Okay, I've been busier than a one armed wallpaper hanger, and have taken on a couple of new sites as well as working on my "Magnum Opus Site" and I've been slacking on keeping the Pink Mafia Site updated, sooooooooo at long last there are additions to the Skypics Gallery, The Atlanta Halloween Boogie Gallery and a new "Alli and Brian's Birthday Bash" gallery - all here http://www.thepinkmafia.com/Gallery/gallery.htm Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

actually she won an award on there last night, she even made a reference to her "performance" on SNL and with some self-deprecating humor repeated the Jig she performed. Interestingly the crowd was about 50/50 with boos versus cheers as she took her "best new artist" award Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

Oh yes...... from "They Live" a John Carpenter film, Rowdy Roddy Piper says, "I have come here today to chew bubblegum and to kick ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum" and another Rowdy Roddy classic, from "Hell comes to Frogtown", "Eat Lead Froggy!!!"

[reply What I am trying to convey is that real DZOs do play a part in SkyRide's success, even if they do not accept their certificates, because they are not creating web sites that reach their target market effectively. . Why should they have to be proactive about combating websites created by fellow skydivers who want to steal the food from their table????? You can be a great dzo and not web-savvy like Ben and Jerry, so you should have to learn google masterclasses and theft 101 just to be an honest business man? Sorry slotperfect I stand by my original assertion (but I won't repeat it)........ Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

Unfortunately when Mike said that Ben and Jerry (feeble humor attempt alert) weren't parasites and were just guilty of "aggressive marketing" he kinda dragged himself into it. I can quite happily say that the people behind 1-800-Skyride are thieves. I'll even emphasise it - THE PEOPLE BEHIND 1-800-SKYRIDE ARE THIEVES - they have stolen intellectual property (Tim's website), they have stolen photographers images and been told about it, they are guilty of advertising TOTALLY misleading websites for centers that DO NOT EXIST (I don't want to give them a link but check out newyorkskydiving.com) - now - If I'M WRONG or MALIGNING THEM _ SUE ME! They are thieves, so Mike, if you truly believe this is just aggressive marketing, Unnecessary pointed comments removed by slotperfect.

Let me see , they steal images, whole web site designs, use bait and switch advertising, use bogus and misleading websites for dz's that don't exist using images they don't own.. and the list goes on, but they're not parasites???? If they offer you Kool-Aid I wouldn't be too quick to drink it! Denial isn't a river in Egypt! Hey, I have an idea to “aggressively market my rigging services. Maybe I'll register www.chutingstarr.com (I checked, it’s available) , build me a nice black and yellow website, call myself "The Plan B Specialist" and ask people to fed-ex me their rigs for repacks. I'll explain that I am "near Georgia" and definitely the closest rigging loft to wherever they are. I’ll explain that it’s easier to ship me your rig for faster service, hell I’ll even give them my UPS account # to use.. The advertised fee will be $35 (but if pressed as to why I charged their card $90 I’ll explain that the $35 is for the repack. I'll add on shipping, handling, inspection fees, "loop" costs, depreciation on my fingers etc.) I won't have to design a website 'cause I know where there's one that I can right click, save all the images and fonts and just alter the phone numbers and email addresses. Now there's some aggressive marketing for you! Hey why stop there? I can register “shootingstar” “chutestar” etc. etc. I can put versions of the same damn site with different locations – pretending to be in every state. I think I may have something here………… C'mon, get a grip. Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

Most likely starting another Corp just in case the other one has to be closed? Or, a marketing plan that has them trying to grab more of the market share by looking like more than one company. Plus, linking between the sites will help raise their placement on Google. I got this email from a friend of mine who is a dzo "I just got a call from Eline who used to work at 1800skyride and she is starting her own company, so she says. I forgot the name she is using. I think it may have been 1-800-skyteam. She wants to do essentially the same thing but sell gift certificates at a specific DZ in the persons area. She will pay the DZ what they want and tack on 35% that she keeps. In my case that would be $200 plus her $70. I wish I could get $270 for a tandem. She was really trying to sell me but I told her that I wasn't interested. I think the sport has too many 1-800-skyleeches. Isn't there some sort of pesticide we can use. I would encourage DZ's not to deal with any of these operations because it just encourages more of them to start up." Y'all are busted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
