Nah, I was a Sales Engineer and lead tech over at Alpha Red. I resigned from there a few weeks back when accepted a position with Choopa.

Holy crap klaze! I thought for a minute you were on here defending us content producers from thieves. Turns out you were just looking to start drama! Why do I think that? Well just earlier today in a thread about Pornhub stealing content the original poster in that thread said this:
And then YOU replied with this:
So WHO are you again? I'm a little confused.

Bumping for,
http://www.thewho.info/images/790916TheWho.jpg

Free server to the first member of The Who that hits me up.

Free 1gbps for Neil Peart, LOL.

Damn TheDoc...I am a HUGE Who fan. The movie "The Kids Are Alright" has that concert footage near the end that is the best fucking live rock EVER. I missed out seeing those guys in 1982...never got a chance in the 70's when Moon was still alive (that would have been the shit) But I had tickets to see them in Orlando at the stadium and at the last minute my own band got a booking and I gave my tickets away to some friends :(
Regretted that ever since.

Ah. Ok. There's(was) a guy there very similar to the pic you roll in your sig.

That was in reference to Mutt verbally assaulting me on GFY for cracking a joke like everyone else does once in a while. It was meant as a joke.

Why do you continue to ask who I am? :1orglaugh Get over yourself and save your content from thieves.

He's of the mind that if he doesn't know you, you're not important...you're a nobody.

Gotcha. My avatar pic is one I took of an aloe vera plant, and my profile pic is me. :thumbsup

No I'm not. But I'm glad to see that you have some kind of omnipotent power to read my fucking mind. The reality is I'm sick to death of all the faceless, nameless surfers on here pretending to be in this business.

There are a few on here who ARE in the actual porn business. Then there are a few who ARE in the advertising of porn business.

And then there are a bunch of rude and obnoxious trolling surfers who like to create drama. I never said I had to KNOW anybody. I just asked him who he was. He's the guy who came in here with a hard on for Choopa.

So I was just curious who he is and what's his dog in the fight. Maybe he has none. Maybe it's just his opinion that Choopa is shit for hosting some of it's clients. I have no problem with that. It's a free country (sort of)

But why you want to jump on me too I don't know? Just more drama? Or did you have some kind of point? Or do you want to go to message board war with me or something? LOL

Damn bro, is that all the fuck that half of you guys are good for around here? How about all of you get your asses to work and make some money. I'm sitting here posting because I have my main work station rendering avi to mpeg4 h.264 and uploading to my server.

I've been in the midst of changing over from .wmv to encrypted streaming to STOP my stuff from being on tubes and torrents. So it gives me a little time while my machine is using up damn near all of it's resources. I can run up here to my other machine and work on queing up galleries for my tgps and post here on good ol' friendly gfy.

By the way, if you could take a second from being so fucking hostile...what is a candyflip? Is it coke and x together? I can't remember.

I'm sick of hearing your monologue about how YOU work in the adult industry. If I had a dollar for every time i've read it i'd be ...

You went on a fucking 10 page thread rant the other month about how you are never going to let TubeSites steal from you.

and hear I am trying to get this sales idiot to understand what his company is doing and you are just spewing yer BS about posers... While Tubesites profit from your content..

and you say you are confused.

You and yer fucking ego have me confused.

Whatever klaze. You obviously are not in the biz. So you're b.s. holds no weight here. And yes I did do something about my content getting stolen. So I guess you didn't read a damn thing. But that's cool. As I said earlier...reveal yourself. What the fuck do YOU do in this business? Where are the sites that you own? Who do you do business with? The silence is deafening.

Oh, wait a minute that's not silence....that's you attacking me for asking who you are. Ok. I'm the bad guy somehow. But at least people know who I am when I speak on something. (not saying I'm "important") But you? You hide. I've dealt with a few of your kind on here already. You're easy to spot. You don't own anything. You don't do anything. Yet you come on here and pontificate about shit that you aren't involved in.

If I am mistaken, then please accept my apologies. All you gotta do is say who the hell you are. If not...then fine. I'll just kick back with everybody that is reading this and KNOW that you're bullshitting your way through.

Ok, What BS?

I dunno why you think you'd know me I will never have anything to do with milf / mature content.

