Yes, the Vivid thread does give me a chuckle and a quick "pick me up" when I've had a rough day.

If the other person falls through, I just sent you an ICQ -- look me up, as you say, but definitely don't sweat the dollars. If you wanted to toss me some coin, that's just you being a stand-up guy. Me being a stand-up guy is not expecting it, after offering to set you on the right path for free.

"I've tried to say it in a respectful manner, but you're not leaving me much choice -- I consider you to be a child trapped in a high post count. Your reputation hits both extremes: some people love you, and a lot of people think you're a putz. To me (and this is my opinion, nothing more), you're a hack with little skill in design and almost no skills with people. If you want to get right down to it, I cringe to even read your spelling, grammar, and punctuation. It's like you don't even TRY."


Silly kid. Good luck.
You will get some skin some day.

yes Alien, we're all idiots.

Except for you of course. Found your board. It's pretty funny hehehe

http://www.hahahahahahahahahahahahah....com/threaded/

all threads are from you, a couple press releases, Mike Okitch slamming you for fun, and the lilbitch who stole all my computers lol

lemme guess: you don't WANT anyone to post there for ummmm... business reasons that I just wouldn't understand.

Ya know what cracks me up about Dig?

How he used up a great designer that I taught. The poor kid lived with em, and developed a crystal meth habit. Rather than get em off the shit or stop it from happening Dig kicked em to the curb. The industry practically killed em, and during the course of it, he was under paid and used the whole way.

Sad story...
People wanting to be hero's...

Ask em about Ryan.

Wanna go a few more notches Mr. Dig?
Or ya wanna keep playing?

you mean the kid who got a fat weekly paycheck, free rent and free food and STILL couldn't do a lick of work?

How the fuck is it my fault he got on crank? Blame your friend lilbitch for that I guess, if I had known that shit was around they ALL would have been gone.

what, you gonna bring even more of your crackhead friends out of the closet?

are YOU a tweaker? That would explain a lot....

I do not do any drugs dig.
Never have.

Wanna turn this into a drug discussion?

What prescriptions you on?
Isnt it true you suffer some emotional tempermental problems?

You think ya paid him well? LOL!
Plz.

I know the whole story dude.

Keep pushing me and it can get uglier.

i'm afraid i have to agree with alienq here ( and didgi420 at the same time)


It didnt sound to me like he meant he wanted people to do it for free so alienq jumped in too quick, but just when i think alienq has gone too far digi says "If I dont like it is not done" , well come on man thats an open contract for a never ending project.."

I think both of you just misundertood each others intentions ( and for good reason as one of you is a designer and one is buying a design )

ALIENQ stop busting digi420's balls , he just meant he didnt want someone to drop him a finished template and say "$500 take it or leave it", he wants "make it like gfy then mod it per my instructions "

DIGI420 stop busting alienq's balls , some people just like to be a smartass.

from a buyers perspective , you dont want to get a designer that gets halfway thru and flakes on you.

from a designers perspective , you dont want a client that makes you do alot of work and modification for him to say " sorry i didn't like it after all the mods i made you make"

I was on Prozac when I quit drinking, it's no secret. I haven't been on it for years. No booze either. You think you know all these deep dark secrets on everybody, but you don't know anything that hasn't been posted on a message board somewhere. Who the fuck would ever TELL you anything in the first place?

Here's the whole Ryan story: I paid him a weekly salary of 500 or 700.00/wk, gave him a free room, free food and never asked him to do anything except work 8 hrs. a day.

The unfortunate thing about people is that when you solve all their problems for them, they will create thier own NEW problems just to keep things interesting. The main thing my little communist experiment taught me is that you can't just 'save' people. People will rise or sink to their own level. But at least I tried.

For instance, you. You will always be a third rate designer with a big ego and little to no success. It doesn't really matter what anyone does for you for example Vivid.

lol it's not ugly at all for me, they're YOUR pals, not mine. They were just employees to me. And this is the first I ever heard of Ryan doing meth.

Fuckin slave driver... :1orglaugh :thumbsup

You actually came the closest to explaining what communism is all about that i have ever seen.

yep. It looks good on paper, it SHOULD work, but it just doesn't.

Well I kept in Contact with Ryan, he got himself clean, moved in with his parents and now enjoy's a normal life. He was a friend.

But I will spare his side of the story out of respect for him.

You didnt solve anyones problem. YOU were the problem.

actually it was kind of a tongue in cheek joke about how you werent really "sharing" :)

Like your example was a terrible example of communism , but it was closer to the truth..

What you did , was just a nice thing to do for a guy hard on his luck.. communism would be if you shared his success and shared his problems equally.

I guess I was if paying all the bills for everyone is a problem. There are plenty of people who would like to have a problem like me around lol

You're aware Ryan got almost NO work done right? You're aware that your friend lilbitch ended up stealing every computer in the house right? And how did YOU teach him anything? You were there maybe twice for parties and I never saw any classes taking place.

