Furious_Female 05-02-2005 04:25 PM

Can anyone confirm if he was supposed to start working for Webair when he moved to NY?

I think Jon said he was 20 years old... I didn't know he had a hosting company years ago.

The Other Sweetie 05-02-2005 04:54 PM

I didn't know Jon was that young. I did a search on another board and his hosting company, HostingExtreme, took a royal shit in 2002. During my search, though, I saw a thread I forgot about. It was announced in Feb. that he's working for Made in Porn. Maybe Nima knows where he is?

Lee 05-02-2005 05:23 PM

Yeah he blew out once before on AWI I thought? Seemed to re-appear after a long time though without too much of a stink being kicked up.

Sparks 05-02-2005 06:01 PM

Jon is 21... I did a search on him. I didn't know about his hosting company a few years back. Should have done my research on him....

Is Jon laughing all the way to the bank, his pockets fat with the whopping $3k?

It hasn't been confirmed, but it is a rumor going around....

Spunky 05-02-2005 08:51 PM

I wondered why he wasn't posting here anymore.

BlueWire 05-02-2005 08:55 PM

I think I still have his credit card # on file :1orglaugh But that would just be bad business :winkwink:

Xenophage 05-02-2005 09:10 PM

wow finally I passed on something and was happy !

not cuzz I am smart but just cuzz I am too friggin busy to start new projects.

sorry for those that got taken.. I Spoke with Jon on the phone at phoenix forum and told him I was too busy to set up the special webcam stuff, sure glad I did not waste my time

aflex 05-02-2005 09:10 PM

2k isnt shit. what a waste.

BlueWire 05-02-2005 09:20 PM

If anyone who was involved with this wants to run with this I would offer up my company's tools to help out....

Hit me up on icq ..I have a 6 man programing team and 4 man design team

wdforty 05-02-2005 09:40 PM

I've known jon for about 3 years, yeah his ideas suck but I don't think he would scam anyone for a few $k...

By the way I last heard from him on the 12th of Apr.

Yet apparently... he did just that.

So maybe you best start thinking differently. Of course there are two sides to this story and his has not been heard, but he has had more than ample time to post something about this or make a move or two with the contest he was trying to get going. More than enough time.

It's not looking good for ol Jon boy.

There will be a number of views of the banner and button spots due to the first 3 weeks of the contest will be a voting round with multiple page views per webmaster."

"Glad to have you on board on this contest. As Lensman said...This is gonna be huge!"

See why I believed him now?

if you emailed lensman and got lensmans to vouche for this guy, yeah, then you have a case....but still, has anyone else on the board done any business with this guy before?

Pathetic even by your standards.... I hope it was just a bad trolling attempt in a big thread

Jace 05-02-2005 10:08 PM

i now see that some people did email lensman and lensman vouched for this guy....

and i also see some people in here that knew this guy for quite a while and they considered him a friend, and jon has up and left them too...makes me wonder if something happened to jon....

how long have you all known him to be in the adult biz? most people can't just up and leave the adult biz, i know, i have tried :)

i'm probably way off due to the fact i dont pay TOO much attention to GFY.. but I had a hunch that Jon was Chio the Pirate.. i'm sure some of you GFY insiders know who Chio is or whats the deal... anyway thats my 2cents

Personally i've never heard that. My company has done biz with jon before. He paid up front for his AW Stuff design stuff and a couple of other logos...600 bucks if i recall.......

My thoughts:

Overall a nice guy and i have nothing TRULY bad to say about him...However, I think those of you who are in the service industry will know what i'm talking about when i say that you can sense when someone isnt what they play themsleves up to be. He was saying he had deals with webair and a couple of big name sponsors....and at the time, i'm like...whatever...he's a customer and I wanna make him happy even if that means pumping his ego. So AW Stuff was supposedly backed by some pretty big people in the industry...yet the budgete for design was like 400 bucks and then he wanted to other logos i think. I told him if you just put down a couple hundred more bucks we can really go to town on this and make it kick ass but he was dead set on this budget....mentioned a pay partly now and then he'd promote me on the boards setup. I declined and eventually we just did the 600 dollar deal. Just one of those guys that even know he was nice, i told myself...i probably dont wanna do mroe business with him again.

I think someone hit the nail on the head because this is EXACTLY the kind of guy i thought he was...a guy with a lot of ideas that dont really amount to jack.....There are a couple of other people on here who are like CLONES of this guy...I'm not gonna name them though because they are current clients :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

But if they ever skimp on a payment...look out..i'll have to unleash my list of GFY dumbasses

YARGH! That be the most retarded thing I've ever heard. It makes as much sense as this pic:

Lensman 05-02-2005 10:43 PM

Although I was not involved with this thing, I feel badly because I approved the contest. He used that to get Hostive to prepay advertising. And Machine Gun Kelly did work for it. So, to take care of both of them, we will run advertising for Hostive on GFY for no charge, and I will pay Kelly for his work or hire him to do some work for Adult.com, his choice.

Sorry guys, and in the future, I suggest not prepaying for anything unless you've known them for years.

aflex 05-02-2005 10:43 PM

lol Chio.. hey man just a hunch..

i posted my thoughts because i thought it was odd how when Jon posted a new topic, Chio would respond within 2 minutes.. it was almost automatic.. use the GFY search into Jon's and Chio's nicknames on the board, they correspond very well together when posting.. anyway thats just me being Columbo.

YARGH! He wanted me to judge the challenge, and asked me to start a thread about me judging the contest. He also asked me, to bump threads regarding the contest as well. That's it.

Since we haven't been formally introduced. My name's Jim, I run porn sites.

Lensman,
That is an awesome offer and I truly appreciate it. I realize you were not directly involved and appreciate your offer. You are a class act, unlike that scum bag Jon.

Sorry, but referring to queers as fags and being in adult just doesn't seem to make much sense . . . especially if you are a marketing rep



Disclaimer: the use of the word queers was to drive home a point.

Furious_Female 05-02-2005 11:09 PM

According to Jon's GFY profile, his last activity was April 19th

What day did he receive the $2k? Do you think something bad happened to him? Hospital? Kidnapped? Worse? :Oh crap

Doubt it. I've heard from some people who are close to him and they say he is fine. There are people looking for him and I'm guessing we won't have to look much further. I guarantee he's reading this post. Relax for now Jon, because things will get ugly here real soon.
