It seems there use to be a policy on GFY that there could only be 4 contest going at any given time and you had to buy a top spot. I noticed a few days ago it looked like 10 - 12 contest threads on the front page and some of them go on for months and i don't think they were all buying top banner space either.

Contest are part of the problem. The affiliate companies who buy sig space from sig whores are the other part of the problem.

will, i tried to contact you but without any reply. I think you considered me as not serious person.. heh well I dont care much, I just wanted to try clickcash with your promo tools.

Go Ambush Yourself - Are they going to be posted on GAY.com..?

Could be.

If that happens, I'm just happy I didn't leave an email address. I've got enough spam as it is.

Did you email or ICQ ?

bump for anyone else.

Bump for a great thread. :thumbsup

btw i agree insomniac. GFY Has definitely changed :disgust

can't believe just how many NONAMES want an ambush sooo bad they'll fake on on here


sad

I think there are two different things :thumbsup

First, I think there are alot of people that would like others to know a little more about them. It's tough to tell the world what you are about without bragging and usually, if you do try to tell everyone what you are about, when you do it comes off the wrong way. Most people think Sleazy is a dick but in person he's not only a very generous, kind, funny guy but he is also very smart and a great guy to talk biz with. It's tough to get the msg out to people what you are about on gfy. So i think these people would like a way to get that word out anyway possible. This thread just happens to use the Ambush tag to do it but definitely proves people are interested in letting others know about themselves.

Second I think the Ambush interviews that you have are a good way for people to not only get to know someone better but learn something about the industry and the history of it.

Your an idiot. :321GFY

Great reply Shap.. :thumbsup

Tony how many damn threads have we both posted in? I've always wondered who you were and what you did. Nice to finally know :thumbsup

You know what would be great? And I don't think it should be called an ambush as much as it is an About Me. It would be sweet if there was a section on gfy for users to update this type of info. AdultWhosWho Derek should add this to AWW. I think it would be a great addition.

I like Sleazy. I know him and Will are at each other. I bet if Will had used a title like Tell us About Yourself or About me or something like that it could have been a more popular thread.

It was just a matter of time of before you came into this thread.


I don't think any of the people who replied here wanted to be abmushed by you. Your ambushes are more about drama and blowing people. What I started is a way for people to explain who they are and what they do. "ambush" was just used to give it a little attention, since people recognize that phrase.

NONAMES people? you really are a piece of shit. So because you don't know the person they are obviously a nobody?

You hit the nail on the head and the reason why I started this thread.

About me would have been a more appropriate phrase, but people recognize " abmush" like you said, so that is why I used those words.

It would be good if GFY added a " profile" for people share info about themselves.

It's great for networking.

This has nothing to do with what Scott is doing, other then the name of this thread. What he does focuses more on drama and not business related stuff, and he only does 1 a week I believe.

In a fantasy world it would rock if that were mandatory to fill out. I'd love to be able to read more about people that are posting. Hopefully gfy admins will read these posts and consider adding it to the user profiles.

Hey Shap, I emailed Kevin a while back to see if you guys would be interested in adding me as a shooter to your list but never heard from him.

None

How Long in Adult:
8 or 9 years. I can never remember when i started.

How did you get started:
Long story. Stumbled on persiankitty.com and saw her counter and was hooked. I ran a few different free sites when I started and did ok. Never stuck with any of them. First thing I stuck with was PicWarehouse. It started as a link list and became a CJ. It was a top 10 ranked traffic site for about a year. Then before CJs started to decline I took all my traffic and started some really high quality tgps and turned all my CJ traffic into Tgp Bookmarks.

What do you do/own to generate income:
Paysites and Tgps. Main sites are Twistys.com and Thumbzilla.com

How many hours do you work a week:
Between 75 and 95

Yes.

Famous GFY moment:
There have been alot of infamous moments. The biggest in recents years going head to head with Mallick during ibill's tough times. My best and most helpful post in the past year would have to be
http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=558484

How do you think most people on GFY see you:
Brutally honest, hard working, passionate and sometimes a real loud whiny bitch

How many people on GFY have you met (in person:1orglaugh ):
100s

How many shows have you been to:
Maybe a dozen or so.

Most people who have met me and spent time with me would know I'm a very passionate and honest person. I think i'm a pretty good coach/motivator and love to help people improve their business.

What do you do offline for fun:
Not much these days. Play hockey once a week. Would love to boat and golf more.

What is the biggest amount of money you lost, to who, and how:
I've lost 6 figure amounts twice. Once about 6 years ago invested in something that was promising huge returns. Money disappeared. There is no such thing as fast money. The only thing that works for me is work my ass off and earn my money. All fast money sure things have failed for me. Off and Online.
btw the other 6 figure loss was ibill.

Do you spend what you make or save or reinvest it:
I spend very little of what i make. We reinvest heavily in our company and whatever is left over is invested wisely.

Are you currently looking to buy anything (content, traffic, etc..) explain:
Always looking for traffic, affiliates, content everything. More than anything I'm always interested in starting new business relationships. Just this month I started using AllAdultCash thanks to Aimee Sweet. We've been pushing it for about 10 days and it's been phenomenal. I love finding a new company to work with that fits in perfectly with what we currently have.

Then 1 of the owners asked my if I could build a livecam studio. Build the livestudio

crapped out. Private.com offered me a job instantly and I took it. Left after 18 months
because of a girl....yeah, yeah laugh....lol

Went back from Spain to Holland got asked to work for payserve.com as a sysadmin/coder.
Worked 4 years for them, built the livecam studios for them in Prague and Moscow. Started
VirtualXS Hosting / billing company with 2 friends/partners. Left after 2 years as I got
fed up with Holland once again and decided to move to Spain. Started adultmonkey.com one
of the first Paysite Review sites, sold it. Ran a Spanish Dialer program, made lots of money
invested it in an affiliate program with paysites. Got fucked out of my internet connection
and couldn´t get it back quick, at the time my wife was giving birth to our first son, I stepped
out of that project. Started a lounge bar / coffeeshop in Spain ran that for 2 years. Got
raided and busted a few times, did some time in a Spanish Jail for selling weed. Got fucked

Are you currently looking to buy anything (content, traffic, etc..) explain: Always looking for hard links in various niches.

For some reason I thought the same thing about both of you. Your still pups god am I old lol .

It would be great if there was a mandatory about me, read yours too great stuff you have done kudos to you. :)

I use to get the " wow you doing so well for your age, really mature and good with investing instead of spending your money" etc...

I USE to hear that back when i was 24,25 etc.. Don't hear that any more since I am 30. I guess most people should have grown up by their late 20's although reading GFY it looks like a lot of people missed the boat on that one.

It's always nice to come across the occasional young ambitious guy who is doing well. It is so easy to be disctracted at that age and to worry more about girls and going out then making money.

i call bullshit. you wouldn't have used the term 'ambush" if it was otherwize so. :2 cents:

ambushing yourself is kinda pointless - what you people are looking for is something like adultwhoswho.com - there you can post info abotu yourself.

ambushinterview is a roast - one where the person being ambushed cannot controll the questions being asked. ambushing one's self is like an ozymoron


contray to the popular belief of many morons on here - it's done not just by me but by the persons's friends and associates in the industry - an average ambush has questions from a MIN of 5 people close to them. most have 10+ people i draw questions from

bullshit on what?

that you think all of these "noname" people wanted you to interview them?

or

that you think I am trying to copy what you were doing? If you haven't noticed about 25 out of 30 of your questions are shit like " is it true you like to wear women's underware" etc. This thread is a chance for people to tell a little about themselves, their business, how they got started, what they do now, and what they are looking to purchase. We all know this is not an ambush as no one is put on the spot, and welcome to fill out the information only if they want to.

either way you are still an arrogant prick.

Adultwhoswho doesn't allow you to fill out a lot of info. It basically allows you to put your picture, give the name of your business, and pick which is your favorite drink. I like the site and have a profile there but I see it more of an adult social networking site that lets you add friends etc not a profile, about me, type page.

Other then me using the word "ambush" this thread has nothing to do with you. We know what an ambush interview is and that you do them. Like i said the name was used because people associate it with people giving info about themselves.

If you read my first post I said the stuff you do has a little too much blowing and ass kissing for my taste. I was looking to start something that everyone could tell a little about themselves, more in a business sense not " when did you first thing you were gay" etc... I wanted to do something where everyone could participate.

You think we are all nonames anyway, why are you still here ? move on please. don;t you have a drama lama to ambush ?

