pathfinder, seriously, give it a rest. 100 percent retired. lol. weren't you going to kill yourself when the pain got too bad (or something along those lines) a month ago? do us all a favor.
you do not have a single friend here. you've never met anyone here in person, and no one gives a shit about you. you are an idiot, and a pathetic attempt at threadjacking/trolling (the younger dudes are much better). i would feel bad for you, if you weren't such a anti-social, sociopath.
sigh. my last response to you in this thread. have another drink.we'll miss you our friend. RIPComment

yeah, it sucks. i had to pay it for the rest of my internet business life. pretty major fuck over. lost quite a bit of money over it. heh, don't really like talking about it lol. in the end, you live in a country like Canada, you deal with the bullshit, in the end, no one gets out alive.we'll miss you our friend.

Just out of curiosity, I see that your main site domain (i think) seems dead. With all of the thousands of old gallery links out there, why not at least have the domain redirecting to an affiliate link within that niche?"WTF, on google you can find the answer to every question in human history, EXCEPT how to convert cams..
Its crazy..."

His was a rare story indeed - if you joined his site, you'd see that you never got fucked, your cancel was respected, your info was not sold/leased to anyone else. He had a clean site and clean practices. The thing is - the bigger programs were already too far into the shadier processes and used to the income that came from it to change. Just goes to show though that even in a world of rich 'shady' people - one clean person could still make it and make it big. Also, if my memory serves (and quiet can correct me on this) - I don't think he had many sites - I think he only had one (perhaps 2 but this wasn't some program with 20-100 paysites).
quiet - the question I have is, by the time iBill died, you could have had so many other billing options put into place, why did you choose to just let it die with it? **Over the course of a few months, you could have had your users 'choosing' to switch over to the new biller, right?**Comment

Hey Quiet. I've always been a huge fan of yours. Not many people do it the way you did it.
You came in.
Did it 100% clean.
Made your money
Got out.
There are so few that do it like that. You came in and made it on your terms and left on your terms. I've always had huge respect for you. Great post and great answers
I also have to say thanks for your posts back in the day. They were always a huge motivation. They re-enforced the idea that a paysite that is built on delivering a quality product and treating the customer the right way is viable in this industry. Back before visa regulations were imposed there were VERY few companies that had the balls to do that. Thanks to guys like you, Karups and ATK we followed a business model that suited us well and helped us really kick ass. Thanks!Comment

Still enjoying this thread
Every time I have a beer at Dusty's I tell my friends about this guy that posts on this message board...Comment

Awsome thread.
"quiet", must be one of the few old timers and GFY members that is highly looked up for so many different reasons.
Now the real question is, do you still have a 911T? j/k lolComment

Very inspirational thread. You seem cool and down to earth. Congrats on your well deserved success.Comment

Were you ever audited (aside from your GST issue)?
I imagine making that kind of money would raise some flags for Revenue Canada. If so how did it go?Comment

The thing I always admired about Quiet was that in spite of all his success and growing income, and this goes right back even to his early years, he never allowed it to go to his head, never came on the boards and lorded it over anyone, and never let it turn him into an arrogant elitist prick like it did a lot of others from that time. He's always posted the same way as the same guy.
That's a rare thing in any business but especially this one.Promote Wildmatch, ImLive, Sexier.com, and more!!

Quiet, I've always wondered how come you never left Canada for a sunny and tax free destination to spend 6 months of your life in and then snowboard the Alps, Andes or Rockies the other 6. Friends, family, comfort? You probably financed half of the Olympics cost on your own...

hehe, cheers girl. i have just never had (or wanted) to fuck people over. it was easy (well, maybe not exactly easy)... to produce a quality product, and push the fuck out of it. crank it out as far as it would go. that was the basic philosophy behine UWS. i had 3 paysites over the 10 years, but really, the only one that matters was UWS. ultrawired.com forwarded to UWS by around 2000.we'll miss you our friend.

no problem man, don't mind answering in public (and i think this is someone i might know on a personal level hehe). i love Canada, and everything it has to offer. i am addicted to downhill biking, and snowboarding, and there really is nowhere esle in the world that offers both, world class. that is pretty much the only thing holding me in Canada.i love traveling, and eave the western hemisphere every year for a min of 3 months, max of 6 months.

great tale quiet. congrats fellow canuck!Comment

I've seen the pics
I usually stay at First Tracks Lodge, although this year I'll probably go to Colorado and skip the olympic frenzy. Sucks because it'll be the first time I won't hit whistler in about 14 seasons.
The single and only reason I miss living in Canada

missed this. basically, i was burnt out (i pretty much missed all of my 20's working in my office at several computers, 13-14 hours a day, for years and years), so it a good excuse to just close shop. yeah, i could have made it go on, but just didn't feel the motivation, and wanted to finally start really traveling and getting myself back into shape. having time to read an actual book. things like that

yep, i'm skipping the olympics too. going to be pretty retarded. i'm buying a new place closer to the village (as much as i love creekside, this place is far larger, and way easier access for downhill biking, which i actually enjoy more than snowboarding (please god, don't strike me down) now. i'll still head to creekside for snowboarding in the winter. i have one of those treasured priority passes that lets you bypass the lines and go in the ski school line, for both the creekside gondola, as well as the red chair. myself and up to 3 other people
sucks you aren't coming up at all though...we'll miss you our friend. RIPComment
