Guest BostonGuy Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 :-) I think you moved this thread while I was in the middle of replying to it... my reply is back in the original location! BG Quote
TotallyOz Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 Yes, I did. Sorry. BostonGuy said: "Nicely said... (seems like I've been saying that to you a lot recently!) It is sad, in a way, but life moves on. It was clear from the beginning to any careful observer, that it was about money and business. There's nothing wrong with that at all: it's what drives most of the things we do each day, from the goods we consume (including literally) to the services we use or provide or the entertainment we seek. I've always wished Daddy good luck in his venture. I know that some others haven't felt that way, but I have never been privvy to any details or information that would make me change my mind. And so I wish him luck, just as I would wish any new enterprise luck. Running a business can be a lot of work, even for experienced people, and many businesses don't succeed. I hope his does. From that point of view, not publicizing the new domain name much, much earlier may have been a strategic mistake. Something like 600 people have logged into the new Message Center since its inception. One has to think that there are probably a couple thousand more who have just lurked. But those numbers are a far cry from the traffic that I think M4M used to generate on a daily basis. He has to be hoping that a lot of people saw the new URL before the M4M domain was parked. But perhaps he has a publicity campaign in place or other tricks up his sleeve. Perhaps he's willing to just be patient and let it grow; there are worse strategies. But the fact that the new domain name wasn't publicized earlier makes me wonder if you are correct in thinking that all that has unfolded in the last few days was actually planned in advance. Perhaps the timing, at least, was a surprise." BG Thanks BG, I don't think it was so much a surprise. Remember 90 days is not a good number for a surprise. I think it had more to do with not wanting to step on legal toes and make matters more difficult for any party involved. Just IMHO. Oz Quote

Can't you see it? Both of these events occured in March. There is only 16 days seperating the days between these events in March. 6 is a very important number. March is the third month. 3 is half of 6. It is now 2006. Another 6. OMG Are you blind? Why can't you see the pieces to the puzzle? Oz PS. When I just viewed the topic, there were 6 posts. The topic was viewed 66 times. Another coincidence? I think not! Quote

I think not! > LOL, Oz now you're beginning to sound like Oliver Stone...lol My only point was that Daddy OBVIOUSLY registered the now Daddysreview site almost a year before HooBoy died. I just find that curious as all hell. Was Daddy planning something a year before Hoo's death? I have NO facts about any of this....just footprints in the internet sand. Quote

Yes... a good analogy. I've always said that twinks are attracted to the most shiny object in their line of sight. And Oz is the twinkmaster. Quote

I've always said that twinks >are attracted to the most shiny object in their line of sight. > And Oz is the twinkmaster. haha. Thanks Marc. Perhaps I should reveal that the shiny object is some a pair of diamond studded glasses I purchased in Italy. There are at least 20 nice stones on each side. The shine is amazing isn't it? But, please don't tell anyone that I got them in Italy and had the diamonds put on in the night market in Bangkok. Some may begin to suspect that the diamonds are not really diamonds. Also, I was in Montreal with you last week. It seemed to me that all the boys flocked around you and not me. Did you sneak into my purse and borrow anything shinny? Thank you Sin Say Quote
Members TownsendPLocke Posted August 9, 2006 Members Posted August 9, 2006 MarcAnthony spends so much time with the boys in Montreal that his kind spirit,joie de vivre,and generous nature is well known. He is just as kind and genourous(with his time)with friends outside of the clubs as well. His"bling"radiates from within-no need for diamonds! Quote

Well I very much appreciate the compliment, even if it isn't that well deserved. Have we, or will we, meet in Montreal someday? And welcome to this board. All the new posters here are warming my soul! Quote

TotallyOz Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 After a long, over-one-year, battle between the estate and Daddy, it looks like the stand off has concluded. I am sure that the estate got what it wanted out of the past year. I am also sure that Daddy also got what he wanted from the past year. It seems to me that both parties got what they wanted in the end. The people that are screwed are the guys that put the content into the site without knowing what was happening behind the scenes. I am not a conspiracy theorist. I don’t believe Dick Cheeny had anything to do with 9/11. I don’t think Elvis is alive. However, for anyone not to believe that this was not planned all along, you are not living in reality. Within 24 hours of Hoo’s death, the battle began. It was quick to commence. Many parties were involved and they eventually drifted away. I was one of the parties. I knew from day 1 what was to transpire. I knew as I heard it with my own ears. I have said this before and I will say it again, nothing that went on here should surprise anyone. Daddy now has over a years worth of reviews. He has his own domain name that was registered over a year ago. He has an active user base and an active escort e-mail base. He has all the roots to make a successful business. However, if you honestly thought there were motivations involved here based on a friendship or love for the dead, you are misguided. Money is the key factor that motivates people around the world. When Hooboy died, he left a very valuable commodity. People have been sucking it dry every since. When the site was closed, I made a last ditch attempt to purchase the name from the estate. I made a very generous offer as well as an offer to just rent the forward of the domain name. A representative for the estate responded: The estate “does not wish to sell or forward the M4M domain name now or anytime in the future. (It) wishes to keep the name and will not allow anyone use of it.” Perhaps money is not the motivating factor behind the decision. Perhaps a sense of rest is needed for those involved. Perhaps, it was solely a business decision. Perhaps it was one that just brought closure to them. I don’t know what the reason behind their decision was. I don’t know what Daddy’s decision not to renew the ISP agreement was. I am not privy to their thoughts or motivations. All I can see is the result. Perhaps now, many will be able to sit back and take a different look at the whole situation. As I said to those involved in the estate yesterday, I did not envy them. I would hate to have been involved in what they were the past year. I do not envy Daddy, as I would not have wanted to be in his shoes the last year either. As Doc Severinsen said, “Well, the thought came to me that, for many of us who did this show, and for many people who watched the show, just because Johnny left there, didn't give them the closure they needed. But I would say that his passing gave us that closure, because I think we all realize now that he's not coming back.” I think that the site being down brings the closure that many needed but that none wanted. HooBoy’s Male Escort Review has made the transition to History. Oz Quote
