (as far as I know) offering 100% satisfaction guarantee in writing. The only reason we are able to do that is due to our very talented staff.

We have new and cool stuff in development that will be coming out in the next 3 months, which will further help getting an even higher rate of satisfaction from our customers.

What a year it has been, i would like to thank everyone who has contributed to our success! We couldn't do it without you, and many people has trusted us, only because of my name. Thank you!

txl · 05-01-2004, 02:54 PM

Envisionext definitely has nothing to do with Nick, the only thing in common with likewhoa and Envisionext is Stan. And stan has done a great job running envisionext and producing some of the finest designs i've seen in a long time.

to stan