See you're doing exactly the same thing here by questioning my name here. It's a nickname on a message board. Anyhow, you seem to be the know it all, so I'll let you figure it out for yourself.

Newsflash, just because you don't know someone and they're not spamming their shit in every thread, doesn't mean that they're not part of this industry or their input isn't valid.

Are you as much of a douchebag in real life? :1orglaugh

Bro, why don't you just back the fuck up. Milf content has NOTHING to do with anything. I asked you what you do. I work with everybody. I"m an affiliate with everyone for years and years. What do you do? I only asked you that in the beginning because you came in here with a hard on. Then you called someone an idiot. I take offense to shit. If you're somebody in our business then cool. Go ahead, bust balls. But if you're some fucking surfer then you have no business trying to tell the people that make a living at this about our business. That's all I'm saying. And the more you won't answer....the more I know the answer.

Hey candyflip my last post was to klaze by the way. And no I'm not a douchebag. But thanks for insulting me. Very disrespectful. And yes, I was really asking about your nick. I can't remember what a candyflip is. Damn you're a hostile mofo

Dude I have nothing to do with milf content I have no reason to do business with you or even talk to you.

I'm sure you have worked with everyone in the industry you are a popular guy.

What I can get from you I can get from a lot of other people in this industry.

This is a webmaster forum, I am a webmaster. :thumbsup I am the master of my domains. :winkwink:

God I hate it when people ask me "Who are you?" "What do you do" when it comes to qualifying my opinion on something as common sense as tube sites.

Don't put words into my mouth I never called anyone in this thread an idiot.

You asked me what I do and who I am to try and shut me up, discredit me, etc.

It was an attack.

It's like yer taking this as.. because you said "congrats" any hit on Choopa is a personal attack on you.. The adult / hosting industry DOES NOT revolve around you. :)

What are you taking offense to exactly?

Me damning Choopa for hosting REDTUBE and this Sales guy's very poor response to Karupted_Charles?

Or

Me a nobody talking about YOUR adult industry. :1orglaugh

Sorry but I believe every post I made in this thread until you got involved was to a SALES GUY from a hosting company.

NOT anyone who owns websites or produces content.

So I dunno wtf you are going off on..

Your pill is cool

klaze, all I'm asking is are you in this business or not? And if so what do you do? You obviously signed up for GFY a couple of months ago, which means you wanted to reach out to others in your business.

As far as you calling someone who actually IS in this business an "idiot" you only have to scroll up this page to find:
That's just plain disrespect. I don't know this guy. He's a new guy at choopa with credentials of past employment. Yet, here you are...calling him a "sales idiot". How the fuck do you do that?

And since you keep babbling about milf content...how would that have ANYTHING to do with what business you and I could conduct IF you were in this business? That's the kind of talk that exposes you as not being in the business.

Both KaruptedCharles AND the guy from Choopa have every right to go at it tooth and nail if they so choose. I only asked who you were because you came into this thread like you ran the fucking place.

Reality? You don't own a site. You don't create content. IF you do any "marketing" it damn sure ain't from sites you own and traffic you built up over the years.

That was my point. And as I said earlier...if you just have an opinion about something, that's cool. But to come in here talking like you really have a dog in the fight when you don't isn't cool.

I'm sorry my friend. But I am very passionate about my work and this business. And I'll be right there jumping on the ass of my own kind as quick as anybody else. But ain't no outsiders gonna do it. And if you are in this biz, I would do the same thing for you in a fucking heartbeat.

To hell with arguing with klaze...I want to say that you have one helluva an awesome domain there Supz How damn much is a 4 character domain going for these days? You have a nice item with that name.

You two need to fuck and get it over with.

I'd hit it. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Dude this forum is pretty boring to a surfer. Somebody that doesn't have a special interest in adult would NEVER chill here more than you.

I prefer GFY over the other adult forums.

Oh yah fuck HAHA. I called the sales idiot an idiot.

Easy. I read his responses to this thread and I know the history of Choopa.

Expose me? Oh brother..

Listen if I was just a surfer would I be bashing tube sites? THINK for 1 second. PLEASE.

Ok? I stated in the post that I dont have content or kids. :1orglaugh

But I do own domains which have sites on them. :winkwink:

I have an opinion, period.

Your own kind?

