How to continue a legacy?

Greetings. I'm Shemp Jr. It's a pleasure to meet you all.

So you've probably heard that Shemp has passed away. It's true he has. Peacefully.

I'll cut to the chase. My father told me that if I could find the password to this forum, then I should reach out.

So I set off on a quest and filed through one page after another. Minutes went by, and then hours. The amount of passwords Shemp has is legendary. But then it hit me. Like Las Vegas buffet after a night of drinking. It must be saved somewhere on his computer. Eventually I found the password hidden away in a random folder.

So here I am. With a simple question.

How does one continue such a legacy? Of course, I still remember the legendary Shemp URL, which sadly is no longer his. I also understand that the industry has changed drastically over that time. With the all-consuming power of the Tube sites. But I want to make a mark, in honor of my dad and what he created.

So any ideas? I know he runs the Outlaw website currently. But I'm thinking bigger. Any advice is welcome. Industry or the like.

Oh, and Shemp leaves you with this one piece of wisdom. "Never settle."*
He told me that after I asked him if he had any more advice.

Thank you
Shemp Jr

Your intentions are quite honorable!

My first question would be: Do you have any experience being a webmaster? Can you code? Do you have experience media buying?

If you're starting at 0 when it comes to affiliate marketing, then my suggestion is to start looking at your father's TGP and how he ran it. Learn the basics of operating a TGP, hosting, scripts, etc. and start gradually building your skillset from there.

I was thinking about you all day today and wondering if any would even want to try and pick up the reigns from the racehorse that was your father, he fought one hell of a fight against a disease the eventually just caught up to him. I can not think of a better place for you to possibly learn from people that watched him achieve so much in his time spent in the industry. Check those PM's and I am sure you will receive some sage advise. You already kicked the first stone over, keep on digging, knowing your father, im sure there are a plethora of clues to solve. Respect!

Not sure if you have any plans with the outlaw TGP, but you could just close the submission page, so in case you want to run it again , you don't have a huge backlog..

Bump, because Shemp Jr rising to continue Shemps legacy (RIP) deserves more activity than people complaining about fucking pronouns.

My condolences.

what you will find tough trying to fill in his role, is that he understood this business to the core.

He'd advise, and take newbies under his wing, with NOTHING expected in return.
he provided advice, and "traffic" by letting you list things other webmasters wouldnt, just so you could see how it failed.. He listed galleries for me, that he knew were shit, so I could see it with my own eyes.

You are in big shoes my man, but I wish you the best.
so the proble you will have, stepping into his shoes is that the Shemp just knew.. he knew how to make traffic work, in a way that ... even the most seasoned industry giant may not have.

I wish you luck.

My condolences to you and your entire family, Shemp Jr. Your dad was a legend (as you well know). No matter what direction you decide to go, this community is here to help and support you, even if it is just maintaining the Outlaw TGP site. May his memories be a blessing to you and yours.