The mistake I made with that whole episode is allowing leeches and losers like you and your friends on the property. I learned my lesson.

Anyways Dig...

We can spar some more later.
Clearly you are just making shit up now at this point.
I only really cared about Ryan and regarding him you are clueless. He was really talented.

nah I had a huge house in Sun Valley and moved in the employees, he wasn't the only one. Tried to create a little porn commune. It was a grand failed experiment. I tried to share the success, be damned if I'm going to share everyone's problems.

you stupid little small time fuckhead, I have at least two design companies, one staff designer, two techs, two video producers, a couple programmers and a couple network techs working at all times. You think this msg board thing is some kind of big deal? You think YOU'RE some kind of big deal?

If there wasn't some leveling mechanism like a message board involved, you would never even get to speak to me, let alone argue with me. Get a fucking clue.

And yeah I did teach Ryan alot.
Many nights over a long duration.
You know ICQ does work in explaining things and teaching right?

I have done that for several of designers, 4 now is my guess that I helped and also explained things to on avoiding business problems with cheap assholes.
Each one is very successful:)

Maybe that would explaine why I have never done biz with you and knew right out the gate I never would.

Ya got all that and ya come here asking for somebody to come in and help with a fucken BBS board for free practically?

OMG! Please.

LOL! :1orglaugh

yeah? they're all successul designers now who would come here and thank you for all your icq 'teaching' huh?

name two of them.

no, I didn't ask for 'help'. I asked for someone to come and do a JOB modifying msg board settings, which I don't have the time or inclination to do myself. I remember you from another thread talking about how much you 'helped' your employers. Including Vivid lol

here's a free clue for you: when someone is paying you a salary, you're not 'helping' them. You're not their friend. You're their employee.

But Playa ya got:

Let me not mis quote you or anything OK?

Here:

"I have at least two design companies, one staff designer, two techs, two video producers, a couple programmers and a couple network techs working at all times."

Now playa...
Please.

To fuckin install a BBS board is like 5 minutes of work dude. another 10 for the god damn logo and ya think out of the those resources that ya could have ya know...

One of em do it?
Or are they all stupid as well?

No, it's not 5 minutes of work. It's more like 5 hours by someone who knows the software inside and out, and all my guys are busy doing other things.

Is that simple enough? I've explained it twice, once in explicit detail earlier. I don't know how to make it any easier for you.

oh, and I hired textpimp to do text editing earlier from a GFY thread. In fact I frequently hire people from GFY to do irregular jobs I don't want to spend programmer time on. Do you have a problem with that too you weird goofy motherfucker?

And I was going to go to bed :)

and miss all this? :1orglaugh

5 hours? No.
For Vbullitin?
No NO NO!

LOL!
What ya got it on a redundant cluster?
Multi Server with balancing?

Just one server?

Custom Configurations?
Wait we gone from Just simply installing Vbulletin to now expertly configuring and integrating the logo?

Or do you think custom configuration are just setting the style sheets with pretty hexi colors in the admin panel?

If you really make alot of money man...
I am stumped, how do complete retards manage so much coin?

http://main.bisexual.com/

does that look like 5 minutes of configuration to you? I guess you must be the smartest, most vbulletin savvy dude in the WORLD. Do you think there might be a reason I'm looking to hire the same person who did this configuration? hmmmmm? Do you think she did it in 5 minutes? I was guessing it would take her a couple days to get it just right.

I don't know why I'm responding to you. I must be out of my fucking mind. :helpme

dig is one of the few not scared to pull out his cock, when it comes down to it. he is obviously very successful, and has my full respect. and his mma skills scare me ;) i love to watch, but i have no interest in ever, ever playing.

:)

you have my full respect as well Quiet. I wish I could be more like you sometimes, but I always feel like I have to prove something for some reason, therefore I end up in pissing matches with people like Alien lol

It's not like I have anything to gain here.

"I just want to be able to say 'make it like GFY except with this logo' and then pay for it when it's done. No special programming required that I'm aware of, just tweaking the options."

Yeah about 5 minutes awright maybe 1/2 hour.
Thats what ya had in mind? Or Now ya changing it to a redesign of the whole thing?

Its fucken style sheets dude. Not some elaborate shit.
Get you hands dirty and learn somthing.

I had WMNB done in 3 hours and left it alone design and all, along with the News Feeds etc etc.

Ya are right nothing to gain here.

Good night.

looks like everyone else left it alone too, because I don't see anyone posting.

And you may not have noticed, but about halfway down the first page coolegg came in and pointed out bisexual.com, and that was the end of my plans for a simple layout. Comprehension wouldn't be among your strong suits I'm guessing.

Unlike me, you don't have anything to lose either. You're already a running GFY joke.

Well lets just call it a day Dig.

I know ya do good stuff, ya not a bad guy.

I was just surprised ya would ask people to do some work for ya without anything upfront then adding the statement about being paid when it is "Done".

Anyways really good night.
We oughtah bury this. Its pointless.
