          Everyone who had a paysite mailed or did shitty things with joins back then. Thats basically what i was talking about. I wasn't talking about you specifically but just in general. If you ran a tight clean ship and were that successful, awesome. Its a very rare thing.

            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?**

              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!

                  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 lol

                      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?

                        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.

                          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...

                            quiet did it 100% clean unlike some people - i'll admit though you did a nice job raping Dion the guido from Redlight District to build up bank to start a legitimate program.
                            I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!
