does anyone have any pics of marc to add to this thread?

:GFYBand

My first check was ARS!

That's bad ass, Sleazy.

I hate the phrase "this is going to be good" that get's posted in your ambush threads, or any variation of it, but "this is going to be good". I've only seen posts of Marc via this board, and he has always been more than professional and courteous; even under fire.

Damn happy to read his responses and feel lucky to do so.

this is the one that all the other owners are going to read

Wow looking forward to the answers of this one - I love these interviews with people who have been online forever :)

Why do you refer to ARS as being closed?

http://www.adultrevenueservice.com
Unless this is all one big scam, its definitely still going.

Granted it's not what it once was, but closed it is not.

Hey guys - I just got 'hooked up' at my RV site for the night. I'm online from my MotoSat high speed Satellite net connection :) I'm going to peck away at these throughout the weekend. I don't want to write one massive response. I'll get started now.... :)