This sales idiot is not your own kind you even said yourself you don't know him or met him.

I am more your kind than he is that's for damn sure.



So Robbie are you going to continue to host with Choopa after finding out they support illegal tube sites?

Why not host with someone that feels the same way you do about illegal tubes?

Have you checked the views of yer vids on tube sites and done the math on how many sales you *could* have lost?

Robbie we have to find something more constructive for you to do when rendering . lol

Sad.....

I know...but it's too damn much fun outing surfers like klaze for what they are. :1orglaugh
Plus it's like therapy for me. I'm bored as shit.

Now to address the surfer known as klaze's last statement...Yes, I am hosting my shit at Choopa. I said so earlier. The reason I am at Choopa is from a reccomendation from my friend Clement at Deluxe Pass.

When I began hosting there, I didn't even know what a "tube" was. Do I wish they would shut any illegal tube site they have on there down? Yes I do Mr. Surfer.

Am I going to pull out of the best deal I can get on 15 terrabytes a month and direct contact to get any problems fixed in minutes and complete control of my own boxes? No I will not Mr. Surfer.

I can think of a million things to do with the money I'm saving..such as help my grandfather who is in his 80's, take care of my kids, etc. etc.

I'll tell you what Mr. Surfer...when you start running your own business and have a family and employees with families that all depend on you to bring home the bacon, then you preach to me. In the meantime I can't take you seriously. I don't know who you are or what you do. For all I know you COULD be a major pimp in the biz. Or maybe you're some blogger making a few sales here and there, or maybe you are some teenage kid in your bedroom.

I just don't know. Who's fault is that? I simply asked who you are and what you do. And you haven't answered yet. So I can't even say: "Hey Klaze, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were in the same biz as me. How's it goin' man? Let's talk in private and make some money"

You took that opportunity away from me. And the only reason I can think of is that you aren't in this biz. Otherwise, please tell this community that you joined who you are and what you do. We'd all love to meet you.

Fucking expensive!

I have had this domain since about 1996, have no idea what it would go for. I've been trying to get an idea. Anyone have an idea?

You are bonkers.

Robbie, I don't get the hostility. Does everyone need to wear a nametag with their daily duties on it to be considered "in the industry"? The guy says he runs sites, I don't see what else you are looking for from him.

You're right. Fuck it. I guess I went off because originally this is what I said to him:
And that was all I said. Even with a friendly smile. This was klaze's reply:
And yeah, I'd like to know who I'm talking to. That's just the way I am. A guy is on GFY to do what? Either promote or find something to promote. That requires people knowing who you are so they can deal with ya. That's all I was saying. I felt that klaze was being hostile to me just for asking who he was.

But to hell with it. If you say klaze is in the business, then I'll go with it too.

Welcome to GFY klaze. I'd still like to know who you are and what you do. I pretty much can make money with anybody doing anything in this business. Maybe we can make a dollar or two as well. If I could I would reach out across the internet and virtually shake your hand. Good enough?

Wow, I don't think I could have possibly imagined that a simple introductory/deal thread would have gone along this tangent.

I'll keep this to the point, because I don't want this to continue as it has been going. I did not come here to defend tubes or start drama with anyone, though it seems GFY has a particularly acute preponderance for such things. Additionally, anyone who knows me, or takes the time to do so will find that I am nothing that can be described as a 'sales idiot'.

I am an honest person and employee of a company I believe to be led by a bright and intrepid team, whose products I am proud to sell. I won't lower myself by explicating here too much, but suffice to say - Choopa maintains a level of honesty and commitment to their clients that I cannot claim is shared among some other companies I know of.

I understand the sensitivity of tubes, and the threat they pose to the profitability of paysites also, so my position is not to be mistaken for apathy or naivete - I choose not to take sides here.

Finding out who hosts tubesites is not a difficult task, so my respect for the privacy of our clients should not impede your research as to who hosts who. Anyone who feels compelled to refuse to do business with any company that hosts or otherwise has a business relationship with a tubesite is of course free to do so.

If anyone ever wants to ask me anything at all, please feel free to do so. There is no question I will shy away from, only excepting the respect of the privacy of our clientele.
My contact info is in my sig, and is there to be used.