How Long in Adult: Since 2000... But got serious about it last February
How did you get started: Well I first started in 2000 when I was 17, I was looking for some porn sites to whack off to and I noticed the little "webmaster" link at the bottom of most sites so I clicked it. I created a bunch of free sites with geocities and made a few bucks. Then I went off to Job Corp., got my G.E.D., joined the Army, and forgot about this webmaster shit. Then one night last February me and my wife got into an argument and instead of telling her to go fuck herself I typed it into my browser, discovered this place and the rest is history.
What do you do/own to generate income: I just scored a gig as Marketing Director / Promoter for AffordableSiteDesign.com. Other than that I'm working on creating a network of online communities both adult and mainstream... I also make a killing from Adsense
How many hours do you work a week: I don't know... A Whole Lot!!!
Do you consider yourself successful: Nope... Not even close
Famous GFY moment: None Yet
How do you think most people on GFY see you: A noobie
How many people on GFY have you met (in person ): 0
How many shows have you been to: None yet, but it's probably better I don't go to avoid punching someone in the face
Good qualities about yourself: Determined, great sense of humor, not afraid to take a chance

Do you spend what you make or save or reinvest it: After bills, music, clothes... I try to invest and save the rest
Are you currently looking to buy anything (content, traffic, etc..) explain: nope, not right now...

why is it all the unsuccessful people always think i'm an asshole?

Unsucessful. LOL...

It all depends on how you define "success". If a successfull person to you is talking to 30 people and they all know the person, then no I am not sucessful.

If owning a program, throwing parties, or being well know by others defines sucess then I would say I am a nobody.

If generating over 18,000 signups a year, for the last several years. Or never have scammed or cheated anyone. Is not sucessfull to you then I am not sucessful either.

I wouldn't be surprised if I make more money then you and I know I do more realestate then you. But you just keep on thinking that everyone who doesn't like you is unsucessful.

you are not just an asshole but a moron. I think some dancing bananas need to be ambushed. carry on...

yep - unsucessful

you´re so full of yourself it´s funny......:1orglaugh

You´re a fat and insecure webmaster who despirately wants attentions and
wants to be cool....you try to buy attention and boost your ego by throwing
parties and inviting only the people of who you know will suck your dick.
The minute you stop that nobody will give a fuck about you and you know it.
Of course there´s exceptions.....like other webmasters who are in the same
situation those will stay keep telling you how great you are.

You run a good business and I´m sure you do very well......but the way
you present yourself and the attitude you display just to make yourself
feel better is funny and pathetic at most.

Now go ahead and tell me how jealous I am and that I´m just guttered that
I´m not as succesfull as you.....so that I can laugh some more.

:2 cents:

I'm just bumping this thread because I answered in it and have read some nice knowledge about posters on this board I would have never known.

In regard to the "ambush" drama above this post, it just shows how pathetic this business can be -- that a board persona and tinfoil friends can make one one an industry.

Note to myself and all the little kids out there reading: The masses are sheep, the majority are herders, the minority breed the herders and there are a select few who run it all under a thin veil of illusion of grandeur.

By the way - for those who posted their stuff, thanks... It's a pleasure to read, and I do appreciate the time you took to post the information.

Cheers and happy holidays, fuckers :)

hey sleazy dream i have no annoyance in ambush interviews but latley i read through the questions and there stuff like -
"so tell us about that night in atlanta where you had 7 vodkas"
"what happend on that private jet between you and lizzy8"
"in '99 did you ever drink 7 rums and tequlias and tell us about it if you did"

Could you go back to the old days where you ask more industry questions and webmaster related questions instead of primarily party questions please?
as us newbs who are interested in reading about the proffesions dont care if they got drunk at a party, but how they came to be recognised to have the privalage of being ambushed.

Because that is what it is all about with Sleazy. Who's blowing who, how cool you are. How many drinks you bought at the party. how many people know you, etc... He massagges people egos and they all "know him", so it makes him feel important.

I prefer to stick to business and relevant facts about people. What he is doing is more for entertainment, which is fine if you are into that. I wish there is someting we could do that would be informative and business related.

bump for some actually interesting and useful ambushes

i second that.

yep and another bump, come on people tell us about yourselfs.

I third that.. :thumbsup

anyone new?

I'm worthless, but it's Saturday, so perhaps someone out there isn't and wants to share.

Perhaps?

I won't bump this anymore other than this post.

I'd just like to know what people are up to.

Do we work in such a secretive business where it's a threat to let others know what you do?

In the short time I've frequented this board, there's a bunch of nicks with some funny colors, yet "what do they do?" questions always arise in my head. Thus the curiosity.

Just throw some shit down. That's all.

Ignore the "see sig" shit for a minute and throw it down. I have a hard time believing this industry is made up of paper-machet puppets. Please help me understand that there's people out there that aren't figure-heads who know nothing other than having bought a drink for someone else. I don't give a shit how many hookers you fucked our bought for others, but what you do, where you're from, etc.

How about it gets real for a minute?
