Who do you owe for your success so far? Who deserves a big Thank you?
 

Who went that extra mile for you, and did it many times? Whether it was teaching you everything you know about traffic or what ever.

It doesnt even have to be work related. How about that special person or people you go to on icq or other favorite message service to ease the stress of a long day? Some one who always listens and patiently sits there and allows you to let off steam.

Dont let your special people go another day without knowing how much they are appreciated.

LONG POST ALERT! LONG POST ALERT!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I already expressed my feelings for Steve and Marie.


The next person I need to thank is Melloman. After Steve and Marie, Melloman was the next one that helped me. Way back when I had frontpage, i would go to him about 5 times a day. Not once did he ever refuse to help.

Melloman, not only were you always there for me, you also gave me encouragement to continue. Thank you!

There are some others I owe a thank you to from back then, but they are no longer around.

That brings me to the present.

Mr Izzz, Izzy buddy! You are always willing to help out. Where others have ignored my stupid questions, you have been there to answer them. You are also a tremendous relief from my depression. Not only have you helped me with my work, you have also helped me with life. For that, you have earned my gratitude for life. Thank you!

Gabe, in the beginning you provided excellent support. Today it is a joy to have our late night silly conversations. Nights can be tough, and as a good friend, you are there to make them easier. Thank you!

Tala Tala Tala! You are someone who has most defenatly, with out a doubt, gone that extra mile for me. Unknowingly to me, while you walked me through every step on photoshop, you were also going through a horrible time with your relationship. I dont know what to say. To put your own severe personal problems aside just to help me? Wow, a simple Thank you just doesnt seem enough. Thank you!

Pornguy, Its nice to know you will always be around for a good laugh and a helping hand. Youre really helping me more than you know. Thank you!

Fusionx, like I tell you on icq, thank you is becoming a commonly used word that I hope does not get over played. Thank you!

Abyss Al, you are a fountain of information. I can come up with some off the wall whacky questions sometimes, and you always have an answer. You are also around day or night when I need a good laugh. Thank you!

Bad Dog, Last but certainly not least! You have given me something I have not had in at least a year. You have given me hope. I was thinking about quitting before I spoke to you. Now, with your expert tutelage and inspiration, for the first time, I honestly believe that I will finally be able to not only succeed in this business, but will also be able to take care of my family. Thank you!

sixnine and Q'on from On Probation..when ( hit it rich im breakin em both off :)

Hmm, I really don't know how to answer this one.

I mean, sure, there were the people who got me into the business, and those that have given me pointers along the way, but none of that has been anything more than just a moderately helpful stranger - the kind of person who might make a serious post in your thread. Yeah, I know them a bit better than that, but in the classic sense, they haven't "been there" for me in this biz.

A lot of people, when they get started out, will meet others that make all the difference in success or failure. It really is special to have someone to help get you started, tell you when you do something stupid and learn the hard way, etc etc.

Making me write fat checks to you will be thanks enough :thumbsup . . . but you are welcome.

I would like to thank goodgirl for coming along at just the right time. No question about it.

I would also like to thank all the affiliates of Sex Pictures Pass, and clients of Got Web Host, Pimps Promo and Content Shopper

All the Supra, Viper, Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc owners motivate me to work harder to make more money to make my Civic faster to bury them all.

Oh yeah, I also thank my parents for giving me some really fucked up priorities.

YARGH! Paul Bakir & Cyberage Dave indirectly.

I suppose teaching me how to shoot a lot of thanks should go to Steve Colby and John Mason.

For keeping me from retiring and giving me the greatest time of my life both professionally and personally that goes to Eva Markham.

my girlfriend.
She worked a regular job so I could invest ALL my porn income into my projects and grow, while she supported me :)

me, myself and I, thanks

Thank you :) Definitely great timing for both of us :)

I should be thanking AaronM. I'm not sure why exactly. I just remember in my first week of talking with baddog, him mentioning AaronM pointing me out to him.

So thanks Aaron :)

this is a tough one...

