This is to let any and all parties involved know that I have severed my relationship with British Bucks and terminated my partnership with Sam. Any questions regarding British Bucks should be directed to Sam.
I have also asked that Sam to discontinued use of any licensed content I brought to the partnership. I realize this will have an adverse effect on the British Bucks sites but I have no alternative.

A wise decision Roy given what has transpired over the past few weeks im just sorry you appear to have been mixed up in all of this crap by association.
Whats the latest on hubby btw?

Hi there
When every thing happened I had no clue what was going on, none at all. A few people came to me and started to ask if I had read the boards, and my answer was no. I just didn't have time with starting two new blogs a day job, and everything else that has been happening with the state department and my lover.
Call me stupid but I did try to read throw all the threads here and on other boards but just couldn't keep up. You know when you are spread really thin, things fall throw the cracks and you watch mainly the things that are making you money. Because, every penny counts now a days.
I would have no clue at all if a few people weren't watching my back all the time. In business you win some and lose some, if you don't take a change now and then you never get ahead. I tried and for me it was a loser.
Roy
I wouldnt go that far babe, id say you made a mistake and partnered up with a loser but, what you achieved in a relatively short amount of time was very promising :thumbsup:Quote:

In business you win some and lose some. I've been with a few start up companies and a few went under. It's all business and how you handle yourself in it. No matter what business you go into.
I do want to thank you! Very Much! For your support and understanding in this matter. The matter with the state department and my lover is basically over and done with; the government is just not going to give even an inch. I'm still going to try and keep up the pressure, but it doesn't look good. As far as a program, I really not sure because of the time and money needed to get it of the ground and to get awesome content for it.
As long as my one site worldtwink keeps on making money, and if the three blogs make money I'll be happy for now. It is a dream to own a giant program but for now it's on the way back burner.
Once again I want to thank everyone for being so supportive in this matter, and hope that people keep on doing business with me.
Roy
I wanted to add here.
Sam made a few mistakes along the way. I'm not going to get into it. No Drama here please. But I do know Sam from e-mails, talking now and then on the phone. He isn't a loser. He's young and still wet behind the ears. He has a lot to offer a company or in this business. He's learned and has grown way up!
Roy
I have asked sam to remove my name and icq from britishbucks but he will not. Don't ask me why.
Still think he isnt a loser? ;)Quote:

Im having second thoughts now, big time.
Roy's departure from the company is sad indeed, but we wish him the best of luck in his future projects.
Britishbucks we almost purchased by a company Pulz Productions. To cut a complicated story short it was called off.
Britishbucks is now back and fighting strong. We launched a new front end to the britishbucks website today (www.britishbucks.com) and the new webmasters area will be complete tommorow. We have 2 new exclusive sites on the way, and an absolute MASS of promotion tools for our resellers.
Maybe check it out. www.britishbucks.com
And again a big thank you to Roy (ponyboy) for the time and effort devoted to britishbucks.com.
Is it likely with all the publicity that anyone here will be converted by a site change? Actually knowing how fickle porn webmasters are they probably will..
With so many bridges having been burnt and, with so many lies having been told over the past few weeks i really do feel that it is going to take a LOT more than just a design change to bring people back.Quote:

Im afraid i lost all faith when another company got caught violating 2257, yet a few weeks later every one scrambled to promote them again. Some people even said it was a great time to promote them as "surley theyd be 100% legal now". Made me wonder exactly what it would take.
It's been a few weeks with people not talking about this - Like it's almost under the rug but not fully.Quote:

Every time that Sams program is mentioned, one of two things are going to happen from now on...
1) He has to mentioon that he is no longer associated with that scammer Reece or Pulz
2) Someone will remind everyone else about that scammer Reece and/or Pulz and all the bridges that Sam burnt and lies that Sam told through the whole incident.
It might be said in full view but, i can guarantee it will be said to those who need to know about the 'history' like when Sam posted in this thread, i got a couple of ICQs almost immediately letting me know he was posting, as i am sure a couple of other people did.
We never forget the important stuff.

Lee
Oh trust me, its been spoken about, just not in public (on GWW) because we have moved on.. From the scamming and lies, but like i mentioned above, it will never be forgotten and every time Sam does something, he and others are going to be reminded about what happened.Quote:

A lot of bridges have been burnt yes. In fact I have been very upset with myself and with a lot of my comments and actions towards others. When I get cornered, or something pisses me off, I sadly have the "bad" personality that makes me go on the OFFENSIVE not DEFENSIVE. It really sucks, and although its no excuse, it’s the truth.
Lee, I even burnt the bridge with you when being annoyed I posting a thread on GFY suggesting you may have something to do with CP. You know I am sorry for that, and again I apologize.
You are correct in saying that re-designing a website isn’t going to repair bridges. I am actually re-designing a lot of things to get them up to a new standard; it’s not for fixing bridges, its more to raise the standard of my sites in the eyes of other people, and help conversions ect.
I am aware that some friendships and business relationships that have been broken by recent events, such as the one between you and me, will never be repaired however hard anyone tries, however I am trying to make amends with everyone I can. A lot of what has been said was never intended to have the effect it did.
At the moment, I just want to move on from all that has happened. Its hurt me on a huge scale mentally, physically and financially, not even taking into account collateral damage to my business.
I would like to talk to anyone who still has concerns or questions about anything. I am contactable on ICQ most hours of the day/night at 244-711-635.
Thanks for your time everyone.
jeez, i'm out of the loop. what happened here?