I hope this helps make it clearer to those who don't already know me, that I'm forthcoming and professional. If not, then GFY. :)

I don't think those are the only reasons to come here. Some come for shits, others come for info. Sure GFY has a lot of noise, but if you want to get the dirt on a program not paying out or doing something shady, this is the first place you'll see it posted. I've come across some people that I've done business with here, but I think the biggest advantage the board has had is the ability to find dirt on companies before investing time and money into them.

robbie i have never met you, but i am pretty sure i met claudia a few internexts ago. i have tried to get a read on you and thus far i think overall your intentions are well placed. what i have an issue with is your constant asking of what people do in this business and your multiple posts trying to belittle people and accusations that just because you dont know someone then they muct not be in the business.

i cant speak for everyone here, but i can say that through my personal experiences that a lot of people that post here actually are in the business and in several cases, they make a decent living. Whether affilates or small program owners, some people here choose to keep a low profile.

i used to attend every show in the US dating back to 2001/2002. if i posted my name here, a lot of people would say that they either know me or have met me. as far as i am concerned, my business is my business. in that past i have worked with a lot of the most well known companies in adult and have done well with some and not so well with others.

when i do business with a company, i contact the owner, not affiliate reps. if i cant speak with the owner directly, i wont do business..

i have also spend 10's of thousands of dollars on content and services with quite a few people here and made a lot of money for several sponsors here over the years.

what does all this mean? nothing. i am just stating a fact that not all the palyers in the adult business post regularly on gfy, attend trade shows, or feel the need to discuss what exactly what they do in this business.

i agree that there are a lot of bullshitters and drama starters on gfy, but there are also a lot of good people here that take this business as serious as you do.

why miss a business opportunity with someone just because you havent met them at a tradeshow?

you can take this post for what its worth and formulate your own opinion, but if i were you i would settle down on the constant challenging of people just because they disagree with you or rub you the wrong way.

this is a public forum and half the fun is weeding through the bullshit...

these days i mostly come her to bust peoples balls and amuse myself, but if i need something business related, GFY is my first stop....

Hi Robbie, why all the hate and anger? Many of your posts are hostile and it seems your ego is sometimes out of control. E.g. in this thread you said that the owners of removeyourcontent.com are "your boys". Do you really own those people, or was it the pimphand acting up?

I am sure you are a nice person, when you are not under the influence of steroids. This drug is not as harmless as you think. Your aggressiveness proves it! Relax man, for the sake of everybody.

http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showpo...74&postcount=8

Btw, before you even get started with your counter-attacks. I have no obligation to tell you, or anyone else, who I am or what I do. Those important people I do business with know who I am.

Chill down, don't let the steroids take control of you. :2 cents:

Marketsmart I'm not talking about a tradeshow. I have no idea why that is in your mind at all. When I ask someone what they do...I want an answer. That's all. I get to "know" people by doing business and talking on the phone with them. If a person comes on here and starts spouting off like they are an expert on something then it catches my interest. At that point I want to know who this "expert" is and what they have done to qualify their opnion. And if they are for real I may want to do business. That's all. And if they don't have a clue in real life I like to hand them their ass and show everyone just how much that person's opinion doesn't count. Maybe you're right and it don't matter. But as I said, I'm pretty passionate about what I do.

And unless it was internext from 6 or 7 years ago you didn't meet Claudia-Marie. We stopped going in '02 up until internext '08 The only 2 internexts' that Claudia-Marie had attended before '07 was one in 2001 when we had her as our bartender in our suite party at the Venetian when we threw our Strictly Hosting party (before we sold it to National Net). And the only other one she attended was in '02 which was the year that Sleazy's TGP dinner did the helicopter rides around Vegas (remember, I'm from the TGP side of the business also) So it must of been some other big boob blonde lol

Zypher that is the most stupidest and funniest shit. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh
Now go fuck yourself and your "important" people. And you're right I don't give a shit who you are. What you just posted shows me that. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

And yeah, calling removeyourcontent my boys was just an endearing term because they've been doing a good job. :pimp

I am sure there is plenty of people on this board that you don't know Robbie. If you don't know them it doesn't mean they are surfers or some small time webmasters. I am sure that there are quite a few people on GFY that don't post a lot and don't have URLs in their sig, etc, but still made millions in this industry and have been working in this industry for many, many years. Maybe they just don't want everyone to know who they are.