First... my partners:
Abyss_vee - no way on hell I would be where I am today without him. His attitude and drive to reach the top is enough fuel... even though i'm a bit on the lazy side...
wargames - I feel like i've known you as long as vee.. i've learned soo much from you and have so much confident in your ideas and marketing... i agree to them without hesitation..
Ed - known you all my life... "mr encyclopedia"... one of these days i'll find a subject that you don't know anything about and get you :)

yoyu guys are some of the very few that believe in me and push me to do what i do best.. or else i would be somewhere working a lousy 9-5

my talented brother - he has taught me everything i know about art, paiting, drawing, form, light, shape, photography...much much much more... i cant even imagine where i would be without him.

cyberage dave - you rock! known you not too long, but feels much much longer... all the late night chats and exchanging pics... you've given me so many opportunities and chances... thank you is not enough.

nichepay nader, izz and juicy (my lovers), bdjuff, baddog, kurosh, hal, punker, aly, giant gnome (for all his positive attitude and kindness)... so many of you... have taght me and showed me so many people and new things... again a thank you is not enough..

and the biggest: my parents:
for their support... both mental and financial... no words can describe how much i appreciate what they have done for me...

wouldn't change anything about any of it... im sure im missing a few..

Q'on from OnProbation :thumbsup & katdaddy :thumbsup :thumbsup
both from day 1 have had my back and helped me so much. two really good people

also gotta shout out redshoe who has spent hours helping me out with comus, video editing and even takes time to listen to what ever I talk about...even when I'm giddy from lack of sleep :1orglaugh

NubianPrince is he even on this board? dag he has helped me with so much stuff, I feel like I should give him my first born.

Not one but myself.

My wife she takes care of our 2 and 1 year olds and does all the cooking and cleaning for the most part just so I can slave away for 20 hours a day I would be lost without her.

TheHun :thumbsup

i dont wanna make a list because i might miss someone from it

Geeze guys, thanks for making me feel like a heel for not including my wife. :Oh crap :1orglaugh

For me its Philip from APN and Morgan from OCCash. Without them I'd be back in a warehouse lifting paint cans up and down stairs right now.

Wizdom and Cyberbabe from Eliteplanet did a lot for me too.

rock on :GFYBand

Yes, thank you very much Aaron from me too

MrPheer taught me everything I know

Al Gore for inventing the internet.

You know, it didn't even cross my mind to worry about my issues at that moment. It's kind of strange, but when someone else needs my help, I help and that's that. I'll worry about my shit later.

No thanks needed, hon. I'm just glad I could help you.



And as far as who's helped me, I couldn't list them here. There are really too many. I just know that I thank each and every one of them wholeheartedly. It's a big circle, GG. You help someone, and someone helps you. That's how it is in a business where we feel like a community instead of just a biz. :)

Nobody really..I had to learn the hard way without any help from anybody..

same here :thumbsup

Hmmm...

First and foremost I'd like to thank Jact and Ladymischief, they have ALWAYS been there for me and always done me right. They're MOOSERIFIC!!! Also making the TOP grade would be the Shemp, StuartD, XxXotic, and Kevin and Lyn from MediumPimpin, they're certainly All-Stars in my book as well!!!

From right HERE (GFY/RealityCash) a HUGE salute has to go to Loryn and RRRed for all the help they've recently been giving, and for putting up with my countless questions, requests, and ramblings on ICQ. And also to SPANNOW and Eric as well for my ICQ ramblings. And of course MUCHO thanks to Lensman for having and hiring the rest of the Adult.com/RealityCash family!

Of course thanks to all those that I've ever PHOTO-CHOPPED!!! If I didn't give a damn about you, then YOU wouldn't have been in the images! I usually don't bother with doing "negative" photo-chops, so if you've been in any of my online images or satires, take it as a Badge of HONOR!

ALSO, on a different track... I'd like to thank all of the lying, cheating, scumbag, thieves in this industry I've had to deal with for inspiring me to do more on my own! I'd like to thank all the crappy, worthless, constantly overdue designers out there for getting me more familiar and proficient with my own design skills. I'm NOT going to list all the names involved in THIS, mainly because I think that there is a single post limitation of under 10,000 characters. But most of them KNOW who they are.

