I have a LOT of faith in Lensman
 

I usually only book 2 or three nights for a conventinon, hell I RARLY if ever stay more then 3 nights for internext..........

I'm staying 4 nights for the GFY convention in LA.

Sweet! I'll probably drive up a couple nights!

You've been attending a lot of conventions this year Sleazy. I need to catch up a little :)

WG

WG,

is it true that Canadian law only allows you to claim for the cost of 3 conferences a year that are business related?

nope - one could be on the road constantly.

great write off

Kind of. According to the Canadian Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA -- our IRS), we have a maximum of 2 conventions per year we can attend that are business related. This claim is substantiated here: http://www.ccra-adrc.gc.ca/E/pub/tp/...it131r2-e.html

The idea to get around this is to claim other expenses as educational or training. For example, Internext is clearly a convention. The upcoming show in LA can be considered educational since you're attending sessions to educate yourself of the industry changes.

There's a few other loopholes that CCRA is fucking me on like Island Gathering. Apparently you can only attend conventions within the territorial scope of your business and since I have no sponsors based in Curacao they denied my expense. I'm fighting their bullshit claims in court, so I'll let you know how it goes...

WG

Damn the dude i spoke to said it was three 'legally' turns out he was wrong and it is actually two, that must suck.

Thanks for clearing it up for me :thumbsup

Sleazy... I'm not dancing with you & that's FINAL!!!

No problem. This claim is really tricky to play with as well since there's no clear definition of what is a convention. Different dictionaries have different interpretations and its tough to tell what's a business meeting and a convention. I'm about to get very intimate with these CCRA motherfuckers in the upcoming few weeks. $20,000 in legal fees and rising so far. Fucking nuts, not that I'm bitter or anything...

WG

Thanks Sleazy, it's gonna be a great event. The registrations so far have been tremendous. The I hope everyone else can make it.

You know he spams cp right?

conventions - marketing, business meetings, etc. they are legal ways around it

I'm really excited about this event, I have never been to LA before and I have always wanted to visit.

DH

bann this fucking little crap please lens. that was TOTALLY and COMPLETELY uncalled for.

Agreed...he is really pushing his luck with this shit.

I hope you have a good attorney kid, because you're treading on serious ground here.

DH

Yup... unfortunately any gathering i called a convention and its too late to change that for 2000 - 2002 so I'm gonna have to pay for it there. From this year forward, everything is a business meeting... the cost of learning... Either way, the Island Gathering one is really bothering me since they won't recognize it and a few other GST problems, hopefully this shit will be out of the way so I can get back to work in a few weeks...

WG

I was fucking kidding. Shoulda just said spam.


the cp part was over the edge, sorry.

Is that what you call edgy comedy?!

Hi Sleazy,

I ment you at the Webmaster Summit in Vancouver last Friday. I was there because I live in Seattle and it was only a 2.5 hour drive and I was already planning to attend SEGuru's SEO seminar any way. I stayed over for a day to meet some of the webmasters before driving home.

I had lots of fun and made some good contacts, but I'm not in the "adult" biz. I'm just looking for webmasters who have gambling or mainstream traffic that might convert for our online bingo site.

I'm wondering if it would be worth my time to come to convention in LA, or will it be strictly "adult" oriented and not very productive for me?

You don't kid about shit like that.People have been sued over that,it is called defamation of character .And being on a BBS making a remark like that is grounds for a lawsuit.

yes , I am so encouraged to go

:winkwink:

yes.

I've NEVER spammed in my life either - I know lots of big spammers too - ask them, I'm not in that game at ALL in ANY capasity.

I said I was KIDDING.

as in...your not a spammer or cp promoter..................

You don't say alot shit on bbs.

:winkwink:

AHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

that ISN'T something you even CONSIDER kidding about.


you don't DESERVE to be here on GFY.

I'm asking to have you banned from this place, and if that doesn't work I'll get lens or eric drunk in LA and get some compromising photos on then to use to bribe them to get you banned.

you're on borrowed time.

wow, someone has a deathwish.

Christ Grogan,

Even joking about stuff like this is extremely serious. Scott does not spam and would not be caught in a million years anywhere near CP or anyone who would deal with that shit.

Think next time about what you say before you say it.

DH

Hope you remember that and laugh at the judge that way when someone drains your so called huge bank account .

I'm not sure if he was saying Sleazy or I spam CP.

Either way, don't let the door...

Good call :thumbsup

thanks lens. this place is better off without that IDIOT here.

Just call yourself an idiot and go to bed.

this is a repeat:


Damn 5 minute rule. The see, pee part was uncool and I said so.


Not like pedos aren't allowed to lurk here regarless.


Take the "sorry" or go to hell, I can't edit the post.

NICE Lensman, Thank you :D
WG

kinda harsh....he's obviously a clown so I wouldn't ban him for that after he appoligised and ashiat

that's like saying it's ok for a company to give their client list to acacia if they apoligise after doing so.

let me put it this way - I could forgive making coin in time.

i won't EVER forget what grogan said. EVER.
