Xtrm, as a fellow entrepreneur, Don’t you think that this would have better been done on a more personal level with Bjarne rather than posting it publicly.
By posting it publicly, it comes across as more of a publicity stunt, an act of attention whoring if you will, a failed attempt to flash your wallet around and make out how big and successful you are.
I mean, why don’t you just post a picture of your house, a swimming pool full of money and a trophy whores.
Nice PR stunt, really.
Exactly. lol What’d you think he was tryin' to do?
No really, my intentions to buy moviecodec were genuine at the time. I purposely made it public to see how the members would react. In fact, all joking aside, I’m going to email Bjarne on a more seriously confidential matter to bring this investment idea to his attention and hopefully get him to share profit figures and talk to see if there’s any way to improve the site’s traffic, advertising, etc..
You never know, something may come of this. I’m kind of iffy on the whole idea so I would like to contact Bjarne and get him to reveal his numbers in profits, etc. then go from there.
P.S. The Porno thing is a joke in case you haven’t caught on buy now. ---

If you buy his site, add more “manly” features on to it. --- "Man.. It feels good when alot of losers are around. "

I have earned my disillusionment. Rep: 53  Joined: 03 May 2006 Posts: 7,416 | No offense intended in what I’m going to say Xtrm - I think you’re a good member and I have respect for you.
But if you were to purchase this site I know I’d be one of the first to go. Simply because I could see this site becoming more of a “boy’s club” than it already is. ---

strychnine in the guacamole Rep: 47  Joined: 06 Jan 2006 Posts: 16,025 OFFLINE | Bye. The main goal would be to attract more people, male or female. I think you have me wrong when it comes to business and what it would take to please the “mainstream”, not Etain! There’s a huge mass of market out there and lets face it, the minority that visits moviecodec on a regular basis is not mainstream market material. ---

Go take a look at THIS FORUM SITE and tell me what you see?
Notice how fast it moves? There are literally thousands of members online at once all posting. There’s something there that’s attracting people by the masses which Moviecodec does not have.
I have a few ideas in mind and a few programmers I’m talking with to make something of this old run-down raggedy site with it’s very few regulars.
Mainstream, man! That’s what it’s all about. The few regular hardcore here are in their own little world. It’s like a little hick town here @ moviecodec where everybody knows everybody and they burn witches @ the stake because they’re secluded from the rest of the world. Think big and you shall receive big. Outside the box, man! ---

I had to laugh about the “burning witches”. Yes, I would agree that Gaia is a fast-moving site, although it’s not strictly a forum site. It’s more like a combination between a game, myspace and a forum. Most people come for the game, but talk in the forum.
That said, now my curiosity is piqued about your ideas. Of course we’ll have to wait until you hear back from Bjarne... ---

Nevae Anariva Rep: 47  Joined: 01 Apr 2007 Posts: 9,974 | Funnily, I think I know what XTRM is talking about. (I say funnily because often I misunderstand EVERYTHING someone else says, but in this case I’m even a member of the other site in question)
Most of this site is pretty secluded; outsiders are rarely welcome in open arms, many parts of it are above PG level (this may not seem a big deal to many now, but it would attract many other people), and other things like obsessive flaming and spammers and whatnot.
But, of course, I’m sure many people have already taken note of many things like that that make it fairly “secluded” here. ---

Yes I would agree with all of that. I think I’ve mentioned this before, but an acquaintance of mine from a large online game told me she once visited this site and found that people were so rude that she never returned. Me, I came to this site through the lonely thread so my experience was quite a bit different. ---

Regular Rep: 5  Joined: 07 Jul 2007 Posts: 692 OFFLINE | To be honest I hope Xtrm gets it. I think this place needs a shack up. And members need to start being nice to one another.
I have seen to many decent folk go from hear cos of all the slagging off that happens hear.
Am thinking that Xtrm may need to be patient for a reply tho, couple moor weeks am thinking  maybe I got a seventh sense about this things D,, Are maybe a little birdy told me lol are maybe am just talking complete and otter bollocks again hah | | #33 19 Nov 2007 12:12 pm |
