Back in February 2005 I held the first Mikey's Fest gathering in Santa Cruz Ca.

[PrimaDonna]

I should have never commented. It was childish and immature, I was trying to make bawb laugh.
I forget that others read this stuff and take it out of context. Meg & John are my friends. I didn't think it through.
I would never intentionally say something negative or off color with the intent of hurting someone or their reputation.
I apologize to Meg & John, I am sorry.
I'm going go crawl back under my rock.

I'm so confused.... I'm not sure why you are apologizing.

I responded only to Mike and his comment about me being an anarchist. That is all this is about.

 

[bob vawter]

If it makes you feel better Richard. ....
I laughed lik hell......

 

[bob vawter]

You HAVE to be shitting me....!

 

[hogjowl]

You HAVE to be shitting me....!

That's generally the case.

 

[Bob Pruitt]

I have absolutely no idea what this is about so I'm thinking this is all funny as hell and I agree we should blame Chavez for whatever this is about!!! This Mikey board is a hoot! But Fred is... you know... it could be his fault...just saying...

 

[Zee]

Yeah Pruitt, you're next!

Get ready....

Set....


Go.

 

[Mikey P]

[bob vawter]

Richard, I don't think you have a mean bone in your body. Perverted? Yes. Mean? No. You take a lot of stupid crap from all us and have the grace and wit, to turn the tables on us.

Yeah right.. He's thinking now, "Whaddayamean??? I have a mean mighty bone (r) in my body!!!"

 

[Cleanworks]

Yeah right.. He's thinking now, "Whaddayamean??? I have a mean mighty bone (r) in my body!!!"

That's because he's thinking of you

 

[dealtimeman]

I have only been to a few of them but they are fun and informative.

But I can't go this time as I have 2 one bedroom occupied apartments already scheduled for that week.

 

[Zee]

That's because he's thinking of you

 

[hogjowl]

I thought it was funny

 

[JS41035]

Aptos was awesome.

 

[hogjowl]

Yeah, Gary Berg was a legend.

 

[Mikey P]

Well I hope you can enjoy this free event Justin...

 

[JS41035]

I would go even if it cost several hundred bucks. Aptos MF was awesome for Dad and I. Anyone who is within driving distance would be crazy to miss it. Hopefully my wife and kiddos love it to.
I was just getting nostalgic. Maybe I'm getting old.

 

[Mikey P]

I'm having a hard time thinking of a forum, other than this one for a couple of years, that was not ran for profit...

 

[SamIam]

Bidness is bidness!

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Profit is not the issue.

 

[Mikey P]

Enough with the Stockwellisms..

Do you two have a gripe or not?

 

[hogjowl]

You, of all people, shouldn't complain about cryptic posts.

 

[Bob Pruitt]

Not Carpet Cleaning related by this is what I have done online for the last 20 years. http://www.infohorse.com Every single person on every page pays us to be here.
It's OK to make a profit off this board it would be wrong to tell everyone how wonderful a product is when it isn't, like I see happening on another board, RA, especially to newbies.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

No gripe at all....yet.

Users pay?

 

[Bob Pruitt]

Users pay?

No. Over a thousand advertisers pay. Yearly. Home page is more, sponsorship is more, then basic ads are loaded in a database. Every article is written by advertisers so content comes from them... like this board.
Typical ad
http://www.infohorse.com/ShowAd.asp?id=7267

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Articles written by advertisers CAN go both ways.

 

[Bob Pruitt]

Articles written by advertisers CAN go both ways.

Yes and people understand that... written by x company is at the top of every article. If you are trying to research a product, a horse trailer for example and the guy who makes the aluminum trailer gets to tell you all the benefits of why his lighter trailer is better but then the next article is from the guy that makes the steel trailer gets to explain why his trailer is stronger...doesn't fold like a beer can in an accident... whatever, people get all the information and can make a judgement for themselves. I can't write about horse trailers, I've never built one... So the title of the site is InfoHorse and the one sentence description is - The information lives here - Everything on this site is an ad or an article that is brand building to the advertiser. You are right, articles can go both ways so can ads etc.