Back on topic.
I currently have 4 servers at Choopa and I have always been very happy with them and their support. I am actually thinking of moving more stuff there soon.

You can not have your cake and eat it also. Either you support them sell to them and host them or you Don't. Many hosting companies have taken a stance against such sites in order to support the paysites they host. You choose to accept the bottom feeders and thieves which is very much your stance and contradicts your honesty as you are, as you said proud to be a part of a company that is indirectly raping all the content owners on this board.

At least be like brazzers and the other thieving bastards and admit you don't care about ethics or our industry your not honest and you just care about making a dollar no matter who it hurts.

Konda, I never said that if I didn't know someone that they sucked or anything like that. You're reading what the trolls are trying to define what I'm saying. All I have ever said is that IF somebody is going to run into a thread and start acting disrespectful to people whom we all know work in this business in some capacity, and the person who is doing this is a faceless, nameless nickname with no credentials at all...well, then I ask them "Who are you and what do you do?"

I would do the same thing in real life if someone came up to you and started berating you about this business, I would ask them what qualifies them to do that. I NEVER said I had to "know" anybody. I HAVE said that I DO know a lot of people. And a lot of people I do not know. But I damn sure know OF a lot of people.

Damn that confused me, and I just wrote it. LOL

But I have never said that I had to meet people in person at a tradeshow. That is what others are putting in my mouth. I DO however, enjoy meeting people in the business at a show.

Does that clear up any misconception?

What I'd like to know is...why are people questioning me for asking someone who they are after that person comes in here and starts talking in definitive terms? Doesn't anybody else wonder who it is that they are talking to? And if not...then what is the point of the forum? Just for trolls?

Robbie I know none of this has been directed at me but if I may interject you can come off a bit rough. Before you and I went back and forth in several threads I thought you were a bit hostile but now I think its just the difference between spoken and written word. I also would like to say I get where you are coming from to many people on here really have no business here. Weeding them out and limitng conversations to actual industry people would be awesome but is often hard to do for several reasons. Your intentions are good just the method of filtering may rub some the wrong way. It's just my :2 cents:

If I may say though with you being a supporter of removeyourcontent as we are. As well as you being so outspoken on topics like tubes theft and shady practices does this reps choices and actions not offend you as a program owner?

We seam to have gotten way off track that a company that was banned here for some time who is obviously a supporter of content thieves is looking for business here and your saying great job guys I host there does that not sound a bit off track for you?

If Choopa is offering in a public forum tris deal:
First off, here are our current unmetered specials!

Core2Duo E6750 / 4GB / 2x 300GB 15k SAS (raid-1)

OR

Xeon 3210 / 2GB / 2x 500GB SATA (raid-1)

w/25mbps = $425/mo


Why I am paying $500 for that bw but a very old server? I have been cliet for more than 4 years.

If Choopa is going to overcharge cliets, don´t make it public, so I don´t feel so stupid...

Charles, as I said in an earlier reply on here....Do I wish they did not host tube sites. YES. Do I have the right to tell them what or how to do business? No.

Can I choose to take my business elsewhere in a sense of moral outrage? Yes.

When I first went to Choopa it was over a reccomendation from Clement at Deluxe Pass. I was also going through a (at the time) bitter business breakup with my ex-business partner. I needed to move my servers away quickly and quietly.

Clement put a word in for me and David G. spoke with me, set me up, made it seamless and gave me the best deal I've ever had on hosting. Since that time, my business has grown and grown. Added boxes. Upgraded boxes. Upgraded bandwidth. And each time the guys at Choopa worked with my employees to make the transitions go smooth as silk. No downtime.

Granted, a lot of that has to do with the fact that we have root on our box and I have the very best guy that used to work for us at Strictly Hosting still on my payroll. So I'm able to accomplish things that some others might have to rely on their host to do for them.

But the guys at Choopa have treated me real well. I didn't even know or care about RedTube until I saw it being talked about here on GFY.

Yes, it irks me that they are hosting it. No, I'm not going to go through the hell of moving all my sites to another hosting company over that.

