over what one of my "fans" posts?

Because my "Fan" and "Archivist" Jason () has been allowed to post and the Board has decided to CONTINUE to COMMENT on his post .... one of my OLD posts about my "WEDDING PHOTO" program, I will respond:

First off, Jason has been banned from posting, we check daily for his posts...in this case it was a different fan, and his NEW id has been deleted.


OVER 8 years ago, I got THIS PROMO IDEA. Then....about 2 years ago I put together a program for Wedding Photogs and Reception Halls. I COULD NOT FIND the "right" software to use so....I used a program where the Photog or Hall had to install on THEIR pcs....AND...they used THEIR OWN DOMAIN NAMES.

This doesn't jive with what you have posted in the past...and Don, I think that is one reason you have so many "fans" as you put it...your stuff just doesn't jive.

Because of these 2 factors;
1) Software that had to be installed on my client's pcs
2) Use my customer's Domain Name and websites

....I could not charge a "Monthly Membership Fee". I had to sell the program in a LUMP SUM to each customer.

This contradicts what you've posted, saying you got huge monthly fees...SEE? That is what confuses me...I'm not attacking Don...you and I have exchanged ideas and I appreciate that...but, if you get called on something you say you've done...I don't find it unreasonable to ask for a little more detail...that's all.

And....after a few sales....I dropped it for a later day when the software I'm looking for would be available AND....the Domain Name I wanted would become available....so I could offer a service where Photogs and Halls could simply use their Browser to;
1) Enter MY website with their password
2) UpLoad their photos into an Album....and
3) Each "Album" would be listed under the name of the wedding

(Back then, when I went to register the Domain I wanted, I saw that someone had already grabbed it. Shame on me for divulging too much info, too soon)

According to your posts on other forums and I believe here too, you were actively doing this...so no one stole anything...just "imitated"? you perhaps?

So....one of the "future notes to myself" reminded me to see if the Domain Name I wanted was available....and it was, this week....so I grabbed it.

Now....I still do not have the;
1) Membership Software
2) Photo Album software

I STILL might have to hire a programmer to modify the scripts some of the "good people" here have mentioned.

AND....when I have the right software....I WILL go get "MEMBERS" who will pay me a Monthly Fee....to post their Photos on my site.

Will and DID are where I have a problem Don. When you first wrote about this, I thought, "Gee, didn't Don already do this thing?"

Now it seems a little bit convoluted to ME? Not to Jason, Mark, Jim or any of your other "FANS"...I'm just trying to get the story straight.

I have discovered, THIS WEEK, that THIS idea is STILL....very doable and of MUCH INTEREST to this "Niche Market".

Thus....is MY explanation of WHY I have AGAIN....brought up THIS Topic...in response to a post one of my "fans" has made....which has gotten some of you folks "in a Fuzz".

Now....I have to leave my keyboard to go collect checks from customers of my present program. And, when I return here this evening, I fully expect to see comments from "my Fans"....who will "attempt to tear this response apart, sentence by sentence....and possibly MORE comments from the "commanders of this Forum"....wondering about something else "my Fan" has said. WHO has been BANNED from this Forum but contimues to be allowed to post "UnderCover".

NOT TRUE Don. I resent you saying that. YOU have brought your "fans" along...we didn't do anything to shine a light on you or what you say...you've done that quite nicely on your own.

My advice is, if you don't want to be questioned on your posts, then DON'T post. Simple solution for you and for US. Then we don't have to spend OUR TIME Don, NOT YOURS...we don't have to spend our time mopping up after you and your "Fans" have slung the BS.

Your "fans" may have some legit complaints about you Don, but I don't care...as I've told them before...I'd just like to see the BS disappear here for a short while and we get back to what the forum does best...

Share REAL ideas and help each other out...any doubt we I have about your programs has been raised by YOU...not your fans.
