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

Condolences on your loss. Your Dad was a legend.

Thank you!

Nice to meet you Shemp Jr. My condolences to you and your family. He was a legend in this industry and his kindness and wisdom will truly be missed.

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.

You're a good son. Remembering and memorializing. That's also legacy.

Check your pm.

condolences and cheers.

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!

He was a nice guy, so sorry for your loss Shemp Jr.

My condolences. :(

Your father was a good man, he was always very patient and helpful with me.

Good luck with handling your legacy, and I'd be happy to answer any questions, or help with anything.

Peace

Shemp was a true OG.
Do whatever you think is the right thing...

this is legendary that next generation is reaching out, thanks for taking the effort and welcome.

I'm sorry to hear about your father Shemp Jr. Would you like to continue his legacy of running websites?

Condolences on your loss. :(
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..

Sorry for your loss, he was a good person, you take care

My condolences to you and your family.

I don't know you and I didn’t know your dad, but this post shows true courage.

Your dad raised you well. Respect.

I looked up to this man and talked to him often throughout the years. We did biz together and he was a great partner and friend.

Im "Mike Jones" on his facebook.

Feel free to add me and keep in touch. I'll do all I can to help guide you and give suggestions and bounce ideas off at your lesiure.

It's the least I can do.

RIP to your dad. We all thought the world of him.

BP4L.

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

damn.. youre a good son

My belated condolences, Shemp Jr.

I'm a greenhorn to all this myself but whenever I'd see your father's name on here lurking, it was all reverent. Godspeed my friend!

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.

ive bought many spots on your dads site over the years, shemp was always friendly at all times and such a wonderful man and person to deal with. im sorry for your loss.

I was checking recips today and found the following on outlawtgp.com:

This account has been suspended.
Either the domain has been overused, or the reseller ran out of resources.

Totally heartbroken. Shemp Jr, if you need help please ask!! Please don't let your dad's legacy die.

If I had the money I would pony up $10,000 and hire a junior film crew to do a mini documentary on The Shemp's life and his family and the benefits of the adult industry for providing for his family and shit.

Instead, I will offer a donation of $10 to that because I think I have that much on my PayPal but I might be in single digits again I did buy some $5 wine recently

If you read this message, please reach out to me when you have a moment.
I tried calling your dad's mobile but the VM is full

Thanks :thumbsup