Hmm there is one guy that works for a program that helps me out a ton. I won't mention what program or his name since he doesn't post on here often and most people prolly don't even know him. Basically helps me out so much, teachers me new tricks and helps me along the way.

you make me moist :winkwink:

hmm... lets see...

alek, mike and everyone at oxeo for taking such good care of me and my sites.
Jact - for being one of the few canadian infidels I can tolerate :winkwink: I've known him and his lovely wife Lady M since way back and they've always been super helpful and put up with my sassyness. Plus I think they both like my pinko amerikkkan pecker
The Dancing Banana Man himself, Texas Dreams. For immortalizing me banana style and for also being a devout Bush hating democrat like myself. Plus he's a sexy texan worthy of all night man-lovin
Dan the man, my milf-mastering dirty UK brother asif aka "drunken" I've known him since almost day 1, he throws down some sick d&b and has been one of the few people I've known longer then 3 days that I can stand talking to. No matter what, he's around to help with anything and that's a rarity in most people.
Shemp - What can I say, the ABSOLUTE nicest guy in the industry, hands down. I wouldn't even know where to begin describing the ways I've learned from shemp. I could never say it enough, THANK YOU!

I could go on forever, but Tarver just kicked johnson's ass, pizza is finally here and I'm going to eat. There have been a great many helpful people to me, but these are the one's who have consistantly been there and have lent advice regardless how ridiculous my situation was. Thanks, all of you

Redshoe (here on gfy)

if it wasnt for him, i would have never started in this industry!
much kudos (if you're reading this thread).

You're a good man - hit me up anytime you wanna talk!!! :thumbsup

And I thought you loved me, GiantGnome. :(

I keep my thoughts and feelings for you to myself. :Graucho

You never know when baldy will pop up. :uhoh

Jesus 678

:thumbsup

btw I STILL use FrontPage, LOL.

This thread is kinda surreal....I just deleted ALL that stuff today from back in the day since there's no way I could get it 2257 compliant in time. All those sites from back then basically tossed out the window. Actually I just had every image deleted but the sites are still there so I don't completely loose that traffic. My operation is vastly different than it was 5 years ago so I'm not too concerned about the loss..but it's still kinda surreal to basically delete what took years to build and was the very first traffic/income producing sites I made.

My shout outs go to everyone at Maxcash. Prior and present employees. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't be here.

Thank You To All of the Little People...

OMG....that is so awsome, that little guy looks a little like Adam Corrola from Love Line? :1orglaugh

Everyone I'd like to thank does not know me. Slapass, Donald Chase (whoever you are) and BigCook...

all ive learned, ive learned from experiences... reading the boards and experiencing myself....

Everything I know was beaten into me by sadistic nuns and queer priests.

Fight pedophilia - ban adult porn, and support the Catolic church. :1orglaugh

ADG Webmaster

LOL - So true, he's a sneaky fucker... :winkwink:

Oh sweetheart we love you too!!!! TD has been such an inspiration for me, and he always puts a smile on my face when I'm down!


As for people to thank, there are so many. I would definitely have to say Shemp is one of the people who has done a lot for us.. He's an incredible guy! The crew at Medium Pimpin, MP, Mailman, Lyn and all of them.. just been awesome.

I would definitely have to thank my husband for being an incredible, loving, supportive partner in all things for me. I couldn't do it without him. Love you jact!

I have to thank Steve Lightspeed, Rochard and the Lightspeed crew, they have been wonderful to me. (Got my jersey! Must post pictures! THANKS GUYS!)

Lars has been a huge inspiration to us over the years, and he's always got a kind word.

Minte is one of the people I respect more than just about any other person in this industry. His insights into business never cease to amaze me, and I've learned so much from him over the years, more than I could ever thank him for.

Lenny2 and his lovely wife are people I've come to greatly respect, you guys are the bomb.

Xxxotic.. what's to be said for this sweetheart? You rock darlin!

Pornodoggy, you are the man that started it all.. Thanks for giving me a chance :)

Thanks to all of our customers over the years, both through the content store and my design services.. you are the people that make it happen.

There's just too many people to name! I could go on for days.

welcome to the asskissing thread

appreciating someone and letting them know it is not ass kissing.

have you never had anyone go out of their way for you?

Much respect for you man... you have a great head on your shoulders with a side of sense of humour a mile wide.
You're one of the rare ones that puts a lot of thought into everything, does what's right and won't be compromized by peers or a dollar sign.

That's very important and a fresh relief in todays world :thumbsup

Chris Jester (splitinfinity) taught me this biz. I'd be singing his praises to this day if he hadn't ripped me the last time we did biz.

can't think of a single person.

meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

50........,