Let's see...if I did that, I'm looking at a possibly not so seamless transition (depending on the hosting company), NEVER being able to get the kind of deal I'm getting now with a 15 TB a month package, and possibly running into a situation where we are denied root.

Since I HAVE taken steps to protect my stuff from tubes and torrents, that kind of move would be a horrible scenario.

For instance, I'm running the Adobe Flash Server (which I bought and installed on my box to allow me to run my shit in encrypted streams to prevent the tubes from getting it), I'm running so many crons and automated scripts that do a thousand little things that I can't even remember them all. Can you imagine what moving would do to all of that?

And Charles, the only people I have come off rough to are people who have disrespected me in some way...and yet don't even have the balls to say who they are or what they do. And "no"...you know I'm not asking them their "real" names. When I say "who are you", I'm thinking someone will reply: "I'm the guy that owns xxxxxxxx.com" Or "I run some TGP's" or "I work with X affiliate program" Or "I have a few blogs" or "I submit galleries" or just SOMETHING to do in this business.

And I don't look down on anybody. I don't care if you are just starting out. Hell, I've helped countless people in the past who were just starting out and I linked them up. Now a few of them are "somebody". I know that shit pays off.

Look back at the people I've been "rough" on. Everyone of them has been a person who has zero credentials. And everyone of them were running their dick-skinners at people that really are in this business...including one of your last posts where some keyboard warrior went off on you and I said something to him as well.

Anyway, I hope you understand what I'm talking about and my position on hosting with Choopa. My bottom line is that they have always been there when we needed any support at any hour. And when there were things that had to be done in the NOC and couldn't be done remotely they were on top of it 100%.

And if I told you the price I'm paying for 15 TB a month and the machines I have in the rack you would be shocked.

Remember...I have one tech and one graphics guy. I do EVERYTHING else myself. I work my ass off on 3 TGP's with around 500 affiliate programs...PLUS I do all the work on the paysite: casting, writing, directing, filming, editing, rendering, uploading, building the site, doing support...

Maybe if I had a staff of people and some inner need to spend more money and create headaches for my non-existent staff....then I would feel obligated to move all my shit to a more expensive and perhaps less responsive host. But as I said....I had no idea about what a tube site even was when I first went over to choopa in Nov. of 2006. To sidetrack my entire business (and God only knows the nightmare of NATS if I changed hosts) for any length of time...even a few days, would cost me a lot of money.

Wow I'm not quoting that cause this page is long enough already :helpme

I said I get you and were youa re coming from. Second I was not saying you need to change just letting you know as somebody that has seen you post here for a long time and who in general enjoys reading your opinion on things as well as your help with the troll not long ago that even I can see how you come off a bit rough.

On a side note I appreciate the new vocab word "dick-skinners" I never heard that one before. Also I can appreciate your desire not to move as it can be hard to find the right home. What I can tell you is from experience and many moves prior to my move to nat net 7 years ago things have changed a lot and getting the deal you need with the support that is necessary is not as hard as it used to be thanks to a handful of very qualified hosts.

Nats, crons, root access, and any other issues you may have would not be as hard as you think to manage. Downtime sucks for anyone and in our business is a no no the few quality hosts left in this sector know that and can work around any issues as well as give you plenty of time to test the waters and make sure it works before going live.

At the very least I appreciate your answer to my questions and your honesty also. To bad the rep in here cant admit what he is doing and the part he plays in it.

Yeah "dick-skinners" is a good one LOL

After doing some research, Choopa is Deluxe Pass If you do some research you can find out all sorts of dirt on them.:2 cents:

Really? I didn't know that. I've known Clement for a few years. Deluxe Pass was based in France. And all his guys were in Paris. But I know that they have been with Choopa for many, many years. And I know that Clement moved to the U.S. a couple of years ago as well. Maybe they are?

I know that Clement is one of the smartest guys I know. When I first met him at Internext back in 2000 or 01, he was only 21 years old or so. And I had already made over a million with him on Deluxe Pass then. I was kinda thinking:"Wow, I can't even imagine what I would do with the kind of money this kid is making at that age"

I would have OD'ed on drugs and whores. But he was clean cut and pretty much straightedged and had so many great ideas it blew me away.

Agreed, Clement is a stand up guy.

Wow damn right you can I just found this one hope they cleared this up.
