I'm apparently not up with the code so don't know what /b/ is, but hopefully it is a lot of pissed off cyber geeks who plan on getting steve back.

If this was an 'in house joke' why share it with the world?

We'll see how funny Steve thinks things are when all his sites are down.

pretty much.

/b/ is the "Anonymous" group that did the ddos attacks on paypal, amazon, visa, etc. among other things.

/b/ is about to enjoy an "inside joke" of its own, I'm guessing.

Steve Lightspeed really needs to fire that Steve Lightspeed guy.

Oh My....

oh shit if they ddos steve's sites he is going to miss out on 5 sales tomorrow. :helpme



I would like to dedicate this post to my sig whore pal, JFK...

Please visit his site at: fubarwebmasters.com

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :Oh crap :Oh crap

:thumbsup

:thumbsup

:thumbsup

:thumbsup:thumbsup

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Go /b/, is all I have to say in this instance.

"Please move on"

Good advice, thanks.

What a genius!

posted on a saturday?

That is the last group of basement dwelling internet geeks I would EVER want to piss off...

I try not to piss ANYONE off, but ... Yeah, Anonymous is way up there on my "don't" list. Made some great friends at Scientology protests, though.

Forgive my ignorance but what is this /b/ and anon you all talk about?

:Oh crap:helpme

Years back i was at steve's house and we were sitting by the pool and he told me this plan. I didn't even remember until he posted it and i also fell for it. I didn't think it was cool then nor now.

And Shap, I know the domain story and we also didn't agree on that either.

i can't find anything at /b/ about this.

How was my statement problematic? We sell fantasy don't we? Everyone on the outside looks at porn as its such a fantasy, when behind the scenes its not all glitz and glamour...its hard fucking work these days.

I think it's probably BS. Doesn't seem like their style unless a bunch of them posted tributes and got pissed after the reveal. But it did make straight dope: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/...d.php?t=591164

I'll just say that its sad that this is who we've become. Seems we humans get less decent every day. To all that spoke out against Steve, good, that is very nice to see. I thought Steve was a standup guy but this proves otherwise. Since when is death a joke?

Most of the stuff on there ends up fizzling out without happening, but the things that DO happen end up being big.

Most of the threads about it were last night. Not sure if you understand that the threads "fall off" and 404 ... Links are useless.

And yes, it was baaaaawwwwww time afer the reveal. Lots of funny hole-in-head chops, tho, LOL. I saved one of the threads on my iPad from last night for lulz.

30 mins after it was first posted here that it was on /b/ i couldnt find it either... i went 10 pages deep.... maybe not far enough??

can you post some of the hole in the head chops here too ?

Haha I didn't make any of them unfortunately. There was a FUUUUUUUUU cartoon, too. Just post anothet pic on /b/, tell them who it is, and hopefully they'll post 'em up. It's been like 12 hours, so who knows what crew is around now.

I'm gonna try to e-mail the beginning of one thread from last night to ya .. Would you mind posting it for me? I can't figure out an easy way to post it from the iPad.

As an older member here..(I mean by age) I find it funny as the other older members here are crashing and burning. I had a vision of online adult in the earlier part of the game, it was quite simply keep your head low and make that money. I came from the street side of porn back in the golden days before all of this mess. We never would have peacocked as hard as some people have. I always felt that if you stand out you will fall either by your own hand or someone elses. Fly under the radar and you can fly forever.. make a spectical of yourself ,you will get the attention that you so seriously crave for a while and when your star fades you will be a clown for the next generation; you still get attention as a clown , so chin up "pimps" lol. Buisness is not about drawing attention to yourself by promoting yourself.. its about smart people noticing your quiet accomlisments and quietly cashing in on them. I would give this small bit of advice to the young blood around here.. its not about how cool you sell but how good you sell. The candle that burns twice as brite lasts half as long. Throwing 40-50k parties is retarded when you could keep all that money in your pocket (and save it) and give your partners a great night for 2k. The guys who want to have a dick measuring contest are the guys who will at one point in the future be giving blowjobs for bologna samwiches..As seen in fig. 1-216... Shine on you crazy diamonds... Leave the Fake pimpin shit for the crash and burners and watch the show. :)

Great advice, thanks for sharing it with us.

Steve...
To think I was feeling bad for you, thinking that there was a possibility that maybe it was true and was about stand-up for you.
Thinking
*Nobody, not even you would dig a grave like this and then drag it out long after it was going all bad...*

So happy I waited...
I can over look the 1st post as a joke and even over look not posting the dated as 2001-2010 ... But the follow-up etc. Nope, thats going a little past the point of a laugh.

Maybe next time I see you at a show you can explain to me how this was all a great idea...

On the upside your fail has managed to give people on GFY a common ground where many didn't have one.

So maybe it's a great start to 2011.. *Just not for you*

This is great advice.

I've got about a decade into this biz and I would have to say the ego seems to be the downfall for many. It's more addictive than cocaine- people start drinking their own kool-aid and lose sight of what's important. They start promoting themselves in place of the brand and in the process they take their eyes off the bottom line.

Patrick King knows the score

:2 cents: and a :thumbsup on Patrick Kings advice, dead on and how I have managed to stick it out as long as I have

and I second what Shelly said. The cult of personality has many followers. When you start taking the focus off the product and make yourself the hype it is only a matter of time before you hit that brick wall

who actually reads all the post in these threads?

excellent :thumbsup

that's how i live my life (disregard the postcount - it's advertising. lol)

Hahahaha.can the people offering up advice to the successful please point out one thing that they've accomplished first?
Talk is cheap

LMAO, you are offering advice to us with that post, so you go first. Give us your list of accomplishments.... in the last 10 years...

Steve "was" successful. Now he has a plummeting porn biz and a start up "sueing people" biz. So you count people as "successful" because they made a lot of money in the past even though they are not making that much now??? ok, i know figures you would for obvious reasons.

Talk is cheap... and Seriously?

Your scale of accomplished is what then, $4m a year? Hey, I'll give some respect to the success of anyone reaching that or any goal they set.

But you would have to be rather thick headed to think many others haven't reached and broken that mark, past and present and several people in this thread too.


Sorry...the more I think about it, the more I just have to laugh at your question. Even asking it is pure, hahahaha.

If we can agree Lightspeed is the benchmark for what you consider success, and Lightspeed made $5 mil top line in 05 according to the article, that year I was 25 years old and running the marketing department for a company doing 3 times that gross.

Some people prefer to walk softly and carry a big stick.:2 cents:
